AUDIToR's OFFICE, Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT,



TT HAS BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
II of this Office TO pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tiated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails for the amounts respectively, of their
quarterly pay. II was established TO accommo-
date the contractors and meet their necessities, in
advance Of the regular and slower process of pay
ing by the drafts or warrants of the department,
and was intended only TO apply 10 one draft per
route from each contractor for the chok amount,
(deducting fines, collections &c.,) of his quarterly
pay; but it has been, and is quite generally SO
misunderstood, as TO be supposed 10 allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ingin the aggregate the contract pay for the quar-
ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation (for
il was never anything more) has thus been made
10 embarrass materially the business Of this Office,
forced upon il the settlement of the private ac-
counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with quasi sanction OF
this ofice, species OF paper currency unauthor-
ICED by the laws.
Il not unfrequently occurs, too, that this Office is
exposed 10 great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuineness of the signatures to
the assignments or endorsements Of the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made TO pass before their presentation.
II 10 therefore deemed proper to give this public
notice TO contractors. and all concerned that from
and after the 1st day of January, 1854, but one
draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will
be payed, or filed for payment, in this Office. This
draft should state upon its face, thar Is the only

new and complete Gazetteer Of the United States.
Edited by T. Baldwin and ]. Thomas, M. ID.
With new and superb map Of the United States,
engraved on STEEL
The publishers take pleasure in announcing the
completion of this, the most elaborate, compre-
hensive, and perfect Gazetteer Of the United
States that has ever issued from the press. its
preparation no considerations of expense or labor
have been allowed TO interfere with work de-
signed to be as perfect as possible in every de-
partment, and in all of its detail Nor have the
successive issues of other GaZetteers, hurried
through the press to claim the market, tenpted
the publishers to offer their book before all the
ample census (of 1850 and other material IN the
hands ofthe editors were fully digested and accu-
rately arranged.
When the Gazetteer was first announced 500
pages or at the most 900, were designed as the
limit Of the book. But SO vast was the amount Of
matter, accumulated through the personal labors
of the editors and their assistants, well as
through the active efforts Of several thousand cor
respondents in all parts of the United States the
work has sweed to near 1900 pages. The
amount Of new matter which it contains, all Of a
recent character, is very large, and in many in
stances embracing statistics and populations to
1853. This gives il an intrinsic value over every
other work of the kind in existence.
We therefore offer our Gazetteer confidently, as
the only complete and thoroughly reliable Gaset-
teer the United States yet published.
As above stated, the work is now ready, and
will be published in December, 1853 Price TO
subscribers, SO so; to non-subscrbers, 81.
