NOTICE TO U. S. MAIL. CONTRACTORS
AND THE PUBLIC.
Auditor's Office, Post Office Department,
Nuvcvibef 1, 1853.
IT HAS OEENLONG THE PRACTICE
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. It was established to accommo
date the contractors. and meet their necessities, in
advance of the regular and slewer process of pay
ing by the drafts or warrants of the department,
and was intended only to apply to one draft per
route from each contractor for the u-hoLr amount,
(deducting lines, collections, &c..) of his quarterly
pay; but it has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as to -be supposed to allow any
number of drafts, and tor any amount, not exceed
ing in the aggregate, the contract pay for the quar
ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation (for
it was never anything more) has thus been made
to embarrass materially the business of this oriice.
forced upon it the settlement of the private ac
counts of contractors, and thrown upou the ex
changes ol the country, with a quasi sanction of
this office, a species of paper currency unauthor
ised by the laws.
It not unfrequently occurs, too, that this office is
exposed to great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upou the genuineness of the signatures to
the assignments or endorsements ol' the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made to pass before their presentation."
It is therefore deemed proper to give this public
notice to contractors, and all concerned, that from
and after the 1st day of January. 1654, but one
draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will
be payed, or filed for payment, in this office. This
draft should stale upon its face, that it is the only
one for the quarter and the route (both to be speci
fied) on which it is drawn: xind the signature there
to should be attested by the postmaster at the place
where it may bt drawn, and one other witness; and
taeJi assignmer.: thereof should be attesttd by tiro
witnesses.

PATENT GAS REGULATOR.-The In
ventor (Dr. Kidder) of this economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks of the gas
consuming community. The saving effected by
the use ol it will I>e found fully 25 per cent, in ev
ery person's iras bill. It can be so adjusted as to
supply the pas at any desired pressure les? than
that of the street, and when once adjusted, the
Regulator will continue to supply the pas at that
pressure uniformly, without requiring further care
or attention, and independent of all the fluctua
tions of the street pressure. An additional advan
tage obtained by this Regulator is a light of a more
agreeable quality, in place of the bluish white
color of the ordinary gas light, occasioned by the
high pressure at which the gas is consumed. As
an evidence of its itractical utility, it is now in op
eration in some of the principal notels and lar^e
stores in New York city, who all l*>ar favorable !
testimony to its value. It has also received the
united commendations of the press.
Hotel proprietor* and storekeepers in the city of J

themselves of the economiser, can obtain all fur- j
ther information by calling on the subscriber, who ,
has fitted one of these Regulators up in his store,

HENRY'a INVIGORATING CORDIAL,
Purely Vegetable in iu composition.?This
invaluable Cordial is extracted from Herbs and
Rrrts, which have been found afte* years of ex
perience, by the most skillful physicians, to be
possessed of qualities the most beneficial in the
diseases for which it is recommended ; and hence,
whilst it is presented to the public as an effica
cious remedy, it is also known to be of that char
acter on which reliance may be placed as to its
safety. In cases of Impotency, Hcemorrhages,
Disordered Sterility, Menstruation, or Suppression
of the Menses, Fluor Albus or Whites, or for
Debility arising from any canse, such as
weakness from sickness, where the patient has
been confined to bed for some time, for females
after confinement, abortion or miscarriage, this
cordial cannot be excelled in its salutary effects ;
or in loss of muscular energy, irritability, physical
prostration, seminal weakness, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, sluggishness, decay ol the pro
creative functions, nervousness, See., where a
tonic medicine is required, it will be found equal
if not superior to any compound ever used.
To Females.-?Henry's Invigorating Cordial is
one of the most invaluable medicines in the many
complaints to which females are subject. It as
sists nature to brace the whole system, check ex
cesses, and creates renewed health and happiness.
Less suffering, disease, and unhappiness among
ladies would exist, were they generally to adopt
the use of this cordial. Ladies who are debilitated
by those obstructions which females are liable to,
are restored by the use of a bottle or two to bloom
and to vigor. <
\ oung Men.?That solitary practice, so fatal to
the existence of man, and jt is the young who are
most apt to become its victims, from an ignorance
of the danger to which they subject themselves,
causes
Nervous Debility, weakness of the system,
and prematura decay. Many of you may now be
suffering, misled as to the cause or source of dis
ease To those, then, who by excess have brought
on themselves premature impotency, involuntary
seminal emissions, weakness and shrivelling of I
the genital organs, nervous affection, or any other
consequences of unrestricted Indulgence of the
sensual passions, occasioning the necessity of re
nouncing the felicities of
Marriage, lessening both mental and bodily ca
pacity, hold! Henry s Invigorating Cordial.a medi
cine that is purely vegetable, will aid nature to re
store those important functions to a healthy state,
and will prove of service to you. It possesses rare
virtues, is a general remover of disease, and
strengthener of the system.
As a Tonic Medicine, it is unsurpassed. We
do not place this cordial on a footing with quack
medicines, and, as is customary, append a long
list of recommendations, certificates, tec., begin
ning with " Hear what the Preacher says," and
such like; it i* not necessary, for "'Henry's Invig
orating Cordial only nerds a trial to prove that
it wiii accomplish all we say.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
NORTH CAROLINA STATESMAN.
THE undersigned propose, on the first day of
January next, at Raleigh, North Carolina, to
begin the publication of the North Carolina Statej
man, a semi-weekly and weekly paper, devoted
to politics, news, and miscellaneous subjects, and
respectfully solicit for it a share of the patronage
of the democratic party, their friends, and the
public.
Invited by many leading persons of the State
rights republican party to propagate and defend
principles which we have always held, and regard
as the only basis of prosperity in our form of gov
ernment, and inspired with a sincere desire to
serve that party and advance its interests, we pro
pose to issue a paper at the seat of the State gov
ernment. In the field of editorial enterprise, there
is ample room for those who are now holding po
sition, as well as for others, who choose to enter
into fair competition. The propagation of the
principles of our party is a duty at once import
ant, and to us peculiarly agreeable. The attrac
tions of the editorial profession and its hohorable
toils, together with a desire to extend its influence,
has had much weight in the decision which we
have made?a profession at once dignified and
elevated, where the highest intellectual gifts may
find ftill employment, and the purest patriotism
malce contribution to the public weal. We are
persuaded that a journal, conducted with fairness
and discretion?uninfluenced by selfishness and
devoted to principle, may secure sufficient patron
age, without interfering with the claims or rights
of any now prosecuting the same great work.
Although mainly devoted to the discussion of
such political questions, as they arise, which affect
the welfare of North Carolina, whether relating to
the federal or State governments, or such local in
terests as may be of importance, it is nevertheless
intended to make the Statesman a medium of ge
neral intelligence. Accordingly, the state of the
markets in tne principal citics, to which eur com
merce goes, shall be fully and accurately reported;
nor will the attention of the condactors be less ad
dressed to the subject of internal improvements,
as a means indispensable to the development of
the mineral and agricultural resources of the Stnte.
These interests, of primary importance, shall al
ways command their fullest attention. To this
they propose to add carefully selected and original
literary matter. Being strictly conservative, they
propose to avail themselves of all the lights of ex
perience, in that progress, which promises the ad
vancement of the interests of North Carolina.
The general objects of the proposed paper being
thus clearly indicated, it may not be amiss briefly
to state the particular views which are to be sus
tained by it as a political journal.
1st. Our purpose beingto publish a paper purely de
mocratic, according to the straightest requirements
of that party, we shall advocate strict party organi
zation in its fullest and most comprehensive sense;
an organization which originates in the popular
will, expressed by the people in their primary as
semblies, and which has been so successfully in
troduced among the democracy of many of the
ether States, by which the rank and file of the
party are, in fact, those who indicate its decisions,
and, being all brought into action, express their
will imperatively; thus, by open and fair dealing,
commanding respect and obedience; an organiza
tion of the people, and not of intriguers; restoring
power to those who, by sufferance, have tolerated
its temporary usurpation.
2d. The democratic party shall always find in us
advocates of their right to select their standard
bearers, aud to command acquiescence in decisions
made by conventions fairly elected in their primary
meetings. Standing upon the good old State
ri^its platform of '9S, we shall oppose government
corporations created by Congress for the purpose
of internal improvement, the regulation of finance,
or any other measure inconsistent with the rights
of the States.
3d. Believing that the platform adopted by the
late Baltimore convention contains th^democratic
creed, they expect cordially to sustain the present
administration, trusting that the policy adopted by
those who compose it will be regulated by the
cardinal doctrines of the American democracy.
4th. They will advocate all such measures of in
ternal improvement as promise by judicious prose
cution to promote the interests of the people and
diffuse the benefits of a system already enjoyed bv
portion* of the State.
5th. The deposition of the public lands being a
question of the most absorbing interest, we be
lieve it should be at once met and settled. The
unjust and unequal legislation of Congress, in re
lation to those lands, and the large and frequent
appropriations made to the new States, indicate a
final departure, from the old and wise policy of ap
propriating the proceeds of their sales to the pay
ment of the public debt, and the expenses of the
government. It has for some time censcd to be
either a subject of hope or expectation that there
will ever be a return to a policy which had so
much to recommend it. Believing that this sys
tem of squandering and prodigality is not only to
continue but to grow worse, we shall pretest
against it, and assert the right of the old States to
their equitable share of the lands which remain.
The power "to dispose of the public lands being
explicitly declared in the Constitution, the exer
cise of that power is a question of policy, both as
to the time and tbe mode.'' Believing, as we do.
that it has become the settled policy of Congress
to squander the public lands, we adopt the patri
otic language of Mr. Dobbin, and say that "all
of North Carolina's sons, both whigs and demo
crats, should protest, and demand North Caro
lina's share of the public domain."
6th. Approving of the sentiments of the inaugu
ral of the President, we shall oppose the acquisi
tion of Cuba or any other foreign territory, unless
such acquisition be in accordance with existing
treaties, and entirely consistent with the national
honor.

THE NEW YORK MUSICAL review
aud Choral Advocate?Is the cheapest and
best Musical Paper in the world. This journal,
(which has heretofore been published monthly,)
commences its fifth year in January next, aiid
thenceforwarded it will be published every two
weeks?on every other Thursday; thereby giving
more than twice as much matter without any in
crease in price. Each number contains sixteen
quarto pages, lour of which are new music, con
sisting of glees, hymn tunes, chants, anthems, dedi
cation and holyday pieces, and, in short, every
variety of music adapted to purposes of religious
worship, to public occasions and to the home cir
cle ; all of which will be of a practical character,
and such as can be sung by persons of ordinary
musical attainments. In the editorial department
ot the Review are engaged, (in addition to Mr.
Cady, the former editor,) gentlemen of the highest
talent and ripest musical experience, among whom
are, George F. Root, Win. B. Bradbury, Thomas
Hastings, and Lowell Mason ; and its circle of cor
respondence, home and foreign, is complete. The
jRerwwwill also be a regular medium for the an
nouncement of new musical publications by all the
leading publishing houses in the Uni#n. The sub
scription list of this paper is now larger than that
of any similar journal in the world, and the new
arrangements, rendering it the cheapest as well as
(it is hoped) the most valuable paper ever pub
lished, must largely increase its already unparal
elled circulation.
Terms: One dollar per annum, or six copies far
Jive dollars, always in advance.
JpSF The music alone in a volume would cost
over five dollars in the usual form. Besides this
there will bean immense amount of musical news,
essays, criticisms, instructions. &c., &c., all fur
only one dollar! Everyone feeling a particle ol
interest in the cause ofmusic will surely subscribe.

HEGULATIOXS CONCERNING HACKS
AND HACKMEN.
How to Know who titk Hackman is.?All hacks
arc required to be licensed, and to have th? num
ber of their licenses tobs painted in black figures
of not less than two inches in depth, on the front
nnd side of each lamp attached to such carriage ;
or, if there be no lamps, the numbers shall be con
spicuously painted on each side of the driver's
box.
In case any stranger or other person feels him
self aggrieved by any hack-driver, let him obtain
the number of the hack. How to reach him with
the law is hereafter pointed out.
Rates of Fare Allowed by Law.?For each
passenger for any distance not over one mile and
a half 25 cents.
Over one and a half miles, and not over
threw miles 50 "
When detained on route over five min
utes, driver to be allowed, in addi
tion, for each quarter of an hour de
ned 12J ?
The above are the rates allowed between day
break nnd S o'clock P. M. After 8 P. M. the rates
of fare allowed are as follows:
For each passenger for not over one
mile and n half. % 37$ cents.
For one and a half miles, and not over
three miles. 75 "
For detentions, for each quarter of an
hour lSj "
Rights of Persons Hiring Hacks.?When
more than two persons are in a hack the driver is
not permitted to take up another passenger with
out the consent of persons already in his hack.
When any number of persons employ a hack
t)ie driver is not allowed to take up any other pas
senger, provided the occupant will pay him the
fare of three persons.
llackmen are allowed to receive a greater com
pensation than is fixed by law if it be voluntarily
offered by the passenger; but if he receive the
same without informing the passenger that it is
greater than his legal fare, he is guilty of having
dem.-fhded the illegal fare.
In Cases of Refusal by Hackmento takk Pas
sengers.?Hackmen arc required by law to carry
all passengers renderingthem the l?gal fare, unless
previously engaged for the time necessary to trans
port passenger* offering him the fare, under a
penalty of live dollars.
When a hackman shall refuse to take passen
gers, on the plea of a previous engagement, he is
required to give the name and residence of the
person by whom he is so engaged, under a penalty
of iive dollar*.
If it should appear that the plea of a previous
engagement was a false one, or that the informa
tion of the name and resideuce of the person given
by the hackman was false, then the hackman
incurs a penalty of five dollars.
Penalty for Demanding Illegal Fare.?The
penalty for demanding a higher rate of fare for the
transportation of passengers, is five| dollars for
each offence ; and the person paying the illegal
fare may recover back the amount over and above
the sum allowed by law.
Where illegal fare is demanded or received of a
stranger, or any person who shall not at the time
have resided twelve months in the city, the pen
alty for so doing is double, or ten dollars .lor each
offence.
Sleighs.?The ratcsof fare and all the other con
ditions, terms, and penalties, prescribed by law for
the regulation of hackney carriages, apply to all
sleighs running for hire within the city of Wash
ington.
Drivers.?No person under sixteen years of age
is allowed by law to drive any hack, cab, or sleigh
for hire in this city, under a penalty of five dollars.
How to Vindicate the Law.?Strangers and
others arriving in the city by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, who shall apply to a hackman for
the use of his vehicle and be refused, or v*ho shall
be asked and required to pay over and above the
legal rates of fare, will observe the number on the
hack, and immediately inform the police officer
whose duty it is to be in attendance at the depot.
That officer will protect the passenger from impo
sition, secure him a hack, and prosecute the of
fending hackman.
Any refusal or neglect by the police officer at the
depot to execute the law in this respect he knows
will be followed promptly by his dismissal.
Strangers reaching the depot from steamboats
or other places from whom illegal fare is demanded
will apply to the police officer in attendance, whose
duty it is to ascertain whether the fare demanded
be illegal, and if so, to prosecute the offending
hackman.

GAZETTEER OF THE UNITED STATES
WILL POSITIVELY BE PUBLISHED
in December, Lippincott, Grambo dt Go's
new and complete Gazetteer of the United States.
Edited by T. Baldwin and J. Thomas, M. D.
With a new and superb map of the United States,
engraved on steel.
The publishers take pleasure in anhouncing the
completion of this, the most elaborate, compre
hensive, and perfect Gazetteer of the United
States that has ever issued from the press. In its
preparation no considerations of expense or labor
nave been allowed to interfere with a work de
signed to be as perfect as possible in every de
partment, and in all of its detail. Nor have the
successivo issues of other Gazetteers, hurried
through the press to claim the market, tempted
the publishers to offer their book before all the
ample census (of 1850) and other material in the
hands of the editors were fully digested ond^^u
rately arranged.
When the Gazetteer was first announced't>00
f>ages, or at the most 900, were designed as the
imit of the book. But so vast was the amount of
matter, accumulated through the personal labors
of the editors and their assistants, as well as
through the active efforts of several thousand cor
respondents in all narts of the United States, the
work has swelled to near 1,300 pages. The
amount of new matter which it cohtains, all of a
recent character, is very large, and in many in
stances embracing statistics and populations to
1853. This gives it 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 Gazet
teer of the United States yet published.
As above stated, the work is now ready, and
will be published in December, 1853. Price to
subscribers, 83 50; to non-subscribors, $4.
N. B. Those having subscribers for the work
will please forward their orders by the 1st of De
cember, to
