Explanation:

Poe makes the impact of time passing rapidly by utilizing short sentences that accelerate the pace of the story.

Many things occur in this passage, however a lot of what happens is canvassed in single brief sentences.   For example:

I walked the cellar from end to end.

These eight words propose that the storyteller strolled forward and backward a few times. He would not have been remaining toward one side of the basement, in any case however would have strolled to one end, at that point turned and strolled to the opposite end, and, since there was nothing to keep him at that finish of the basement, he would have needed to turn and walk back at least as far as where he had originally been standing.
