of much importance has been
deemed nect-s.trv, sive that a
gainst the predatory tribes of In

Missouri, who have for a time
been troublesome to some por
tions of fiur citizen. The hare
appearance of a small military
ioree among ihem was sufficient to
bring them to 'terms without the
effusion of blood. By the pru

The var ious du t ies of the En

It is considered neces-ary in ol

it is i ecoinniended to construct

also recommended to errect anoth

the Navycoiisits of 7,o5a persons.
The pay of Naval Oliicers on
Foreign stations, where courtesy,
custom, and the national honor
require the inierchaime of civilities
; iih other nations, is considered
too small. It is also considered
necessary to increase the salaries
of some of the subordinate ol'icers,
and servants of the Departments.
The separation of the Marine
Barracks, from the Navy ards
proper, is recommended as a
means of preventing the conflicts

between Seamen and Marines,

1,320 80 cents are yet due.
This fund is also amply sufficient
for its purposes.
The Navy Hospital Fund has a
credit of 35,550 01, with an in
crease of 16,000 per annum;
while the expenditures are not
more than 13,000. The invest

Of the appropriation for the
suppression of the Slave Trade,
there still remains a balance of
14,213 02 cents making an in

The purchase of a Lithographic

The Survey of the Coast has
been diligently prosecuted during

tinued, for which an appropria

sary. The care and economy observed

Alabama- The resolutions cal
ling on Senator Moore to resign
his seat in the U. S. Senate, for
having misrepresented his constit
uents, and betrayed his trust, have
passed both booses of the Legisla-j
lure ot that State; in the House,
by a vote of 19 to 0; more than
two thirds of the Legislature hav
ing thus invited him to vacate his
seat. Will he, can he with decen
cy, hold on to the situation in de
spite of his constituents? When
John Quincy Adams was once
out-voted for the U.S. Senate, "he
immediately (so says the Rich
mond Fnquirer,) threw up his
commission, upon the ground that
as be diil not preserve the confi
dence of the Legislature, he w ould
not retain his seat." This was in
accordance w ith republican doc
trine. And will Mr. Moore show
himself less a Republican than
John Quincy Adams? Will he
meanly continue his grasp on that
entrusted to him by the people of
-Mahama, which they now call on
him to give? Hal. Standard.
