and which humhy think ought 10 have been

sfaniially this : thai Tho apparent balances IN

IN his SAID letter. 10 vii The heads of " PtoVi-
/ SONS" aud = Gradual improvement were not
real ones but had been made by the Depart
menis having sent me money under those
heads when bad drawn for under others, and
disbnrsed accord. Ugly, by ihr express direction
Of the Depatfm4n, Itself To explain this TO
those wbo are not acquainted whh the SUBJECT
/ il Is only necessary 10 observe, (what rnusl be
known In the secretary by thus lime, II u was
mol when wrole) fha, the money furnished by
the Government 10 the Navy h apafllnrn LOT
the service of the Navy. is appropriated by law
/ To be laid out under and charged OF The BACKS
Of The Treasury 10 particular heads, such as
" Pay" Provisions -" Navy Yard -" Grad
ual Improvement" Contingencies" &c, and
the accounts of the Navy Agents must, Of
course, be kept IN corresponding manner.
As il ellen happens, however, that money is
wanting for particular branch of the service
when there IS no money IN the Treasury under
that head, although there IS more than is want
ing under some Other the practice of the Depart
meni, in such cases, has been to borrow the mo.
nry required from any head that is redundant

sum so obtained is charged 10 the Navy Agent
on the books Of the Treasury, and of course
credited on bis own books, under the head
from which IL IS drawn. though II is an tact
10 be dishursrd under auutiirr. For example,
the NORTH Carolina arrives III port, and the
Captain calls on the for 500 OUO 10 paw of his
men, md haYiag no money in hand nnder the
hrad of" Pay" make reqnisiton upon the
Department tor the sum. Bat he Deparl
nent also has no money III the Treasury
under thai Lead, but has enough aud more
than ~ waning under The head of " Provi.
Sons y Now what is 10 be done Why the
department draws the money from The IreAsu-
~ under the head 81 " Prosi .iors, aud lrsns.
Ins II 10 me charged 10 my ctconnt under that
head, IN be credited OF course III my account
under Thai same head, bui yet Ia be dishurSed
for The service IN hand that, Is under the head
