ses is by making known the advantages
which Missouri possesses and offering
inducements in the way of friendly and

his employment will cease July 81. inst" Such
is the notice that Commodore Upsnur, comnandant

who have been employed i'll the several Navy yards
since June 30 cannot receive any pay for their work
until the Appropriation bill is passed and the allot-
meuts are distributed and all work in progress must
be discontinued until funds are available. This
only be avoided by the passage of JOINT resolution
by Congress to keep the Navy yards opened. and I'M
