of munitions of war, or whatever may be needed of the maintenance of
the authority of the Government. |

copper and sheet iron shops, brass and iron foundry, with power, and
an ample stock of tools, in each department, for the employment of one
thousand men. |

officers of the Engineer Department of the Army, and their orders
receive immediate attention. |
