Excerpt from American State Papers, Vol. 4: Documents, Legislative and Executive, of the Congress of the United States, From the Second Session of the Twentieth to the First Session of the Twenty-Second Congress, Inclusive, Commencing December 2, 1828, and Ending March 8, 1832; Military Affairs

The numerous fortifications completed and completing along our maritime frontier, in the progressive. Execution of our great system of national defence, have imposed on the department the necessity of withdrawing also from the school of artillery practice at Fortress Monroe nearly one-half of its force, for the purpose of assisting in the completion of the unfinished works, and of garrisoning and preserving those which are completed. The school of practice is not, however, thereby broken up, but may still proceed with the same efficiency and success proportionate to its numbers, as heretofore. As little more has been taught at the two schools than the manuals of the artillery and infantry, the same system of instruction may be continued, and with nearly the same advantage, at every post where a regiment or battalion is stationed, and where a competent instructor will always be found.
