Troops for The Civil War
Raising the Troops
Up to and including the 31st of December, 1864, there had been enlisted in this State, and credited by the Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General since the call of July, the following number of men:
For one year, 6, 016; for two years, 50; for three years, 10, 121, making a total of men absolutely enlisted and credited of 16, 187.
This statement shows that instead of there being a deficiency in this State, under the call of July 18th, to be provided for under the additional call now pending, there was on the 31st of December an actual surplus standing to the credit of the State of 427, counting each man without regard to the term of his enlistment as a unit.
In the calculations, based upon periods of service, made at the office of the Provost' Marshal General, and which entirely accord with those made by the Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General of this State, the proportion of men enlisted for three years entitled the State to a surplus credit on the call of July of 20, 719; one year men to be credited to the present call.
