New York and the War.

The Superintendent of the United States
Census, at the request of some of the New
York Congressman, has prepared state
ment showing that the effective arm-bear-
ing population of New York is 766,344
men, or equal to the combined military
strength OF Alabama, Arkansas, Florid.'
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and
South Carolina and Tennessee ; and that
her quota of an army of halt a million men
would be 100000.
Ths New York Evening Post remarks,
thereupon, that there are 1880 enlisted
men at the different rendezvous in the State,
or enough to fill up the second requisition
for $4,000 men, issued some time since and
that by the lst of January next it would
undoubtedly be possible to raise a sufficient
number to make, with those in the field, the
total number OF. the State, one hundred
thousand.
