The expenses of the current wear eanno,
be accurately given bnt so far as is now
known. some OF the more important unavoid-
able disbursements may be approximately
estimated as follows:
The three wears, troops now In service,
from Vermont, Compose ten Regiments OF
Infantry and one Regiment of Ca, airy, which
At the maximum, would number
in all about 1000 men
Two Batteries of Artillery. about
10 men each $50 L"
Three Companies Of Sharp-Shoot-
ers, 30 men each, go
Making in all. 1920 men

uaities OF the service, suppose

number, or $3.50 men. are de-

should they continue in ser
vice for that period will amount
to S125, 90
The rank and file of the five Reg
iments of Militia, recently
raised amounts TO about 400
men. Deduciing one-eigh;h
of this number, for the dimi-
mutton which may result from
casualties of the r,iee, aid
We have Alb men, who, should
the Legislature so decide, will
be entitled to receive each s.
per month from the State,
which, for their allotted period
OF service, or nine months, will
amount to 159,ll9.OO
Ordinary State expenses about 100000
Payment of Loan of 1857 due
