The Military Strength Of the Na.

The census returns enable US to form
an estimate Of the annual increase oi
the military strength of the nation by
the number OF males reaching tie ages
Of Is years.-The number for 1861 was
for both the North and the South, 227,
500. From this must be deducted l2s,
600; the number Of persons who passed
over As years Of age, and also the nat
ural deaths in the class subject to mil
itary duty. estimated at $1,000, which
leaves an annual increase Of 81. geo
Estimating that the rebel States have Of
this last number $4,000. which is Ger.
tainly liberal estimate, the loyal States
added to their fighting population &C,
900. Tue immigration from foreign
countries now comes entirely to the
North, and must be included. From
this source the loyal States increased
their male population in 1861, $500,
which Was doubled in 1868. Making a
total increase for 1861 Of oS, 400 IN the
loyal States.

Iowa to Furnish Ten Regiments

Washington, April 25.
10 the People Of losoo:
The President has agreed to accept
from the Northwestern States the SER
vice Of one hundred thousand volun-
teers for period Of one hundred days
from the time Of their mastering into
the service, for the purpose Of enabling
the veteran troops to be pushed forward
and achieve decisive results over the
enemy in the approaching campaign.
With this augmentation to the army,
it is confidently believed that the rebel
lion can be substantially crushed during
the present season. I have promised
the President ten regiments Of this new
force, and earnestly call upon the patri-
otic people Of Iowa to aid me by their
active cooperation in redeening this
promise.
We can thus render more essential
service IN saving our glorious Union
and rescue our land from the horrors
Of fratricidal war. The period Of ser
vice will be short and trust glorious
in bringing with it The restoration OF
peace. Those who heretofore have
been unable to participate in tho stir.
ring scenes Of this war may now do so
honorably and with but little inconven-
ience to themselves-fresh laurels to be
won and additional honor achieved Tor
our State.
Let us go to work in earnest in every
county. Not moment should be los,
