In reference to the result of the Draft Of
1864 the following facts are given:
'Under the corrected enrolment ND ia
November !, 1864, the total number sub
ject to draft in this State was "a, 088. OF
these there were drafted under the last call
1884; held to service in person or by
substitute, 3,439; discharged after draft
6,724; failed to report, T. 367"
From these figures it would seem that the
government has received but slight heir
from this State. But the following state
ment shows that if the Draft has not b en- 6
success, the troops have been furnished il
some other way.
TOTAL OF TROOPS FURNISHED.
My last annual report gave the entire
number of troops from this State in the ser.
vice of the General Government, ON the
1st Of November, 1863, as forty one thous
and fifty four al, 054.)
From the returns made to this office bv
the several I. S. mastering officers of the
State, it appears that there have been INNS
tered into the United States service as vol.
unteers from the first of November. 1863. tc
the present date 25,413. These include all
volunteers for one two or three years SER
vice, and re enlisted veterans, all for three
years.
Of principals and substi tutes held to ser
vice (three years. under the draft of 1863,
there are 1862. Held to service Zone year

In concluding his report tie Adiutaut
General pays the following complimentary
but we'll deserved tribute to the brave sol |
diers of the Badger State:
In closing my report for the year. can
but refer your Excellency to the record
which our State presents in review of the
past three and half years. Over seventy
hive thousand OF her sons-within a fraction
OF one tenth OF her entire population brave
aud true men-have responded to the call
Of the General Government-offering their
lives, if such need be, for the maintenance
Of its power and supremacy in the resistance
Of an armed rebellion.
For three and a half years, side by side
hey have ever borne the National colors
md the flag of our own Badger State--upon
he banks Of the Rio Grande, in the forests
If Dacotah, in the mountains of Tennessee,
lpon the fertile plains of Alabama and Geor-
5la, and the now devastated fields of the
,nce venerated ''eld Dominion"
On the march, in the conflict, wherever
hey have been, the State may point to
heir record with true maternal pride, claim
ng them as her sons. Many have fallen
lpon the field of battle, sealing their devo-
ion to their country in their own life's
blood. Others have fingered in hospitals. or
wasted under untold suferings in southern
