November, 1868, as forty-one thousand and
fifty-iour a. ,054)
From the returns made to this office by the
several T. S. mastering officers of the State,
it appears that there have been mustered into
the United st .es service as volunteers from
the lst of Ntfiember, 1868, to the present
one, two or three years. service, and re enlist
ed veterans, all for three years.

OF the 77,42l originally in the United
States service, the State is now represented
by AZ, l63, the loss by death, discharge and
desertion, together with those reported
missing in action, being 35,25S. The
remark OF last year in reference to this
class is also now applicable, namely, that by
far the larger number are of those discharged

out upon expiration of term OF service, while
OF those missing in action mot killed)the most
eventually rejoin their regiments.
QUOTAS AND CREDITS.
II is impossible to give the exact statement
of account at the present date, between the
War Department and the State for troops
furnished, owing 10 the following reasons -
A supplementary draft is yet incomplete in
some districts, and of those where it is now
complete, the muster-in rolls have not vet
reached this Office. From the returns which
have reached me up to this date, the follow
ing table is prepared, giving the quotas I'M
der all calls of the General Government prior
to December 10th, 1864, with the credits due
the State, and showing deficiency Deem
Der 81, 1864, of four thousand four hundred
aud eighty (4,4SO).
1t is believed, however, that the returns,
not yet received at this Office, will reduce
this number nearly if not quite one thousand.
