WASHINGTON, November 16 1866.
Some weeks ago the TRIBUNE published
letter showing how Illinois stood in the rec
ords Of the War Department. That letter
was made up Of advanced sheets OF the final
report Of the Provost Marshal General. This
report has Just been made public. and shall
now show briefly the war record made by
IOWA, WISCONSIN AND NISTEsorA-
The aggregate number Of men called for
by the President during the war wAs
2 942 ,T48. The number enlisted into service
was 9, ,G9o, ,401.
0fthis yaat number Of men, Iowa, with
Presidential vote In 1850 OF about 1ss, 800.
furnished so, GOO, belrK 8, $50 more than her
full assigned quota Wisconsin, with a vote
in 1s0o Of about i e 2do, furnished 93 ,97e, be-
Ing II. los less than her full assigned quota
and Minnesots, with vote in 1850 OF about
81, ,7S0, furnished n ,93., being 1874 less than
her full assigned quota.
RECORD OF IOWA.
Hardly any State in the Union presents a
| better record than Iown. It will be OBJ
served that she furnished 8, 150 more men
/
added that nearly all her troops were three
| years men, too. The alacEity with which
she met the calls nnd orders Of the President
Is shown in tie fact that under the cali Of
July, 1869, when her quota was II, $40, she
put - ass men Into the dcld. She also fur
nlshed more than her quota on NIL the calls
OF 1861. Wisconsin and Minnesota met all
the earlier acquisitions of the Government
with promptltude, and during 1861 and 1859
each State put several thousand more men
into the field than were called for.
