TABLE showing the number of men raised, etc.-CONTINUED.

Showing aggregate numbers in detail, of the credits allowed to each County in the State during the operations of the Enrollment System, together with the number of men enlisting, previously to the adoption of that System, and reported to the Adjutant General's office as residents thereof, and the total, approximately, of the number of troops furnished by the several Counties from the beginning to the close of the War.

The total sum paid into the Treasury Department of the United States by drafted citizens of Michigan as commutation money, was $594,600.00.

The product of soldiers and credits yielded by the several counties, as exhibited in the table immediately foregoing, is in its aggregate, as previously intimated, below the total number known to have been furnished by the State. The report of the Adjutant General's Department for 1864, showed that, according to the records, the actual number of men furnished by Michigan from the beginning of the war to November 1st, 1864, was.... Add the number of men commuting.

And the total credits to that time were...

81,365

1,982

83,347

The number of men credited by enlistment and draft from November 1st, 1864, to the close of the war, as shown by preceding tables, was- 9,382 Making the total credits of the State, from April, 1861, to April, 1865, the entire period of the war, as shown by the records...---- 92,729 Deducting from this aggregate the number of men commuting.. 1,982 There is left a total of numbers actually furnished in men, of 90,747

These figures do not include men enlisted in regiments of other states, and are believed to be substantially correct. There is a discrepancy however between them and the tables of the War Department, as will be seen by the subjoined letter from the Provost Marshal General:

WAR DEPARTMENT,

PROVOST MARSHAL GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Washington, D. C., Sept. 2d, 1865.

His Excellency, H. H. Crapo, Governor of Michigan, Lansing:

SIR:-I have the honor to inform you that the number of men furnished by the State of Michigan, from April 17th, 1861, to April 30th, 1865, is ninety thousand and forty-eight (90,048), without reference to periods of service, which varied from three months to three years.

I have the honor to be, Sir,
Very respectfully,

Your obedient servant,

JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General.

*A singular fact was established regarding the Michigan soldiers of the war, and particularly among the re-enlisted veterans, both by personal observation and the examination of descriptive lists, that a large proportion of those who stood the service best and endured the longest, bore strong marks of the nervo sanguine temperament, having florid complexions, some with red or tawny beards, most of them having brown or light brown hair, and some had red hair, while few

The foregoing table varies from the credit finally given by the War Department, but is entered as it was received, having been compiled by Professor Gould from researches made by one of his employés in the Adjutant General's office of the State.

In connection with the foregoing statement, the following table from a valuable statistical work by Benjamin A. Gould, an eminent statistician, then Actuary to the United States Sanitary Commission, will be found interesting, covering as it does, the nativities of over 2,000,000 of Union soldiers, showing 1,523,267 natives to 494,933 foreign.

had dark complexions, black hair or black beards, clearly showing that a very large number of both officers and men whose endurance enabled them to undertake and accomplish the most arduous service, were of the complexion and temperament referred to. This was so noticeable in one of the Michigan regiments, that the Colonel, when he had a detail to make involving a necessity for great endurance in overcoming hardships, directed that sandy haired men be selected.
