When it is remembered that the population of Michigan in 1864 was 805,379, and that 90,747 able-bodied men took up arms in defence of the Union, the State may well be proud of its record on the score of sincere patriotism.

The following table shows the casualties by wounds and disease in Michigan organizations during the war:

It has been found impracticable to obtain a statement of the casualties occurring in all the Michigan companies and among the men serving during the war with troops of other States, hence they are not included in the above table.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS.

Thus far has been given a brief narrative of the most momentous period in our State history, embracing the home work of Michigan in the war, and, although it should be considered small and insignificant when compared with the extent and value of the work accomplished by her troops in the field, and the sacrifice of life there made by them, it was still one of stupendous proportions. Aside from the incessant labor of the people in raising troops, there was much perplexing anxiety, many petty annoyances, great self-sacrifice, and much personal suffering, together with enormous expenditures of money by the State, counties, and townships, and also by individuals-all combined, rendering the burdens and cares of the people at times so heavy as to be almost unbearable. Yet the astonishing statements revealed below, covering over sixteen millions of dollars, expended by the people of Michigan for war purposes, although couched in silent figures, speak eloquently and earnestly of great sacrifice and unbounded patriotism.

During the war the State Legislature passed laws authorizing the payment of State bounties to soldiers, as follows:

Men enlisting from March 6, 1863, to November 10, 1863, (both inclusive,) in any Michigan regiment, company, or battery, except the 10th and 11th cavalry, 13th and 14th batteries, and 1st colored infantry, entitled to $50 State bounty. Men re-enlisting in their own regiments, (after service of two years,) from Novmber 11, 1863, to February 4, 1864, (both inclusive,) entitled, to $50 State bounty. Men enlisting or re-enlisting from February 5, 1864, to May 14, 1864, (both inclusive,) in any regiment, company, or battery, if applied on 200,000 call, and properly credited to the sub-district in which they resided at time of enlistment, entitled to $100 State bounty. Men enlisting from February 4, 1865, to April 14, 1865, (both inclusive,) properly credited to sub-districts, entitled to $150 State bounty.

In accordance with these laws, the Quartermaster-General of the State paid in 1863, $134,250; 1864, 867,959; 1865, $383,076; 1866, $438,500; 1867, $11,700; 1868, $18,623; 1869, $28,850; 1870, $26,400, up to and including 31st July; amounting in the aggregate to $1,909,408, leaving still a considerable amount unapplied for.

He also disbursed $60,000 as premiums for the procuration of recruits. Aside from these amounts, this department expended for war purposes $815,000-making the aggregate disbursements up to July 31, 1870, $2,784,408.
