Census Statistics.-New York has not published the statistics of the census of 1860 relative to the State; and the preliminary report of the Census Bureau gives but few statistics of the State beyond those inserted in our tables. We glean a few of the most important. The State is 17th in area, 1st in actual population, 4th in density of population, 20th in mean ratio, and 5th in absolute increase of population during the last decade. In most departments of manufacturing · industry it stands first, as it does greatly in the aggregate of its manufactured products; yet Pennsylvania surpasses it in the production of pig. bar, and rolled iron, and woollen goods; Massachusetts in cotton and woollen goods, and boots and shoes; and Connecticut in sewing-machines and India-rubber goods. In the cash value of its farming-land it is far before any other State, its farms having a cash value of $803.343,593, or $40 per acre for its improved and unimproved lands. In the number of its horses Ohio and Illinois surpass it; but the aggregate value of its live stock is greater by 20 millions of dollars than that of any other State. As a wheat-growing State it stands seventh on the list, while Iowa and Michigan will soon, if they do not already, surpass it. In maize it occupies the fifteenth rank, in oats the first, in rye the second; in wool it is second, Ohio being first; it surpasses all the other States in its potato crop, as also in its market-garden products, butter, cheese, and hay, hops, flax, maplesugar, beeswax and honey, and slaughtered animals. There is a slight excess of females in the population (11,022 whites, 2649 colored), though less than in the New England States. One-third of the whole population of the State is comprised in the counties forming the New York Metropolitan District.

Scientific Explorations.-The State has a valuable and instructive Museum of Natural History and Agriculture at Albany, with extensive geological, mineralogical, botanical, and zoological collections, illustrating very thoroughly the natural history of the State, and furnishing means for comparison with other States and countries. The greater part of this collection was made by the corps of naturalists, who made the Natural History Survey of the State. The agricultural rooms have a large collection of seeds, preserved and dried plants, woods, and agricultural implements. Both collections are free to the public. The State also employs an entomologist to investigate and report upon insects injurious to vegetation, and makes occasional grants to the Board of Regents for specific scientific investiga- MILITARY AFFAIRS.-The Contribution of New tions.

regiments followed. In all, 23 regiments of three- | Artillery-
months men went from the State. Thirty-eight
regiments were raised on the first call of the Go-
vernor for two years; and subsequently the num-
ber was increased to about 120 regiments. On the
last two calls of the President for 300,000 men for
three years and 300,000 for nine months, the Go-
vernor, after conference with the other State offi-
cers, caused a bounty of $50 per head to be paid
to volunteers. On this account about $3,650,000
was paid by the Comptroller prior to Oct. 1, 1862,
and other disbursements by the State incident to
transportation, care, and supply for sick and
wounded, &c. &c., will swell the entire amount
of State expenditure for war purposes to Nov.
1862, above $8,000,000. In addition to this, muni-
cipalities, counties, towns, and villages have paid
large sums for bounties, for the support of families
of volunteers, &c., amounting in the aggregate to
a sum larger than that paid from the State trea-
sury, making the public appropriation for the
war in the State not much, if at all, below $17,-
000,000. The following table, prepared expressly
for this work at the office of the State Adjutant-
General, Albany, gives the particulars of the vo-
lunteer force to November 1, 1862: since that time
other regiments have been raised, and the entire
number sent to the field to Jan. 1, 1863 was
222,836, and a considerable number of regiments
were still in the State awaiting marching-orders.

Militia Law-The Legislature of 1862 enacted a militia law intended to organize and enroll for State and national defence the entire force of able-bodied citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 years.

All able-bodied male citizens between these ages are to be enrolled, and the law divides them into two classes, those between 18 and 30, and those between 30 and 45, and provides for the organization of 128 regiments of militia, whose minimum number per regiment shall be 400 men, to be called the National Guard, and to constitute the uniformed militia of the State, and be instructed and trained to military service. If a sufficient number do not volunteer to fill these regiments up to the minimum (certain privileges being granted to those who volunteer), the deficiency is to be made up by drafting from the first or younger class of the enrolled citizens. All those who are enrolled, but not members of the National Guard, must appear, unless exempted, once a year for inspection, or pay a fine of one dollar. The whole number between the ages of 18 and 45, enrolled in September 1862, as liable to military duty, was 764,603; and 139,198 9,642 were declared exempt from various causes.
