From (hi! first enrollment to I he memo ruble day on which it wus disliniulfd, when ihu glorious consummation of its object had been obtained, the whole Continental nrmy of (he Revolution numbered 231,0'i9 men Of this number, the Statu of Mu-suchir sells is credited with huving raised 07,007, which is something over 28 per cent, of I he whole nrmy, wh Ut nil the States south of Pennsylvania raised only 64,493 or 8,414 less than Massachusetts alone. Thu mini her contributed by Souih Carolina amount ed lo something less limn 4,000 men. The New Ko-hind Slates lilted out and maintained 1 18,350 men more than hall of the whole Iluvoluiionary Army. During the yenrs 1777, '78, "81, '82, the quotas of Mussiiehuselts ami Virgiuiu were equal in battalions mid men. Y t in those years .Massachusetts raised 22,981 men, I'quipped lor the field, while Virginia, although bound to raise the same number, fell short no less than 9,578, having given Washington only 13,403 men. This 9,578 is a d IT reuce of no small magnitude be- Iween two States, and in those limes would have made u formidable urmy of itsell.
