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-
