They receive two dollars a day, and five cents a mile for coming from and returning to their respective towns, when mustered for drill and camp duty, and are exempt from the commutation and capitation tax and from jury duty; and if belonging to a cavalry corps, two dollars per day is allowed for horse hire, and the horse and uniform are exempted from attachment for debt.

The expenditure of the State for war purposes to April 1, 1862, was $1,866,097 52, and was classified as follows: advances to the QuartermasterGeneral's department, $1,169,778 08; to the Paymaster's department, $403,330 83; to the Commissary-General's department, $65,421 11; to town authorities for bounty to families of volunteers, $110,099 17; advances to town authorities for outfits to volunteers, $40,635 66; advances for purchases of arms imported, $76,832 67. Nearly two-thirds of this would eventually be refunded by the General Government, which had already given a certificate of indebtedness bearing interest for $606,000 in part payment. The expenditure since April, 1862, in the fitting out of the new regiments and the payment of bounties, have been very heavy, but cannot be definitely ascertained.

The Militia Law.-A militia law intended to provide for the organization and equipment of an efficient militia force was passed at the May session of the Legislature, 1861, but, proving defective in many particulars, it was materially modified in the session of 1862, and now provides for the enrolment of all able-bodied men in the State between the ages of 18 and 45, except the usual State and United States exempts, by the selectmen of the towns, to constitute the inactive militia; said inactive militia (except those who are minors) and all able-bodied exempts between 18 and 45 to pay POPULATION OF CONNECTICUT BY COUNTIES, 1850 AND 1860.
