The State had in 1859 9,351,921 acres of arable or plongh lands, 3,754,024 acres of meadow or pasture lands, and 12,210.154 acres of uncultivated or wood lands, making in all 25,316,099 acres of taxable lands. The average yield of wheat per acre is 12.5 bushels; of corn, 34.1 bushels; of oats. 30 bushels; cf rye. 11.5 bushels; of barley, 21.6 bushels; of buckwheat, 11.1 bushels; the average crop of hay, 1.32 tons per acre. The assessors' returns of live stock for 1862 exhibit a decided increase on 1860. They were-horses, 738,427; value, $36,211,355; mules, 11,155; value, $601,479; cattle, 1,837,938; value, $19,734,330; sheep, 3,943,436; value, $6,681,407; swine, 2,595 981; value, $7,235,277: total of live stock, 9.126 937 ;

Agriculture.-Great and increasing attention is | ghum syrup, 2,500,000 gallons (in 1861, 3,000,000 paid throughout the State to agriculture. The gallons, worth over $1,000,000). State Board of Agriculture, of which Mr. John H. | Klippart is the able and efficient Secretary, has a suite of rooms and library and museum at Columbus. It holds an anuual fair, and publishes an annual report in a large octavo volume, edited by its secretary. The receipts of the fair of September, 1862, were $17,150, and its expenditures, $15,275. From the State Report on Agriculture for the year 1860 (the last which has reached us), we cull the following aggregates relative to the agricultural statistics of the State for 1860, one year later than the United States census. Number of horses, 709,713; value, $37.660,141; number of cattle, 1,779,061; value, $20,385,966; number of mules, &c., 7624; value, $536,250; number of sheep, 3,442.856; value, $5,879,357; number of hogs, 1,918,225: value, $5,121,286. Total value of live stock, $69,583,000. Number of acres of wheat sown, 1,844.677; number of bushels produced, 23,640,356; acres of rye sown, 94,934; bushels produced, 1,078,764; acres of corn planted, 2,397,639; bushels produced, 91,588,704; acres of buckwheat sown, 66,827; bushels produced, 763,930; acres of barley sown. 71,564; bushels produced, 1,548,477; acres of oats sown, 830.104; bushels produced, 25,127,724 acres of meadow, 1,538,562: tons of hay produced. 2,027,160; acres of potatoes planted, 96,254; bushels produced, 9,365,386; pounds of butter produced, 38,440,498; pounds of cheese, 24,816,220; bushels of coal mined, 27,829,218; sor

value, $70,463,868, against 8,221,481 in 1860, with a value of $69,583,000.

Other Statistics of the State.-From the reports of the Commissioner of Statistics for 1860 and 1861, we gather the following items. The manufacturing establishments of the State în 1860 were 10,864 in number, employing somewhat more than 81,000 operatives, and producing goods to the annual value of $122,367,200. Of these, the most important were the manufacture of clothing, employing in 1860 13,000 hands, and producing

which had been supplied to the State from the United States arsenals were sold, lost, or spoiled by rust. Thirteen regiments were called for, of which two were to be sent on at once. They were sent without uniform, arms, or equipments, and 30,000 men volunteered at once; of these, so soon as they could be organized, armed, and equipped, the other eleven regiments were sent forward; ten regiments were retained in the service of the State as a defence against rebel invasion, and 4000 more organized into companies were held in reserve to be drilled and brought into service if occasion should require. Through mismanagement on the part of the War Department. there was much difficulty in regard to the payment of the three-months troops, and a prejudice against enlistment was thus engendered, which for a time, under the first call for 500,000 men, made the raising of the requisite number a matter of con

$16,000,000 value of goods, and which, in furnishing | during the long years of peace, and the arms supplies to the Western army, &c., has greatly increased since that time; the distillation of grain and manufacture of liquors, which in 1858 produced 39,029,594 gallons, or 780,591 barrels of whiskey, consuming 11,714,985 bushels of grain, which, though it has not probably increased since that time, has not greatly diminished; the manufacture of animal fats (lard oil, candles, and soap), the products of which, in round numbers, are not far from $7,000,000; products of animal meats, about $12,000,000; manufactures of iron, $20,000,000; manufactures of wood, furniture, agricultural machinery, &c., $5,000,000; leather, wool, and cotton, $6,000,000; manufactures of grain, flour, and meal, $10,000,000; carriages, $2,800,000; houses and other buildings, $10,000,000. The mining products of the State are principally iron, coal, and salt. Of these, Mr. Mansfield estimates from the returns the value of the pig iron smelted in 1860 at 105,500 tons, employing 5000 hands, and yield-siderable difficulty. The ten regiments of reserves, ing an annual value of $3,171,000; the coal he estimates (much beyond the assessors' returns, as will be noticed) at 50,000,000 bushels, employing 7000 hands, and having an annual value of $5,000.000; and the salt at 2,000,000 bushels, worth $500,000. The exports of produce from the State in 1860, Mr. Mansfield considers to be nearly as follows: flour, barrels, 2,446,931; wheat, bushels, 7,398,958; corn, bushels, 5,622,802; other grain, bushels, 293,425; whiskey, barrels, 475,778; beef barrels, 52,613; cattle, number 290,187; hogs, number, 1,117,161; wool, pounds, 4,397,081; butter and cheese, pounds, 9,410,420.

and the 4000 who had been held in companies, were called for in the summer of 1861, and new regiments were organized, both under State authority and by license given to individuals by the War Department. On the 1st of January, 1862, Adjutant-General Buckingham reported that the following troops had been raised: infantry, 67,546; cavalry, 7270; artillery, 3028; total for three-years service, 77,844 men. Besides these, the State had furnished 22,000 three-months infantry, 180 three-months cavalry, and 200 three-months artillery, making the entire number enlisted under State authority to that date 100,224. Since that natural-time, 74,514 men have been raised and sent into the field, under the calls of July and August, 1862, of whom only about 2400 were drafted; making the whole number furnished by the State since the commencement of the war 174,738 men. This is aside from over 10,000 enlisted in the regi ments of other States; and in their personnel and the completeness of their drill and equipment the Ohio troops have been second to none in the field.

Naturalizations.-The whole number ized from July, 1860, to July, 1861, was 11,233, of whom 5949 were Germans, 2108 Irish, and the remainder English, Welsh, Scotch, French, &c.

The Contributions of Ohio to the Volunteer Army. -At the call of the President for troops on the 15th of April, 1861, to suppress the rebellion, Ohio was entirely unprepared. Her military organization, never very effective, had become valueless
