The items concerning the men enlisted come from the reports of the State .\djutant-General, in the form of the original muster-rolls of all the regiments that left the State. Of recruits that joined, after first muster, it was impossible to obtain a full and authentic list ; therefore I have not attempted a partial one. The information as to bounty bonds is obtained from the records. The particulars as to relief societies are credited as follows : Port Chester, Mr. John E. Marshall, treasurer, who kindly loaned me his book of accounts; Ossining, Mrs. Catharine E. Van Cortlandt, secretary and treasurer of the society, who sent nie the final report of its work, having bunted up the same with much trouble ; Cortlandt, Mr. Andrew R. Slartin, from Mr. Coffin S. Brown. I have further to acknowledge use of the files of the Eastern Statf Jountal, from Mr. Hendrickson, the present proprietor ; of the Yoiikers Gazette, in the year 1864, from the gentlemen in charge of the office. The sources of other information are mentioned in the body of the chapter. A history of the county during the war might easily be expanded into a volume of a hundred pages or more. -- F. Whitt.\ker.

The distribution of parties within its limits was similar to that in the city of New York, and the issue between the supporters of opposite views of the government was strongly marked.
