There is a Sanitary Commission belonging to 

 the State, not, however, established by law, 

 to which the contributions have been, in mo- 

 ney, $155.796, and in supplies $313,650. Its 

 aid is devoted to the sick and wounded soldiers 

 of the State. The contributions in the form 

 of bounties and for the aid of soldiers' families 

 in sixty-eight counties of the State was nearly 

 three and a half millions of dollars. 



The debt of the State is about $7,000,000, 

 on which the interest is paid at the rate of 

 five per cent. The interest on the debt was 

 paid by Messrs. Winslow, Lanier & Co. of 

 New York, and the Governor in his message 

 to the Legislature said : " I am glad to be able 

 to say that the credit of the State has been 

 fully preserved; and that her stocks now com- 

 mand a higher price relatively in the market, 

 when compared with the stocks of other States, 

 bearing like interest, than at any former period 

 in her history." The State tax for 1864 was 

 forty cents on each hundred dollars, and a poll- 

 tax of one and one-fourth dollars. These rates 

 were subsequently increased. The average 

 county tax through the State was thirty-eight 

 cents on each hundred dollars, and a poll-tax 

 of forty-nine cents. To these are to be added 

 city or township taxes. 



There are three classes of banks in the 

 State, known as National, Free, and State 

 Banks. The number of National banks in 

 June 1864 was thirty-one, with a capital of 

 $3,450,500, and a circulation of $1,438,700. 

 The system of Free banks is based on the 

 credit of the State, in the same manner as the 

 National banks are based on the credit of the 

 United States. The number of these is eleven, 

 with a capital of $719,935, and a circulation 

 of $1,047,352, for the security of which there 

 is deposited with the State Treasurer State 

 stock to the amount of $1,284,848. The State 

 Bank and branches is a chartered institution. 

 The parent institution transacts no business 

 but regulates the branches. The number of 

 these is twenty, with a capital of $2,775.000. 

 There are, also, private banks of discount and 

 deposit, with a capital of about $2,000,000.

The number of pubh'c schools in the State is 

 8,175, and the number of children between 

 5 and 21 years of age in April, 1864, was 

 546,959. The revenue from the school fund 

 and from a tax of one-tenth of one per cent. 

 on property furnishes $1.35 toward the ex- 

 pense of each scholar. There are in addition 

 1,932 private schools. 



The circulation of the newspaper and peri- 

 odical press of the State in 1864 was estimated 

 at not less than 15,000,000, or more than elever
