the white iiatixcs, tlic aboriginal Indians, and the negroes. The Indians were not sub- 

 ject to the draft, so that the members of that race appearing in the- tables will be 

 understood to have been recruits (^volunteers) or substitutes. Many other foreigners 

 were found on the returns, but not in sufficient numbers, in any case, to deserve a 

 place in the tables. As a matter of curiosit)-, a list of tliem may not be uninteresting. 

 The place of nativity is copied literally from the records; in some instances, it will be 

 seen that it is somewhat vaguely ascribed to an entire quarter of the globe:

 and organizing the national forces, and for the arrest of deserters and spies of the 

 enemy, the United States shall be divided into districts, of which the District of 

 Columbia shall constitute one, each Territory of the United States shall constitute one 

 or more, as the President shall direct, and each congressional district of the respective 

 States, as fixed by a law of the State next preceding the enrollmeixt, shall constitute 

 one : Provided, That, in States which have not by their laws been divided into two or 

 more congressional districts, the President of the United States shall divide the same 

 into so many enrollment-districts as he may deem fit and convenient."
