COMPOSITION OF THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS IN 1863. 



The Congressional Districts, which form au important feature of the tables, are described iu 

 the fourth section of the act of March 3, 1803. They were to be the districts as laid down in each 

 State by the most recent enactment. Since that period, many of the States have been redistricted, 

 and the reader desirous of applying to any town or county the details of the tables, as to the rela- 

 tion of disease or physical condition to locality, may find it difficult to ascertain iu what district 

 the object of his inquiry was then included. For this reason it is thought desirable to record the 

 composition by counties, townships, or wards of the different sections which formed the enrollment 

 or congressional districts of the States subjected to the draft. A cartographic presentation of the 

 same subject will be found in Plate I.
