As I was looking at the Nov 9, 1861 Harpers Weekly:
http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/civil-war/1861/november/lincoln-suspends-habeas-corpus.htm

I noticed this little article.

STRENGTH OF THE UNION ARMY.
From reliable sources the Herald has compiled a table showing the number of troops each loyal State has now in the field or on their way to the seat of war;

States.   Infantry.   Cavalry.   Artillery.   Total.

Connecticut   4,188   100   —   4,288

Illinois    41,000   8,000   —   49,000

Indiana    30,000   2,000   500   32,500

Iowa    16,100   3,600   —   19,700

Kansas   4,000   1,000   200   5,200

Massachusetts   29,000   —   350   29,350

Maine    8,000   1,200   —   9,200

Michigan ...   18,784   5,800   300   24,884

Minnesota    3,000   -   —   3,000

New York    85,000   5,000   500   90,500

New Jersey   9,000   —   —   9,000

New Hampshire   5,000   —   200   5,200

Ohio    63,000   3,500   600   67,100

Pennsylvania   51,000   4,000   800   55,800

Rhode Island    2,628   —   750   3,378

Vermont    5,000   100   —   5,100

Wisconsin    10,000   1,200   1100   12,300

Total   384,700   35,500    5300   425,500

In addition to the above there are the State and Government troops in Kentucky and Missouri, which may be estimated as follows:

Government.   State.

Missouri    10,000   25,000

Kentucky    8,000   20,000

Total    18,000   45,000

There are also five thousand volunteers raised in California, five thousand in Maryland, one thousand six hundred in Delaware, and two thousand in the District of Columbia, besides ten thousand regulars, which, added together, will show the Union land forces to number five hundred and twelve thousand men.
