The recent Messages of the rebel Governors, and other official documents put forth by the State authorities, enable us to form a pretty correct estimate of the strength of the rebels now in the field. It is leaving off odd hundreds, as follows:

STRENGTH OF CANADA AND THE STATES ON THE BORDER,

By the Canadian census of this year and the United States census of 1860, the relative strength of the Canadas and the States bordering on them is as follows: Canada East, bordering on New England ....... Canada West on the New York and Michigan borders....

Total.....

1,003,066

1,395,222

2,398,8 8

The States in proximity to the Canada line, according to the census of 1860, show the following population:

The number between the ages of eighteen and fortyfive in Canada is 470,000; in the States on the border, 1,183,000-or nearly three to one.
