I came across these stats on immigrants arriving in New York City during the Civil War that were published in the NY Tribune. I am not sure what the arrivals were in 1860 for comaprison, but I know they fell off sharply when the war began. Folks don't travel to a country in the midst of a Civil War. What is remarkable was the sharp increases every year after 1861.

I don't know why there is no stat for Ireland for 1864. I assume that there was substantial immigration from there and that it was included in the cumulative total.
