Another Requisition for Volunteers.

The government has again called for troops
"a large number of them. Our generals
are everywhere finding themselves outnum-
bered by the rebels, whose force we had
heretofore supposed much less than OURS
This unexpected increase in the rebel armies
in Virginia and the Southwest, is owing to
the fact that they have received reinforce
ments at the expense of their armies on the
coast, which have enabled them to menace
our commanders at every point, and the
consequence has been the defeat of General
Banks, and his retreat across the Potomac.
Massachusetts and New York are promptly
sending forward men, and let not Vermont
be behind when our country calls. Although
this requisition comes at when cur farming
population is busily employed, yet there is no
reason why the one regiment called for from
this state should not have full ranks in one
week from the opening of the recruiting off,
ces. A short time ago the enlistments had
absolutely to be stopped by the government,
and We know no reason Why they may not be
resumed with the old spirit now that the
worst of the work is done. Below We print
the order of Adjutant General Washburn
calling for another regiment of Green Noun
tain Boys.

THE PROGRESS TO RICHMOND.
Crossing the ChickahOminy
SMELLING TIE REBELS.

A dispatch dated Gen McClellan's head
quarters 10 miles from Richmond, May 24th,
says Our troops crossed the Chickahominy
yesterday, both at Bottoms and the railroad
bridges, and now occupy position miles
beyond. A few of the enemy's pickets only
were seen in front of the advance under Gen
Stoneman. At New Bridge, strong guard
of the enemy is still visible on the opposite
side Of the creek. Their presence will no,
interfere with the crossing of our troops
when the proper time comes. A large
number of men have been detailed for the
building of number of bridges at differen:
points on the creek. The balloon ascension
made to-day by Prof Lowe, gave no assur-
ance of the enemy's being in any considera-
BILE force near at hand. From the best in
formation that can be ascertained, tire enemy
have selected position between and
miles on this side Of Richmond, to meet the
federal troops. The advance of the federal
army now being within : miles Of Rich
,nond, its further progress must necessarily
be slow in order that the main body shall
come up to be prepared to meet any emer-
gency that may arse in approaching the cap
ital of rebeldom. Very little firing was
heard to-day in the direction of the position
held by cur guDboats in the James river
The moral and yigor of the army of the Po-
tamac is equal to that of any in the world.
