Tur IMPENDING DRMT.-From the
sprresfions made in a recent telegram
rom MIR. Secretary Stanton, we think
we are justified in supposing a call for
more men will be made by the Presi-
don't at no distant day. The loss of
life which attends upon the onward
movements of the Union armies in
different parts Of the country is so
GREAT that there must, of necessity, be
additional recruits to keep the United
States forces in proper condition to
cope with the enemy
This call must be large and must be
responded to; and however large 1t
shall be, we have no doubt the men
viii be procured who will push for
ward manfuuy and fight the battles
which have auspiciously begun. There
must be no hesitancy, no willing or
ouailing Of thepubhc heart "a little
more grape as administered by Gen.
Grant and his gallant generals and
brave men, aud we are sure that this
"cruel war may soon be over"
In our judgment the country has
good cause forrejoicing in theprogress
now made in Virginia. That the strug
gle would be desperate was under
stood in advance. That it should have
its moments of doubt, when the chances
seem evenly divided. and that much
dear blood should he needed to turn
the scale, we had reason to anticipate.
But still it is oar flag that advances
and the flag Of rebellion that retreats;
it is by our forces that positions are
held against attack, that colors and
guns and prisoners are taken, and
that re-inforcements are received. The
progress may be slow but it is visible;
and the very desperation with which
it is resisted assures us that the final
victory VIII not leave the rebel army
IN existence as military organization. 3"
We desire to call attention to the
matter Of the new en- ollment. The
selectmen Of every town should attend
to the matter. Many towns have suf-
fered since the war commenced, from
\ having the names OF many aliens upon
then rolls, who were not liable to do
military duty We hope the selectmen
Will see that the new enrolment is cor
rect as requested by the provost mar
shall and it should al once be attended
to. There is no knowing how soon a
dratt, based upon it, may be ordered
