Col. DAM, Provost Marshal General of
this State, received dispatches yesterday
from Washington which Indicate that a
further call for men is soon to be made
The Colonel is ordered to proceed at once
With revision of the previous enrolment
preparatory to the assignment of new
quota to the State. To this eud he has in. .
structed his deputies to proceed at ouce to
work in their. various sub. districts.

ton OF the terms of those going out of the
service this Summer. 1t is not known at
this Gmelthat any forces now raised will
be seat to the field. That will eSpend on
the results of the great movements now
going onsin Eastern Virginia and in the
Southwest. The determination is 10 have
reserve force wherewiLh to meet any ex-
tgeucy Of contingency.
Volunteering, therefore, is once more
In order. West Virginia will be assigned
hCr quota as soon as the new enrolment
is made. She will be credited With all the
volunteers added to her regiments mean
while, aud when the draft ensues she will
have just that many less men to furnish.
With q Vis~sto.a proper aud talr enroll.
meus it is the interest of every citizen to
report TO some provost marshal any one
known to him as up enrolled who is sub.
iect to draft, for thereby the chance Of
every .Olher person to be drafted is de.
creased. at the same time it Is equally
the interest of every citizen to report any
mprOPer>enrollments,b because an excess
of such names increases the quota to be
assigned 20 the State. With view to a
closer understanding OF this whole subject,
We will quote the substance of the despatch
yesterday to Col. Darr from the Provost
Marshal General of the United States:
WAsntSGrOS, May 1s. 1864.
Lieut.. COL Darr:
Let the revision of the eurolImeut be
pushed to completion at the earliest pos
Stble day, and make known to the peopls
that 1t is plainly for the interest OF each
town, ward, SC, to have stricken from the
lists all names improperly enrolled, because
called Tor from each town, ward, 30. Itts
equally for the interest of each person en-
rolled, in given town or ward, to place
upon the list all persons in his town or
ward liable to do military duty, because the
greater the number to be drawn from, the
leSs chance that any particular Individual
ASH ts the personal interest Of every en- >
rolled man that the quota in which he IL
concerned ehall not be made too large, and
that his oWu chances for draft shall not De
uDjustly increased. and as both the objects
will be- attained by striking ont the wrong
names aud putting in theright CUES, there
can be no serious difficulty 10 securing the
corporation OF citizens for the purpose OF
making correct enrOllment.
Jas B. Far, Pro. Mar. Gen.
The call to which the Provost Marshal
General refers above was alluded 10 in the
dispatch of Secretary Stanton to Gen. Dix
on Wednesday Morning, when he said tina,
the design of the Government was now 10
keep up the present standard of the armies
in respect to numbers, uottl definite and
determining results should be achieved.
This is all We have space to say upon the
subject this morning. 1t is likely that an
official document from Gov. BoremAn,
within The next day or two, will more fully
set forth the demands to be made upou
the State for further volunteers. Col, Darr
is ordered to report his enrolment a,
Washington by the 10th of June. As the
time ia short, it is his design to push the
