Mustering into service.

--The volunteers arriving in Richmond, and answering the requirements of military law, are immediately mustered into service. Among the Dragoon companies accepted, is Company B, Captain Ball, of Chesterfield. Company A, of the same regiment, has not been mustered in yet Most of the soldiers are now quartered at the Central Fair Grounds — a first-rate place for them, as it affords ample room for the accommodation of any number, with eligible places for squad, company, and battalion drills. The Virginia volunteers need no better place for the various evolutions required to be performed by them.
