The Military forces of Virginia.

The bill reported in the Senate by the Committee on Military Affairs, for raising and organizing Virginia's quota of the Confederate Army, was taken up yesterday, and some few amendments were adopted. It will hereafter be considered in secret session, but we will endeavor to obtain a copy for publication as soon as it is perfected. The volunteers in the camps are in a state of high excitement in regard to the subject, and while they profess a willingness to re-enlist, under officers of their own choosing, if the State needs their services, they are indignant at the prospect of what they term ‘"coercive legislation. "’
