Three military bills have passed the Southern Congress. The first authorizes the raising of one hundred thousand volunteers, when deemed necessary by the President. The second provides for the provisional army of the Confederate States, and is formed from the regular and volunteer forces of the different States, to serve for terms of enlistments, with same officers, except those above the rank of Colonel. The commissions of the officers expire with the enlistment of the men. The third organization is the regular army of the Confederate States, and is a permanent establishment.
