A fScapaiia.—The Tuilanoma correspondeut of
the Mobile Register and Advertiser ihcs alludes
to the late surprise of or.r forces beyond Fosters
viile:
On yesterday morning we were startled by the
unpleasant intelligence that the Yankees had
been out bright and early to the Manchester pike
beyond Foster fill*, and had succeeded »n sarpris*
teg our cavalry forces, and nearly ail of the Ist
Alabama, Bth Goaf derate, and one piece of ar
tillery. From a gentleman who is conversant
with ihe affair, I last evening gained b“Uie inter
esting particulars At the first streaks of daylight
the enemy burst upon the rear of our picket
encampment, Living eluded tbe videttes and pick*
• ets, and appear to have completely surprised our
forces, which consisted of the Bth Confederate and
Ist Alabama, 'aith one piece of artillery, encamped
beyond Middleton, and only eight miles ol Mum
freefiboro’, where they were perfoimiog outpost
duly. Many of the men were not yet up, and the
encampment, with the single piece of artillery,
and a large portion of the two regiments were cap*
fared.
The remainder who had escaped, finding the
Yankee force insigmfic&nt, presented a stern front
towards the enemy, and having been soon rein
forced, a brisk skirmish ensued, and our forces
succeeded in driving off the marauders, recaptur
ing the piece of artillery and many of tbe pris
oners. The final result of the affair was that the
enenr r, after having burned the tents and broken
a number of gnus captured in the encampments,*
retired, carrying tff with them about fifty pns*
oners. W. N. Games, company G, Is: Alabama,
was tbe only olc killed epon cur tide, wnh per*
baps tlx or eight wounded. Little or no damage
was susiaineti by the aurprmirg party.
Last evening the Tankas repeated the'.experi
ment. udizvn of item clashing down the pi so
upon the light of Gen. vUuin’s cavalry force, and 1
succeeccd ia chpturirg a lieutenant and killing & !
* soldier. Tbe fellow 3 appear to have some spirit I
infused into them of late, and have turned tbe
balance in tbeir favor.
Gov. John Gi>l Shorter,, of Alabama, in re» !
sponse to inquiries from various parts of the j
State, b«e consented to become a candidate for
re-election. Gov. Shorter has, we believe, ad
ministered the duties bf his offilk" wrh signal
success and ability.

THE VOLUNTEER NAT V.
i Congress has lately passed “An Act to establish ]
a Volunteer Navy.” From the Richmond Whig j
of the 23, we learn its provisions to be us foU ;
• lows:
Ary person or persona who shall produce io the
President satiefacturv evidence of bis or tbe’r ;
i character, competency and means, will be, under
j certain regulations, ommissioned by tbe Govern*
oient its regular officers (A tee Volunteer Nary, to
, procure aud fit out vessels ot over IOC tone buri
then tor cruising against the enomy.
Such officers must be •worthy to command,”
and such vessel must “be Ct for tbe service,” and
! they will be “received into the Volunteer Navy, 4 '
, ‘ to serve duriDg the w*r,”, and be subject to ail
i the laws, rules and re/nlations of tbe regalar I
.Vavv, except as o herwise provided for In this •
1 act.”
The grades of rank are fixed in the act from j
Commander down, and pty is provided, which,
' however, is but sma!!—»be compensation con- |
templated being prize? (ninety per cent, or which ;
goes to tbA raptors and ten per cent, to the j
1 w-iunded and the widows and orphans of those
slain,) and a bonus o 23 per cent. Jor tbe de*
| strucuon of armed vest. I-, or military and navai
transpoittof iheeriemv, and $25 for every ptis
oner captured and brought in from HUcb ve-sels.
If the numerous enterprising capitalists who
are engaged in running the blockade and intro
ducing so many useiess and demoralizing luxu
ries, would improve tbe opportunity here present
ed, they might achieve fume and fortune for
themselves, and deal the enemy blows that would
tell m tbe pending struggle.

ORIEL IF TREK
H'e agree with the Macon Telegraph in toe follow*
iog alius on to the rumored excc« f ion *of a
w negroes rv Marmaduie :
For our part, we are of opinion that the officers
df these regiments bhouid be Lung and the pri
vates punished in K»me other wiy. Many of the
iatier beyond a doubt, are put into service agamst
’heir own will, and others go in out of a mere
habit of (.bedience to white men. Many of tbe ne'
groes are mere captives and not runaways.
Helpless destitu e, and alike unaccustomed to
provide • r think for themselves, it is no wonder
they are foand in the ranks. We believe in the
va?t majority of cases, it is against tbeir own
volition, and therefore deprecate capital punish
ment in every case, as unjust und cruel. In this
instance there may have been special reasons for
making a signal example* and we therefore say
nothing more about it.

Absalom's Sword.—lhe French journals giv©
tbe loliowirg singular paragraph ;
A strange discovery has just been made by
Major Pappaiolu, of Hucbaresi—the sword vhicn
belonged to Absalom. The blade has on one
side the following woids traced m Hebrew chart
acters ; ‘‘Present from Gessur to Absalom, sou of
David, Jeho, Jeho. ’ On ihe same side is engrav*
ed tbe image 'of the htxogonal seal of Dav»d,
and on tbe other some characters, tbe meaning of
which has not yet been explained. On tbe corresn
ponding place to those ot the Hebrew characters,
and the opposite side ot the blade, are these words
engraved in gold: “Titus accepit ex Jerasiieo*.'*
This sword had a handle in gold, representing
at *be upper part a warrior’s head covered with a
beirner, and joined by a chain to a dragon’ -ead
which formed the bill. Tbe old monk, po<*-».
of this weapon, procured it from a Jaaissa . iu«
to whose htnda it te»l during the disiurban r •» at
Constantinople, in 1807. la a moment usa
tress be sold the handle and scabbard whi< # » was,
he sits, made of a kind of serpent’s skin, and
mounted in gold. Tue ardent origin of the
b'ade is proved by a m&uufaciare r ’s mark traced
in Semitic characters.

A friend who recently attended a blockade g*ie
of imported English (!) goods in Charleston, say*
that he saw, among other articles, a number of
