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.

It ib tbe fullest and most re* liable intelligence we have yet received from that reg meat. It is dated Miridian, Miss., May 21st; * ‘‘l arrived at this place at five o'clock, P. M., to-day. From the best information I can gather, none of mv men were killed in the fight at Jack son. Jobu Shippey was wounded in the right arm and breast—not mortally. Ben.

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. TAX COLLECTOR#.
