Sword presentation.

--A fine sword of domestic manufacture was presented on Saturday night, at Crawford's Saloon, to Captain Wm. J. Dabney of the ‘"Game-Point Battery,"’ by several members of his own company. The present was an impromtu one, and took the recipient entirely by surprise. The sword was presented by Sergeant G. A. Lyon, in a few felicitous remarks, which were appropriately responded to by Captain Dabney. The latter was formerly 1st Lieutenant in the Purcell battery, but resigned to raise a company.--The occasion of a complimentary supper to Capt. Dabney, prior to the departure of his company, was availed of to offer the above acceptable present to one who has heretofore proved himself entirely worthy of the honor.
