What the "Militia" can do.
--The Selma (Ala.) Citizen states that about ten days since a party of State militia, numbering about seventy men under the command of Capt. Smith and Col. Samuel G. Henry, of the 9th Alabama Volunteers, crossed the Tennessee at Claysville, Marshall county, and attacked a party of one hundred Yankee cavalry, defeating them, and killing five, capturing fifty-nine, with their horses, arms, and accoutrements.
The party returned, with the loss of two men, bringing their prisoners, and are now armed with the Spencer rifle, the trophies of their victory.
