R. Allen, who waa present, instantly remarked that he wan a Southern man ahd a Union man. This avowal caused quite a sensation, and but for the interference of friends, who carried Mr. A s op ponent awav. a flsht might have ensued. About & o'clock p. m a considerable crowd of people were assembled in Brown'a Hotel, and the everlasting topic was discussed with every Indi cation of fresh interest. Two Washingtonlans, both a little better or Wone for sundry liquid Im bibitions, sat talking to each other, and one de clared that he was a Union man; the other ex pressed himself for Immediate secession No 1 thought it would be a blessing to the country if all disuntonists were bung without benefit of clergy.

Both belligerents were Instantly backed by their friends, and a small scrimmage wat Imminent, when several constables and a magistrate Interfered And separated the pugna cious pair. ' After all prospect of a fight bad subsided, up steps the well known little patriot "who wouldn't sell his birthright for a mess of potash," and who hurt himself so seriously on a former occasion trying to straddle wide enough to tread in the footsteps of the late A.

New Years Day was ushered in by different parties ia different ways. A very pleasant ball was given by Company H.
