A Remarlxable Game of Marbles.

The writer of the "Pen and Ink
Sketches" in the West Florida Com
me7ciaI, mentions an interesting little
incident connected with the retreat
southwark of Mr.. Davis and his Cabi-
net, after the capitulation of General
Johnston.
The party had stopped for rest at the
residence of a gentleman near the Ca
tawba river. The writer proceeds
His dwelling, beautifully situated and
surrounded by ornate and cultivated
grounds, was reached about four o'clock.
P. NJ, and the charming lady of the
mansion, with shat earnest sympathy
and kindness which Mr.. Davis, in mis-
fortune, never failed to receive from
Southern women, soon made every man
of the party forget his cares and feel, for
a time at least, "o'er all the ills of life
victorious"
After such slight renovation and
changes of their traveled-toiled toilets as
circumstances permitted, and an hour Of
refreshing rest, it was novel sight to
see Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Reagan, with
little son of their kind host as their ally,
plavipg an animated and well contested
game Of marbles against his second son,
boy of some ten years, supported by
General Breckenridge and another Cab
met officer. The game lasted nearly an
hour; and notwithstanding the skill of
his opponents, Breckinridge, who plays
the best game of marbles of any leading
public man since Judge Marshall, and
who had his usual good luck, came off
victorious.
The youngsters, two bright, intelligent
Southern boys, will never forget that ar
IDENTIFY disputed game of marbles with
Mr.. Davis, who, to their infinite delight,
seemed as much at home with all the
words of caution and command, from
"knuckle down at taw" to "roundings,"
as themselves.

DRUNKENNEss IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
A London paper makes comparison be-

drunkenness. 1t says since the time Henri
Mcvcgcranl his son, Bohcmians, the vice Of in
toxication has made marked and dcplorable
ton Of becr-shops, and the systematic adute-
ration Of wine, have, in Paris, at least, taught
working classes pcrnicious custom of what in
England is termed ''hoozing" 4 French sot
was formerly monstrosity; the manners of the
later day have made the type Of the topper q
common one. Moreover, the mania-it is
nothing less than a mania-ior the Supplying
and nauseous beverage called abslnthe, has
made terrible threads Oh the s0brety OF the
population; and among WOrkmcn and soldiers
in particular the craving falls little short of the
proportions Of L pestilence.
England Is not, perhaps, the most drunke II
country in the world, but very lew surpass it
in pronencSs to the consumption Of the most
basotting stimulants. there is more intoxica-
tiol to be seen in the course Of one hour in
London, Dublin Liverpool or Glasgow, than
two whole Gays would disclose in any Of the
great Atlantic cities. BY their fondness for
brandy the Russian peasantry the Danes and
the Swedcs, would horily 4 temperance lee

Russia, Denmark nor Sweden are drinking
habits productive of the misery, the vice
and the crime which are their sure attendants
in England. The Germans drink beer from
morning till night, and drink . fair proportion
of wine and ardent spirits into the bargain;
nevertheless, drunkenness is by no means a
marked feature in the German character.
The English paper from which we quote
these remarks, adds this inquiry: How isit,
