An unequal Contest.

--Among the few prisoners at the Mayor's Court yesterday, was a soldier from Missouri, who fought under Gen. Price at Springfield and other places, of which he bears honorable evidence in the shape of scars upon his person. His term of enlistment in the West having expired, he came here with several companions to join another command, but unfortunately undertook a personal combat with Richmond whiskey, found him self unequal to the match, and subsided ingloriously into a doorway. This is another proof of the theory which we have endeavored to enforce, that there is more danger in the distilled lightning of 1861, than in Yankee bullets and shooting irons.
