Died of his wounds.
--The soldier who was shot on Friday night last by Michael Mitchell, died on Saturday.
Whether his name was Joseph White or Charles O'Riely, we cannot tell; for while the former seems to be generally believed to be his proper name, a physician who aided in dressing his wounds testified before the Mayor on Saturday that he had understood it to be O'Riely, and a special messenger from the St. Charles Hospital, where the soldier then lay on his death bed, came on Friday night to tell us that his name was Charles O'Riely, of the Madison Rifles, Louisiana.
Verdict of the Coroner's jury.
--The Coroner's jury summoned by Alderman Sanxay to inquire when, how, and by what means, Chas. O'Riely came to his death, sat on Saturday and again yesterday morning, at which latter sitting they rendered their verdict; which is, that the deceased "came to his death by a missile shot from a musket fired by Michael Mitchell, on Main street, near 21st, on the 13th of September, about 8 o'clock P. M."
The reader will observe that the name of the deceased is Charles O'Riely.
