The recent Duel.
--The jury of inquest in regard to the death of Washington J. Worsham, met again yesterday morning, but took no further action than to receive the testimony of Dr. C. Bell Gibson, which is as follows:‘ I was called on Saturday, 7th December, 1861, to see W. J. Worsham. I found him suffering with a wound on the right hip bone, which I was informed was caused by a pistol shot. There was another wound on the other side of the body, in a nearly similar position, which I was informed was caused by a knife, used to extract a pistol-ball. A ball was shown to me, said to be the one extracted. Mr. Worsham's condition was as follows: His pulse was rapid and feeble; skin cool and clammy; countenance greatly altered, having an expression of great prostration There was considerable pain over the abdomen; oozing of blood in small quantity from the wounds; nothing but blood observed. Treatment directed was stimulation and anodyne medicines. He died at 11 o'clock Sunday, about twenty-six hours, I suppose, from the receipt of the wound. I have no doubt his death was caused by the pistol shot.
The jury adjourned over until 10 o'clock this morning. The difficulty of finding any of the parties who witnessed the duel, may render a full investigation of the facts impossible, at least for the present.
