DUEL BETWEEN AN ARMY OFFICER AND PHIL.
FoKNEY.-A Washington dispatch of the 9th to
the st. Louis Republican says:
duel was fought in this city yesterday between
an officer of the regular army on duty here, and
whose name could not be ascertained, and Phil
Forpey. son of Hon. j. W. Forney, the weapons
being pistols, at twenty PAGES. Three shots were
exchanged, by which Forney was twice wounded
and the officer ouce, but neither fatally. IL is
thought Fofney may lose his hand. The princi-
pals were eager to fight the quarrel out, but after
blood had been drawn on both sides, the seconds
interviewed and declared that as the gentlemen's
fed. The eight misunderstanding arose in the
diniDg-room Of Wizards, lady being in the case,
and the quarrel could only be adjusted by the
rigors of me code. Forney's second was r. T.
Shelly. Of New Orleans, former correspondent
and New York Tribune.
