Duel.

‘ --An affair of honor took place near the Pennsylvania and Delaware lines yesterday morning, the result of a personal difficulty which occurred at the Capitol, in this city, on Friday last. The principal parties to the affair were Dr. J. J. Jones, of New Orleans, and Mr. Wilson, of Tennessee, an officer, we learn, in the United States revenue service. The difficulty grew out of offensive remarks from Wilson to Jones concerning the Douglas party. Jones was Secretary of the Central Douglas Committee during the late campaign and a warm friend of the Judge, and resented the remark by a slap in the face. Wilson immediately sent a challenge, which was accepted, and the parties left Washington on Monday morning. They fought with pistols at ten paces, Wilson receiving a severe wound in the hip, and Dr. Jones being uninjured.
