LATEST NEWS.

DEATn OF Mn. PoINsETT.-News
reached here yesterday of the death of
Hon. Joel Il. Poinseit, at Statesburg, on
Friday last, He was in the 73d year of
his age Mr.. Poinsett had been very fee
Bile for some years, from the gradual creep
ing on ofthat decay Of the lungs which was
finally the cause of his death.
Few Of the public men Of this country
exhibit life so checkercd with shifting
scenes, stirring adventures and varied po-
sitions as Mr.. Poinseit. In early life he
passed some years in traversing many
countries of Europe, and finally pcnetra-
ted far into the interior of Asia, at a time
when such an adventure was much more
per1lous and romantic than it is now
Subsequently, he took leading part in
settling the diplomatic relations Of the Uni
ted States with the new Republics of South
America and with Mexico.
On the election of Mr.. Van Buren, to the
Presidcncy,he was appointed Secretary of
War, in which office he continued until the
close of that Administration. Here he
was principally distinguished for intro
ducingt the Flying Artillery into the Army,
and for devising scheme for embodying
and training the Militia, which in military
point of view we always regarded as a
very sagacious measure, but which not on
" was not adopted, but was made one Of
the most fruitful sources of invective
against the Administration, and with so
much effect. that Mr. Van Buren, in his
fright took the first convenient opportunity
Of disownng and dcnouncing it.
Since that timehe has lived IN retirement,
though occasionally taking part, through
the press, in the discussion OF leading pub
lie questions.
The natural turn of Mr. Poinsett's tenn
per seems to have been military life
He had great chivalry of character, love
of hazardous adventure, and extraordinary
GOODNESS and resources in trying emerN !,
gency. In the Army, we cannot doubt
he would have won much more brilliant
reputation than he gained in civil life
He seems 10 have been deferred from this
profession by the carly feebleness of his
Constitution.
We can say little to characterize Mr..
Poinsett in private life, never having en-
joyed bis personal acquaintance. But be
yond question, he was a public spirited
citizen, an honorable man, and greatly be-
loved by those who intimately knew lin.

BY the arrival yesterday Of the steam
ship Meteor Capt. Forbes, we have re-
ceived Galveston papers 10 the 9th inst.
The Journal says that a memorial is
nowin circulation, requesting the General
Government to construct various national
works In Texas, similar TO those in other
States. Among these navy yard at Gal
weston is proposed.
The prisoners confined in the Jail at
San Antonio left .onc night without per-
mission. They broke the Jail doors. and
left comical note behind. stating that
they had to visit Corpus Chisti. to make
arrangements for the fair to be held there
in May next.
Judge Buckley. in his charge to the
grand jury in Fort Bend county. narrated
the following incidents:
He said he had known two cases In
which personshad been tried before him for
the crime Of murder. In the first instance.
four of the jurors who were to Judge OF
the guilt or innocence Of the party accused
were murderers themselves; and in two
weeks after he tried the second, and for
the same crime, in an adjoining county,
| where three out of the twelve jurors were
guilty oil the same crime-murder.
The seven men out of twenty four, who
were called upon to administer justice to
two Of their fellow-men, We're guilty of the
same offence with the parties accused.
