DeatF, of the Hon. j. R. Poinsett

The Hon. Joel r. Poinsett departed this life
the 18th inst, at Statesburg, S. c. He was
the I'D year of his age. Mr.. Poinsett was
distinguished man. He represented Charles
L with great ability, both in the State Legis-
ture and in Congress. At the close of his Con-
essional career, he served as U. s. Minister to
exico, and in that capacity, not only ably
tintained the interests of the republic, but on
II memorable occasion SO boldly upheld our ma
tional flag, in the Mexican capital, that the art
of painting has perpetuated the incident. Du-
ing Mr. Van Buren's Presidency, he was called
% preside over the war department, and so ad-
ninistered its affairs as to command general ap-
rotation and while Secretary of War, took a
eading part in founding the National Institute
Washington, and introduced the Flying Artil-
ery into the army The residue of his useful
fe was passed in elegant retirement, during
7hich, however, his pen continued to the last to
fied its contributions to the literature and the
politics Of his country, showing the unabated
yigor of his intellect, and his patriotic interest
n the welfare of his country. Full of years and
ull Of honors, he has been gathered to his fa-
hers; and his country will embalm his memory.
BSg@ The Doylestown Democrat announces
ne death of Joshua DUNCAN Esq, late Wing
andidate for Canal Commissioner, of Warwick
ownship, Bucks county, and pays a very hand
ONE tribute to his memory. 1t concludes thus:
Thus much have we deemed it proper for us,
public journalist to say, for should a stran-
er open this paper and see the death Of Joshua
DUNCAN announced without word Of comment,
ae might well exclaim III the language Of Holy
Writ Verify, the just perisheth, and no man
iayeth it TO heart"

From Washington.

The Lateltigencer of Decem. 18th, expresses
surprise that no toast was drunk to the Presi-
dent at the Press dinner in New York to Kos
suth, and adds that Mr.. Websters letter was
received with Kisses. 1t says the first move
ment made for the release of Kossuth, was made
by Mr.. Webster, and but for the influence pro-
duced by his letter to the American Minister at
Constantinople, Kossuth would still be prisoner
in Asia Minor. The Republic says Kossuth is in
the hands of few oficious individuals in New
York, who are using him to advance their own
interests. In fulflment of that purpose they are
laboring to place him in position antagonistical
to Congress and the Administration. The same
paper says Kossuth has been led into entangling
alliances Of the worst description, despite all
his care. Mr.. G. II. Miles of Baltimore, has
left Washington, as Bearer of Dispatches to the
American Consul at Madrid 1t is said the de-
spatches relate to the Lopez prisoners and Mr.
Thrasher, and expresses a confident belief that
the exertions of the government will procure
their release.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 19th.-The Southern mail
was received this morning, bringing dates from
New Orleans as late as due. The great demon
stration on the 10th inst. in behalf of Mr.. John
s. Thrasher, was attended by not less than ten
thousand people. The egreatest-excitement was
manifested, and resolution was proposed de
olaring that the people of New Orleans would
not allow the Spanish flag to be l.oisted in that
city until Mr.. Thrasler should be released.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Republic and In
telligencer, of this morning are very severe upon
Kossuth and his projects, and the course of GER
tain New York papers, which they assert are
turning his head by fulsome adulation The
Republic says that his money project is another
Lopez loan, and asserts that hundred millions
would be required for a successful revolutionary
conflict in Hungary.
The Intelligencer ridicules Kossuth's interpre-
tation of Washington's policy, remarking that
the doctrine of non-interyention and neutrality
was the doctrine alike of civilization, christiani-
ty, peace and of Washington but that it remain
ed an Egyptian writing for his benighted coun-
tryman, until the gifted descendant of Atlla,
the Hungarian Washington, happily gave US the
key and revelation.
