Death of a gallant soldier. --It is with sorrow that we record the death of Mr. Wm. J. Poindexter, son of Rev. A. M. Poindexter, D. D., of this city, by the accidental discharge of his pistol while on picket duty. Mr. Poindexter was a young man of unusual brilliancy, and possessed of as noble and generous a soul as any man of our acquaintance. He was one of the first to enlist, and so gallantly had he borne himself from the day that he entered the service to the day of his death that he enjoyed the esteem and affection of all who knew him. He now fills a soldier's grave, but his memory will be fondly cherished by many who now mingle their tears with those of the bereaved family of which he was an honored member. Mr. Poindexter died the 26th ult. He was a little over 18 years of age.
