Edgar A. Poe, the distinguished poet and critic, died yesterday at the Washington Hospital, where he has been lying since election day in a most deplorable condition. He was found by some friends in the street, and taken to the hospital in a deranged state, where the most unremitting attention was given him. He had just returned from a visit to Virginia, where he had delivered several series of most able lectures to delighted audiences, and has now fallen a victim to that frailty that is so often the besetting sin of an erratic genius.
