-Last evening's Boston Journal says
that a Fort Yuma dispatch reports the
sudden death of Capt. L. Poland of
the ordinance department. We are in
receipt of a letter from Capt. Martin L.
Poland, (only son of Judge Poland)
dated Benicia, California, Aug. 8, in
which he writes that he has been
ordered to Yuma Depot, Arizona, and
that he should leave for that post in a
day or two. So we think there is little
reason to doubt but that the above are
both one and the same person. Judge
Poland is now in Saratoga.

CAPT. MARTIN L. POLAND U. S. N.
A dispatch from Fort Yuma says that Capt. Martin L. Poland of the Ordinance Department, United States Army, died suddenly on Tuesday evening. Captain Poland was born in Vermont and was appointed from that state to the Military Academy, where he remained from July 1, 1860 to June 13, 1864, when he graduated and promoted to the army with the rank of second lieutenant in the ordinance. He served during the civil war to its close. He was sent as assistant ordinance officer to Fortress Monroe Arsenal, Virginia, July 21, 1864, and was appointed brevet first lieutenant and brevet captain December 14, 1865 for faithful and meritorious service. He was temporarily detached in charge of the ordinance deport at Richmond, VA., from Dec. 5, 1865 to Feb. 13, 1866, and at Hilton Head, SC in a similar capacity, from Oct 21 to Nov. 9, 1866. He was promoted to first lieutenant Dec. 16, 1867, and more recently to captain.
