USEFUL MISCELLA NY.
!" Like ths landscape to the view,
Ever charming, ever new"
Major Brown.

q
The editor Of the st. Louis New Era,
in speaking Of this brave officer, of the 7th
Regiment Of Infantry, who was killed in
the attack made by the Mexicans on his
encampment opposite Matamoras, says he
was native of Vermont, and at the be-
ginning Of the war Of 1912, enlisted in the
army as common soldier. For his merit
he was promoted from the ranks TO the
Office Of ensign, and served with great
bravery during The, whole war. He was
in nearly all the hard-fought battles on the
Niagara, in the years 1913 and 1914. Be
fore the close of the war he was promoted
to the office Of lst Lieutenant, and after
wards rose by regular gradations to the
rank Of Major, in which capacity he has
served for many years. He has been "a
years in the army, and has been much in
active service in the various parts Of the
frontier. He at an early day acted as com
missary Of subsistence at Council Bluffs,
and was afterwards stationed at St. Louis
as Quarter Master Commissary. He was
at one time engaged in conducting the
tribes Of emigrating Indians to the West,
and was in active service during nearly the
whole period Of the. Florida war. During
"a years Of arduous service, he was never
involved in difficulties nor had charges pre-
ferred against him. AT the time Of his
death he was fifty years old, and died as he.
had lived, in the active and faithful dis
charge Of his duties as military officer
GENERAL REVOLUTIONS IN MExIco.--The
New York Courier says il has advices from
Washington, Through source fully entitled
to confidence" that the initial steps have been
taken in nearly all the departments of Mexico,
for combining together to overthrow the exist
ing administration in that country, having for
lis object the restoration TO power of Santa
Anna. The Courier states that our govern
ment has had, for several weeks, full details
OF the movements. A plan for new admin
istration is said to have been drawn up by
Santa Anna himself, and by his adherents cir
culated in Mexico. The Courier anticipates
the entire success of the project.
The Washington Union, noticing the state
meat of the Courier, says:
"We deem it our duty to state, in the most
positive terms, that our government has no
sort of connection with any scheme Of Santa
Anna for the revolution of Mexico, or for any
sort OF purpose. Some three months ago some
adventurer was in Washington, who wished to
obtain their counlenance and aid in some scheme
or other connected with Santa Anna. They
declined all sort of connection, cooperation, or
participation in any effort for the purpose
The government Of this country declines all
such intrigues or bargains. They have made
war openly in the face of the world, They
mean 10 prosecute it with all their vigor. They
mean to force Mexico to do US justice at the
point OF the sword. This, then. is their de-
rign-this is their plan and it is worthy Of
