Lieut.. Col. Addison Brown, Jr., late Of the
5th Reg't, son of Rev. Addison Brown of
Bratteboro, and whose resignation, on &C
count of continued ill health, had but just t
been announced, died suddenly at Harris
burg. Pa, on Tuesday of last week, while on
his way home from Illinois, where with his
wife he had been on a visit to her friends.
Col Brown entered the service in Septem-
Der, 1861, as Captain Of Co. +. 4th Vt. Vols.
He early acquired the reputation he has al
ways maintained in the service for courage
and military capacity. For some two years
we believe he was Inspector General upon the
staff of Gen. H. A. Gran, commanding the
VT. Brigade, aud surrendered that position
last fall 10 assume command of the Ssh VI,
wi h the rank OF Lieut.. Colonel. Soon after, {,
his health, severely tried by the exposure OF
four years constant field service, failed him
rapidly, but he persisted in remaining with
his regiment until he was compelled through
sheer weakness to leave the service, and his
resignation was accepted but few weeks be-
fore his death.

U. S. SENATE.

The new members Of the Senate are Aaron
H. Cragin, Mr.. Hale's successor; Jas. Guthrie
Of Kentucky, who succeeds Lazarus w.
Powell Daniel S. Norton, of Minnesota, in
place OF NJ. S. Wilkinson; George H. Will
liams of Oregon, in place Of J. w. Nesmith /;
and Richard Yates OF Illinois, in place Of
William A. Richardson. The old members
reelected are Mr.. Fessenden of Maine, who,
although he has had a temporary successor
while be was in the Treasury Department,
will generally be considered as simply restor-
ed to the seat which he has filled with so
much honor for many years Messrs. An'ho-
ny of Rhode Island, Grimes of Iowa, How
ard of Michigan, Lane of Kansas. Saulshnry
OF Delaware, Wiley of West Virginia, aud
Wilson of Massachusetts. On the whole
the Senate has probably improved by the re-
cent changes. 1t certainly has by the loss Of
Powell and Richardson.
