General Burnside to the Senate Of the United
States to succeed hr. Sprague, whose term
expires Oh The 9TH of March u xt. Elk. Presl-

from Tennessee by the Legislative convention
on the 6tty-ffth ballot, to succeed w. u.
Browolow. He received fity-lwo votes; TWO
more than was necessary to elect him. The

fifty votes, sixty-nne being necessary to a
choice. The two Houses of the Wisconsin
Legislature voted separately yesterday, but
neither of the nominees received sufficient
