Whether < marching through tlte scorching sands of 1 a tropical shore or traversing the frosty t mountain passes, he ever exhibited these rene cheerful, and determined hearing of ( the soldier and gentleman.

Such was my con- 1 fidenco in the officers and nu n of thai regiment that, bad it ever been my lot to ( see that proud flag laid low upon the 1 bloody field, I would have looked to find 1 beneath its tattered folds the corpse of the , last survivor of that gallant band.

Mr. Campbell of Ohio, said: Mr. Speaker, the dispensation which has deprived a Slate of one of its members makes this a most solemn meeting of the House of Represeetatives.

If these elements I which are among the highest characters [ tics of true manhood, ever led him to acts | ] which our judg.nent would decide to he I wrong, let us remember that "to err is hu- | man, to forgive divine." During his Congressional career Mr.. > Brooks always commanded friends ami s t admirers in social life.

As his State and ' n ine are contiguous, our districts were so near each otl er, and such was the inter- !

Of the ' incident* of his lifo, both political and 1 military, the gentlemen who precceded rne ' have so appropriately spoken that nothing * is left for me to add. i My personal acquaintance with him be * gan with the commencement of his service ' in thia IIoo?e; and the fact that we rep- 1 resented adjoining States and those who were united by many ties, both in the past and the present, together with great 1 similarity in our political feelings an I i views at onee made ua intimate friends, i Even now, while I attempt to speak, so many reeollectiona crowd on ine of inei- i dents that were intereeting and touching t in our personal intercourse, that it is diffi < cult for mc to avoid the expression of I feelings that might seem out of place t here. < The presence of death, a! war* painful, > doubly appalling when it ci?mcs nkI | rlenlv and falls on on-i mi the vigor of man- i bood, with bright proape?'ts before him?
