ROCHESTER, Dec. 81.
Our city was yesterday thrown into state
of great excitement by the discovery of the
mangled murdered body of Charles w. Lit
tie, lawyer in this city, in Genessee river, a
few rods below the falls.
From the pools of blood and other evidence
of struggle, the murderers were easily
traced from the place of the fatal contest to
the river, where they attempted to conceal
the evidence of their crime by sinking the
body OF their victim. The water being shall
low, the body did not float away from the
the shore, and was found at O'Clock yester-
day morning +.. -;-et....-q -. 4
The body was Immediately taken to the
police office and arrest made of his vile, her
brother, and several other of his relatives.
From the evidence it appears that Little
and his wife did not live happily together,
and that separation took place about year
ago, but the past month or two they had
lived together again. On the ground was
discovered blood and other evidences of
conflict were found. A piece of victorine
corresponding with one worn by Mrs. Little,
with rosette matching one found in her
possession, and a comb, pair of spectacles
said to belong to her brother, Ira Stout q
young man aged %, and the arm of chair,
said to have been taken from the Office where
Little was employed. ...-........'.....
Mrs. Little's left wrist and her brothers.
left arm were found broken, showing that
they had been engaged in some extraordina-
ry conflict. The evidence so far seems
strongly against the wife of tie murdered
man and her brother, Ira Stout.

full of delicious fish, large tracts of the finest
meadow land, and soil Of unsurpassed fer
tility. Then again, there are very few
sloughs about here, so that settlers can come
quite early in the season, because the roads
are for the most part excellent, which is Of
itself great advantage to place. Of the
natural beauties have said little, as many
persons do not care mnch about them, provi-
ded they can obtain the more practical ad-
vantages | have just referred to. Yet to me
the charms of a landscape, combining such
views as are to be found in this neighbor-
hood, especially around Fairy Lake. are more
attractive than anything else. However,
both classes of settlers can be accommoda-
ted, and nowhere else in Minnesota are so
many advantages in every point of view COM
bined as are here presented. Not more than
dozen claims are as yet taken up, and those
by very superior class of settlers, who in
tend to make this their permanent home, SO
that there is here afforded probably the best
chance for a truly desirable location to be
found in any portion Of the Territory.
But l must now pause, and in my next ar
ticle will relate what We saw and did during
our sojourn at Kandotta, with some remarks
respecting the climate, &c., of this part of
Minnesota. 10 ~. w.

A Winter Trip to the Sauk valley--NO.2. 2.
Richmond-sauk Rver-Great Prairie-Lake Henry
Break observation-disclosures and Advanta-
ges q this Portion of Minnesota.
MEssRs. EDITORS In my last communi
cation we were just about starting from Brant-
ford, the weather having changed, and pref
ty hard frcst set in during the night, which
made the roads exceedingly rough. Finding
it impossible to cross at st. Cloud, as the
river was effectually broken up, and hearing
that at Sauk Rapids the ferry-boat was rum
ming we determined to try our luck there, and
accordingly started about 10 o'clock. Sank
Rapids is little more than two miles above
St. Cloud but, although an older place, does
not appear to grow very rapidly. Just be-
fore reaching the ferry, the man who had CIV
en- us information in reference to the boat
passed us and got on board first. We thought
this rather strange, and stranger still when,
after landing his passenger, and having long
confab with him, the ferrymau, iustead of
bringing over the large boat, jumped into
canoe and padded over to us. We soon
found out what it all meant which was nei-
ther mere nor less than this,-that he would
not ferry us over unless we would pay him
fire dollars for each team in advance! The
usual fare, ,'be it remembered is 25 cents. On
enquiring why he should make such an ex-
Orbitant demand he informed us that the man
who had Just crossed called on him the day
previous and induced him to cut the ice away
on both sides of the river by telling him there
were FIVE teams waiting at Emcrson's, who
would, if he cleared the ferry, pay him five
dollars each; whereas when landed On the
other side he had offered bad bill, saying
that it was all the money he had. Not liking
to be imposed upon in this manner, and sup
posing chat we were all in company and
would probably play the same game, he came
across to collect the money first. Now al |
this was news to US, as we knew nothing of
the Individual and had no idea of any arrange
ment of the kind referred to but of course
found it extremely difficult to convince the
ferryman of this however we finally COM
promised the matter and were soon across the
Mississippi. As for the scoundrel that play
ed up this contemplate trick, wish l knew
his name, as he ought to be exposed for such
rascally deception. But he was one of the
many who in this world, so long as they can
.accompli sh their own selfish ends never
pause at the means however base or disrepu-
table they may be. YcL what very little
soul, such a beggarly dog must have and
! will warrant one thing, that if he ever at
tempts to cross at sauk Rapids again he will
be very sure Of glorious ducking; and most
richly will he deserve it.
But, owing to this detention, so much time
1 had been lost that it was after l O'Clock
when we left the Mississippi. We reached
st. Jo at 8, p NJ, seven miles from the fer.

posed partly of prairie end partly Of wood

remarks, there was one point on which he
wished to say few words. When Governor
Walker and Secretary Stanton went to Kan
sas, they found state of insurrection exist
ing there, and succeeded with great labor in
restoring peace, He thought the President
and his Cabinet were alone responsible for
the late outbreaks This was the first time
he had known the President to descend from
his high position to attempt to coerce peace
able ciiizens to the will of illegal party men.
He was ready to disagree with his party for
he believed he had rendered as much service
in the election of Mr.. Buchanan as anv pen.
ticman on the floor. He was also somewba,
astonshed at the forbearance of the peoDle
of Kansas toward the delegates 10 the Con.
ventlon. If the people had fiogged them. cut
their ears Oft and sent them out of the Ter
ritory, he would have applautled them for #
lie would not make any extended remarks

should ever be presented to the Senate, he
might have something to say about it then
tie would remark that he was no free-soiler.
In his own State, his most bitter opponents
were Republicans.
Mr.. Brown gave notice that he should ex-
press his views after the holidays, but would
say now, that if the late election in Kansas
was a fair one, as lie hoped it was, in which
all parties had been allowed, freely and with
out hindrance, to participate, and Kansas
should ask admission as free State, he stood
upon the record in favor of her admission
ii, on the contrary she should ask admission
as a slave State, he hoped his friends on the
ether side would abide by their former action.
