Hon. j. II. GriDMell.

The following glowing tribute to the
Hon. j, Is. Grnncll, our Representative
in Congress, is from the pen of a
Washington correspondent Of the n.
Y. "Times."
Mr.. Grnnell's constituents will be
glad to learn that Re is representing
them so exceedingly well, and they will
with him, feel proud of such q tribute
Of bis valor and worth from close OBJ
server, Of another State, and q disin-
tercsted and impartial party.
"The Speaker has appointed Mr..
Grinnell member Of the Committee en-
Territories, in the place Of Hon. Owen
Lovejoy, deceased. Mr. Grlnncll, like
Mr.. Lovejoy. was Of Puritan and reso.
lutionary stock. He formerly resided
in Washington county, New York,
where he has hosts of friends. In
many respects. these two men were alike.
Their friendship was Of the most con
tidental character. Both own large
prairie farms, aud have been for years
stigmatized in their respective States
as abolitionists. They owned joint
stock and were brother conductors on
the Underground Railroad. Modern
Democracy never received any mercy
at their hands, while the odious fugitive
slave law was hated and despised
Bo,h were Congreg ational ministers
Mr.. Loyeloy preached the FIST aboli
ton sermon in Chicago, Mr.. Gr,nnel
the first in Washington City. Mr.. l.
was as brave man as ever lived, and
we do not believe NJ. G. would run fol
even his Satanic Majesty should he
cross his path. The mantle Of tn,
noble Lovejoy has fallen on Grinnell
With temperament like his, with the
same genuine sympathy for the oppres
sed, and the same exalted determination
to perseverance in the right, Mr.. Grin
nell, though ten years younger, will u
found valiant successor. He vii
wear the mantle well.-Mr. Loveioy'
dying request to ''take his place ant
fight his battle through" will be ful
filled. No man can better stir up Co,
and the Copperheads, and no one ca,
deal better those mighty blows Will
which Loye.j JOY was wont 10 exhibit tn,
wickedness ofAlavery, and shame o
it's supporters"

The Sious City Register Of the 10th
inst. gives an account Of the murder OF
'rappers on the Big Sioux River, about
forty miles from Sioux City, by Indians.
Tho names of The murdered men were
Fred. Pattce-brother If 1t. Col. John
Pattce of the Seventh Cavalry--and Z.
Tennes. The circumstances were rs
follows: The two trappers named
above and another named Whitman,
had on Friday stopped over night at
tho house of Judge Frame in
Sioux county, and on Saturday morn
ing, started for Sioux City, with large
amount of furs. Pa,tec and Tcnnes
went in a small boat, and Whitman by
land. Not long after they separated
Whitman heard the reports Of four
guns in the direction ofthe river, and q
SHREK Immediately followed the reports.
Starting toward the river, he soon saw
The boat floating in an eddy on the OF.
posite shore, the furs scattered on the
bank, but his companions not in sight.
Juding tina, Indians had done the work,
he proceeded Immediately TO the house
Of Judge Frame, ard the latter started
for Sioux City, where he obtained from
Col. Wilson Of the Sixth Iowa Cavalry
a detachment Of twenty men who start
ed at once for the scene OF the murder
They Travelled all night and arrived or
the ground At daylight the next morn
ing. The trail of the eavages was
found and followed vigorously, but the
next night rain fell and oblitered all
trace Of them, and the pursuit had to
be abandoned. Considering the mill.
tary force which has been stationed .,
Sioux City, this robbery and massacre
were bold acts, and will occasion ger
eral feeling Of insecurity along the
northwestern border.-Des Muine
