HOME DEFENSE.

We are glad to see that the companies
ordered to be raised for the protection Of.
the frontier are being rapidly filed up.
The company being raised here, We be-
ieve, is already full, and within the last
few days has been mustered into service,
ana as soon a. arms and equipments ar
rive, will be ready for the duty assigned
them. But there is one thing that we
wish to notice in connection with this
matter, and that is the feeling that seems
to prevail in parts remote from the from.
tier, in regard to the necessity of the pro.
lection we ask. Our company here vas
reduced to about fifty one men exclud-
ing many who had enlisted, and who were
actually needed for eur protection, under
the belief that it was a scheme Of specu'
lation, and that there was no Immediate
danger to be apprehended. We think the
people themselves are the best Judges in
this matter, and if We need any protec.
ton at all, we certainly need, at least, all
that has been allowed US by the State
without any reduction in numbers by the
officers mastering into service. That we
are in danger here from Indian depreda,
sions there is no doubt in the minds of the
people who live here, and the deserted
homes and depopulated settlements Of this
frontier carry with them the most forcible
conviction of the immediate necessity for
the most prompt and energetic measures
of defense.
The injury that has already been done
to this country it will take years of pros
perity to repair, and unless the tide Of
reverses be arrested at once and feeling
Of present security, at least be restored,
it is but reasonable to presume that our
disasters have not yet reached their cli'
max. 1t is wrong that the people here
should be charged with mercsnary motives
in asking for protection, by these who
judge of our danger from the present
quiet that they observe in stopping a few
days in Sioux City. We regard it as little
less than presumption in any one indivi-
dual to oppose his single Judgment against
the united wishes and feelings Of whole
community. We speak withou, any aspe
rity, and with no feeling of discour,esy
toward any gentleman to whom this may
be supposed to apply, but we speak it, as
we believe it to be, the sentiment Of the
people of this community. .G ....
We hope that the companies first order
ed here will be promptly sent, and the
company here be permitted to I'LL up.

ELOQUENT WORDS.

Gen. John A. Logan, in letter declin.

State at large, before the Illinois State
Union Convention. dated 26th ul,, says:

Whatever means it may be necessary TO
adopt, whatever local interest it may effect
or destroy, is no longer an affair of mine.
If any locality or section suffers or is
wronged in the prosecution of the war, |
am sorry for it, but say it must not be
needed now, for we are at war for the pres

rectltied when the present breach has been
cemented forever.

and are emanations of the lofliest patriot.

The Episcopal Church tn Iowa.

From Bisnor LEES ADDRESS 1t is my
constant prayer that our clergy may set
forth, both by their preaching and living,
the precious truth as it is in Jesus, and
faithfully declare all the counsel o. God !;
and that our people may be erninent as
disciples Of Christ, living above the world,
spiritual minded walking closely with
God and doing only such things as are
pleasing to his sight Bus while say and
lee! this, also say and feel that we shall
not be stable and strong AZ Church, an
less we consistently adhere to our own
ecclesiastical riuciples, and have eur
people we'll instructed and indoctri na,ed
in the same, that they may be Intelligent
and fixed in their views as Lpis3op.ians,
as well as eArnest and devoted in their
piety rs Christians. lay claim to no
extravagant or extreme views III regard to
their outward polity and order Of the
Church Of my affections; but it is my
firm conviction that if we would make a
decided Impression upon the community
in which our lot is cast-an impression
that will tell upon the best interests Of the
Church in years and generations to come,
as well as during the brief period Of our
personal labors Church must be pre-.
scented in is integrity, both in its doctriu-
al system aud lis ecclesiastical claims and
we must make no concessions or COM
promises that are inconsistent with that
system OF with those claims. We must
set forth the simple Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
IN connection with those constitutional, lit
ureical, aud canouical arrangem-n which
have, in their essential particulars, come
down to Us from a remote and venerable
antiquity, and which, as we Believe, are
preeminenllv calculated to preserve and
extend the thruth Of God, and transmit it
in its entireness and purify even unto the
end Of the world.
But my dear brethren while thus
speak, and while have deep and growing
convictions that il our Church is to be.
come strongly influential in this portion Of
the land, it must be established in its in
integrity, and by iudicious enforce
ment Of its distinctive cisims; am yet
no advocate of bigoted, harrow minded,
or intolernnt Guardianship, or Of any
views Of the Church which are inconsist'
ent with the most simple trust in the Sa'
vior, and by which a personal interest in
him is in danger of being ever Swallowed

THE PROSPECT.
The most cheering reports come to us

The most cheering reports come to US
from all portions of this Judicial District.
1t is fixed fact that Mr.. CuRRlER will be
elected by large majority. Old men and
young are at work. Men who never enter.
ed into election matters before are at work
for Mr.. COURIER, and are doing with their
might what they can to preserve the char
acter and responsibility Of the Bench Of
this District
The people seem determined thata GER
tain clique who have sought to control
the destinies Of this portion Of Iowa, shall
not foiss upon them for District Judge a
man not possessing the first requisite tor
the position.
As we have before stated, we have no
objections to Mr.. PESDLEToN as a man.
but we do insist that he is not capable
to perform the duties Of the Office to
which he aspires. He has never had
but two or three cases in the courts
Of this District, aud in these he was
obliged to employ assistance We make
the assertion upon we'll grounded authori-
ty, and Mr.. PENDLEToN or his friends can
not prove the reverse, that he has never
been able, and has not the legal ability to
commence aud prosecute successfully the
most simple case in Justices Court. We
say that it is q burning shame, and an
insult to the Intelligence of the public, to
place a man before them for their sutfra-
ges aud ask them to elevate him to the
honorable and responsible position Of Dis
trio, Judge, when he is no more qualified
&c perform its duties than l. PENDuEroN.
1t is useless and unnecessary to com
pare the merits Of the two candidates.
Mr.. COURIER is known throughout the dis
trict. He has p:acticed in nearly every
sounty lis II sound lawyer, and is every
way capable TO fill the position to which
he aspires. -..
