>teele's army has driven the rebels from

n@- The New York Times has been
examining the statistics carefully to find
the relative proportions of soldiers fur
nished by the States of the Union yet
loyal to the Federal Government. It
says:
In examining the table, we fni that,
previous to the call of last week, the
number of soldiers due on former calls
from the, Eix New England States was
eight thousand FIVE hundred and four !;
from the Middle States, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, one hun
dred thousand four hundred and ninety
five; and from the FIVE Border States.
Delaware Maryland. Western Virginia,
Kentucky and Missouri, thirty-three
thousand eight hundred and sixty-seyen,
while in, the Western States there was
an aggregate credit Of forty.oue thousand
six hundred and ninety. Regard being
had to the ratiosof the population, ths
deficiency in the Border States is about
twelve and half out OF a thousand; in
the Middle States about ten out Of d
thousand III New England about two
and Q half out of o thousand while in
the Western States there is q positive

COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA, SATURDAY, APRIL 1s, 1864. "
f7~ We received q :. nigh toned . II

. ET We received o $ high toned I" let
ter this morning from, an indignant EN-.
ployee Of the Western Stage Company,
giving as |" particular Ats I" for having ex
pressed our Dissatisfaction with the way
the western has been running
things" for the past year. We are very
sorry that we have hurt any body's " feel.
ings, and il may be that ws are naista J
ken IN our view of the case--that the
company Is excusable, under the circunn
stances, for the miserable manner In
which they have carried-or safled to
earry-the mails in western Iowa; it
may BE that they have done the best they
could, but we "ean't SEQ it.' There is
not, In the whole North >west, an huns
dred and tifty miles of better road than
that from here TO Des Moines, and the
only reason why the mails Should be be-
hind time il chat they have too MANY
passengers to carry, on account Of which
fact their stock has to work too hard.
and cannot make the time" Well.
this is the best reason in the world WHY
they should put on more stoek-hase q
force adequate TO the work to. be done.
The company is rich--abundantly able
to stock its road decently, and fulfil its
contracts; but having monopoly of all
the husiness-no opposition-the mana
gers are Independent and careless-if-
passengers don't like their style, the,
needn't ride" is virtually the answer to
all complaints. The company was we'll
with the road and the char
aeter OF theserrice when ii took the con-
tract Of carrying the mail from here to
Des Moines in thirty hours and for
few trips at first it made the time but
latterly, from forty>eight to sixty hours
is the regular time. We know it is utterly
useless for passengers or newspapers to
complain to the company Of this imposi>
tion, for it has monopoly Of the travel
and knows that people must endure it or
mot ride" But the United States Gov
ernment has the power to bring even
the Western Stage Company to time"
1t is the duty of the government Is see
that her citizens are not imposed upon
in this manner, by mail contractors and
ifa company of men are roundly paid BY
the government for carrying the mails
in a certain. specified time, it is the duty
Of the government to see that they do it.
We are always ready to make reasonable
excuses for bad weather and rough roads
and have not complained when our fnaii>
have arriy el one or two days behind fol
a week at a time, but when they are de-
lsyed II such manner oil tte i53.. W.
cannot refrain from expressing our OBJ
lection to such a course. We intend 10
carry our complaints to headquarters,
and if fnere is 81 God in Israel, we are
determined to prove it.

iisVing such of command, but this is not m
enough, they should be removed from,
the service sntirely-our expenses are
hsavy enough without being compelled
to support an army of these drones. We
are not surprised at all that the opposi.
ton should cry out against this unneces-
'sary burden the only wonder to us Is
that they have not howfed ten times
more. But we are glad to see indications,
at least, of change of policy, and hope
the time is not far distant when, if an
officer is found incapable of discharginp
the duties of his position, he will be-
given the privilege of resigning, and
compelled to accept it. ..,'.

ror Whom Should We Pray &


Much has been written and said in re-
card tothe proper objects of our prayers.
Il is persisteutly insisted By certain
eass that to pray for "the President of
the United States, and for the success Of
opr government" is bringing politics in
the pulpit, and, consequently, ineompat-
nile With religion, and in antagonism
Nth the dignity of the ministerial office.
spab men are either guilty of wilful mis-
rspresentatjon, or are unacquainted with
sbs doetrines and teachingsaf Christ and
Ii. ApoStles. When Paul was arraigned
bstore the Council, and Annanias was

make his defence. Annanias was dis
Dlessed with Paul's language, and com
msnded him to be >ntten Oh the mouth :;

Yet when he WAS informed that Anna
