force all who in their service to continue during
the war; without any regard to the terms of enlist
ment. They are hard up. The only chance to
avoid this swindle, is to desert under Lineolns

r1-c.-sion of the ~4th at Glenwood
The reception given to the veterans
os.ba oh heIowa Infantrylat Glenwood on
wednesday last was grand affair. The
1.ree Court House was filed with the
citizens of Mills county, assembled to
relcou,e their returning braves num-
ber OF representatives from various Iowa
,eeinsnts were also present, among them
rsntain Andrews of the 29tn. Sixteen
n the veterans of the 4th were present,
making in all some sixty soldiers. Able
and patriotic addresses we're delivered
by Reys. ToDD and HOUSE,. after which a
number Of patriotic songs were sung by
Prof. Orr and others. When the supper
time arrived the 4th Iowa boys were
called to take their places at the head of
the table, when three cheers were pro-
posed and given for the braves of four
teen hard fought battles. All were then
invited to partake of the repast-pre-
pared by the ladies of the county. A
description of the supper weuld be i'm
possible suffice it to say the fair daugh-
tiers of Mills had "a hand in it''-which
is sufficient evidence that it was all that
could be desired.
After supper, Serg't HILL called the
boys of the 4th to the stand, and they
gaTe three hearty cheers for the citizens
Of Mills, and the reception they had
given them-which said cheers fully con-
viucsd all present that the veterans
were not afflicted with weak lungs. They
then gave three groans for the Copper
heads, and if there were any of this per.
su&sion" present they must have felt re-
markably cheap. ~
Capt. Andrews then made a short,
pithy speech, and closed by inviting all
xho wanted to enlist to step forward
Some fve or six concluded to unite their
destinies with she army of the Union.
Everthing passed off quietly, in the
most satisfactory manner, and the even
ing's entertainment was finished up by
the young folks in Tripping the light

We Haye Grown, You See.
Our citizens, ever ready. to appreciate
and encourage every worthy object, have
generously extended to us an advertising d
patronage for the DAILY NospARgIL, sur
passing in Hberality our most sanguine
expectations. Instead of being com.
pelled to fill up thres-fourths ofIapace
with non paying matter--as has hereto
fore been the rule with daily papers this
far west every available inch of our
space is now occupied with ''liye ads, i"
and scarcely day passes bat the adyer-
tisement of some good -natured customer
is crowded out" for want Of room and
still they come" In order to give our
old customers their moneys worth, and
to make room for new ones continually
coming in, the enlargement of the DAILY
NoSPAREIL has become military neees-
sity." From and after to-day we
shall issue daily from this office, six
column paper-the size OF our present
weekly. This will give us the benefit of
four whole columns in gidth, while the
space gained in length will be equal to
about three columns. We will thus be
enabled to give full space to our old Gus
toners, and have room left for the &C.
commodation of new ones.
We extend onr thanks to the business
men ofCouncn Bluffs for the very liberal
patronage they have given us, and hope
to ever merit continuance of the same.
1t is we'll established faet.that the true
index to the business of town is its
newspapers; and with this fact in view
we desire and believe our citizens desire
that Council Bluffs shouldbe able to boast
of the largest and best daily paper in the
upper Missouri Valley. The NoxPAREiL
is already acknowledged the best daily pa
per in the upper country" and we in
tend, now, to make it the largest. If our
people desire that our town should be
favorably known abroad let them eircu-
late "the documents" No better adver:
tisement of Council Bluffs can be given
to the outside world than the DAILY
NoNPARErt- every citizen interested in
prosperity of the town should subscribe
for at least one copy, to be sent abroad,
for the purpose of letting strangers know
that Csuncil Bluffs is not beyond the
pales of civilization. We distribute quite
a number. OF copies in this way, at our
own expense but cannot afford to send
all that should be sent. Every man in
the city is as much interested in its pros
pcrity as we are, and we believe it is as
much yonr duty as ours, to advertise the
town. We will do our share, will you
help ?-Daiy, 29th.

The West and Western character are

States and individuals, a chance to dis
tinguish themselves, and nobly is our
State doing it; our history in connection
with the war is an evidence of our on
ward mareh as a State stands fairer
than our Iowa, most nobly has she done,
and deserves to be honcred.

Mr.. EDITOR

Nh. EDITOR:
Our Legislature is progressing in bus
mess. The House has got some kind of
railroad bill through, and it is now in the
Senate. What it is now is no index as
to what it will be when it becomes law.
It is useless to speak of its merits or de-
merits now; we will see what it is when
Eathey are done amending. While the
Legislature could with difficulty agree on
bill, the people~of Des Moines are all
agreed that we should have railroad,
and all along the route from Grinnell to
your City they are of the same mind
This State would make money by appro-
priatng fifty thousand dollars to the
railroad company, provided they would
finish their road to Council Bluffs in two
| years. The tax on the increased value
of property would more than reimburse
( the State for such an outlay, and the en-
tire breadth of our State would feel the
| impetus given, and business and prosper
ity would abound. We think that while
settlers should have their rights secured,
the rights of railroad should not be over
looked nor disrcgarded.
| The Railroad question and Sanitary
affairs have been the most difficult mat
tiers to agree upon. Whether the action
on these subjects will give general salts
faction remains to be seen.
Leaving things about where we found
them, let US look little at SONS Of the
men taking part in the doings of the
present Legislature
Hon. Lewis w. Ross, in the Senate, is
native of Ohio, has resided in this State
seven years; he is an attorney and coun-
'sellor at law, and weighs 40 lbs. Mr..
Ross is a man of more than ordinary
ability, has a liberal education, and a
mind we'll stored with information, is

ton. He is very judicious member,
attends to his own business strictly,

/ closely, approves and defends the right
and condemns-th wrong. His personal
appearance is good, prepossessing and
attractive his manners are natural and
easy, and his address pleasant and agree.
able; he is a perfect gentleman, in the
i full sense of that term.
Hon. 4. ]. Bell, in the House, is ma
/ tive of Pennsylvania, by profession
lawyer, and by occupations stock dealer
and in church preference Methodist ;
he is a man of respectable talents, liberal
education, and well informed on all sab
iects of interest; he is we'll qualified for
the rosition he occupies, is faithful and
effective as legislator, pleasant and
agreeable as o man, and needs only tc
be known to be.respected and apprscia
tied. Long may he live, and may un
