Total expen- diture to January 1, 1858, $5,955,588.49. Of this amount $500,000 was set apart for the reliet of the then pressing destitution in the Southern Statrs, by act of Congress of March, 1867. Fifty thousand (50,000 dollars was trans. ferred to the Agricultural Bureau for the pur- pose of furnishing seed to indigent farmers in the South, without distinction ot color. All subsistence, medical supplies, and quar- termaster stores issucd to refugees and freed- men prior to July 1, 1866, were not charged to or paid for by this Bureau, but were farnished by the Commissary, Medical and Quartermas- ter Departments, and accounted for in the cur- Tent expenses of those several departments, and include in the expenditures of the War Department for those years. They amounted to 52,590,755.72. Since that time all supplies ef that hind have been furnished and paid fer by tbis Bureau from the Congressional appropri- ation. and are included in the expenditures as stated above.

[Editorial Correspondence of the Star.) Councit BLurrs City, Towa, Sapt. ‘ese. } We left Chieago at 3p. m. yesterday by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, arriving here at the same hour this afternoon; making 500 miles in the twenty-four hours. Leaving Cbi- cago in this direction, one enters directly upon the vast prairie, and for a long distance the Toad traverses a country as level asa house floor, and with scarce a tree or shrad in siztht. The only trees, in fact, to be seen are those planted by settlers in the vicinity of their houses; generally the cotton wood or some soft Wood, quickly growing tree. The ride from Uhicago to this place is calen- lated to impress the traveler with the im- mense extent of land—rich virgin soil—yet untouched by the hand of man, in the immediate vicinity of great railroad lines, and indirect communication with great markets. In the days travel over the rich rolling prairies of lowa the signs of human habitation are so sparse as to scarce dot the landscape. The gen- te slopes and swells, grassy and covered with flowers seem to have been smoothed and culti- vated under the highest art of landscape gar- dening, and the eye wanders involuntarily in quest of the castles or fine msnsions to which such magnificent park-surroundings would seem naturally to belong. This road, (the Chicago and Northwestern,) bas, however, been completed but a short time to the Mis- souri river, and this partof Iowa will un- doubtedly besoon filled up with seiilers, Near- ing the Missouri river the country becomes more oreken; the Nebrasica side of the river 18 distinguished by high bluffs, sarmounted by the ex-State House of Nebraska overlooking the City of Omaha, The City of the Sun Flowers. These Western cities, like the languishing damsel told of in song, dearly love to be called petmames, Chicago calls betself the “Garden City.” Why “Garden”? She does wonder- ful things, and beats creation in packing pork, shoveling grain, and handling lnmber; but why “Garden” ! This place calis itself “Coun. cil Bluffs City.’ Why “Council”! Waere- fore “Bluffs”? On what accoant ity”? It asa straggling collection of building, mumly frames, situated upon the river bottom, three or four miles from the river, and nearly lost to view ina dense growth of wild sun-ilowers. To be sure there are bluffs in tne rear of the settlement, but they are no bluffer at that point than elsewhere along the river. It ts three mules from anywhere to anywhere else at Council Bins. Taus it is three miles— through the sun-flowers—from tue Blutts to Omaha, three miles—algo through the sun- Nowers—to its down river steamboat landing, three miles, (through sun-flowers eighteen feet high,) from one of its railroad depots (the Northwestern) to the other, (the St. Joe,) and soon. It isa mystery to tho stranger why the “City” should hug the hulls so closely, instead of getting near the river as do most Western cities; but on wi ing the pranks cut by the river in capriciously seeking new channels through these bottoms it will be coucluded that the Council Blaffers have donea wise thing in keeping near tue hills, At this time the Missouri has deserted the Omaha side of its channel, leaving a wide sand- bar directly opposite that city, where boats formerly loaded, and is exting away upon the Towa suore at a great rate, This river has evi- dently, at different periods of its history, changed its channel at will over the wiole ‘width of this river bottom, inciuding the pres- ent site of Council Bluffs city. Yet, witn these disadvantages of position, the “Bluffs” has great aspirations, The Cou Biugs Nonpa- red” of to-day hes an editorial, in which it Says that “The progress of civilization towards the West, demands that great cities shall be built. The history of the United Stetes, commencing at the Atlantic sea-board and gradually and firmly reaching out towards the setting sun, fully establishes the fact that at certain intervals the tide of immigration halts, and population and wealth concentrate there.” Warming up to bis work, the editor proceeds to remark that “The fall cultivation of the country demands this. The development of commerce demands it. The requirements ot Bumanity demand it. Therefore it is an in- disputable fact that a large city—a Great Depot ot Commerce—a Oradle of Industry—a Norsery of Science and Art will be built at this poiat.” “Throughout the East,” says the editor, “there is a mythoplasm that cities standing on the eastern bank of Western Trivers are doomed to be second rate.” This humbaggeous and scin- @aliferous mythoplasm h® proceeds to demol. ish, It may be true of other western cities, but ROL of the “Bluffs,” because she ships ber pro- duce, not to the East but to the far West; to the Territories. Therefore, supplies will accumu. late here, on the eastern side of tne river, to be assorted and consolidated preparatory to being shipped westward. “This is the great advant. age we possess over the village of Omaha, across the river.” Here crops out the rivalry between Council Bluffsana Qmab1, whichina small way is quite as heated as that between (Chicago and St. Louis. Uouncil Bluffs 1s now the terminus of three railroads, the Chicago acd Northwestern rail- road to St. Joseph, (called all tarough ths ‘West St. Joe,) Missouri, and the Sioux City railroad. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pa- cific railroad will probably be completed to the Bluffs during the coming year. The Union Pacific Railroad commences at Omaha, on the opposite side of the Missouri, and it is the fond hope of the Bluffers to have the great passen- ger depot for that road and its transfer busi, ness and freight depots on their side of the river. Should they succsed in these aspira- tions, and above all, should they be able to in- duce the turbulent Missouri to give up the first mortgage it holds over all land titles on these Dottoms, then the sunflowers on the plains here may be displaced, according to the Bluffs dream, “by the golden products of the Pacific coast. and the skilled manutactares of Canton, Samarcand and other oriental markets." Itshould be added, in justification of these glowing anticipations, that some cool, clear beaded men, General » for instance, one of the leading spirits of the great Union Pacific railroad, seem willing to take unlimited stock m the future of the “Bluffs.” Politics at the Bluffs. Everything in the Great West is carried on on a big scale; and the political slang-whang- ng indulged in by the editors here is of a lax, Friant and gorgeous description, quite unknown atthe East. The La anes se Tanks as the leading exponent of this Western «freedom of political thonghi,” but the Brick Pomeroy style isemulated by 2 good many editors here. about. The Bluffs Democrat of to-day says, in Teference to a brother editor who appeared as a speaker ata political, demonstration here last night: “ Bryan was followed that 4 ri of raoee sane: Trae a called to mind. turtle with @ bull's head stuck out of its shell.

While Mr. Bryan was speaking, he so strongly resembled wretch receiving sentence that it was difficult to realize the fact that be was the Republican candidate for Congress. When he got up to speak, the impression was no better, nor did it improve from hearing his words.
