The Adjutant General last night concluded arrangements with the Western Stage Co. for transportation of the sick and wounded soldiers, and with a liberality worthy of all commendation, Col. Hooker, in behalf of the Co., agrees to convey the sick and disabled at one half fare and the wounded in battle free. Thousands in the State will thank Col. Hooker and the Stage Co. for their generosity. – Des Moines Register, 25th.
