As the Elders go about warning the inhabitants of the Earth to gather together, they should not commence with the children and the wives, but with the fathers, nor should they seek to persuade children and wives to gather contrary to a father's will, but if the father will not gather, then they should obtain permission to teach his family, and failing that, the sin be upon the head of the father.

High Council
Joseph Smith, compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith, "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith", p. 73
"the Twelve have no right to go into Zion, or any of her stakes, and there undertake to regulate the affairs thereof, where there is a standing high council"

"No standing high council has authority to go into the churches abroad and regulate the matters thereof, for this belongs to the Twelve. No standing High Council will ever be established only in Zion, or one of her stakes."

(I'm a bit uncertain as to what all of this means precisely.)
Joseph Smith, compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith, "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith", p. 75
"The High Council has been expressly organized to administer in all [Zion's] spiritual affairs; and the Bishop and his council, are set over her temporal matters"
Joseph Smith, compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith, "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith", p. 77
"...the Lord has manifested by revelation of His Spirit, that ... all the officers in the land of Clay County, Missouri, belonging to the Church, are more or less in transgression, because they have not enjoyed the Spirit of God sufficiently to be able to comprehend their duties respecting themselves and the welfare of Zion ... that they should let the High Council, which is appointed of God and ordained for that purpose, make and regulate all the affairs of Zion ..."
Joseph Smith, compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith, "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith", p. 91
The 12 Apostles are not accountable to the High Council.
Authority Question
It seems that during the early days of the Church, there was some question regarding the authority of the Stake High Council in relation to the Quorum of the 12 Apostles.

This question would seem to be due to the nature of the calling of the Apostles, that they are traveling ministers, and their authority within a stake of Zion differs from their authority in districts and unorganized areas.

Since there weren't numerous stakes, it seems that the subordination of High Council for organizational purposes was less clear. Nevertheless, it seems from Joseph Smith's writings that the subordination of the High Council is not quite as clear cut as I would have previously imagined since the authority of an Apostle is not absolute within a stake. It would be very interesting to see some further writings on this topic.
High Priests
"The duty of a High Priest is to administer in spiritual and holy things, and to hold communion with God; but not to exercise monarchial government, or to appoint meetings for the Elders without their consent. And again, it is the High Priests' duty to be better qualified to teach principles and doctrines, than the Elders"

A High Priest holds the same Melchizedek Priesthood as the presidency, but do not have the same authority.
"A Bishop is a High Priest, and necessarily so, because he is to preside over that particularbranch of Church affairs, that is denominated the Lesser Priesthood, and because we have no direct lineal descendant of Aaron, to whom it would of right belong."

Home Teaching
M. Russel Ballard, "O Be Wise", General Conference, October 2006, Sunday Morning Session
Elders Quorum President shouldn't do others' home teaching. Isn't really home teaching.
Per the Church Handbook of Instructions, 1998, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders, p. 168 and “Priesthood Perspectives,” Ensign, Aug 1998, verse 53 is the foundation of the home teaching program.
"watch over the church always, and be with and strengthen them"
"see that there is no iniquity in the church, neither hardness with each other, neither lying, backbiting, nor evil speaking"
"They are ... to warn, expound, exhort, and teach, and invite all to come unto Christ."
These verses also make clear that it is teachers, priests, and Melchizedek Priesthood holders who are home teachers.
Elder L. Tom Perry, "Increasing Our Effectiveness in Home Teaching", Ensign, July 1981
1.) Comments for the home teacher.
2.) Home teachers are the bishop's representatives.
Encourages bishops and other leaders to relay messages to families via the home teachers. Notes benefits to this practice. (I would also note that the first presidency uses the home teachers to the same end and purpose.)
"assigning unreasonable workloads of six, seven, eight or more families has proven not to be ... satisfactory"
"it is wrong to assign to a quorum or a group more than the leadership is capable of controlling"
3.) The role of the home teacher with the father and family
President Ezra Taft Benson, "To the Home Teachers of the Church", Ensign, May 1987
Among other things, mentions that home teachers should be interviewed monthly (PPI's) and gives suggestions for such meetings.
"Above all, be a genuine friend to the individuals and families you teach."
President David O. McKay cited:
"Home teaching is one of our most urgent and most rewarding opportunities to nurture and inspire, to counsel and direct our Father’s children. … It is a divine service, a divine call. It is our duty as Home Teachers to carry the divine spirit into every home and heart."
Also cited by Thomas S. Monson, "Duty Calls", Ensign, May 1996
Elder Dale E. Miller, "The Effective Elders Quorum", Ensign, April 2005
"Active home teachers should be assigned according to need, focusing first on new converts. Total coverage may not be achieved for some time."
Salli Hollenzer, "Home Teaching the Single Sister", Ensign, Jan. 2007
Discusses special issues for those home teaching a single sister. Gives pertinent advice.
