Mr.. j. L. Dunham, General Agent of The
Homestead Fire Insurance Company, of New
York, the advertisement of which We publish,
called on US yesterday and informed us that the
only policy which that company had in the late
fire in this city, to wit: $500 on the store of
5. Myers, had been adjusted and paid. Prompt
ness like this establishes confidence. The agent
is fine business man, and is bound to make
friends for the Homestead wherever he goes. A
glance at the board of directors will show the
reader list of names which are an ample guar
antec oi the soundness and honesty of the compa-
nv. Such men as Moses Taylor, B. VI. Whitlock,
George W. Read, PalOni, Lathrop d Co, men
well known to Southern Merchants, and desery-
edly well esteemed by them, are enough to estab-
lish the credit of the Homestead anywhere. Add
to these, the names of the senior narnters in two
of our leading mercantile houses attached as
honorary directors, will certainly leave no room
for dCubt that this is in every respect. A. No.

Unicn Sentiments in Iowa.

Tho Honorable Thomas Drummond is Repub.
lican Senator from Benton county.
When the Coppie resolution was up in the
Senate, he used the following language to express
his patriotism
"Whcn heard of tho requisition ior Barclay
Coppie, did say that hoped they would never
get him, and that willingly and gladly would
subscribe five dollars to pay messenger to warn
Coppe of his danger. AS to John Brown, he
was one of Gods noblemen, and his memory
@ould shine in our history when that OF certain
Democratic Presidents and Ex-Prcsdents, who
had made him what he was, would have pcrsheu
forever
On Saturday, in the House, a call was made
for the Personal Liberty bill, in support of which
DR.. Witter, gray-haircd Republican Represen-
tatlve from Linn CO., expressed, rs his opinion,
- that the Constitution was constantly held by
Democrats as Il battering ram, but for his part
he didn't regard it. lie would pass Liberty
bill in spite of the Constitution and the Supreme
Court and no two-legged blood hound should, it
he could prevent it, take fugitive slave from
Iowa
Judge Clacgett moved to refer the petition for
4 Liberty bill to committee, instructing them
to report adversely, which was voted down by u
vote Of Al to 30.
This is what constitutes Union sentiment in
Iowa, according to the Republican party.-Des

Mr.. WilSon said that Gen. Houston had said thai
Texas had no right to the Santa Fe country sold
to the United States for ten million dollars. Mr..

The French Emperors speech identifies hi
own the policy heretofore reported as having
been adopted for France in regard to Italy
Whether Influenced or no by the reported agree
mcnts between Russia and Austria not TO permit
IL large increase Of the Kingdom Of Sardinia that
decision has been formally announced. Victor
L anuel has I.ombardy already, and may hnve
Parma and M0dena. but lie must not have Tus-
cany; and France wants him to give up Savoy to
her. Sardinia will then become Il co siderable
! Kingdom indeed, but not powerful or control
ling one, in the affairs of Italy The accession
of Modcna and Parma will give her about four
thousand square miles Of territory, something
over two thousand each, not more than several Of
the parishes of this State, but thickly peopled
as 20 contain about million and quarter Of in
habitants Savoy, which the Emperor wants to
take away, has about as many az Modona. which
is the largest Of the annexed Duches, so that the
actual addition OF population will be that of
Parma, which is about half n million. Tuscany
Napoleon wills to be n separate Kingdom.
This is following closely in the footsteps of the
first Napoleon, who erected Tuscany into II King
dom, by the treaty OF Luneville, in 1901, as one
of the first fruits of the great victory OF Maren
60. 1t was called the Kingdom of Etruria, and
lasted as nominally Independent until 1856, when
it was annexed to the French Empire of which
it formed q constituent part until after the fall
of Napoleon, in 18Th. 1t would not be surpris
ing if the nephew had it in his thoughts that it
may be yet possible to carry ont the parallel fur
ther, and make the new Kingdom an important
auxiliary, if not at last permanent appendage
to France.
But these are announcements of what France
purposes, and the Emperor wills Nothing APP
pears to be said of what the Italians wish for
themselves. What they would do, il left unfet
tered by foreign Intervention, they have made

NAroLEoN AND THE PopE.-The New Orleans
Crescent thus sums up the great struggle be-
tween the Emperor of France and the Pope of
Rome
All the mighty and wonderful machinery of the
Roman Catholic Church is in operation to drive
the Emperor of France from his position regard
ing the temporal sovereignty of the Pope. This
will avail nothing, however, except to show that
the priests do not understand their epoch. and
that the Emperor does understand his. 1t is
simply tins That the people of Central Italy
shall be recognised as entitled to govern them
selves. No foreign power shall interfere to re-
establish papal authority over the Romasna, or
restore the Dukes Of Tuscany and Modena and
the Duchess of Parma to their thrones.

Our kilograms this morning indicate that the
President of the United States and the Governor
of Texas are not eating out of the same dish just
at present. The governor talks too large Of ''rc-
yelling in the halls of tho Montezumns ION his
own hook, to suit the staid notions of his vener-
able friend on the banks of the Potomac. We
dunt see why these two great men should split
about such q nation as Mexico. Damon and
Pythias would never have suffered such triaa to
divide them. The President never received a
wound in the heel as did our Achilles conse.
aucnty hc cannot understand how sweet thing
is vengeance. The hero of Ostcnd never seht the
olive branch of peace to the rebel Cortnas and
received insult and contumely in return, rs did
he of Horseshoe celebrity thus he knows moth
ing of the pleasure to be experienced by wipIng
out the insult in blood. Then if the governor
can he worked up into such phrensy as to call
out Texas and the balance cf mankind to attack
the treachcrous greasers in their strongholds, we
should never charge the cost to the Federal gov
crnment. We should Of course have no objec-
tion to selling the conquered territory on condi-
ton that it should never become free dirt but
further than that. it would be no cost to Uncle
Sam. The affair would be purely a flibuster az
rangement, and no cause Of dissenson between
the light of the Colorado and that of the Poto-
moe. "Let hrothefly love continue ''-Item.
