ton wars against faction; rival leaders are
struggling, not 50 much for the public good
as to circumvent each other; the hatreds OF

able to charm down, are breaking out with
all their ancient fierceness. s The recent
treaty with France. by which the capital is

excited angry discussions aud sroused into

in league with her enemies and warning
against her prosperity.
More than this: he is charged with being
the mere creature Of the Emperor Napo-

mere satrap to the Imam of December
And there is, we suspect, too much truth
in these damaging inuendOpa. He has been
quite too much under French influences
for n sovereign who respects the dignity Of
his crowc. He bartered away the cradle Of
his forefathers in the cession of Nice and
Savoy TO the French dominions, and vir-
tuslly sold his own daughter to a reprobate
Prince, in order TO secure "a friend ut
Court" at the palace Of the Tuilleries. He
set the bloodhOunds Of war upon the track
Of his old friend and benefactor, Garibaldi,
1T the beck OF his Imperial master. He
made indecent haste TO be the irst to con-
gratn!ate that master upon the overthrow,
by French hayonets, Of free institutions In
Mexico, and to clap his hands over the in-
auguration OF q new despOtism among the
powers OF the earth. The Italian people
feel incenset1 that their King should play
such . degrading role. And We do not
wonder Al il.
Adjutant General Baker is anxious to
obtain information in the following cases:

there procured y pass to come North, but
there Is some doubt il he moved Morrill,
He might have been left at the 4th corps

count the money, and the intimation seems
ia, be that some one, q State Agent ora pre-
tended State Agent, may have retainedth
money. tits desired that any officer, agent
or soldier will give the Adjutant General
information in this cose.
If any State Agent Of Iowa has retained
any property of any Iowa soldier without
attempts 10 forward the same to the friends
or the deceased, we haYe no doubt said
agent viii At once be removed from Office
upon proper representation TO the State au-
thoyities. In all cases State Agents should
report to the Adjutant Generals Office the
amount received Of all effects they may
have Of deceased soldiers; and any diere-
gard Of this duty, we have no doubt, will
subject the agent to dismissal. and such
other proceedings as the case NAV demand.
Adjutant General Baker desires infor-

Davis, who are said to be travelling in this
State 70 settle with claimants against the
Lafayette and Indianapolis railroad, or any

gratefully received by the General, we have
no doubt.-Dav. Gag. Nt4.
