In the following passages, taken from a third article, "the Globe" handles both Mir CALHOUN, and its late fellow-laboror, the Telegraph, without ceremony:
 "We have heretofore spoken of the spirit of President-making," which occupies that time and those talents which are paid for by the people, to be employed in making laws. But we will now be more specific.

Expressive Of heart which knew no guel An yes! lis tr1e-l saw thy pallid brow Cold as the marble which conceals thee now From our embrace-whcre once we gazed Admlrlngly, where true affection praised The hallowed sweetness of thy melting eye, Which spoke in language soft yet high, Of holy feellngs-wlieh enchanneed deep The heart recesses-wherc they flowing, keep Alive its only pleasures, or its bangs of woe, Which those of decp-toned feelings always know! O. t was n touching scenc--when all around Partoolk the agony-when not Il sound Disturbed the stiffness of the dying hour Save the deep drawn sighs of angush-wh power Breathed forth to vent that inward, stled grief Whichbreaks the heartstrings when there's no relief heard the last low whispers of thy tongue, Loved one!-upon its dying accents hung With mute attenti0n-listenedt 10 that prayer Which pierced the skes--ior oh! t centred there When all endearng ties from earth were riven, To let thy soul escape more free to Heaven- To Angels with poised wings, looked silent down, Waiting to aid thy flight, and fix the crown Triumphant, soon as dull mortality Was shaken off What paintings 10 he free. When Heavens high portals opened wide, and light Burst from those regions on thy ravished sight To brighten np the path thro Deaths darl, vale, That OCT thy spirit fear should not prevail? But there was one from whom twas hard to part, To rend the tender flores of the heart-- So thickly woven, and so close entwined, That death alone could sever, or unbind. But the bereaved-likc ono desolate- Feels earth blank, himself m isolate, With none 10 sympahize in decp dstfess- A pilgrim waDderer in loneliness. Yet there is One who heals the broken heart, Who can to wounded souls, some balm impart- Calm the pcrturbed breast-say Fpeace be sill, "- When sorrows deep, ihe feeling bosom chill, Who mingled in such griefs, and dropped the tear Der human woe, and friendships sable bier. o could l see thy sainted spirit now Changed in it's form, with bright augelic bow, Wreathed with garland, twined by seraEh hands, The honor which immortal love dcnands; too, should wish to join thee in le skies, And share the extatic joys of Paradise. And breathe that air, which gives eternal bloom To youth, new rising from the moud'nng tomb; Full of fresh beauty, symetry and grace, Where light etheria beams from every face; Where friendship wreahed " withneverladng flowers, Reclines in peace in Heavens perennial bowers

Mir White of this city, from the Select commit tee on Coins, made two very interesting reports in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, of each of which, upon the motion of Mir Buchanan, of Pennsyyania, 5000 additional copies, were ordered to be printed The first relates to the relative value of goldand silver, which the committee proposes to establish at of gold to 5625 of silver. The ques ton of single double standard of value, is dis cussed, and the committee have arrived at the con- clusion that there be but standard of value and measure of contracts and that should be, in our country, silver.
 The second report recommends that certain for eign silver coins shall be made legal tender in the payment ofall debts and demands above the amount of one hundred dollars by ,oeigh, when containing not less than 10 15 dwts l2 grs. pure silver in the troy pound of standard silver at 116 1-10 cents per ounce.
 By this means the merchants will receive the full value ofthe coin imported the Mint be relieved from oppressive duty, and the circulation of our nation- al coin be eventually secured to the exclusion of all foreign silver coins.-Ne,0- York Gazette.

Foreign Ne,os.-The affairs of Europe are daily becoming more interesting, and every reader must look forward with deep anxiety to the period when the present disturbed state of the old world shall be hushed into quietness. Whether the condition of man will be ameliorated, time must determne-the voice for reform and liberty that has gone forth must bring about results important to the whole civilized world. Our foreign extracts to day will be found interesting.

THE TNTELLIGENCER,
WEDNESDAY, MARCH ea, 1881.

The Huntsville Advocate, in commenting upon the opinion expressed some time since by the Knox, vile Register in relation to the proposed introduction ofa Branch ofthe United States Bank into the Ten nessee Valley, says: That respect whatever is due to the remonstrance from the House of Representa- lives of this State their last session. against that tablishment The reason for this declaration is un- questionably very good one, and will surprise those of us, who are from principle Gas we consider the Advocate to be) opposed to the extension of power which must control destiny, and from whose whitening influence, we no safety for freemen.- Of the members who voted against the locatio on of another Branch in this State the Advocate mentions his alarming intelligence, "that majority of the same men afterwards, subscribed memorial to the President and Directors of the United States Bank, requesting the establishment of Branch of that Da nk in the Tennessee Valley at some place other than Huntsville, (even) before they had left the Seat of Government" Now concerning this transaction. we neither know nothing nor believe nothing, far ther than that such double dealing deserves to be exposed, and that the Advocate merits the honest thanks of all those who are from principle, in favor of, or opposed to the Bank. As we intend to wage all justfable warfare against this institution, whose grasping propensities we really fear will leave great proportion of this Union but little else than rags and bondage we trust that the names of those members will be published who signed the counter memorial in order that their acts at home and abroad may be judged of by those who have topay the cost and feel the calamity of such unpardonable indelity.
 In the long and arduous struggle which is about to between the rights of man on the one hand, and the seduction of privileged money interest the other, freedom will require rigid accountability from all her sentines; and the time is at hand, when she should know who are to stand by her "in the day and hour cf danger" It is great mistake to suppose that no portion ofthe State but North Ala bama is interested in this struggle. The manage ment of the Branch Bank at Mobile, from the time of its location there until the present year, and the late revocation of their orders in council to appease the rising indignation of our citizens, is warning enough for all the purposes of the which we have poused

 F' Ve zuiH be more Sf1eeifc StW. THE EDI- ToR OF THE TELEGRAPH was one of the principal agents in this business. Before the clesc of 1929, he made attempts to induce distart editors to come cut at once for Mir Calhoun, and pointed out the elements of such coalition as is now openly proposed by the Clay papers. The Clay men ofthe West, the Anti Masons, MT Calhouh's strength in the South, combined with the federalists of the North would he said, enable Mir Cal hov1 to beat either General Jackson or MT Van Buren!
 "Sueh was the notable plan!
 But afion Came the nominations in Penn sylYanla and Ncw-York, These were thun- der-bolts to the intrigucrs. The peto follow ed which prostrated all hopes from the South. The scheme of opposition to General Jack son was postponed, and the Telegraph gave a reluctant consent to his reelection.

 Really, as between friends, members and organs of the same party, this is very plain speaking. MT CALHOUN, the Telegraph, and all those Members of Congress who are disposed 10 second the Presidents rccommen- da!ion of an amendment to the Constitution, are denounced in the same breath. How ma ny remain, after this sweeping ex-communi- cation, to compose "the party" it would be somewhat difficult, just now, to ascertain.

GREENWOOD LAHORE, head Chief of the Choc- law Nation, has published an able defence of his conduct. addressed tn tho editor of the Cherokee PhGnix respecting the part he bore in negotiating the treaty for the removal of his Nation beyond the Mississippi A vlndication of his conduct render ed necessary from the repeated attacks of that print which charged him with bribery and treason against his country It will be borne in mind that the Phn- nix is printed in the Cherokee Nation, and purports to speak the sentiments of that tribe, which has at tempted to establish government of it's own, in de- fance of the States whose territory they occupy, and whose authority they encouraged to resist Missionaries and other interested white men, are the persons who protest most loudly against any change government, and fill up its columns with their own schemes of what is expedient for Indians. The tn- erant humanity of the Phoenix would reconcile it to bewail any change of masters fatal to the enjoy ment of those offices, among the Cherokees, which affords an established clergy very considerable venue together with an ndolent and irresponsible existence.
 The Cherokees know very little of what is doing for them in the Phoenix, notwithstanding the heather alphabet in which it is printed; and cannot com prehend why the fees for so much special pleading about spoatons and fraud of the bonds of their an- cestors, and money collected to educate and cvilize them, should find its way into the pockets of white men. Much less have they any wish to meddle with the of the Chocktaws, even as regards the late treaty. which will put the two tribes still far ther apart.
 Laaore repels the charge, that bribery wasresort- ed to orthe removal this people, and with respect to himself good faith to them, prompted the course he chose, as the only efectual of preserving ignorant and disbanded people from the worst of miseries. The State of Mississippi had extended her laws over the Chocktaw Nation and this act when enforced, would have changed the relation of the tribe, not ,more with the white man than with eachother. When told he no longer owes obedience to the usage of his ancestors and the laws of his clan the Indian becomes desperate and licentious be- ing. The mseries of subecting numerous, inde pendent, and indolent race to an entire change of manners and customs, for government foreign to their precepts of justice and equality, foreseen by the Chocktaw Chiefs, and they wisely concluded that emigration the best means left to ensure she happiness of their people. The impartial hsto- fan will justify Laflore for the measures he has ta- ken to provide better home for his wandering couutrymen.
 Mcintosh was perfectly satisfied, that few years more would have rendered removal of the Creek Indians unavoidable, and was preparing a com pany to explore the regions west of the Misss- xippi when he was treacherously murdered by a portion ot this tribe, who have had frequent cause to bewaH his death ever since.
