! Tna ALABAHA LECIsLATURE.--The House
of Representatives have passed the Sub-Treasu
ny resolutions introduced by Judge Smith, to-
gether with the amendments offered by Mr..
Payne "The vote" says the Tuscaloosa In
tcligoncer, "upon the LIST resolutlon--lhat n

AMENDE.-We were incorrect in stating in our
last that Mr. Henry Dickinson had agreed TO meet
Col Chapman Levy on the day he addressed the
people in this place. We IRE Informed that the
agreement between the two gentlemen was, that
Mr. d. should speak on the 22d ult. which he
did, and that Col Levy should reply to him on the
10Th following, Our remarks last week were
calculated to produce the impression that Mr.
Dickinsoe had backed out from the discussion.
This was incorrect and unjust towards that gen
tcman, and We take great pleasure in correcting
tho error. Mr. Dickinson fully complied with
his engagement Between him and Col Levy
wo undcrs,ond,1 tho most friendly. personal feel
lngs exist Notwithstanding they differ widely in
politics. Their bearing towards each in their
political encounters has always been civil and
courteous, and alike honorable to each.
tS3-We have to thank our neghbors Of the Ar
gus for a file of their paper for the past year.
We. are sorry that it is not in our power to Te-
ciprocate the favor. Our impression has actually,
in very many instances, been short of the demand
upon us, and we have not left remaining one
fourth Of our last except what is on our regular
files, and consequently iadspensably necessary
in our Office With the favor Of Providence, we
will Try, this year, to do as We have been done by.
We have had much bitter sparring with our
neighbor during the past year, but we believe
there was good spirit at the bottom Of it. Ger
tain we are, that no i'll feeling, no personal ami
mostly ever actuated us.
