OCrTlio yellow pine forest stretching from the seaboard to tho mountains in North an! South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, mill Alabama is disappearing so rapidly that the United States Government has taken steps to arrest tho destruction. Its width is ffomsevehty-fivo to one bun* dred miles except in Florida, where it is less. -Since tho first settlement -of the country, aboot one-half tho forest has been deadened and the soil put in cultivation. Tho best pine occupies tho soil most desirable to the planter,' and it is- the latter who deadens the trees to got possession of the soil. Pines largo enough /or tho spars ofV first class ship require several hundred years growth/ In Virginia, as well as in North and South Carolina, the pines accessible for water transportation are nearly exhausted. Jo Georgia tho river, margins have been denuded, and Umhcr is'now hauled from ten to fifteen miles to the Savannah river for shipmant/ , 5 Tho Washing loa Union says; ' .' . . The French government al the present time is haying its orders for Umber filled by trees cut in Georgia, npdn tho rivcra that flow into tho Gulf of Mexico, and here tho rafting of limber .for miles acr oss the open bays to the .points where the shipping can come to receive it renders it exceedingly troublesome and expensive, and often, attended with tho enUre loss of the. rafts. With acknowledge of these facts, and doubtless startled by the rapid destruction of these pine forests, our government has acted wisely in withdrawing from sale (now for the .first time) her pine lands which lie upon tho Snwannea river, in Florido, with tho view of bolding them for thoir.lumber for the future use of.her navy; and it may now-bo seen —and perhaps too late—that this who precaution hboftld have been taken years ago, by withdrawing those piner lands in Florida which are situated upon the waicrc that liow into the Atlantic.

Spring advancing in a reverse direction to. tie current of the stream releases in succession the waters of the lower valley,- then of the middle sec - tion, and finally of tbe’rcmotp sources of its tributaries-m Ibe Hockey Mountains and bills of tbft North. / U takes 'over a month for tho floods to travel from the sources to its della. . ■ ; The total value of steamboats afloat on the mighty river and its tributaries, is estimated at $6,000,000 and their number 1,500 with an aggregate.burthen of riiore than twice the entire steamboat tunuage of Great Britain, and probably equal to that of all other parts of the world. It drains an area of 1/200,000 square miles, .which from its alrabst unexampled fertility, has obtained the title, “Tho garden of the world.".* Iri extent, fertility, -variety of scenery,-and diversity of climate, its valley surpasses any other on the globe.

Governor Jennings, I also knew well. His great forte, like, that of Martin Vnn Boren, was in managing tho wires that controlled popular elections. Still, he was hy no means destitute of talents, llis messages read well, and bo made a useful business member of Congress. As a publie speaker he was not admired, bat on paperho was a very formidable competitor, The Governor has long since been gathered to bis fathers. Governor Hendricks was; my early friend; gave mo tho first office 1 ever held in the Stale, and although 1 was elected over him, in X83T, to the Senate of the United States, wo were personal friends till he died. Tfio Governor, in person, was large and commanding; his’manners were very popular. He had a smile on his face atid a*warm ‘■hake of the hand for nil lie met. lie was not of the very first order of talents, but made all fully up by his plain, practical, good rcnsc. Ho nevor attempted to speak upon subjects ho did not understand, lie made a good Governor, and stood well ns a Senator during his twelve years in that body. He, too, has left us, and gone to his reward, at on advanced age. Judge John Test, tho father of Judge Charles H. Test, was one of the first Circuit Judges, and served four terms in Congress from his district. - Ho was ouo of the best lawyers of the Stale. His great forte was in sympathetic.nml'persuasive i appeals to the jury, in which lie was eminently successful., He stool deservedly high, both as a lawyer and statesman. The Judge wore a black suit with his queue to his waist;' He .died at a good old ago, honored and respected by all who knew him;.

STATE ORGANIZATION AND' DIVISION OFTAIl- ; / TIBS. ; I came to Indians in the spring of 1817. The political affairs of the State were then m the bands of three parlies, or rather one pafi.7 with three Noble, Jennings and iiefidneks divisions ■—which were all fully rcprcscntcd in the convention thatformed the constitution of 1810. Gen. James Noble and Jonathan Jennings were delegates. Jennings was elected i’nmdcnt and William Hendricks Secretary of tho convention. It was oyident to these leaders that personal political conflicts mast arise between them unless tho proper arrangements were made to avoid theta. It was then agreed between them to aid each other in making Noble United States Senator, Jenniiigs Governor, and Headricks Congressman. An apportionment \yas mado in tho .constitution to suit'all*parties. It was provided, at tho close of Section 20 of A rtitle-. 3, "Nor . shall any member of cither branch of the General Assembly, during Ihojtcrm' for which ho is elected, bo cligiIdo to any office, the appointment of which is vested in the General Assembly. Pro vided,.that nothing- in this Constitution shall he so construed to prevent any mem her of the first session of tho General Assembly from accepting any office that is created by this Constitution, or the Constitution of tho United-.,Stales.”-.There wore, throe judges td bo appointed for the Supreme Com;. Bach sub-division was untitled to one. Gen. Noble selected Jesse L. Holman, living on the beautiful heights of the Ohio river, above Aurora, a good lawyer and one of the most just and conscientious men I ever kuow. Gen. Jennings selected * John Johnson, a fine lawyer and on excellent, ihnn.. He lived but a short time, and after Iris' death, in tho winter of 1S22-3,1 named the county of Johnson for him in tho legislature, and not for Col. Richard.Mi Johnson, as some suppose. Gov. Hendricks named James Scott, of Clark county, a Pennsylvanian, one of tho pnrertmoo in tho Stale, a good Scholar,and.a finei lawyer. The opinions of no judge that has [been upon tho Supreme Court bench to the present day, so far ns I am capable oj judging, are entitled,to stand higher with’ the profession titan, his. He look for his tiiodel Lord HnnhviCke. A - strong common sense view of. the case enabled him'to select the grain of wheat from ;iho stack ’ of slriuv, and holding It up to (lie parties without discuESEing the chaff say: "It la my opinion that this is a grain of wheat.” ! ?

To the cold and breathless—to feel and speak not—this is riot the end of existence’to the men who have breathed their: spirit into the institutions of their country, who have stamped their characters on ; ,tho pillars of the ago, who have poured their hearts- jqtb the channels of the public prosperity. Tell mo, ye who tread tho sods on you sacred height, mV Warren dead ? Can you notstill see him, hot paJo and prostrate, tho blood of his gallant heart pouring out of his ghastly wound; but moving -resplendent over the field of honor, with the rose of heaven upon liis check and lhe fire of liberty in his eye ? Tell me, yo who make your pious pilgrimage to the shades of Vornon, is Washington, indeed, shut up in that cold and narrbw house? That which mado these metijlid men like these cannot die. The hajUipat traced (ho character of In* indeed, motionless; (bo eloquent lips that sustained it are hushed; but the lofty spirits that conceived, resolved; and maintained if, and which, alone, lp;such men, "make it life to live," these cannot expire: "These shall resist the empire of decay, AT hen time If o'er am) worlds have passed away; - Cold ih the dust the penshed heart may tie, 1 Out that which warmed it once can never die."

In respect both of Spain and Mexico tho Papal Government has shown ‘a wise and prudent spirit of.conciliation, which, it appears likely, will also bo extended to Piedmont. Although nothing.baa a* yet boon finally concluded, Senor Montes, the-Mexican Plenipotentiary at Borne, has obtained tho assurance that tho sales of church ■prop* erty .and suppression of convents already, effected should bb recognized. ■ Thb.conditions on which ,tho- Holy jSea makes these concessions, are not, such;as seem likely to impedo ihe cpndusipu of the concordat.
