 the JOurnal "f Commerce, l am inclined to think is rather erroneous in his speculatiOns upon the contemplated changes tn the post Ot- fee department. Although MT. Barry vii! probably resign in all this month, yet the sen" for assistant will hWrdly exercise the functions Of pOstassfergen during the whole Ofthe1 recess of Congtess. - MT. Kendall, you may rely On 1t, viii De indnctetf into the upper cabinet as soon as MT. B. lays down hIs com mission. What has he,s or the President, to risk by his immediate appointment! True the 4th auditor must relinqnish his situation in the treasury, department, and receive the higher trust, upon the uncertain contingency of confirmation by the Senate; yet, never theIess;. the object ofhis elevation may be ef- fect1alIy realized, without the appreciation of thai honorable body. MT. Van BuFen re-
 quires the. unscrupulOus use of this party en- zine no longer than until the conclusion ot the next session of congress; and tt IS well knbwn that the Iaiitudinarian construction of the consultation, by the President. enables him lO withhold the nomination until that period. If the Sepate reject Mr. Kendall, immediate ly after the adjournment, the president can reinstafe him. in his old position at the treas ury. which he will hold in defiance of one
 branch Of tie hpkoiniing power untiEafter the accession in fSkz. Should the office holders candidate fur the presidency prevail, he will then have nothing to fear; and if the candid. ate of the people succeed, he would be turned out as matter of course. So you perceive MT. Kendall will hardly hesitate to accept the seals of department, when the party take, for which he and the rest of .'the bro therhood oftOpe" that surround the vice pre- sidenf, are clubbed to play the game, is of ,.,ni, .~o~,;e,,dn mnd irnunrfanDo sNhn eOC. cess of lFie caucus nOuiination. at Baltimore. and the offices and patronage of the govern ment conseQuent on that success, are no mean prize in the estimation of set of tnen who seek. eleva ton f,sr the spois it places within their grasp, and who cry out instily for "re' fDrm'' for the ayowed object of trampiing on the rights and fseIings ofthose who differ from them in political sentiueM.-N.

 Timber Lahds av l1ains.--Fhere never was a time V hen Land aptcGiat0rs were going on to the extent trey now are in Maine. Spec ulators are pouring in from all quarters, and explorers are daily sent into the wilderness. On this subject the Portland Courier says {: |" Many have realized their ten, twenty, and fifty thousand dollars, and some their one or two hundred thousand. Suchfacts as these, which are becoming of frequent occurrence, must naturally produce feverish excitement in the community. Many will make spfen- did fortunes in this business; and many oth. CTS, perhaps, who go intOit blindfolded, and without due caution, will be ruined by N. It may be set down as a fact, that go"d timber lands on good waters have not yet risen to one quarter part of their intrinsic Salue:- For instance, many tracts have been soid ms winter for five, six, and eight doIhrs'an acre. which are known to contain more: than ten thousand. pine timber to the acre, besides much other valuable titnber. And this pIne timber is suld upon the stamp readily at S4 per. thousand. which- prndncea fn tha nATner fariy dollars an acre, leaving hiln the other timber and the. soil into the bargain. We know al person who purchased a tract of a. bout eQ GOO acres some three years ago, for which he gave SlO,OO0. He has since. with out any trouble to himself, received more than SO.O0O dollars fur stumPage, as it is tech. nically termed, that is for timber sold stand ing and taken of by others, and he now would not sell the whole tract for less than ten dollars an acre.
 No wonder snch facts as these should turn the heads of the community. and set,ev- cry body to rushing into the waters where such noble Ash are caught. But let us add one wordsof caution. These waters are as stunning mighty and resistless current. and must of course produce some eddies, and whirlpools. It behoves people,, therefore, not to rush headlong and heedlessly, if they would escape being swallowed up in the vor- tex" <. . .,de1sf
