Gen. MAcoMB, the Commander in Chief of the Army, has sst out for tho seat of war in Florida. Three several reasons for this are given ia the journals of the day. One is, that affairs have become so @serlous in Florida as to require his immediate pre- sence. We believe they will not be much bettered by it. Another is, that Generals Scott and Gaines are quarrelling about the old question of seniority. The third, and from appearances the most probable, Is that Gen. Macomb has got into such bad cdor at Washington, by his ''theatrical and ball room achievements" that 1t behooyes him to avert the eyes of the nation from his peace 10 his war establishment. It is un- derstood at Washington, that proposition Is about 10 be brought forward in Congress 10 abolIsht the office of Commander in Chief. It IS Tn fact a superauous one, and ought to be done away with.

Christian Charity.
From " Tie Nan of Faith, by a6ererombie."

It RsufsreM long aud is kim: 1t exercises
candor, indulgence, and iorbearance IN re-
gard to the conduct of others, entering INTO
their feelings with sentleness and kindness,
and making every allowance for the crcum-
stances in which they are placed, and the
motives and feelings by which they are In
fluenced. This disposition prevents US from
hastily assigning unworthy motives or bad
Intentions: It induces us to take the most
favorable view that we possibly can of the
conduct of other men, and, even when ap-
pearanccs ere against them, to endeavor
anxiously to discover favorable views and
palliating circumstances. It thus leads US
to be slow to take offence, to be unwilling
to consider injuries as intended, to be above
taking offence at trihes, and under real in]u-
r;es, to be easily conciliated and ready to
forgive. This temperament of mind is
strikingly contrasted with one which we find
so common In the word,-envious, suspl-
cious,and censorious,-ready TO be offended
by triffes, to construe accidental circumstan-
ces into intended insults, and to impute to
others bad intentions Oil the most frivolous
grounds. Such disposition is sourceof
wretchedness to those who are under its
power, and of ofanhappiness to allwith whom
they are connected; and we cannot survey
the distress which arises from ill-regulated
temper, without perceiving how much the
present happiness ofmen would be increased
by the exercise of that charity which suffer
eth long and is kind. -,
The kindness, whci, is here associated
with long suffering, seems to be distinct from
the exercises of benevolence referred to un-
der the former division of the subject. 1t
appears to imply more particularly a tender,
regard to the feelings Of Others, which makes
us studious to aysid wounding them by
iealousies and suspicious, bypeevishness or
iretfnlness, and by allowing trif!es to ruf!te
the Temper and disturb the social harmony.
Many, who are not deficient in deeds Of be-
neselence or friendship, arc apt to forget
how much the exercise OF true kindness con-
.s;s.s in gentleness, meekness. and tender
consideration for. the feelings of others; and
j. melancholy to observe how much real
unhappiness often exists in families and in
communities whichwould be efiectuaiiy pre-
vented by the Christian grace of kindness.

moisture has been expelled, the next object
is to keep it out, by paint, tar or charring.
In the mode recommended above, the Mol. .
turc is expelled by the peeling, saving and
summer drying, and its return is prevented
by the coating of tar. The retention OF the
bark upon the timber is particularly prejudi-
cial, not only in preventing evaporation, but
atiording shelter to various species OF the
borer, which, under its cover, carry on its
depredations upon the timber. We have
seen pine logs nearly destroyed in summer
by worms, where the bark had been left on,
while those whichhad been peeled remained
umniured. The best timber is obtained
from trees which have stood a summer, or q
year, after they have been girdled and peel
-ed.-"uAiuater.
We are told by a sensible and experienced
planter that log or post which has never
been split or hewn will last much longer
when exposed to the weather than one that
has. The splitting Or hewingg divides the
hard rings Of wood called tlss gram, and lets
in ths watrr,wbich causes the timber to rot.
On that account the ends of round log OF
wood exposed tdthe weather are the first
parts to rot.-Ed. CHI Gaz.2 -:

Fence Posts.

An excellent method Of rendering these
durable in the ground, is published IN the
Americans Eagle. It consists, l. In peel
ing the posts, and in saving and splitting
them if too large; 2. In sticking them up,
under cover, at least one entire summer !;
and 8. In coating with hot tar, about three
feet of the but ends, which are to be inserted
in tho ground-after which they are ready
for use. We have nedoubt the advantages
Of this mode of preparation will more than
remunerate for labor and expense. Our
reasons for this belief are briefly as follows
The sap of all non.resinous trees, will ter
ment in the presence of heat and moisture
and cause the decay of the wood. 10 pre-.
vent this natural consequence. the first OBJ
iect should be, when tree is felled, to expei
sup from the pores of the wood. Ihlsas
done by peeling, splitting, saving or hewlng,
and dexposingthe wood to the drying influence
of the sun, or at least of the air. The pro,
cess is facilitated too by immersing the wood
in water for a time, which liqulfes the sap
and favors It's expulsion. Ard when the
