 HON. J. F. H. CLAIBORNE,

 Col. j. r. II. Claiborne, formerly mem Der oi Congress from Mississippi, but now the able editor of the New Oreaus Jefferson ian Republican, has received tho appoint- ment ol Agent for the preservation of live oak and other timber on the public lands in se7 yeral o! the Southern States The importance and high responsibility of this office, would scarcely be inferred from its unpretendlng ti- tie; but 1t is in reality one which requires great resources of mind, energy of character, and watchlul indsstry, to discharge it's duties properly. All these Col. Claiborne possess es in that eminent degree, which will insure the faithful protection of the vast interests committed to his care.

 The depredatons upon the live oak forests have become so great, as to oblige the Go- yenment to adopt the most energetic mea- surcs for their protection and preseryation,- It is said that immense fortunes are being made by these lawless depredations upon the timber of the public lands, and .his agency will probably save, directly aud incidentally, hundreds of tliousaudesto the Government.

 We look upon this appointment with the greater pleasure, because, in addition to his l ability and fitness for the office, il shows that his services and exertiogs as the conductor of a Democratic press are properly appreciated; and that the claims of the editorial corps to the iavors of the Goverlment are at least equal to the rest of their fellow-citizens.- 1 Constitution
