 Mir. Tennent further informed mn, that he had so entirely lost the recollection os hts past life, and the benefit of his former studies, j that he could neither understand what was spoken 50 him, nor write nor read his own I name-he had to begin all anew aud cid not recOllect that he had ever read befor;:, until he had again learned his letters, and was ableato pronounce the monosyllables. such as tkee and thost. But that as his strength returned, which was very slow, his memory als0 returned. Yet. notwithstanding the ex- treme feebleness of his situation, his recol- lection of what he saw aud heard while in heaven, as he supposed, and the sense of di. vine things which he there obtained, contin ued all the time in their full strength, so that he was continually in something like an ec- stacy of mind. And, said he, for three years the sense of divine things continued so great and every thing else appeared so complete l ly vain, when compared to heaven, that, could l have had the world for stepping down for it, believe should not have thot of doing it.

 The pious and ccndid reader is Jeff to his own reflections on this very extraordinary ! occurrence. The facts have been stated and

 

 only ask, whether it be contrary to the re- vealcd truth or to reason to believe that in every age of the world instances like that I which is here recorded have occurred, to furnish living testimony of the reality of the invisible world, and of the infinite impor- 1 tance of eternal concerns. - Mr. Tennent was born 'on the Sd daxe of June l7O5.s>4n October, l733, he was regu. ! larly oTdained pastor of the Presbyterian Church, at Freehold, in the county of Mon- mouth, N.

 While the Doctrine of assocation-wbich. in the sphere of practical interests, is based upon a system of Joint-Stock Property,s Usi. ty of Interests and Concert of Action--has been advocated in theory in the North, some of it's principles have been applied practical l ly in the South, in the construction of Q great work of Internal Improvement.

 General Abbott H. Brisbane. of Georgia. a gentleman of distinguished attachments and I high standing, has constructed 8 Railroad seventy y-six miles in length, between the Co., mulgee and the Flint Rivers, with force of one hundred and fifty laborers, who, instead ! of being paid paltry amount of wages for l their labo:, which are generally squandered as soon as received, in Q useless and often pernicious manner, have taken the Stock of the Railroad for their labor. and are now the principal ownefs ot the Road. l This important work connects the Atlantic with the Gulf of Mexico. an object which l the General Government has desired to ac. complish for the last twenty years, but with. | out having executed it. e gar a. r

 Gen. Brisbane, while engaged in surveying routes for communication of the kind, un- der the late Gen. Bernard, had his attention called by that great Engineer to the impor. tance and feasibility of inc route upon which he has constructed his Road. Fifteen years )ater-that is, in l630-Gen. Brisbane deci- ded upon undertaking tho work himself He availed himself of a Charte granted by the State of Georgia a numher of years before of which he became the proprietor. He col. lected in the city of Charleston thirty Irish laborers, who were thrown out of work by the difficulties of the times, and led them to the field of operations there was a great many obstacles to surmount at the com- mencement. but by energy and perseverance, they were overcome, and the number of lN- borers was soon increased to a hundred and fifty. The General furnished the means of support-that is food and clothing-for the men while they were engaged. and they took Stock, as we stated, for their work some oi them possess two thousand dollars worth oi Stt.k. The time which they have been en. gagged in constructing the work is twenty months. and the sum of money which ha. been required to support the men is bu $l5,0OO.

 Here is a grand result; seventy six miles of Railroad built with cash capital oi $l5,0O0, and the Laborers owners of the Road! The cars will be run for time on wooden rails, which have been laid down and with horses, at the rate of ten miles an hour, until out of the profits of the Road iron rails can be substituted. e | This is however, but part of Gen. Brs- bane's operations there belong to the Road l75.OO0 acres of land which the LabOrers can go upon and cultivate: in the settling oi this land, the principle of Unity of Action and interests and Association will be applied Tracts of lands of 6.O00 acres will he laid out, oh which from one two hundred families will be located. The land will be appraised at fair valuation. and will, together, with the improvements, be represented by Stock divided into shares, which will be sold to the colonisis as they can purchase it. The prln ciple of Association, with it's immense econ omies and combination of action, will be ap- piled in the mode of building, living and household system. The land will be culti. vs.ied with order, unity and concert of action by the members of the Colony. Let Real Estate be represented by Stock, and subjected to a unitGry and combined sys. \ tenn of cultivation, instead of the miserable, | msmanaged, incoherent system of isolated l families, and the greatest improvements in Agriculture will be Introduced. The Stock may be sold and change hands. but the land
