Do We Ever Forget.
One of tho most atartliog and mysterious phenome
na afoot nature is the sodden revival of the recollec
tion of scenes, events and thoughts which had appa
rently been long forgotten. In many instances we
can explain this by the law of association; but not
(infrequently tne recollection flashes without warning
upon the mind. It la as though we bad been gaaiug
out into the blank darkness, which, lighted up all at
onoe by a sudden flash, should become a theatre up
on which the minutest events of our past life aro re
enacted.
Phenomena of this kind, more or less distinctly
marked, occur in the experience of every individual,
In his ordinary and normal states. But hero, as in so
many other cases, great light is thrown upon the la
tent capabilities or the mind by its action when phy
sical disease has induced changes in the conditions
which regulate Ha manifestations. The bodily or
gans, in the healthy state, seem to act as chocks and
limitations upon tno operations of tho mind, some
what as the balance-wheel of a watch checks and reg-
oheck — —
watch move in time, and It may bo the limitation of
the bodily organs which compel the mind to net in
time. A disembodied spirit may have as little to do
with time as with space. To all spirits, in their de-
K ,as well as to the Supreme Spirit, one day may,
le most literal acceptation of tho words, be os a
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day; so
that in future life we may continually live over ugaiu
every portion of our past existence, not piece-meal
and fragmentarily, but os an undivided whole; just
as the eye takes in at a glance the whole prospect be
fore It, no matter though it be bounded only by the
remotest distance from which the furthest ray of
light has come which has been coasting earthward
since creation.
Something of this sort has been remarked by those
few who have so nearly overpassed the boundaries
between the present anil the future life, that they
have won a glimpse into that “ undiscovered country
from whose bourne,” the great dramatist assumes,
falsely perhaps. “ no traveller returns. ” De Quincy,
the “ English opium eater, ” relates an incident of
this kind or a friend who was at the point of death
by drowning. At the moment when she was on tho
point of death, she saw her whole life, down to its
minote and apparently most trivial incident, arrayed
before her, os if in a mirror; aud at tho Barne tune
she felt within herself tho sudden development ota
faculty for comprehending tho whole and every port.
And be intimates that the possibility of this mighty
development is confirmed by experiences of his own
daring that abnormal relation between his spiritual
and physical nature which had been induced by the
owof opliun. Abercrombie relates tho case ol a boy
by some violence which fracturedTuo
state be underwent the operation of trepanning. Af
ter bis recovery he retained no recollection of tho op
eration or or the accident which occasioned ft.
More than ten year* •*•7 u ® w *s seised with a vio
lent which he became delirious. And
how tho faint traces made so long ago upon nia «vu-
•ciousness—traces bo faint that there was no reonou
to suspect their existence—were brought out under
the fierce alchemy of disease with tho utmost distinct
ness, and ho related the occurrence with the utmost
minuteness.
One of the most common phenomena in respect to
old age is the re-awakening of the dormant recollec
tions of childhood. Many cases arc on record of emi
grants who have left onr German fatherland, and have
sought a new home in America, at ao early an age as
to have forgotten their native language; but when,
often in the extremest age, they lay upon the bed of
death, those long-forgotten words come hack to their
recollection, and their latest prayers were breathed
in tb&t language in which their cradle hymns were
sung. One of the mostaffecting and truthful deline
ations in modern fiction, is that in tho beautiful Eng
lish novel, “ Mary Barton,” where the aged peasant
woman, when just passing the boundaries of the bet
ter land, lives over again the days of her childhood.
Carsten Neibubr, tho oriental traveler, father of
onr beloved historian and statesman, furnishes a stri
king example of the revived recollection of scenes and
events ao long past. When old and blind, aud so fee
ble that bo had barely strength to bo borne from his
bed to his chair, the dim remembrance of his earl;
adventures thronged before bis memory witii sucl
vividness, that they painted themselves os pictures
upon his sightless eyeballs. As be lay upon his bed,
pictures or the gorgeous Orlont flashed upon his dark
ness as distinctly as though he bad just closed his
eyes to shut thorn out for an instaut. The cloudless
blue of the Eastern heavens bending by day over the
broad deserts, and studded by night with southern
conitellatlous, shone as vividly before him, after tli
lapse of half a century, os they did upon the first
Chaldean sheperds whom they won to the worship or
the hosts of Heaven ; and be discoursed with strange
and thrilling eloquence upon thoso scenes which thus
In the hoars of stillness and darkness were reflected
upon bis inmost soul.
The case of Tennent, a well known American cler
gyman of tholast century, opens up many interesting
trains of thought; but none more worthy of conside
ration than this, of the sadden revival of recollection.
Be was attacked by a dangerous illness, occasioned
apparently by severe and protracted study. One
morning, after bis life had been despaired or, while
conversing in Latin with his brother, he suddenly be
came insensible, and, to all appearances dead. His
funeral was appointed, after the u*ual interval. But
hi* phytlclaa, who was an Intimate friend, refused to
believe that he could be dead; whoso conviction was
somewhat supported by the averment of one of the
persons who assisted In the laying out of the body,
that he thought ho bad perceived a slight warmth fa
thereigon of the heart. So earnest was tho physi
cian, that the funeral was postponed; the time was
again appointed, and again and again the friend
pleaded for a little delay—first an hour, then half an
nour, then a quarter—but still no signs oflifo appear
ed, and it was determined that the ceremony should
proceed. But just at the supremo moment, tho sunk
en eyelids were raised for an instant, and tho body
became onCe more an apparent corpse. An hour
passed away, and a groan was heard, and again the
bodyauukinto apparent death. Another hoar,and
there was another groan, followed now by slight to
kens of returning life. The feeble spark was care*
frilly tended, ana thepatlen! was slowly restored to
health. Bat it was soon apparent that nls memory
was a complete blank. The past was entirely forgot
ten as though he bad drank of the waters of Lethe.
One day, aeeing bis aister reading, he asked her what
U was that aha held in her band. On being answer
ed that U waa the Bible, he rejoined,—” what la the
Bible TI do not know what yon mean. ” In every re
spect, aa far aa acquired knowledge waa concerned, be
was a child again. Slowly and laboriously be re com
menced bit education, beginning A the simplest rudi
ments. He was one day reading an elemental? Latin

wholly lilted, and his put acquirements and experi

ing. Boring all this time, m he uniformly asserted,
he had the most Intense and vivid recollection of all
that transpired daring the days of apparent, or, as be
irmly believed, real death. He dared not, he said,
relate frilly what he bad witnessed in that spirit-land {

SAVANNAH. (JA.:
FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 11. 1853.
Qov. Johneoii’a Inaugural Address.
The inaugural address of Gov. Johnson, which wo
present to our readers this morning, will not fail to
attract that general attention due nliko to a document
of tho kind and tho distinguished source from whence
it emanates. Had tho people of our commonwealth
no other evidence whereby to judge of tho character
of ita chief magistrate, and his ability to administer
(ta laws, than the authorship of this address, their
confidence in his honesty of purpose, under a just ap
preciation of tho trusts and responsibilities which de
volve upon him, would be hearty aud unreserved.—
This address gives evidence on the part of ita author
of a clearness of perception, a firmness of purpose,
and an hamble reliance, worthy the head and heart of
ono called to preside over and administer the extend
ed and varied interests of a free and Christian peo
ple. The great interests of education, agriculture,
internal improvements, nnd the mechanic arts, arc
alluded to as worthy the fostering care of the Govern
ment. Upon these interests the stability of our laws
and our continued prosperity os a people eminently
depend, and therefore, in tho languago of tho Gov-
nor, should uot bo neglected if we expect Georgia to
advance to the stature of full grown maturity in the
exalted attributes of a high civilization ; and to their
proper advancement and future development we trust
they will command that wisdom in council, and elicit
thatprudence in action which they require at the
hands of those called into our legislative councils.
Our Federal relations are alluded to in becoming
terms and in a proper spirit—a connection, tho true
principles and merits of which cannot bo too clearly
understood ; and, according to the constitutional com
pact, too highly appreciated aud faithfully guarded.—
Aa comprehending the objects of government, the re
lationship of Individuals and States in that govern
ment, and as breathing an culightened patriotism,
the introductory address of Gov. Johnson is worthy
himself and tho people to whom it is addressed.

After onr grateful acknowledgments to a beneficent
Providence for tho complete cessation of the dreadful
epidomic with which our city has been visited, we
owe a debt of gratitude to our countrymen North,
South, East and West, whoso liberal subscriptions
have contributed so much to alleviate tho sufferings
of our strioken population. Next to the richest plea
sure of doing a good act, the smallest contributor
will have the heartfolt satisfaction of knowing that
every dollar has been made instrumental in relieving
the distresses of the poor, the friendless and the or
phan, and that each and all doserve a monument of
orphans’ tears, which, in their dying hour, will bo
more valued than *• storid uro, animated bust," or
the proudeat pile of bronzo, or monumental marble.
Not to undervalue the munificent donations from
abroad, but for our own justification, we must render
tliauks to those of our citizens whoso money, and
above all, whoso untiring labors were given to the
poor during the prevalence of the epidemic.
Besides thr ,,L - -• * '
le liberal donations-from nil classes, in
money, societies foi “
aud for the caro of the orphans, were organized
all parts of the city 5 tho ladies in and out of the
city formed themselves into sewing and other beveva-
lent societies, which still exist to provide for the hun
dreds ol destitute orphan children, whom the dread
ful scourge has thrown upon us.
The society known as the *• Howard Association,”
composed of some thirty persons, were occupied day
and night during the whole time, and the amount of
labor performed by them seems almost incredible—
8ome of them we happen to know scarcely had one
night’s repose for weeks, and many of them had
hardly time to take off their clothes for days and
weeks. We hope that no false delicacy will prevent
them from giving sorao detailed account of their al
most superhuman labors, uot for their sake (for they
have their reward) but for the honor of our city,
which even in this terrible calamity, has not escaped
the viperous tongue of slander; with some fanatics
not only abroad but at home, it was said to be a just
retribution for the sin of slavery. We should not
have alluded to this circumstances but for the desire
to state some facta, which will show who were the
persons npon whom the scourge fell most fearfully—
With but a very few exceptions, the victims were not
natives of Lonlsiana, or even of the Southern States,
but nearly all of them, more than nineteen-twentieths,
were veiy yonng men from the mere Northern States
or from foreign counties.
A member or the Howard Association, who has
lleved here for more than forty yeara—who was,
though bat a boy, at the lines on the 8th January,
1815—whose business bas made him acquainted with
nearly all of our citizens—informed ua that of the
eight thousand persona who died this summer, he
was personally acquainted with bat eight !
Wo got no contributions from England—and we
wanted none. The London newspapers, however,
were mindful of our distressed condition, and expres
sed their commiseration by uvago jeers. They were
welcome to withhold their money—but they might
have spared their crocodile lamentations and piotu
horror at the yacht regatta on the seaboard near onr
city. If each things were so sacrilegious here; bow
coaid they ever dare to be gay and happy in London
—where the average annual norabor or deaths, from
starvation alone, amounts to 13,0001—and from that
point up in the scale of misery and poverty, the num
bers increase in geometrical ratio.
we will be pardoned this allusion: for, thongb the
patience of Job waa proverbial, we find that when
hla pretended friends came round him to upbraid and
taunt him. even As replied with no small degree of
dignified asperity, fpr which be has never been cen
sured.

No spot upon the globe, embtacmg an equal area of terri

We have Just reason to bo proud of our advancement in
facilities for rapid transport and travel. Their success has
removed the prejudices which, for a time, impeded their
construction, nnd gives augury of the prosperity and glory
with which they are destined to crown our State. Whilst,
therefore, we should not loso sight of a wise economy, we
should be prompted by a liberal forecast, to foster our sys
tem of internal improvements In every legitimate way. It
will hasten the development of our resources, augment the
value of our lands, tlx our populat on and strengthen our
social bonds.

and. under proper manngement.it is destined to empty into
her lap the riches of the great western valley*. It has cost
five millions of dollar*. It is the common property of the
people—the result of their common adventure and enter

It seems, therefore, that tho establishment of a well ill
gested system of public education, the development of our
boundless mineral and agricultural resources, tho comple
tion ot our schemes for laternal Improvements, the proper
administration of the Westorn nnd Atlantic Railroad, nnd
tho encouragement of the mechanic arts, demand tho im

It must not bo expected, hnwevor, that those great ob

tho public good, suggested bjr a wise forecast, and that it
exacts from each in proportion to ills ability to pay. Bo
these our landmarks in raising and disbursing money.
The relation between tho General and State Government*
points out the rule of strict construction of the Constltu

To tho Southern State* the observance of tills rule 1* es
pecially important. The institution of domestic slavery is
peculiar to thorn. It is a part of their social, as well as their
political structure. It is recognized and protected by the

ment. The agitation and heart-burning of the past must
suffice—certainly so fur as Georgia is concerned. For. in
acquiescing in the ‘ Cbmpromfie Jfcaiures ” of 1850, she has
distinctly put tho Federal Government and its authorities
upon terms. Hho has said, it mwt be a fimtl settlement; ffinf

Health of Newport.
It is with more lhan ordinary feelings of pleasure,
and with the liveliest senso of gratitude to Him who
holds in His hand the balance of life nnd death, that
we announce that the yellow fever no longer prevails
in onr town.
Our town presents the business appearance nanal
at this season of the year. All of our merchants are
now at their posts, and are offering to. their country
friends large stocks of goods. Most of the families
which left us at tho breaking ont of the epidemic
have returned, and others, we understand, will do ao
during the present week. Our warehouse men bavo
so fordone a business equal, we think, to that of last

Fugitive Slave Case,
Philadelphia, Nov. 6.
A fugitive slave case was brought yesterday after-
noou before Judge Thompson. It appeared that Ed
ward Huddleford, of Georgia, has brought hither Ilia
slavo, named Shelly, and that the Abolitionists had
enticed hint off. Another party of Abolitionists, not
knowing that tite slave had disappeared, got out a
writ of habeas corpus, which was served on the mas-
tor, who replied that the slave had been sick, and he
has brought him to tho North for his health, and he
had ran oil’some days since. Ho was not now In his
custody, and was not desirous that ho should return,
being a most unprofitable servant. Tito cuso wo*
thus ended without the great question of constitution
ality.
Building Materials.
Wo have already noticed the condition of tho lum
ber trade. There has been an Important advance iu
other building materials. It was the general opinion
nmung dealers last spring, that bricks, owing to tbc
increased number or manufactories on the Hudson
River, would depreciate In value, but tho result ha*
been to tho contrary. The city demand ita* been
very brisk, and besides, there has been an unusual
great demand from the Southern ports, l^trge quan
tities of bricks, etc., have been exported to New Or
leans, Charles ton, and California, rendering tho sup
ply in the market at time* inadequate to the demand.
Thu supply of bricks, lime, and similar articles in
the city at present Is only moderate,and a further ad
vancc la anticipated this winter. The article of hard
bricks which sold in Jttnu last for $4,50 at wholesale
are now $8,26 a 0A0 per 1000. Philadelphia bricks,
used chiefly for facing, have been in active demand,
but without much alteration iu price. Brown stone
ha* been extensively used this season, but it has not
increased in value.
A large amount ol cement has been exported to
California, also to New Orleans and Boston, and this
article, owing to it* becoming more generally used,
has increased from $1 to $1,50 per bbl. Inconse
quence of its scarcity in the market, lime ha* in many
cases been used instead. Kingston lime has been
manufactured in large quantities and extensively ex
ported. Since June it has advanced 10 cent* per
barrel, anti tho wholesale price ia now 75 eta. Rock
land lime haa varied in price*, and i* now $1 per bbl.
Glen Fall* lime is held at $1.12^ per bbl. Lain* have
varied much in price. Early iu the spring they were
18s. per 1000. In June they wero 13*., and they are
now held nt 17*. The increase in the price of labor
ha* had !ts effect on the brick and lime market.
Lumber Trade ou the West.—The demand for
lumber in Cincinnati lias entirely exceeded the sup
ply, and great difficulty I* experienced in supplying
the market of that city. It U said that hereaf ter Cin
cinnati must depend upon the Lake regions, inasmuch
as the construction of railroad* through the pine re
gions of Pennsylvania and Western New York has
opened a channel through which the lumber of those
regions, which previously found its way to Cincinnati,
now goes to eastern market*. A writer in a Cincin
nati paper suppose* that this trade will center at Chi
cago oa soon as direct railroad communication is
opened between the two cities. According to the
writer, Chicago is tho third lumber market, and will
soon be the first on the continent. He also estimates
that the lumber can bo conveyed cheaper by rail be
tween the two cities, than by its present route from
Detroit through the canal, and that it will proven
valuable source of revenue to tho Chicago and Cin
cinnati Railroad.—JV. Y. Courier and Ettquirer.

Nothing to Do.
It is a common boast with would-be lino gentlemen
that they have nothing to do. Young men, whose
father* perhaps worked at the forge, drove cart* or
blacked boot*, as servant* of nil work at a country
hotel, profess to despise honest labor,and pride them,
selves on a life of wealthy Indolence. Others, born
of families that lrave enjoyed a competence for sev
eral generations. look down contemptuously ou those
later pretender* to gentility, and, like Spanish gran
dees of tho first class, think their blood purer than
that of other people, because it has flowed through
drupe* for a century or more.
Yet it i* the working man, not the idlo ono, who is
a benefit to the state. Tho mere consumer add* no
thing to the wealth of thu community. If we could
suppose a commonwealth wholly composed of such
persons, we should have ono that was impoverishing
itself continually. Just in proportion, also, as na
tions cease to be producers, and become consumers,
do they decline towards poverty and ruin. The de
cay of Spain Is an example in point. But a people
Unit is mostly or altogether composed of working
men, is always adding to it* wealth nnd enlarging
its prosperity. America ha* fewer drones than any
nation on the globe, and America 1* advancing In a
ratio that i* without precedent.
If it is a curse to a people to l>e idle, not the less
deleterious is it to the individual. Nature never in
tended human faculties to run to waste, os they do
when a man has no occupation. A life ot indolence
i* an almost sure precursor to a life of vice. To boast
of having nothing nothing to do, is actually to stulti
fy one * self. It Is to proclaim that the character i*
destined to deterioration ; that tho cause of civiliza
tion is to gain nothing in that quarter; that the uo-
ble purposes or existence are to be selfishly sacrificed
to mere sensual gratifications. In a word, it is to
substitute tbo animal life of the savage for tho loftier
duties of the man and citizen.
The boast should be, not that ono does nothing, but
that one never passes a useless moment. Every true
man wishes to die in tho harness, as Adams, Clay
and Webster did, and not to trlflo away life in emptv
amusement* or vicious excitements. Recrotation is
necessary to all, and no man can work sturdily with
out It; but a Hie which is all recreation is a ratal
blunder, to use the mildest phrase. It devours the
individual with ennui, retard* instead of advancing
his developments, contributes nothing to the benefit
of society, and often ends in crime itself. If a man
wishes to pronounce his own degradation, let him
boast of having nothing to do.
Solomon’s Temple,
Wo see floating through the papers an estimato of
the value of tho famous temple of Solomon. Tho
building, it is stated, waa only 150 feet long, nnd 105
bread. Its costliness lay in the incredible splendor
or the interior, of whicli the following account is
given by the learned Pridcnux :
“ The whole expense of this building was so pro
digious, os gives oue reason to think that tlw talents,
whereby the stun is reckoned, where another sort of
talents, nnd of a far less value than the Mosaic tal
ents ; for what is said to have been given by David,
and contributed by the princes towards tho building
of the temple at Jerusalem.if valued by these talent*,
exceeds the value of eight hundred millions of our
money, which was enough wherewith to have built
all that temple of solid silver.
But if we take tho valuation of the talent from Vil-
lipandns, tho expenses of the building and ornaments
amounted to £0,004.022,500 J The value of the gold
vessels alone was £546,296,203sterling,nnd theBUver
ones £439,344,000. Added to this were the wage*,
provisions, aud other necessaries for 110,000 workmen
and 70,000 slaves, for upwards of seven years; be
sides 800 graud masters aud 3,300 overeeera. to whom,
in addition to the wages, King Solomon presented, as
a free gift, £6,763.077.
Hence the treasure left bv David amounted to
£911,416,207. The princes of Isreal, animated by
this example, presented a still greater sum towards
the accomplishment of this glorious undertaking. In
addition to these treasures, Solomon devoted the
greater part of his annual income to the Bame pur
pose, and this was immense. The yearly treasures
imported from Ophir amounted to 350 talents or £3,-
240,000 sterling of our money, and his annual tibute
from dependent nations was £1.796,200.”
The Home Grandmother.
8he is by the fire—a dear old lady, with nicely
crimped and plaited cup border, and old fashioned
spectacles—as n lease nt a picture of the home grand
mother as any living hearth may wish to see. The
oracle of the family—the record of births, deaths and

evening logs fall to ashes—what should we do without

Opening of the Great Western Knllrond.
On Tuesday last the first train of cars with pas

rcacli the Bridge at 2J I*. M. There was some con
siderable delay in leaving, which brought them with

Kullronrt Convention.
In pursuance of a call made nt public meetings of
citizens in various sections, interested in the propos
ed railroad connection between Savannah and this
city, a unmber of delegate* from these two cities, the.
District of Barnwell, und the Beaufort Parishes, met
at the Hibernian Hull at 5 P. if., yesterday. The
Hon. W. D. Porter moved tho organization of the
meeting by nominating Col. Alex. S. Lawton, a dele
gate from St. Peters, as temporary Chairman, and
Geo. 11. Walter, Esq., as Secretary, which nomina
tions were unanimously received, and concurred in.
The Chairman, before taking hi* seat, expressed
briefly his sense of the importance of the objects that
had convened them, which affected the interests of
both cities proposed a* termini ol the route, and of
all citizens of the intermediate sections. He also in
dulged the hope that tho deliberations and discussions
of the meeting would bo conducted in such a spirit
as to result in action marked by wisdom and Justice
that would overrule all conflicting claims, and har
monize all in a determiuatiou to co-opcratc in execut
ing nnd carrying out whatever plan might be recom
mended.
Gen. W. E. Martin remarked that from facts and
suggestions communicated by various delegates, lie
did not deem it polite to proceed now in organizing
the Convention. The opinion had been entertained
by many that the Convention would meet on Wednes
day, the 9th, which day has been proposed first by
tho Citizens’Meeting of St. Luke’s Parish. There
waa not, accordingly, that full reprcseutatlon from
some parishes and sections which it was desirable to
secure, and which would no doubt be obtained by an
adjournment over to some hour to-morrow. He moved
therefore, tlmt when the Convention adjourns, it stand
adjourned to meet at 5 P. M., of Wcduesday, for per
manent organization and business.
Gen. Martin’s motion gave rise to several amend

Macon and Warhenton Railroad The prelimi
nary survey of a route for the proposed Railroad from
Warren ton to this city, was completed on Monday,
and Mr. Wm. G. Bonner. E*q., the Engineerin charge
and his corpB of assistants, returned on tho evening
train from MilledgevUle. The route surveyed passes
by Sparta and MilledgevUle, and is 72 miles in length
—and shorter than any travelled route between the
two points. It passes tho Oconee at MilledgevUle
and ruua through tho northern DMt of the city, cross
es Fishing Creek near tbo Macon road and west of
Oglethorpe University—runs to the head waters of
Camp Creek, crosses Walnut Creek one or two miles
above the Central Road and reaches the Ocmulgee at
apoint within the city limits, and near the lower liue
of the Cemetery. The country through which it passes
is rough and broken, but more favorable for the loca
tion of a railroad, than was at first anticipated. Let
the Legislature grant a liberal Charter, and the Ma
con and Warrenton Railroad will be built— Macon

The Administration and Gkn. Cars—The Ro

able articles in favor of Gen. Pierce’s administration,
lubliahed in tho Detroit Free Press,—the homo of

ble statesman, the Free Press save:
" The Advertiser's 1 assnranco'coraes from a source
not entitled to credit, It is not. perhaps, improper
to say that the articles in tho Free Press, in refer
«*nce to Now York politics, have met the approval of
Gen. Cass.—Chas. Standard.
More Catholic BiSHora.—At St. Peter’s Cathe
dral, Cincinnati, a few days ago, the Rev.George Car-

Emigrants fob Liberia.—The late James Ward-
law, Esa., of Fayette county, Ky., manumitted twen
ty-one slaves previous to his death, on condition that
they go to Liberia. This condition they have accept
ed, and a few days ago left Lexington Ky., for Balti
more, to embark for Liberia. Mr. Wardlaw provided
means for sending them, and for baring something
