BI'L’DICK. While in the city of Savannah. la*t spring, I took occasion one day to visit what is called “The Old Uitizeft’a Grave Yard." It occ.ipio a large square in the eastern part of the tow n. ami is enclosed within a high brick wall. It is the spot where the early settlers buried their dead, and fo#many years no one has been in terred therein. The appearance of the place is forcibly suggestive of death and decay. Many of the tombstones arc broken and pros trate ; some are partly lifted from their founda tions and crumbling to ruin ; and the lettering on not a few is rendered indistinct—andon ma ny of the oldest entirely obliterated—by the silent action of the finger of 'l ime. 1I« re lies mouldering the mortal part of hundreds, who I years ago passed down through the dark valley ot the shadow of death, and here will they sleep on through the years that are to come, till the general awakening upon that dread day when the book of Life shall be opened, and all the nations of the earth shall stand arrayed for judgment before the blazing throne of the eter nal' .’ It was a warm bright morning when I enter ed the churchyard, and the green turf, swelling into many a mound, was arrayed in nature's gayest livery. A profusion of bright-hued flowers was spread around, while up the walls and over the decaying tombstones were creep ing the wild vines, clinging with seeming as lection to the spot beneath which sleep, some form in death’s embrace. The lively chirp of the cricket and the songs of the birds mid the foliage of the tr ies; were all the sounds that disturbed the silence of the place : occasionally a bright green lizard could be seen seeking protection among the sb rubbers ; and once a long, slender snake darted from the path way before me, ami glided into the ap.irture of a crumbling vault. In the further corner of th? grounds, seated upon a raised tomb, I dis covered the form of an an aged negro, who, with uncovered head and (dosed eyes, was back ing in the sunshine. Ata little distance he re minded me of a statue of “Old Mortality" done in black. 1 addressed the old man, who proved to be the “keeper" of the place, and he pointed out to me everything of interest connected thereto ith. From him I learned that strong efforts had been made to have the churchyard cut up by streets and built upon ; and he waxed both earnest and indignant in speaking of the fact, contending in substance that those who proposed the thing were little better than barbarians. Near the entrance of the enclosure my atten tion wit. arrested by a large, raised gothic vault built of very dark freestone, in the front of which is set a slab of marble, with the coat of arms of the deceased engraved thereon, below which is the following inscription : “Sir Patrick Houston. Baronet, President of His Majesty's Council of Georgia. Died sth Feb. 1762, aged 64. * * Lady Houston, his widow, died 26th Feb.. 1755, aged GO." Three large slabs of marble, side by side, re cord the decease of as many members of a family of extraordinary usefulness. The re cords ran respectively thus; “This tablet is in memory of Major John Berrien, to ho died Nuv. 6, 1815, aged 26. In early youth he drew his sword in defence of his country, ami served with reputation in the war of the Revolution." •• Richard M. Berrien Who fell in the discharge of his professional duty a victim to the awful pestilence which de solated Savannah in the autumn of 1820. Aged 25.” “ Win. Davis Berrien, First Lieutenant of the 6th Reg. I’. S. Infantry, died at Fort Brooke, East Fla., Dec. 2, 1840— aged 27 years." Near by, an imposing brick structure, facing the north wall, bears the inscription: “The family vault of General Lothian Mc- Intosh. of the Revolutionary army.*’ A little beyond, upon a heavy grey slab re clining upon the earth. 1 read as follows: “Under this stone lies the body of Thomas ■ Vincent. E«p. late Representative in the Gen eral ArxirL;* fur uiw towu Savannah, who departed t his life the 2d of Sept., age<l 59. He w.vsoncvf the best of husbands, the sincerest of friends, and " The stone is so v. orn away by the action of the weather upon it, that the letters cannot be deciphered further. Near the gateway my eyes rested upon a sarcophagus, the slab of white marble which rovers it bearing this inscription: “In memory of John Struthers, Esquire, Brewer, Os Glasgow. Al the age of sixteen, by the death of his fa ther, he was left in possession of an ample for tune and an extensive business, which he man aged with a propriety rarely shown in youth. Seized with consumption, after traveling three years for the recovery of his health, he died on shipboard, in the river Savannah, on the 24th day of I'eJ.vruary. 1790. in the 26th year of his age. To the inhabitants of Savannah, who paid the last hosors to his rema’ which are here interred, respectful acknowledgement* are offered by thoto in Scotland, to whom he was dear, and particularly by his brother and tuccsrsor in butiiuj*, Robert St rutht rs, of Glas gow, BrewerN This is very politely done, and would serve not only as a manifestation of grief, but as an advertisement. The next inscription which I read was one well calculated to awaken emotions of sadness and lead a contemplative mind into a train of reflection upon the mutability of human affairs. Here it is: “Man Appoints, but God Disappoints. Here lies the remains of George Cuthbert, Esq., who departed this life the 14th of April. 1768, much respected in his life, and greatly lamented at his death. He had just gained a point in life he had l»een endeavoring to attain many years, but before he could his behold him called away from whence there is no return." A small gray tombstone marks the spot where rests: “Mary Madeline Dennis Wilson. Died June 1, 1887. aged 55 years—a Christian martyr. Her Bible took tire on her breast; a few pain ful hours, and she slept in Jesus." I next came to a grave, the headstone of which had fallen to the earth, where it lay in fragments. It had sunk partly in the ground, and the green grass was growing fresh from the interstices, but I succeeded in copying the words engraved thereon : “ Here endures the fate of mortality, the I earthly part of Major Charles Odingsells; dur ing the Revolutionary war. a Patriot Soldier, and after its close, a legislator and Farmer." A plain white tombstone, a little further on. shaded by a weeping willow, was erected in ’ memory of one who fell a victim of ruthless • violence: John R. Taylor. <>f Philadelphia: a youth of exemplary de portment and flattering promise, who. in the 19th year of his age, when unarmed and peaca i bly walking the streets of Savannah, tons, on the evening of the 14th of Nov., 1811, at tacked ami inhumanly assassinated by an armed banditti belonging to the crews ot the French Privateers, La \ < iigvame and Ln Franchise.” The following I copied from a crumbling sar ! cophagus near the center of the grounds: •‘Sacred to the memory of Iknnis L. Cottineau de Kerloguen. Native of Nantes, (France,) formerly a Lieu tenant in bis late most Christian Majesty's Navy, Knight of the Royal and Military Order of St. Louts. Captain commanding a ship of war of the Unite! States during the Revohi- ■ tion. and a member of the Cincinnati Society. Obit Nov. 29, 1808, ,E. G 3 years.’’ He found a tinal resting place in the lam! he had aided to free, far from the home of his an- ■ cestors. Here is the la-t tribute to one to ho was cut off in early life, while struggling upward, and in the very act of writing his name upon the scroll of lame. “Sacred to the memory of Ed ward (’. Malbone, The celebrated Painter, son of the late Gen. John Malbone. of Newport, R. I. He perished in the meridian of lite and reputation, while traveling for the benefit of his health. His death deprived his country of an ornament which ages may not replace, left a blank in the catalogue of American genius which nothing has a tendency to supply. He closed his val uable life May 7. 18' 7, in the 29th year of his . ag<?.” A large vi ult more pretentious than any I j had seen, arose before me as I passed down the ' walk leading to the southeastern angle of the churchyard. 1 approached and read: “ Consecrated to the memory of Dr. Noble Wimberly Jones, Who died January 9, 1805. He wa* born in England, came over with Gen. Oglethorpe in 1773, at the first settlement <>f this State. Ik served as cadet and otiicer in < Jglethorpe's Re giment, during the war with the Spaniards and Indians at that period, acquiring his profc—ion al education afterwards. He was among the most strenuous assvrtcrs of the liberties of his adopted country, ami filled not only the pro fessional but the most important civil depart ments with much honor to himself and satis faction to the community.” The sun was getting high in the heavens by this time, atnl the heat grew oppressive. Therefore, taking one lingering look at the old •tombs scattered around on every side, I turned from the place, and bent my steps toward my hotel, feeling that the hour 1 hud passed with tin dead to ns one I could chvi ish my re- collections ot time well spent. POPPING THE QUESTION. There is nothing more appalling to a modest and sensible young man, than asking the girl lie loves to marry him. and there arc few who <lo not find their moral courage tasked to the utmost. Many a man who would lead a forlorn hope, mount a breach, and seek the bubble reputa tion v\en at the cannon'' mouth, trembles nt the idea of asking a woman the question to hich is to decide his fate. Ladies may congratulate themselves that nature and custom have made them the responding parG. In a matter which men have always found so terrible, yet which in one way or any other they have always contrived in some awkward way to accomplish, it is not easy to give in struction suited to every emergency. A man naturally conforms to the disposition of the woman he admires. If she be serious, he will approach the awful subject with due solemnity ; if gay and lively, he to ill make it an excellent joke; if softly sentimental, he must woo her in a strain of high romance, and if severely practical, he relies on straightforward . common sense. There is one maxim of universal application. Never lose an opportunity. What can a wom an think of a lover who neglects it.' Women cannot make direct advances, hut they use in finite tact in giving men occasions to make them, in every case it is fair to presume that when a woman gives a man an opportunity, she expects him to improve it ; and. though he may tremble, and feel his pulse throbbing and tingling through every limb; though his heart tills up his throat, and his tongue clea\cs*to the roof of his mouth, yet the awful question must be asked, the fearful ta<k accomplished. In the country, the lover is taking a roman tic walk by moonlight, with the lady of his low--talks of the beauties of the scenery, the harmony of nature, and exclaims: “Ah! Julia. Low happy would existence prove, if I always had such a companion She sighs and kaus more tremblingly on the arm that tremblingly supports her. “ My dearest Julia, be mine tore ver.*' This is a settler, and the answer, ever so in audible. makes or undoes him quite. “Take pity on a forlorn bachelor," says another, in a manner which may be cither jest or in earnest; “ marry me at once, and put me out of my misery. " “With all my heart, whenever you arc rea dy,” replies the laughing fair. A joke carried thus tar is easily made earn- A point is often canied by taking a thing for granted. -V gentleman, who has been paying attentions to a lady, says; “Well, Mary, when is the happy day “What <!a\, pray f' she ask-, with a con scious blush. “ Why, everybody knows toe are going to ; be married, and it might as well be at one time as another; so when shall it bef’ Cornered in this fashion, there is no retreat. “Jane, 1 love you; will you marry me f” would be somewhat abrupt, and a frankly given “yes!” would be short and sweet for an answer. “Ellen, one word from you would make me the happiest man in the universe.” “ 1 should be cruel not to speak it. then, un less it is a very hard one." “ It is a word ot three letters, and answers the tiucstiori, “ Will you have me f' The lady of course says “ Yes," unless >he happens to prefer a word of only two letters, ami answers •• No.” And so this interesting and simple process, in practice simple as it is in theory, is varied in a hundred ways, according to circumstances and the various dispositions. One timid gentleman asks, “Have you any i objections to changing your name ?" and fol lows this up with another which clinches its signiticance, “How would mine suit you Another asks. “ Will \ ou tell me what 1 most 1 wish to know ?" “ Yes, if 1 can." “The happy day when we shall be married?" Another says, “My dear Eliza, toe must do w hat all the world evidently expects m c shall.” “ All the world is very impertinent.” ‘ I know it; but it can't be helped. When i shall T t 11 the parson to be ready?" 1 As a general thing, a gentleman need never be refused. Every woman, except a heartless coquette, finds the means of discouraging a man whom she does not intend to have, before the matter comes to a point of declaration. A FIGHTING TURK. During the operations of the allies in the Crimea, it to ns resolved to carry the water in [ from a beautiful spring of the finest kind to the 1 camp. Leather pipes, or hose, were employ- ed, which were laid on the ground. One morn ’ ing, while the water was being supplied, the minaret >oundvd to prayer, undone of the Turk ish soldiers immediately went flop on his knees to prai-e Allah! Unfortunately, he went right down upon the hose, and his weight con sequently stopped the current of that “first of elements,” as I’inder, E>q., calls water, in his first Olympiad. “Get up," cried an English soldier. “ Voalez runs <icsz la bonfe. mon cher Jfon ieur le Targue" n Frenchman with his native politeness "to get up." “That an't the way to make a Tuik move," 1 cried another; "this is the dodge.” So saying he kniK-ked his turban off.

To the wonder of all. still the nnturbaned, well-kicked follower of the Prophet, went pray ing on a> though he was a foity horse parson. “Hoot atony, mon — 111 show ye how we serve obstinate folk.a auld Reckee," quietly ob served a Scotchman. He was however pre vented. for the Turk having finished his "Allah risen aliah," rose and began to take off his coat—then to roll up his sleeves —and then to bedew his palm* with saliva, and then to put biiiHelf ill the most approved boxing attitude, a la Yankee Sullivan. He then advanced in true Tom Hyer style to the Englishman who had kicked him on the lumbar region. “A ring f a ring !" shouted the soldiers ami sailors, perfectly astonished to see a Turk such an adept in the listic art. The Englishman nothing loth to have a bit ot fun with a Turk of such a truly John Bull state of mind, set to work, but fou:id he had met his master —in five minutes he had received his quantum soft. A> the 'Lurk coolly replaced his coat and turban, he turned round ami said to the admiring bystanders, in the pure brogue : “Bad luck to ye, ye spalpeens; when yere afther kicking a Turk, I'd advise ye the next time to jist be sure he's not an Irishman !" The mystery was solved—our Turk was a Tipperary man ! GOD-WARD AND MAN-WARD. “Men know that Christianity, if it is any thing, is a life ; and that a man may pack away serially, the Thirty-Nine Articles in his brain, that he may be a walking edition of the Cate chism, that lie may contend fiercely for the faith ; as he ha* received it, that he may pursue the rats ofheresy with ascent as keen as that of a Scotch terrier, and persecute the man in whom his judgment distempered and presuming he has marked as a heretic, and yet be as vindictive j and selfish and foul, as man can be. The world w ishes for better fruits, and w hen these fruits shall manifest themselves, the propagators of Christianity w ill have less occasion to bemoan the lack of progress which their cause is mak ing among men. ’ The above paragraph, though a part of a re- 1 buke administered by the Springfield Republi ca:i. a secular paper, to the conductors of cer tain religious journals, i> worth the reading of all who bear the Christian name.

THE PAR OF EXCHANGE. Just now. w hen we hear so much of Sterling Exchange, ami the ditHculty of negotiating it, many of our readers may be interested in know ing what is the par ot exchange. It is thus stated by the New York Mirror: “The par of exchange is determined by the relative proportion of pure metal in the coined piece w hich forms the unit of price in the dif ferent commercial countries of the world. The alloy is reckoned of no value. “To simplify the matter as much as possible, we w ill waive all consideration of the differ ent standards of fineness, and state that our American dollar contains 23 22 100 grains of pure gold, and the British sovereign 1 13 grains of the same. Every reader may not know that the sovereign is the coined piece of which the pound sterling is the money of account. A simple calculation in the rule of three, there fore. determines that the equivalent of the pound .-tcrling is $4 86 65-limos our currency. “Thus as 23 22 I<”> is to one so is 113 to $4 86 65-100. But the English, through all the variations of the mint laws, here and else where—indeed for ages—have been accustom ed to value their pound sterling by the old Spanish < arolus pillar dollars, now entirely out of circulation in Europe and America, hav ing all been sent to China, or gone into the melting pot. Ot these 144 44-100 were equivalent to the pound sterling. It will be seen that it requires the addition of 9 1-2 per cent., with a scarcely appreciable fraction, to make the piociit value of the pound sterling in our currency. Thus, £4 44 44-100 Add 9 1-2 per cent, premium of exchange, 42 22-100 $4 86 66 200 “It may be well to explain that, when noth ing is said to the contrary, the quotations of sterling exchange are by custom for bills at 60 days sight: which, at Hie legal rate of interest here involves a loss of one per cent., besides the time of transmission. But, on the otherhand, at the most favorable rate of shipping specie, one per cent., is the cost, including insurance, of laying it down in Liverpool, the time lost in transmission being the same in either ease. Thus, as one of these items balances the other, the true par exchange is 9 1-2 per cent on Eng land. at which rate generally it is as well to re mit good 60-das bills as specie." Bri’.xs.—Burns, in his autobiography, in forms us that a life of Hannibal, which he read when a boy, raise d t ■ ; -t stirrings of his en tliHsiiHiii: and he . ‘hi-, w ith his own fervid expre-sion, that • th Life of Sir William Wal lace poured a tide of Scottish prejudices into his win- whic h w • ild boil along them till the floodgates of lif were shut in eternal rest.” He adds, -peaking of his retired life in early youth, “ This kind of life, the cheerless gloom of a hermit, and the toil of a galley slave, brought me to my sixteenth year, when lore mettle me a poet.

Mr. Dawson’s Lf.cti re.—We regretted our inability to attend the lecture of Alexander H. IL Daw son, Esq., “Knight of Mt. Vernon," de livered in the Town Hall on Friday evening last, in aid of the “IJulies' Mt. Vernon Associ ation." Those who heard it. speak of it in high terms of praise. Mr. Dawson, we are satisfied, possesses great ability ns a public lec turer, and the holy cause in which he is em barked, an effort to save the home and grave of Washington from desecration, should commend his lectures favorably to the public. The La dies, in particular, aught to hear him wherev er he goes; as, we understand, his eulogy on woman was one of the striking features of his lecture here. — Athens W atchman. Oct. 29.

Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and other IHstasts nf the Chest and Throat, success fully treated by the Jn hala tion of Medicated Vapors and Jitu>lers, by Alntorp tion and Constitutional Treatment, as practiced at the Stuyresant Medical Lnditutt, New York City. fJ SHE 5 HE unprecedented success which has attended 1 this method of treatmg 4 diseases of the Lungs and Throat, has induced us to depart from our usual course and avail ourselves of the cohymis of the Press, in order to bring it to the knowledge of such as may be laboring under, or predisposed to such affections. The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for the consumptive; the doctrine of the incurability of ('onsumption having passed away. W e have indubi table proofs in our possession that Consumption in all its can be cured ; in the first, by tubercular absorption ; in the second, bv the transformation of the tubercnle into chalky ami calcareous concretion.-; in the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded to the opinions of the past may assert that, even imw, ('onsumption is incurable, such are behind the age. To all. this great truth must l e apjuirent, viz: that the medicine inhaled in the form of Vapor or Powder directly into the Lungs must be much more effective than that taken into the stomach, where the disea-es do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Con sumption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in haled in the form of Vapor areapplied directly to the Lungs, where the diseases exist; the stomach is thus It ft flee to aid in restoring health, by administering to it healthy, life-giving food. There is no case so hopeless that Inhalation will not reach ! The means, too, are brought within the reach of all; the manner of administering the Vapors being so simple that the invalid is never required to leave home, where the hand of friendshin and affection adds so much to aid the physician’s efforts. The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy, ami consists in the administration of medicine in such a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs in the form of Vapor, and produce their action at the seat of the disease. Its practical success is destined t<» revolutionize the opinions of the medical world, ami establish the entire curability of Consumption. 1 earnestly appeal to the common sense of all af flicted with Lung Diseases to embrace at once the ad vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medi cines to the unoffending stomach. I claim tor inha lation a place among the priceless gifts that Nature and Art hath given us, “that our days may be long in the land,” and as the only Ark of IL luge for the Consumptive; a method not only rational, but sim ple ami efficacious. Such of the profession that have adopted Inhala tion, have found it efficacious in the highest degree, and working wonders in many desperate cases; in verity, a signal triumph of our ai t uvvr this fell de stroyer of our species.

For the present it will be a weekly paper, but will be converted into a daily or tri-week h as soon ns the encouragement warrants it. Believing that Macon, in view of its increasing bu siness ami its central location with Railroads radia ting in every direction, is n suitable point for estab lishing a new paper. I embark in this enterjirise with every e nfidence of success, and will strive by mak ing “ 77" State Pr<ss" worthy of patronage, to secure for it both a local support aiid a general circulation. And in order to accomplish this object no effort will be spared to render it in all respects a valuable Fami ly Journal complete in its news, literary and politi cal departments -useful and interesting alike to the Planter, the Merchant, the Mechanic ami all other clas*esof our population—a paper thoroughly identi fied with whatever concerns the weal or woe of Geor gia, and one which 1 hope to make acceptable to the citizens of the State. lii politics The Stat. Press will belong to the South ern Rights Democratic sclihool. While I am in la vor of the preservation of the Union on the basis of the Constitution, as a Southerner by birth and edu cation, I naturally consider the rights, the interests, and the honor of the South as paramount to all other considerations. Hence in the management of the paper my motto will be “ Equality in the I monor Independence uut of it." But, in my humble judg* nient, there is but one effectual means of preserving the Union consistently w ith ‘he constitutional rights of the South, ami therefore I w ill zealously advocate the policy ami principles of that good old Democratic party which has been our only anchor of safety during the past, and now stands our only hope for the fu ture. The State Press will be printed with new type on a large sheet. It will be an excellent medium for ad vertising, as arrangements Lave been made togne it a wide circulation. .
