ADMONITION.
Pul dtiu'i.! that sparkling cup!

Drink uot that fatal beverage up ;
Theie’i poison in the draugat!
The first small drop ti e sense depraves,
And brings the long carouse—
The reason blinds, the will enslaves;
Then vain are all thy vows,
A powerless vic im thou art led
A'herc miga y revels reign;
The tames oi wine distinct tuy head,
And midden ail thy biain,
W inle there, each better purpose cross’d
At hazards, cards and dice,
* Thy loriuut-, health, and fame are lust,
‘..iid sccnci of shameless vice.
Teihaps tboa bast a tender wife,
W:u pledged her curly truth,
- . And gave to charm thy wayward life,
Iler love, and biooming youth.
T i :a e tn’st in ri prove to her unkind !
(Oh! base ingratitude!)
And snap th >M? sacred ties that bind
The generous and the good!
The towering oak the ivy rir.c,
With irieu ly strength will slay;
B it while thy arm she fondly twines,
fhou teai’st thyself away:
And oh! thy shameful bosom pants
To nud so ne lonesome den.
Os vile and Worthless Men !
Methinks I view her faded form,
Her spirit bowed to earth,
With eiubets scarce to keep her 'arm,
Pieced by her dreary hearth;
Whileo’sr the tic that binds her there,
Llvr st;il fund watch she keeps,
Whf c all iiticotiscio'is of hercare,
il.*r shilling infant sleeps.
With pale and care-worn pensive look,
Amidst thi-gkiotny scene;
She tries to read her Holy Book,
Au i reads and weeps between,
Anon she turns to ofler up,
xl fervent prayer to Heaven,
That you would dash that fatal cup,
Return, and be forgiven.
But all in vain—beneath the blast,
Os chi ling hopeless grief;
S'ie *»ay -nd falls at last,
A scar and withered lr*f.
Then comes, perhaps the bitter «mart —
R;.a urse and wounded pride,
May plunge the dagger to thy heart-
A wretched suicide.
And yet there is a darker talc,
Which truth now bids me tell;
But just beyond this outwaid veil,
There lies a yawning Hell!
There shall thy lust and guilty soul,
Send up its doleful cries,
And feel while endless ages roll
The worm that never dies.
LUCKY TOM.
A Secret worthknowing.— Torn Spoon
er was the luckiest dog in the world, at
least so said his old cronies. “I le began
like, a poor nothing mechanic,”
they would say, “ without a cent in the
world—without a whole shirt to his back,
half a shoe to his feet and nothing but his
hands to work with. And yet Tom Spoon
er is one bf the most wealthy and influen
tial inert among us. What a lucky dog
that Tom Spooner has been.” He went
among those who started in life with him,
but who Were now the frequenters of
grog-shops, idle and dissolute, by the
nimo qf Lucky Tom. It puzzled his old
friends not a little to account fur his luck.
’ He had no rich relations, and though
not extravagant, he was liberal. He was
no skin flint: Could he know some art
of magic that would unbosom the treas
ures of the earth, and spread its gold be
fore him ? He paid no attention to the
words oi fortune tellers, and gold finders;
he merely staid at home, and yet his
course had been attended year aftor year
and week alter week with a wonderful
share of good fortune—good luck, He
most be in possession of some secret of
which others are ignorant. What can it
be? What on eaith can it be?” If Tom
had a lot of pork to dispose of, people were
always willing to pay him a couple of
cents more a pound than any other per
son ! And the dog! he was always lucky
enough to pay bis debts! He was never
so unlucky as to feel the gripe of a sher
iff. or bear the creak of the jail-door.
Married. “ Why ! this poor mechanic
h is taken the sweetest and most beautiful
girl in the place. Who would have,
tnou 'hi :t! What a confounded lucky
dog Tom Spooner is! He must have
got the girl by magic ; yes, nothing less
than magic ; and then Pom’s garden was
■t picture of neatness; the fences wene
never known to blow over, as did his
neighbors’. His laud was rich, while
th it of bis very next door neighbors would
produce hardly any thing but weeds!
What does Tom put into bis land! How
he rises one step after another I If there
is an important station to be filled, why
t'uui Spooner was always the man. He
could get a note, discounted at the Bank
without security. If any question be
tween neighbors was to be settled, why,
Tom--Lucky Tom—was always sure to
be called in as umpire. “And now I
think of it,” says one, " 1 never knew
Tom io speak an ill word against his
neighbor, which shows plain enough that
there are many in his secret and therefore
that he dares not utter a word to their
prejudice. He never drinks—because to
be sure, if intoxicated, some one wili
shatch his secret from him. He has learn
-ed his wife the way too. They both have
the secret H* says nothing hard of his
.■z-qmtincanre. H » goes to ebtireb ragn-
but that is for mere appearance’s
sake. He pours over books when hecan
find time— he must be learning something
more of his art of getting rich. He is
laying up treasures, And then be al
ways has a lamp in his work room late,
and he is alwus the first up in the house ;
which furthermore shows that Tom’s
mind is always bent upon his secret. He
can’t find time even to take a glass with
his old cronies at the grog shop. He
must have a secret worth knowing. It
occupies his thoughts so much that he
minds nobody’s business but bis own.
And yet it does not wvigh heavy on his
mind; he is always good natured, con
tented and happy he has no quarrelling
in his family. All is pleasant and agree
able. Nothing is out of place. Strange!
Strange ! said these wiseacres, that Toni
Spooner, that poor mechanic, who began
with nothing, of whom every body pro
phesied that he would come out ofthe lit
tle end of the horn, and who believed no
thing of it, but stuck to his work; should
have been so foriunato —so lucky in life!
Up early ; late to bed ; ever at work with
hands or head I—he must have a secret
worth knowing! Ah! Lucky Dog!
Lucky Tom! What can his secret be?”
Reader, what can his s eret be!— Nat.

AMERICAN CEMENT.
The Catskill Recorder thus speaks of
. this article, which is manufacted by a com
pany in the City of New York: ,
“The cement, which is at first like or
dinary mason’s mortar, becomes by age,
and exposure, as hard as granite itself and
rtsists the action of frost under any cir
cumstances. We were shown cisterns,
well curbs sections of an aqueduct, and a
monument, v. hick were said to have stood
in the open air, through the last winter,
and the summer thus far. These, when
struck smaitly with a trowel,gave out fire
and a clear ringing sound, which indicates
no flaw. The cement is first moulded,
and then polished with a trowel, and after
it has had lime to harden glass itself could
not be more absolutely impervious to wa
ter In all situations where it is desi
rable either to confine or shut out water,
the cement answers every purpose and is
withal as we are informed, a very cheap
material. In the process of hardening, it
suffers contraction, and in constructing
from it works of any kind, no other care
seems necessary than to protect them from
being mutilated ordefaced,while in a green
state. This material is now employed
fora variety of uses and every day calls
for its application to some new purpose.
We think that it will yet be extensively
used in the construction of ducks, ftcq"?*
ducts,canal locks and rail roads. The fa
cility with which it may be moulded into
blocks of a uniform size and shape,
seems peculiarity to recommend "it
ivi Led Stones on to lay the rails;
and in answering such a purpose, it may
very materially reduce the expense of rail
roads as at present constructed.”
From the Ohio Farmer.
Culture of the Cucumber.— l will state
a fact relative to the planting of Cucum
bers which came, under my observation,
and which is worthy ofbeing known. I
shall at least give a further trial of its re
ality, though 1 cannot conceive there
is a doubt remaining on the subject. Last
spring, a friend of mine, and myself were
planting cucumbers at the same time. 1
was planting mine as is usual in gardens,
by mixing a small portion of stable ma
nure with the earth, and raising the hills
an inch or two above the surface of the
ground. Observing it, he jocosely re
marked, “ Let me show you how to raise
cucumbers!” Never having much luck
in raising them, I cheerfully agreed to his
proposition. He commenced by making
holes in the earth, at the distance intended
(or the hills, that would hold about a peck
—he then filled them with dry leached
ashes, covering the ashes with a very
small quantity of earth. The seeds were
then planted on a level with the surface of
the ground. 1 was willingto see the ex
t perinient tried, but had no expectation of
any thing but a loss of seed, labor, and
soil. But imagine my astonishment, (not
withstanding a drier season never was
known, and almost a universal failure of
garden vegetables,) when I beheld vines
I remarkably thrifty, and as fine a crop of
! cucumbers as any one need wish to raise,
and continued to bear for a very long time,
unusually so in fact.— I will not phloso
phise or moralize on this subject, but say
to all try it—and instead o( throwing your
ashes in a useless heap to stumble over
near your door, put it to its proper use
and reap your “ rich reward.”
OATS
Are most productive on strong, rich,
and adhesive land, the should be sown as
early in the spring as he ground will ad
mit as those sown early generally produce
the heaviest grain, though uot always the
greatest quantity of straw. It is an erro
neous notion, though entertained by ma

I nt. Unconscious Clerk.— A tew years
ago, the clerk at one ofthe chapels at Bir
mingham, previous to the commencement
ofthe service, dirtied his hands by putting
some coal on the fire, and unconsciously
rubbing his face, besmeared it so as to re
semble a son of Vulcan. He turned into
the reading desk, where he naturally at
tracted great attention, which was consid
erably increased when he gave out the

To the Physicians of the State of Georgia
and Students of Medicine
The convention of Physicians, which
met in Macon on the first of May took
into consideration the importance of the
Medical profession in this State. Their
deliberations resulted in recommend
ing to the medical practitioners of each
county, to form societies, which should af
tei ’.vardi! ’end d- ls" central
point, to form a general society, hoping
by these means to raise the standard of
the profession to that elevation which has
been always desired by its votaries.
In order that medical ethics my b; betj
ter understood and adhered to,by the pro
fession; we are anxious that a closer inter
course should take place, than heretc
fore.
We have witnessed with a lively satis
faction, the exertions which some of our
medical brotheren have made towards < s
tablishing ac.ntral medical society. But
we think, we see so many objections to
their plan, as to induce us to believe it can
never be carried into successful opera
tion.
Therefore we have recommended to the
physicians, to establish county societies,
who shall have the cor trol of all private
matters; reserving to themselves the right
of regulating the reward they claim
for their professional services; and what
individuals shall be considered worthy of
membership.
Also choosing delegates clothed with
authority to represent them in a general
convention; fur the purpose of accomplish
ing those ends, which 4 may be deemed ne
cessary for the general good.
To this convention or central medical
society, must we look for the periection of
ofthe labours ofthe local societies. To
this body will belong the duty of the es
tablishing Medical ethics as well as giv
ingtone to a preparatory and perfect me
dical education—which alone can elevate
the physician the other common drudge.
To them will belong, the privilege of
making known the Geology, Mineralogy
Botanology and Zoology, of each county
To them will belong the honor of publish
ing a correct history ofthe maladies of
each county and the various remedies
within its limits.
From these storehouses must the trans
actions cl the central society be taken.
In what way can these various topics be
laid before the physicians and students of
i medicine! By means of a periodical or
i weekly Journal—which , may be made
. the medium of information to every sub
j scriber throughout the Slate.
| The advantages of a weekly Journal
I will be readily comprehended by every
one. Because it may be easily carried
in our pockets fur perusal, when profess
ionally called from home.
Il ought to contain much of that infor
mation, which would supply the place of
that daily intercourse ofthe physicians of
the larger towns or cities.
It ought to be our guide in a thousand
matters—which are not published in
books, nor taught by lectures. But which
are only learned, by the younger part of
the profession in their social intercourse
with their seignors
j Such a periodical we believe would be
liberally supported, by the physicians
I M hilst they would still look abroad for
| the quarterly periodicals and Foreign
■ Magazines.
Ihe object s stated in’lhis address, and
their importance, we hope, will be view
ed by the profession in that light which
its movers could only have contemplated
ana tnal is the improvement of the eci
ence and the prosperity of the fraternity. :
Macon, June 15th, 1835.
The undersigned take great pleasure ,
in the discharge ol their duty, in presen- 1
ting to the Physicians, and Medical Stu
dents of the State of Georgia, the proceed- |
ings of the Convention of Physicians re
cently held in this city.
We feel gratified with the prospect it ;
presents for the advancement of Medical ■
Science and an elevation, refinement and j
courtesy in feeling and conduct, the want (
of which has so often and not unjustly J
been viewed as an opprobrium to the pro
fession.
We beg leave particularly to invite
your attention to the study and science
of botany, that much neglected, but neces
sary anti almost indispensible branch of
medical science.—We are unwilling to
think you will not find sufficient interest
inGeology, Mineralogy, and Zoology,to
occupy the time you may incline to de
vote to recreation and amusement.
We beg you to communicate to us, as
early as convenient your concurrence
with thn object and views of the Conven
vention, and especially what support you
will be able to afford the Medical Journal
contemplated to be established in Augusta
—and also the formation of your county
societies, and the time it will be most a
greeable to have the contemplated Con
vention.
We have preferred the newspapers as
the medium of communication as being
the least exceptionable and equally ad
dressed to all.
You will please confer with us by let
ter, and enclose the names of such sub
scribers, ns you may obtain for the Medi
cal Journal.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
In Richmond Superior Courl-June Term
ARTEM AS GOULD. J
vs. > Attach.
THOMAS C. BROWN. )
This case comes up before the Court
upun a rule against the Sheriff to pay
over the money, and to which rule the
Sheriff makes the following return :
"In answer to the rule, taken in this
case, the Sherifl states, that he has in
hand the sum of $47 88 cents, made from
the sale ofthe defendant’s property, under
an order of the Inferior Court, made in
said case. He further states, that said
sum of money is claimed by fi. fas. in fa
vor of Lemuel Dwelle, B. W. Force &Co
and Archibald Boggs—all founded upon
attachments issued and levied upon th*
property sold, after it had been levied up
on under the attucb^,; wll i first above sta-
And it further appears, from the fi. fas.
presented to the Court, that though A.
Gould’s attachment was first levied; yet,
that the judgements in the cases now
claiming the money, were obtained
by Dwelle, Force &|Co. and Boggs, be
fore the judgement was obtained by Gould
whose attachment was first levied.
The foregoing facts, present the fol
lowing points for the decision ot this
Court.
First. Cun the same property be levied
upon by different officers, and under dif
ferent processts, issuing from different
Courts, or from the same Court?
Secondly. What is the legal force and
effect, or lien, of a judgement, obtained
upon attachment?—Does it bind any oth
er property than that attached, or is it con
fined to the property attached!
Thirdly. Is it the obtaining of the
judgement in attachment, or the levying
oftiie attachment, which creates the lien
on th? defendant’s property.
Upon the first point, the counsel of
Gould (Mr. Miller) insists that levies, by
different officers, cannot be made under
different processes, and from different
I Courts; because the levying officer must
take the property into possession, so as to
deliver it to the purchaser; and to this
point he cites the Court to the following
authorities; sth Mass. Rep. 271; 11th do.
248—1st. Pick’g. Rep. 389—3rd Peters
Rep’s. 292; and such is the decision of
Law in Massachusetts: but when we
come to look at our Legislative Acts, we
find that many ol them virtually admit the
right to make two levies on the same prop
erty —Princes’s Dig. p. 22, wh ch de
clares, “that the first attachment levied
shall be the first satisfied.” But it may
be asked, bow can both officers have pos
session ofthe same property at the same
time? The Court is of opinion that this
is not necessary; the property being levi
ed on, and in contemplation of law, in the
possession of the first levying officer, it
will only be necessary lor any subsequent
officer, to make a special entry of his le
vy, stating that it is in the first levying of
ficer’s possession, and give this officer a
written notice of the levy, and of the a
mount and nature ofthe process, so levied
and the Court, believes that this mode
will more effectually subserve the ends of
justice. But, if a contrary course was to
be pursued, a party might be deprived of a
remedy, as a levy might be made on per
sonal property indivisible in its nature for
a small debt, and because it was already
in the custody of an officer, the party hav
ing another and larger claim, might be
prevented from making his levy, from the
nature ofthe process, it having issued from :
a Court in which the first levying officer ,
had no authority to execute a return, as
is frequently the case in Courts of limited
jurisdiction. The Court, therefore, de
cides that more levies than one can be
made on the same property, and by differ
ent officers, and under process from differ-!
ent Courts, b} - which means, the rights
of lien, in each case, can be fairly brought ■
before the Court, as is the case in the pres
ent Rule against the Sheriff Then hav ;
iug sustained the levies in this case, tie i
next question to be decided is this
Second: What is the force and effect of
a judgement,obtained by the levying of an
attachment up ,n the goods, and effects
of a person absent, and of course not hav
ing personal notice ofthe claim? In de
ciding this question, the Court, (so far as
the case is concerned) would be relieved
from citing any authority, as Messrs Cum
ming and Clarke, who represent the last
levied attachments, concede the point as
contended for by Mr. Miller, attorney for
, Gould.—That a judgement obtained on
J attachment,and where no personal service :
is effected, binds only the property attach-
I ed, and of course does not create a gener-
I al lien on the defendant’s property, and to
the point Mr. Miller cites. 2. Bay’s Rep.
,272 —Prince’s Dig. p. 19, sec. 3d.—10
Johns. Reps. 129—Sergeant on Attach, p.
111 to 127—and 5 Johns. Reps. 27; and
that a judgement is not binding, where the
defendant has not been personally served '
He also cites the following authorities:
Kirby’s Reps, 119! 1 Dallas’ Reps. 216;
| 9 East 192; to which the Court has refer
! red. The Court does decide, that a judg
ment on attachment, and where no person
al service has been effected on the defen-
I dant, binds only the property of the defen
dant, which is attached.
This brings the. Court to the 3d ground
—Whether (as between attaching credit
ors) the first attachment levied, or the first
judgment obtained, creates the lien. If
the Court be correct in deciding the second
ground, it will follow as a necessary con-
I sequence, that the judgment on attachment
. is nut such a judgment as is contemplated
| by our attachment Law—Princ’sD ig. 22
i where it is said that no lien shall be cre
ated by the levying of an attachment to
be exclusion of any judgment obtained by
any creditor, before judgment is obtained
by the attaching creditors:and the court is
borne out in this posit ion.by a reference to
the same act, on the same page; which
say that in all cases, the first attachment
served, shall bethe first satisfied. This, in
the opinion of the Court, clearly shews;
that the Legislature, when speaking of
judgments, did not mean judgment on at
itachments, they have declared, what shall
! create the lienas between attaching cred
| itors, to wit: The first levied attachment.
The Court, therefore,decides that as be
tween attaching creditors; it is the levy
ing ot the attachment, and not the obtain
ing ofthe judgement which creates the
lien. See 10th Johns. Rep. 129; sth Johns
Rep. 37; Sergeant on Attach. 111 to 127.
It is therefore ordered, that the Sheriff
pay over the money in his hands to Arte
mas Gould.
JOHN SCHLEY, Judge,
Ihe Legislature ofthe State ot Ohio
met, at an Extraordinary Session to which
.‘.Ley were convoked by the Governqr, on
| the Bth instant. We have received the
■ Message of Lucas to the Legislature, giv
, ing his views ofthe merits of the contro
versy with Michigan Teritory, concern
ing the Boundary-line between them,
which is the cause of this Extra Session.
We extract the following from the close
of the Message, shewing the conclusions
of the Governor, and leaving no doubt oi
his being in earnest:
“The more I examine the subject, the
more convinced I am that our claim is
just and and incontrovertible; that it is a
settled question, and that we are under as
solemn an obligation to maintain our ju
risdiction over the township of Port Law
rence, on the Maumee Bay, as we are to
maintain it over any township on the Ohio
river.
“Gentlemen—the whole subject is now
before you for consideration. The ques
tion necessarily arises, what shall be
done? Shall we abandon our just claim
i relinquish our indisputable rights, and
! proclaim to the world that the Act and
j Resolutions ofthe last session of the Gen
j eral Assembly were empty, things?
Or rather, shall we not (as was declared
in said resolution to be our duty) prepare
to carry their provision into effect? The
latter, I doubt not, will be your resolution
and I trust that, by your acts, you will
manifest to the world that Ohio knows
, her constitutional rights: that she has in
i dependence enough to assert them; and
that she can neither be seduced by flatte
ry,baffled by diplomatic management, nor
driven by menaces from the support of
those rights. And, gentlemen, you may
i rest assured, that whatever measures, in
; your wisdom, you may direct, will be
faithfully pursued by the Executive
to the fuil extent of his constitutional pow
ers, and the means that may be placed un
der his control.”
From the New York American.
Mr. Editor : I have heard more
than once,, an anecdote, which at the
present moment is of considerable inter
; est. At the timd of the occnpation of Pa
; ris by the Allied troops, and when indem
nities were settled without much formal
negociation on the part of the French, it
is said that Lord Wellington intimated to
the then American Minister at the Court
of St. Cloud that he would be happy to
support, with his immediate influence,
i (which was then potential) the claim of
i our people against the French, for spolia-
■ tions on our commerce. Mr. Crawford, ‘
, then Minister, replied with courtesy, that
he had no doubt of the justice and integ
rity ofthe French character, and that ul
timate.y our demands would be liquidated;
but that he could not think, at the moment
when the French nation were overwhel- ;
med with misfortune, of pressing these
claims upon their immediate attention.
I his conduct, if the anecdote is true, 1
speaks well to our national sympathies
and magnanimity. Mr. Crawford is now
no more, and we cannot ascertain from
him its truth ; but perhaps some of the 1
readers of your journal may be able, in 11
some way, to confirm a circumstance so 1
honorable and so striking in its character. (

Swapping.— The Sentinel says, “ The Nulli
( fier who will not support Mr. Gilmer, has no
right to expect the vote of an Anti-Nullifier for
( Ur. Dougherty.” We shall see, how this kind
t of political trading will succeed. Mr. Gilmer
was nominated as a salvo for the impudence of
the party in thrusting a Nullifier on their asso
ciates for Governor. Those associates, a rem
nant ofthe old Troup or Crawford party, hive
eschewed Nullification from the first in printi
pie, but, uuder the influence of old party preju
dices, had not the courage to sacrifice them at
’ once, and stand under their proper banner.—
They now have an opportunity of taking their
final stand, against doctrines and measures,
which they have pretended at least to believe
dangerons to their country’s peace. They now
stand isolated between two parties—the Nullifi
ershave at length openlydisregarded their wish
es, and manifest an intention to stand on their
own bottom, narrow as that is. You see, they
. refused to nominate Gov. Gilmer for Governor,
> who is with you and us, on all points material to

Off Sandy Hook, Ist June, 1835,
To the Editor of The New York Star.
Sir, My attention has been called try
an article in a late Globe respecting Mr.
Speaker Bell, which, untill this morning
1 have not had leisure to read. The
obvious irnportofapassage in itis to charge
concert between that gentleman and my
self in the election which elevated him to
the chair of the House of Representatives;
“Jockeying” is the word used. If it was
intended to convey to the public, so far as
_ the influence of that gazette extends, the
impression that there was any secret or
unfair pratices between any body and my
self, the charge is utterly unfounded. In
truth, Mr. Bell and I had no understand
ing, of any kind; and never, directly, con
certed any thing touching the election.
Were I not aboutquitting my own coun
try, and going for a while where the
Globe, as the official paper of tbe Pres
ident and his Cabinet, has perhaps more
authority than among those of my fellow
citizens whose good opinion is desirable
to me, the imputation in question would
scarce be worth repelling. The conside
ration, and the fact that another is inter
ested, and entitled to my testimony, has
prevailed over my reluctance to write any
,hing for the newspapers—a reluctance
sufficiently well known to have stimula
ted m some degree, the successive attacks
heretofore made on rne.
A very curious rule is gaining ground
on this subject. Some paper justified it
self not long ago, for publishings disrepu
table c harge of! iterary larceny, by saying
the editor at the time believed it to be false,
but a subscriber sent it, who was anxious
for its publication, and it was published,
to afford the party implicated an opportu
nity of contradicting it, an opportunity ot
which he did not choose to avail himself.
To avoid the recurrence of a similar piece
of easusitry, this notice of the paragraph
in the Globe may be excused; and as it
is in vain, I fear, to expect that print to
right the wrong in question, I respectfully
request the administration journals gener
rally, whose editors respect truth, to give
their readers an opportunity of seeing my'
denial.
There are men of all parlies wh© lion*
or me with their esteem and are entitled.
