eo Thomas Ewing, Secretary of tiie Treasury. The following sketch of the life and character of Mr. Ewing w~s written for Watterston's Gallery of American Portraits in 1836, when Mr. Ewing was in the U. S. Senate. Mr. Ewing was born in Virginia, in 1789. His father was a revolutionary soldier, and soon after the birth of young Ewing, removed to the State of Ohio. Mr. Ewing is indebted for his elements of knowledge, to the care and attention of his eldest sister, who taught him to read, and the only additional education he received till he was* 23 years of age, was two quarter's tuition, under two successive teachers. But he had acquired a love of reading, and all his leisure hours were devoted to it. His father being in humble circumstances, young Ewing's life was necessarily a laborious one ; but obliged as he was to toil daily, he neverless availed himself of every opportunity to improve his mind, and to be what his highest ambition then led him to become?a scholar. But poverty seemed to oppose an insuperable barrier to his career, and he was about yielding up to despondency, when a young man, who had seen somthing of the world, and who was hired by his father as an assistant, roused him from his apathy, and prevailed upon him to accompany him to the Kanawha Salines, where he procured employment as a common laborer. After an absence of three or four months, he returned with eighty dollars in his pocket, which he generously gave to his father, to save his land from being forfeited. In the following spring, Mr. Ewing again returned to the Kanawha Salines, where he labored assiduously till November, an 4 succeeded in realizing about four hundred dollars?out of which, after paying a balance of sixty dollars, still due on his father's property, he was on*hlorl rnindnlirp his favorite propensity, o- -- . bv spending the winter at an academy at Athens, where he was encouraged to make additional efforts to prosecute his studies, and acquire the power which knowledge bestows. He returned once more to his former labors, and continued at them for two years. These severe toils affected his health ; which however, a residence at home restored and he again entered the academy which he had left about two years before, and proceeded to labor mentally, with the same ardor and intensity that he had labored corporeally. His progress is said to have been very rapid ; but being satisfied that his funds, which were daily diminishing, would be insufficient to enable him to complete his education, he opened a school in Galliepolis, which ill the course of a quarter he threw, up, not liking the employment, and returned to his former occupation at the salt werks. He now hired a furnace, and by extraordinary labor, he acquired a sum in the rnnrse of a month, to enable him, as he believed, to complete his studies. He u as right; and in the spring of 1815 he received the degree of A. B. and was the first to receive that academical honor in Ohio. He was now 26 years of age, and com. inenced the study of the law in the office of General Beecher, who, after he had finished his legal studies, from a high opin. Ion of his powers, took him into partnership and in his new and favorite profes. siou he rose rapidly to distinction. As a proof of his ardor and assiduity, he practised in eight different counties in the State in which he lived. His filial affection was again manifested, in the purchase of a fine tract of land in Indiana, with the proceeds of his profession, on which he placed his father and family. He had now acquired so high a reputation for ahilitv and talent at the bar, that the * ?: i_* -f ou:? _ 1 ?~?j i do I*egl*iniui c ui vino ciutvcu nun, in nn*. to represent that S ate in the Senate of t'le U. Scales; and in this distinguished b^dy he has continued ever since, with an increase of fame, and an untiring application to the important duties of his station, that has given hiin a claim to the gratitude of his country. Mr. Evving !s, in person, athetic and muscular, broad across the chest, vigorous but not elegant in his proportions, or graceful in his motions. His countenance is expressive of good nature, and enlivened by a frequent smile; and though awkward in his appearance, his manners have a natural case that even an early intercourse with refined and polished society could not have rendered more agreeable. Nature has bestowed upon him a mind of great powers, which have been cultivated to the extent his limited means and opportunities would afford. It is analytic and logical, rather than brilliant and imaginative; oratory, as an art, has not claimed much of his attention ; and though his arrangement is Incid, and his mind affluent in topics, and fertile in arguments, his speeches contain few of the embellishments of rhetoric, or the elegancies of art. He cannot blend the utile with the dulce, or amuse while he persuades, He always endeavors to edify, and but seldom attempts to please. Reasoning is his forte?in that he is conscious of his power, and will not trust himself |U HIV VIIWI ?<j VI 1X19 UltllWII IS plain and unadorned, not verbose or involved, but clear and suited to his reasoning, and is feeble or vigorous, according to the strength or weakness of his argument. Mr. Ewing is too good natured to deal much in scarcasm, or to resort to bitterness of inective; and he never electrifies his audience by unexpected bursts of eloquence. He is sagacious, argumentative and laborious; often eloquent, but never oratorical. As a poiitician.his principles are firm and unyielding, never fluetuating between self-aggrandizement and the interests of his country ; never balancing between right and wrong; but always directing his efforts to that which he conceives will promote the glory of the nation, and the happiness of mankiad. Methodist Mission among the slaves. Extract from the report of the Missionary Board of the S. Carolina Conference, in February 1841. The board submit the following detailed statement of the missions under the charge of this society. 1. Beaufort Mission.?This has been served by the Rev. T. E. Leadbetter and M. Eady. There have been 40 admitted on trial, and a nett increase during the year, exclusive of expulsions, &c., of 26 members. The whole numlier of members amounts to 320. It is in a prosperous condition; includes 30 plantations; and is steadily improving. 2. Pocofaligo Mission.?There are 9 plantations served, 25 members, 197 ' children catechised. The Rev. J. N. Davis the missionary appointed here, fell into such extreme had health, as obliged him to leave the mission unsupplied from July until late in November, when the Rev. A. J. Green was transferred to it by the superintendent. For these reasons it has not prospered as much as it was likely to have done. Still the work is going on, and the planters are increasingly kind. 3. Combahce and Ashepoo Mission.? ' This has been under the charge of the Rev. J. R. Coburn and William Hollidav; covers 11 plantations: embraces 595 members in full connection, 151 on trial aud about 373 children catechised. The | planters have increased their contribu1 tions, and the mission is flourishing. I 4. Pon Pun Mission.?The Rev. C. Wilson, who has served this mission, reports 420 members, 163 catechumens.? There are 5 plantations served, and the work is highly interesting and promising. 5. South Santee Mission has been under the pastoral oversight of the Rev. Al. Russel, whose health became so bad in August last, as to prevent any further | service. It embraces 14 plantations, and I about 500 Church members, and upwards of 200 catechumens. 6. North Santee Mission.?The Rev. W. C. Ferrell has been able to render but little pastoral service on the mission, owing to the failure of his health. It embraces 14 plantations, with nearly 400 Church members, and 200 catechumens. 7. Cooper River Mission.?The Rev. A. Nettles reports 700 members, and 182 children catechised. The mission embraces 11 plantations, and needs the services of an additional missionary. 8. Upper Santee Mission.?The Rev. S. D. Lancy, who served this mission, represents its condition as but indifferent. ^ 1 * * * o.ifi: There is preaching on opianiauons; o~o Church members, 10 on trial, and about 100 catechumens. 9. Wateree Mission.?This is under the charge of Rev. W. J. Jackson and J. Nipper: embraces 21 plantations; 600 Church members, 300 catechised, and is in a prosperous and progressive condition. 10. Broad River Mission.?This has been served by Rev. J. Holmes, who reports 65 Church members, and 70 children catechised. The state of the mis' sion is good. 11. Rocky Mount Mission.?This was under the charge of Rev. E. L. King; it includes 15 plantations, 317 colored members, 144 of whom were received last year. 107 little negroes received catechetical instruction. The board recommend the discontinuance of this mission, merging the most of it in the Wateree mission. 12. Black River and Pee Dee Mission. The Rev. M. M'Kibben reports 1138 colored members, 540 children instructed. 211 were admitted on trial during the year. The mission covers 26 plantations, and the contributions from the planters ? ro inrrnnviinar. 13. SampU Mission.?This embraces 15 plantations, was served by Rev. P. A. M. Williams, and is prosperous. 163 Church members are reported, and 400 children catechised. Prospects exceedingly flittering. 14. XVaccamaw Neck Mission.?This is served by Rev. J. A. Minick and Rev. J. Belin. It covers 22 plantations, holds 575 Church members, and 575 children instructed in this, as in all our missions, orally. This important mission is prosperous. Besides the foregoing, which are among the blacks, although here and thare a few white members are found, there are two missions to the upper part of the conference district, established for the benefit of the whites. 15. Saluda Mission.?TJtis has been 1 under the pastoral oversight of Rev. J. W. Wclborn, who reports 283 Church members, of whom 67 are colored. This is considered strong enough to be returned in the form of a regular circuit, which the board recommend. 16. Rock f^ish Mission.?The Rev. J. M'lVfackin has served this work the past year. There are 131 whites and 122 colored members. This likewise is recommended to be thrown into the form of a circuit. The board recommend the appointment of a city missionary for Charleston. They likewise recommend the establishment of a mission to the whites between Little Pee Dee and Wacamaw Rivers ; and two to the blacks, one on Cape Fear I River, near Wilmington, the other on Pee i Dee, between Society Hill and Marrs | Bluff. All of which is respectfully submitted. Camden, S. C.Feb. 15, 1841.

At last I boiled a strong decoction of tobacco, and poured it hot on the places where he was at work.

I have 4?cd the same experiment in other places, J and find that rats will not eat wood saturated with tobacco juice. EVERY WORl) TRUE. It is a great and prevalent error, that children maybe left to run wild in every sort of street temptation for several years, and that it will then ho time enough to break them in.

PROSPECTUS OF VOLUME VIII. FOR 1841. In off ring to the agricultural public of the United States the prospectus of the Eighth volume of the Cultivator, (the second of the New Series,) we desire the privilege of taking our pations and correspondents' familiarly and cordially by the hand, and thanking them most heartily for the very liberal aid and sopport th< y have rendered us, both by their communications and their subscriptions. The Cultivator was established to improyg gnd elevate the Agriculture of the country; to aive a proper one to the morals and mind of the farmer; to show him the dignity and ira\ portance of his profession ; to store his mind with useful knowledge, and convince him that while all classes are and must be moro or less dependent on each other, he aloge of the whole can make any near approach to ipi dependence. If there is one thing more than another, which in th 8 country gives a man superiority over his fellow men, it is know)* edge; and this know ledge,?know ledge which is as essential to the success of the fanner aa of other men, it is the design ol the Cultivator to aid in imparting. In taking charge of the Cultivator, tne Editors were aware of the arduous nature ol the under'aking Under its former conductor, tliie journal had alieady attained a very high char** acter, and we might have shrunk trom the task of sus'ain'ng the reputation it had gained, or from the efforts necessary to still farther elevate its standi <ir, had not the assurance of aid from the ablest writers and the most experienced farmers of the country,?aid which our columns will show has been and will bo most prompk and fully rendered; encouraged n? to the iinilprtaL'iniT lldm fa? ua l.uu.* hi creed> d must he left for the readers of the Cultivator to determine; hut if an increase of subscription teyond any precedent in the history of agricultural journals of this country; if the almost unanimous voice of the pub ic press in our favor ; if the multitude of private yet fl titerng testimonials we have received, added to a circulation probably treble hat of anv other journal devoted to the agricullura interest, may be admitted as evidence, then we have certainly most al undanl reason to be gratified with our success.
