Visit TO MontiC clio.

TrcnWus' Of the New York ObsGrvcrin Sc
ries oflcters from Virginia, gives tic follow
ing account Of Il visit to the residence Of JEFF
lcrson:
Three miles from the University and look
ing down into its beautiful grounds il Month
cello, the residence of Jefferson. On tie
summit the mansion was bnilt by Jefferson
when he had wealth TO lavish on his culIya-
tcdtastcs. The house is Il hundred feet long,
and Of peculiar form and portious--vou
enter II wide aud lofty hall that was once o.
dorncd with masters skill in the high placs
es of the earth; and then you pass on to the
spacious dining room with polished inlaid
hGor; then to his study and parors; ascend
this H!%ht ofstairs, not wide enough for more
than one to walk at n time, and YOU find tic
chamber where Le died OIL the 1lh of July,
IS2G-the bed was in tt recess, the ends Of
which sustained two cross pieces and on
these were thrown the mattress on which he
laid himself TO die! 1t was the Cloomiest
place-tIat dead room-that was ever in;
there was the strongest gathering ofihOu%hts,
Crowding on each claiming to be the true O.
motion for the hour and spot: thought of lib
erty and revolutions; of human greatness and
"lory; philosophy and religion, and nfdcl-
ity and death hereufler;ofthc soul Of might
Y man struggling with the letters offcsh and
ofan untried future; into the presence OF the
Infinite, in whom the wisdom of men and
angels is lost as Il drop that falls ntlr oroan;
before Whom the soul of the uuholy slrinks
away and finds the rags Of human glory aud
the fig leaves of philosophy 10 be no covering
when the eye ofthe Holy One searches The
spirit such thoughts as these pressed on
me as stood in the chamber whence the
soul OF Jefferson fled to Judgment. The
b,,( I Ill,
Navy, Is falling into decay; it was sold and
all the furniture, for his creditors, Jefferson
having died insolvcnt: and almost the only
relic left of the man whose name is identified
with his country's history rs devoted patri-
ot aud distinguished President, is bust OF
Noltare. which stands here US n sort Of tutc.
lar divinity ofthis deserted dilapiIatcd euclo-
sure.
As you descend the mountain you pass an
enclosure without gate, that contains the
grave of Jefferson; and Enorc neglected,
wrctchcd burial place you will seek in vain.
If Campbell's 'last mani had been hurled
here. he could not have been less cared for.
4 granite obeliSk, battered much by dem
ocratic pilgrims, but without name or epitaph
is doubtless the monument Of Jefferson. II
was here placed by his executor, and the
panel on which he wrote for himself has
never been inserted in the stone. ] was told
thar it is lying with the iron gates designed
loy the enclosure on the banks of the river
where they were landed and that no man
has troubled himself to see that they ever
reached their destination. ] mention these
facts that those who would hOnor;thc memo
ry Of the Apostle of Democracy may stir
to pay respect to his ashes, aud
Hose who do not respect his name and his
principles. may see how both are esteemed
N the region ofhis home and his tomb.

"show Your Ticketw a Rail
road Sketch,

On the rail cars between Albany and Buff
tHIo, the conductors are frequently changed,
during single trip, and as each new one
takes charge, he announces himsefin Office
by The eXclnmation-"showy your ticle;a"
On night trip, recently IL testy old Van
kee was one of the passengers, aud having
exhibited his ticket to first conductor he
carefully placed it in welI-worn pocket
book, buttoncd it up in the breast pocket
OF his coat, pulled his hat tightly on his head,
and folding his arms, resigned himself TO HE
care of Morpheus. His nasal organ had
scarcely proclaimed him in dreanl-and, be-
fore an other conductor came along, with
"Show your tickets"
The old Yankee awoke with snort, and
having been made conscious OF what was
wanted, he exclaimed,
Il reckon you don't want to be seen' it all
the time, dew YOU"
"Once will do me sir" said the conductor.
"Wcll, YOU hev seen it that oflin," replied
the old gent, $50 you kin pass on.''
The conductor insisted upon looking at it,
and the disturbed passenger unbuttoncd Lis
coat, unstrnpped the old pocket book, handed
out the ticket, and the conductor passed by.
Them tellars air nifty alcared of gottil'
chissled,' said he, rs placing his ticket in his
vest pocket, he again resigned himself TO
sleep.
The conductor, thinking lie had missed
some ofthe passengers, came back again
presently and asked TO sec the tickets.
''What aeiu." exclaimed the old mnn;''wcl
| swow YOU are the most pcskid bother ever
seed. Jest take good look now, and lev
DONE
The conductor passed on again, and the
old NAH stuck his ticket in his hat band, and
aud this time got fairly to sleep. The motion
ofthe cars in short time loosened his hat,
aud it fell oil. which sleepiess wag pcrceiv-
ing, he picked up the conductors lamp, aud
approaching the old gent, shouted in his ear
"Poii Pate g Massy?" sail kho old man, .ef

it IN his hat Land, and now commenced search
for his head piece. The hat, amid the Shut
fling of the passengers feet, had been kicked
along under several different seats. After a
busy search of some minutes, he thought he
perceived it beneath fat old ady's scat. IN
reaching for it lie awokc her.
What do you want? she inquired suappish-

rible fire of the Britshnrljiery tore through
the American ruIlks and destroyed whole

came rushing up, dashed over the encmy's

fought with the desperate English. In vain
did the veterans Of the Peninsula, whose
bayonet had freed Spain and Portugal from
the iron grasp Of Bonaparte, resort to their tu-
vorite weapons; the battNlions of the reserve
were thrown into confusion, the ranks were
forced in all directions, and after desperate
conflict, the British gave way. Only one

Of the American column overwhelmed ,n@m
with confusion, and unable to stem the tor
rent, the English fed, taking with them
nearly all their artillery; the horses of the re-
mining guns were shot, and the pieces fell
INTO the hands of the invaders. The Amer-
cans trampling upon all who dared to oppose
them, ut last overlook the artillery: but the
cunnonicrs gathered round their pieces and
fought with frantic devotion, giving a useless
display valOr, the most Of them being either
captured or "laid with their faces upward"

Of the 2lst remained; these, disfigurcd, coy
