miles northwest from Richmond Monticello, the

U. P. Levy of the United States Navy, who is also
the proprietor of Munroes estate. swinter resi-
-dence is in New York. Mr.. LOSING, author Of
the "Field Book of the Revolution" who recently
visited Monticello, says" The road from Charlottes
vile is very snuous, and for some distance courses
along the margin of q ravine scooped out from the
gap between Monticello and Carter's Mountain. At
the summit Of the gap we passed through rustic
gate, and up winding stony road, by the grave
yard the skirt Of the wood, where rest the mortal
remains Of the author of the Declaration Of ndepen
dence. 1t is surrounded by high brick wall, with
iron gate near the road just within the gate If

and placed in the mansion out Of the reach of depre-
datoIs. Upon each Of the sides of the monument is
grave covered with marble slab. One IS that OF
his wife, Martha who died in 1882, ten years after
their marriage. 1t has the usual record, and below
it are inscribed two Greek lines from the.speech
of Achilles over the dead body of Hector; in
which, after saying he will never forget Patrocus
while he has life, adds "And though spirits in
future state be oblivious Of the past he will even
there remember his beloved companion
Popes translation Of these lines and their adiunc.s
is as follows

The q, rpes of friends aud lovers cease to glow;
Yet mine sbal sscred LAST: mine undscay'd,
Burn on throus h death, and sni~ate my shade.
The other two graves are those of his favorite
daughters, Martha Wayles Randolph, who survived
him, and another daughter, Maria Eppes, who died
before him.

wherewith Queen Victoria signifies to her sub
jects her royal viii and pleasure. TWAS appen-
ded to the Letters Patent which Oliver l.. Rey-
nolds, Esq, Of this town, has just obtained in
that country, for his ingenious Sewing Machine.
The seal of her Majesty is no wafer and seal
ing-wax affair, such as suffices in this republi-
can country, but a solid cake of wax some six
inches in diameter by two inches in thickness
and weighing at least three pounds. 1t was in
closed in a tin box and tied to the document of
which it formed part by two or three yards Of
ribbon, and the whole concern was packed in q
wooden case about one foot square. On he
seal were various incridtious and Devices among
which was figure Of the Queen on horseback
This fashionof tying two or three pounds of wax
to public documents-"passing them under the
Great Seal, as the phrase isis probably as old
as the Norman conquest, and if so, the amount
of wax which is stored away in the archives of
England must be incredible.-DOver n. II. En-

CounteIJeits.-"We were shown yesterday,
by the Cashier Of the Bank of Augusta, coun-
terfeit twenty dollar bill of that bank, which
was sent to commercial house of this city,
for examination by the bank, by gentleman of
Gilmer county.
The bill is very defective in many particulars,
but calculated to deceive the inexperienced and
unobserving. The paper of the genuine bill is
a blueish white, that Of the counterfeit dirty
white, having the appearance of having been
discolored by dampness, and is of very inferi-
Or quality. But the most striking differences
are, that on the left hand end ofthe counterfeits
is portrait of Washington; on the genuine bill
portrait of Governor James Jackson. On the
bottom Of the left and right hand corners
Of the counterfeit, the denomination is in figu-
res thus, 20; on the genuine it is expressed by
numerical letters, thus, XX. The signatures,
date and number are all defective, and the
counterfeit note is larger bill than the genu-
inc. But no one can be imposed on by this
counterfeit, if they will be careful in examining
the lower part of the bill; on the genuine will
be found on both ends, Xxx on the counterfeit
it stands 20 in figures" s. Augusta Constitu-

The editor of the Clifton Courant has been
on 70 New York and purchased a poetry pen
that wont write anything else. The following is
the result of Bynnel's first attempt to write a
prose article with chat peE:'
Making tie best ofH.-A Yankee, out walk
ing in Virginia, at Wheeling, while to himself,
a talking, experienced a feeling, strange, pain
ful and alarming! From his caput to his knees,
as he suddenly discovered, he was covered DER
with bees! They rested on his eyelids, and per-
ched upon his nose; they colonized his peaked
face, and swarmed upon his clothes. They ex-
plored his swelling nostrils, Owed deep into his
ears; they crawled up his trowsers, and filled
his eyes with tears. Did he yell like a hyena?
did he holler like a loon? Was he scarf, and
did he 'cut an run? or did the critter swoon?
Ne'er one! He wasn't scarf a mite; he
never swoons-nor hollers; but he hived'em in
a nail key tight! and sold'em for two dollars!

A False Report.-We understand that it is
currently reported in various parts of the coun-
try, that the dbutment of the Railroad Bridge
at this place is cracking open and is about to
fall down. This is a false report, and we can
not conceive how it got circulation. The work
is as sound as dollar and looks as firm as the
rock of Gibralter.
BY the bye, we might state further, that this
work is progressing, and will be completed by
the time the Road is completed to Knoxville
Mr.. Gettys, the contractor, informs us that he
has from sixty to eighty hands actively engag-
ed at this time, and that he is making efforts
to employ an additional number.
