| The TOMB OF THOMAS JEFPERsoS.-A gentle
man who, short time since, visited Monticello,
thus graphically described the resting place Of
| the author of the Declaration of Independence: /:
assembled the winding road which leads
| from Charlottesville to Monticello. The path
| leads o circuituous ascent of about two miles up
| o miniature mountain, to the farm and the grave
Of Jefferson. On entering the gate which opens
| INTO the enclosure, numerous paths diyerge in
/ various directions, winding through beautiful
groves to the summit of the hill From the
peak on which the house stands, grand and
nearly unlimited view opens to the thickly
wooded hills and fertile valleys, which stretch
",
dome, porticos and collonade, looks like fair
city in the plain; Charlottesville seems to be
directly beneath. No spot can be imagined as
combining greater advantages of grandeur
/ healthfulness and seclusion. The house is no.
Bile in its appearances; two large columns support
| a portico, which extends from the wings, and
| into the front door opens. The apartments are
neatly furnished and embellished with statues,
/ busts, portraits and natural euriosities The
grounds and out houses have been neglected
Mr. Jetferson's attention being absorbed from
| such personal concerns by she cares attendant
l on the superintendance of the University, which
when in health, he visited daily since its erec.
tion commenced. At q short distance behind
the mansion, in quiet, shady spot, the visitor
sees square enclosure, surrounded by low,
unm0rtared stone wall, which he enters by a
neat wooden gate. This is the family burying
ground, containing ten or fifteen graves, none
Of them marked BY epitaphs, and only few
distinguished by any memorial. When saw
it, the vault was just arched, and in readiness
for the plain stone which is to cover it. May it
ever continue like Washington's, without any
adventitious attractions of conspicuousness, for
1 when we or our posterity need any other me-
mento of our debt of honor to those names than
their simple inscriptions on paper, wood or
stone, gorgeous tombs would be mockery to
their memories. When gratitude shall cease to
consecrate their remembrances in the hearts Of
our citizens, no cenotaph will inspire the rever
ence we owe to them" 4g
PADDY's IDEA OF PERDITIoN.-Pat McCarty
was q broth Of boy" and altogether as sda-
cent" q man and as handy with spade as any
| of the whole five hundred who were at work
upon the railroad, then and now in process Of
building in the northern part of Ohio. He was
q great favorite with the overseer, on account
Of his faithfulness and integrity Of character
but he had one fault that sorely grieved his en-
| ployer. Though as sober as q sexton for six
days in the week, Pat could never resist the
temptations Of spay day." and when Saturday
came round never failed to get as g drunk as a
lord" Having tried every other reformstory
in vain, the overseer at length bethought of the
priest, who prevailed on Pat to stake the
4 pledge" and sent him on his way rejoicing.
But, alas the next pay day was too many y
for poor Pat, who, staggering through the vii.
lage at noon, met no less parsonage than the
priest who had attempted to reform him
&c You're lost, Pat entirely lost '-said his re.
verenoe, with sigh of genuine sorrow. Pat
was bewildered for moment, but having stared
about him till he had fairly ascertained his To-
cal whereabouts, he exclaimed triumphantly-
F." Lost lis it lost l am s-lost, in broad day
| light, half way between Jimmy Stacy's and the
coort house ito the divil wild yer nonsense!"
RACHEL IN AMERICA-Raohel will soon be
amongst us. as all the difficulties thrown in her
way to prevent her from coming to the United
States, have been removed
Her first appearance is advertised to take
place on the first of September, at the Metropo-
Titan Theatre of York, together with full
company of distinguished artists brought over
from France by the manager, Mr.. Raphael
Felix.
4 Our public will, no doubt, heartily welcome
that most gifted actress. 1t is true that she ii
q French actress, and that her words will coms
: to us in foreign tongue but passion is thesams
in all languages Neither love, nor hate, MOI
r pity, nor contempt has any yernacular; it re-
quires no knowledge of any other tongues te
understand and TO enjoy the vivid expression o
Rachaeps face, the kindling of her eye, the
emotions conveyed by her changing features, OF
the majesty of her carriage.
Rachel is, in truth, the greatest actress that
= this century has produced She has been sub.
ieeted to the ordeal of every criticism; she ha!
been put to the test of the severest judges tina
Europe can produce, and she has been now fol
more than fifteen years the Queen of the Frencl
drama, the undisputed mistress of the scene.
Her arrival here will give our people an in
tellectual treat, such as can rarely be epjoye
anywhere, sure reason that they will be pre-
: pared to appreciate it.
We understand, moreover, that the pieces il
. which Rachel is to appear have been translate
into English and printed in both languages, g
as to afford an opportunity to the public to fol
: low the performance with the book [NewYor
Express.
MUTNY.--A very serious case of mutiny re
Gently occurred in our waters, and will probabl
soon be brought in the proper court of th
+ district for adjudication. The particulars, 0
o given to us, are these. On Sunday morning th
|" steamer Junior, Capt. Joe Armstrong, starte
from the city on her usual daily trip to tt
Eastern shore. While lying at Montrose tt
captain was forcibly elected and put on shor
le and cautioned not to attempt to regain posse
IL sion of his vessel. The cable was then cast oi
and the mutineers steered for Point Clea
arriving at the north-wharf q little after
a. o'clock. They then went ashore, and after Il
b. commission Of numerous lawless acts, abducte
and forcibly placed on board the Junior sever
visitors at the Point, including one Of the pr
prietors, and brought them to town. In rega,
to Capt. Armstrong, it is proper to say that
=, the voyage up he was permitted to come
l ,en board, With the distinct understanding that
se should not exercise any Of his prerogatives
~, commander or owner. Seeing how the land Ia
to he made the best of his deposition and demean
