INTERESTING PtcTuRE FOR CONGRESS- The
Philadelphia papers state that Mr.. BUCHANAN, the
American Minister has sent home from London
an original portrait of JOHN HAMppEN, the cele-
brated English patriot who was one of the first
to resist the encroachments of the Stuarts, and
to assail the prerogatives of the Grown in the
great struggle for popular rights which led to
the establishment of the English Commonwealth.
This portrait belonged to Mr.. JOHN MAcsREGoR
member of Parliament for Glasgow, and is pres.
ented by him, through Mr.. BUCHANAN, to the
Congress of the United States 1t is said to be
one of the only two original portraits of Hamp-
den now in existence

An important Lcttcr from jefferson.

In the course of q recent debate in the Ohio
Senate, Mr.. Heaton, member, read letter
from Thomas Jefferson to his father, written a
few months before Jefrerson's death. We do
not hesitate to say that it is one of the most i'm
portant letters that ever emanated from his pen,
and will be circulated far and wide, proving as it
does, that the Jefferson who drafted the memoir
able ordinance Of 81, which made Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan free states was
the Jefferson of 1926. Recently the more I'M
scrupulous Of southern politicians have insisted
that Jefferson became welded to the system of
African slavery before he died. This letter
knocks away the last hope of the unscupnous
politicians of the slavery school, of impressing
in their cause, the founder of the democratic par
ty, and the traest democrat that ever held sway
in this country. His precepts are considered of
the more moment because he himselfwasa slave
holder. 1t appears that more than five years
after the passage of the Missouri compromise,
viz; on the goth day Of April, 1926 Mr.. Heaton,
of Ohio wrote to Mr.. Jefferson for the purpose OF
obtaining his sentiments on the subject Of slave
emancipation. Exactly one month afterwards
Mr.. Jefferson wrote reply, from which the fol-
lowing sentiments are published This letter is
written in Mr. Jefferson's own hand writing and
hoor his frop vi Ex prosidnpt

At the last accounts we have from Mr.. Fill
more, he was hunting foxes on the Roman caiii-
pagna. We hope while securing over thai vast
barren tract his mind will be led to reflect upon
the cause of its observation-disclosures one OF the
most productive, healthy and popalous spots on
the face of the globe, it is now one foul fen,

tmony, written on the face of nature itself, es-

aud power, will take lesson from its vivid et-

RECREATION Fishing, hunting, visiting
vineyards and fruit orchards, seem to be all
the rage of late, among those of our citizens
who have sufficient time to indulge in such
amusements.
A party of our young gentlemen returned
last night from fishing excursion, to the
west branch of Butte creek. They describe
the road as being in fine order; the scenery
of the country through which they passed,
was most beautiful, and everything at hand
necessary to make this a popular resort for
all who delight in the health inspiring sport
of angling. Messrs. Smith, Harris, Wilson
and Jenkins, were the party, and all speak
as though perfectly delighted with the trip.
They caught some 600 fine brook trout.which
are of the finest flavor, as the guests at the
Orleans and Franks Restaurant, can fully
testify To catch the fish, they bait with
grass -hoppcrs, to procure which, the Indians
burn the woods, and the insects flee before
the FIRE, with their wings scorched, which
makes them an easy prey. The burning Of
the woods is sport to the fishermen, but dis
tructive to the farmers in the neighborhood,
everything being so perfectly parched, that
the fire reaches the fences, hay stacks, and
other property; and in some instances, has
totally destroyed the crops of the adjacent
ranches

of his friends with him to see that he was
not harmed when in the discharge of his
