THOMAS JEFFERSON.
The New Monument Erected to the Memory
of the Great Statesman.

of the Great Statesman.
Charlottesville (Va) Special to New York Herald.
The spirit that once made Vrginians IA
nous for their hero worship is being fast laid
away with other things of the past Just on
the side OF Monticello, about fifty feet from
the lowest depression in the gap of the
and Sneed's mountain, is the old oak tree
that has passed into history as the favorite
studying place of Dabney Carr and Thomas
Jefferson. Beneath the shade of this old oak
rest the remains of those two distinguished
men, IN the very spot selected by them in
their youth as the place where they desired
their bodies to lie when their spirits had
taken flight. Dabney Carr having died while
MT. Jefferson was away from home, was bur-
led at Shadwell the birthplace of Mr.. Jeffer-
son and his sister, Mrs Dabney Carr, but on
Jeterson's return the remains were removed
to the foot of the old oak; and such was the
beginning of the Monticello burial
ground. The graveyard is an enclosure about
one hundred feet square, surrounded with
new iron railing eight feet high with granite
pillars at intervals of about ten feet. The
new monument is made after the design
found on the back of an old envelope in Mr..
Jetferson's papers, in his own handwriting,
and 1t bears the inscription that he desired.
The new monument is larger than the old
one erected by Mr.. Jeffersons son-in-law and
grandson. 1t is a granite shaft thirteen feet
eleven inches high, resting. on base of three
feet seven inches, with a surbase of nine
inches, all placed on a granite foundation.
On the northern side of this monument is
the following inscriptions:

and has been married ten years. She
received internal injuries on the Bridge but
thought last night Of nothing but the loss of her
husband and the uncertain fate of her sisters Ele
and Ada Minley, who are supposed to have been on
the Bridge at the time the panic occurred. The
only sounds IN the room were the sobs and 0xola-
nations of grief from Mrs. Smith, aud the
low-spoken words of the neighbors as
they tried to offer her consolation

in its cradle and on a bed In another corner Law a
child scarcely year old, also asleep Two other
children, one boy of nine and the other a GIRL Of

Mrs. Smith said that she had gone ont with her

taking walk across the Bridge. The Bridge was
crowded when they reached it, but they entered
