RICHMOND, OCT. 11.
On Monday last, the day of Albemarle Court, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe, with several other distinguished citizens, attracted by various engagements, attended at Charlottesville. It is an agreeable spectacle to see such men meeting together, and mingling without any parade with the mass of their countrymen. None of that absurd pomp which accompanies a royal trip to Dublin or to Edinburgh! No political purpose drew these gentlemen together—but the holy cause of Education. The two ex-presidents and the present president, are visitors of the University of Virginia, for whose interests they were collected.
