THE WORLDS FAIR,

Cur readers are aware that it has been deter
mined TO hold aWorlds Fair in the CITY of
London, i'll 1851. Every nation on the habita
bic globe is invited to present there, for e1hibi-
ton, such articles and productions of their
country as TO them may seem fit. No doubt it
will be the most magnificent Fair ever held, and
consequences may result from it which will be of
advantage to mankind. Attention is being call
ed to this matter in the United States, and the
Governors of the varons States are taking the
necessary steps to have their respective States
in London. By referring to another
column the reader will perceive that Virginia is
moving in this matter, and notice is given to
all who may have articles they wish exhibited
to forward them to the Local Committee at
Richmond as speedily as possible.
-Four hundred and fifty workmen are now en-
royed Oh the building in which this Fair is to
be held, and the work is rapidly progressing -
Notice is 10 be given the London commissioners
how much space each State will occupy.

OHIO AND ITS PROGRESS.

The present year IS one Of unprecedented
prosperity in this State, taken as an entire COM
irnuni,y The epidemic cholera has indeed pre-
vailed at three or four points, but the great part
of the people have remained in health, and ii
is doubtful whether the ordinary mortality Of
the " hole people has been at all increased. In
the meanw bile the harvest of the year has been
most extraordinary. Not one OF the various
crops have failed, while the principal ones have
been greatly above the average. The heat
harvest OF Ohio has unquestionably exceeded
80 900 900 OF bushels. Fifteen millions or one
half the crop is most ample supply for the in
habitan,s of the State. Ohio, therefore has 49,
600 900 of bushels Of wheat or 5000, 600 barrels
of -four for export. When the reader recoects
that in the last commercial year the entire ex-
port of -four and wheat reduced to -four from the
United States, was bnt 100000 barrels, he
will realize the magnitude and importance of
the wheat harvest Of Ohio. The exports Of
grain and flour from Ohio alone, will exceed half
a million of barrels the entire export of those
articles from the United States In other words,
Ohio has furnished the entire export of -four for
the nation, the entire consumption for itself, and
half million of barrels for other States.-No
other State can render such an account for any
article of produce. But, this is not all The
corn or maize crop is rot less than 50,G00,000
of bushels, which furnishes surplus TO faten
thousands of beef-cattle for the Atlantic cities.
tens of thousands of swine to furnish picked
pork for the commercial marine, for the southern
negroes and for the epicutean appetite of those
who love good hams.-Caninrati ChYon1cle.

FREE CoLoRED PERSONS.

There has been quite stir among the free
colored persons in this county within a few days
past, and large numbers Of them have appeared
in Court to get their free papers renewed. Our
Magistrates are determined to see the law re-
specting this portion Of Our population strictly
complied WITH and hence the anxiety on the
subject. There are several free blacks who have
remained here for years after they were manu-
mittsd, and others who have resided out of the
Commonw ealth, and then returned and made Ii
their residence. There were several cases CT
this kind before the Court sitting this week
Tucker lsaacs, oo.ored person, owner of a
handsome property, and residen. OF Charlottes-
vile, would have been condemned for violating
this law, but he case was dropped upon his
counsel's agreeing that he would leave the Com
monwealth within 60 days. The case of his
n other, Nancy West, was laid over for 60 days.
This old woman is in her 10th year, and is the
owner Of some of the most valuable property in
this town. She was born and raised here, and
with the exception ofthe time she was out of
the Commonwealth IA little upwards of a year,
has always resided in Charlottesville. 1t may
seem hard TO enforce the law in her case, but as
there are Others who are not as wealthy, against
whom the law will be enforced, it is probable
that she cannot escape It's penaly.-Jet.

A FAITHFUL SERVANT.

STRIKING EXAMPLE OF FIDELITY New
Orleans Picayune, of October 9th, records the
following trait of a beautiful fidelity and homes
,y in negro slave, of that State, towards his
master:
Bya sailing vessel from Vera Cruz, which ar
rived at New Orleans on Saturday last, came the
negro man, Marshall, a quiet, modest, nnassnm-
ing person, Oh his way home from California.
He went out with his MASTER Mr.. Russell, OF
Claiborne parish in this State, Nho was taken
sick last winter at the mines, near the foot of
the Nevada mountains and after long and Sc
we're illness, died. Marshall took the utmost
care of his master was his faithful companion,
nurse and friend, al(, watched by him nnceas-
ingly until he breathed his last. There was no
thing LEI. 10 pay the funeral expenses and doc
tors bills. a.shall set to work and laboured
hard until he managed to scrape together enough
to settle these debts-(s0o)- -debs which moth
ing but an admirable respect and veneration for
his masters memory, an exquisite feeling OF
pride and affection, compelled him to pay
How few white men, near and dear relatives
would have done much He gathered TO-
gether his masters clothes and other personal
effects and, with about $1,000 that he had
made, started home to his masters family, not
withstanding his knowledge that he was free in
California, and the many inducements held out
to him to retna in there He took the cheapest
and most dangerous route back, going in sail
ing vessel to Acapulco, and crossing Mexico Oh
horseback from the former city to Vera Crnz-a
very dangerous route. The American consuls
at both places took so much interest in him as
to give him letters of recommendation, and to
request of him TO let them hear of him. He
broeht to this city several letters to persons liv-
ing here or in The country, and which contained
gold dust. The letters were somewhat solled
and trayed but were perfectly intact His ex-
penses home were heavy, owing to unavoidable
delay on the ronte. The faithful servant started
home last evening on Red River boat. He
had letters from various persons in California to
gentlemen of this city, recommending him, in
the warmest terms, to their notice and protection
which We're instantly accorded. MIR. Farquhar,
an intimate friend of his master, has written from
California, to Mr.. Russeli's family, stating that
the unfortunate geutlenan's last reques. was
that his faithful servant should be emancipated
aud provided for by them as soon as he reached
his home in Louisiana. II ancient days the
story Of his honest and pure hearted slave would
have bsen written in letters of gold and handed
down to postelity as rare trait in the bright
ste of human nature. We can ony tell the
simple and affecting storyas it was told 70 MS !;
IL deserves and will receive universal attention
aud esmmendatiea-
