We firmly believe that the Central Socjetv win
have 5000 paying members before the Pair. and
that the gate fees will not fall short of t5O0 for
that week-so that instead of having 10 cali upoa
our citizens TO make up any deficiency, that 90
ciety will have at least $1,000 In It's treasury afer
paying all expenses; but as this fact cannot be
ascertained In time TO make II known to the g.
Society, onr citizens are called upon to give the
guarantee asked for. and thus insure the holding
OF the National Fair 10 Richmond which guarantee
will be promptly me. by the Central Society.
HENRrco LIGHT DRAGONS. The drill
of the Light Dragons, on Tuesday last, was one
Of the best ever exhibited by that corps Indeed
IL would have been creditabIe to veteran cavalry.
There were present at the Brook Spring, the place
chosen for the celebration of the fourth anniver.
sary. about thirty Troopers, when o spirited con-
test Of firing at fall gallop took place for two
prizes. The fret was Troopers bride, presented
by Mr.. Il. Kennon, one Of he.oficers OF the CON-
pany, which was won by trooper Brock. The
second, pair OF beautiful spurs of solid silver,
presented by the officers of the corps, was won
by trooper Huffman.
Col Sherwiu McKae was called on to preseut to
the victorious troopers the prizes, which he did In
neat off handed addresses, aud which were appro-
priateiy replied TO by the recipients.
The afternoon was spent most pleasantly. Pa
triotic toasts and songs sbounded, and interesting
remarks followed by officers and members of the
179th regiment, by members of the LIST regiment
of Virginia Volunteers, SIR. Courtney and other

LOOK TO THE RkGIsrERs.-In many of
the counties in this State, farmers and others are
in the habit of employing free negroes without
registers and this fact becoming known to slaves,
numbers OF them have run of from their masters,
sought employment as free persons, and thus es.
capped suspicion and arrest Only three days since
We noticed the arrest OF q woman who bad run of
from this city, and by assuming uame and rep
resentipg herself as free, had been at large four
years when captured. gentleman residing in
Hanover, informed us yesterday of another case,
that occurred in his county, and from all we can
learn, there are hundreds of similar cases In this
immediate section of the country. III the officers
of the law do their duty, persons who hire negroes
free without first seeing their registers will be
made 10 pay dearly for their csreessness, and thus
secure slave owners against such impositions.
The STATE SABBATH SCHOOL CoNvrN.
TON, which met last night, will be In session to-
day at the First Baptist Church, where addresses
will be delivered by various gentlemen and the in
terests of the Sabbath Schools fully discussed. To-
morrow the grand procession will take place, a.
will be seen be the programme in another column.
The Chief Marshal has given orders TO have the
various streets along which the line will move,
kept clear OF vehicles of all Sorts aud II necessary
the aid Of the police will DO invoked to enforce
this ORDER but 1t is to be hoped that no one will
wilfully violate it, Sabbath Schools are institu-
tions that cannot be too highly priced by the
people of Virginia, and it is gratifying to that
they are supporting them in q becoming manner.
ed to the moral lessons taught them in Sunday
schools for their present high positions, while
there are thousands of other good citizens who
received no other education In youth save such a.
they obtained in those institutions Let us foster
and encourage them by every means within our
power, and thus furnish to the youth Of the land
a certain nursery for morality and religion.
