FREDERICK, va. Sept. 10.
Gennlemen-In a communication from
Warrenton, III Virginia, contained in YOUR
paper OF the 18th inst. il is stated, on the
authority of Mr.. Harrison, that an ex
tenslve Quarry of Plaster of Paris has
been discovered by him OH the banks of
James river, about 30 miles below the CITY
OF Richmond. The gentleman who made
the communication TO YOU has been mis-
informed. Mr.. IL. neither deserves, nor
does he lay any claim to the merit of the
FIRST discovery of the Quarry alluded TO
nor will he, indeed, vouch tor its being an
extensive one. The facts are si,nplv
these On the margin of James river
about one mile below City Roint, on the
land OF The late George Rufiin, Of Prince
George county, great many samples og
the huest Gypsum have lately been dis
covered some of them have been sent to
New York, and there analyxed, and pro-
nounced as pure as ANY plaster ever iu-
ported into this country. 1t is vet. how
ever, matter ofdoubt whether there be.
any considerable quantity contained in
the bank where these samples are found
but appearances induce us at least 10
hope that here will be an extensive quar-
~ discovered, and that Virginia wiil no
longer be dependent on her neiglbors for
this invaluable mineral.
