For the alexandria Gazette.
Notes from Fairfax.

With the prospect of soon having the Alex
anlris and Fredericksburg Railroad located
through this part ofour~ county-some descrip
ton Of the section lying southwest of and ad
;accnt to Alexandria may not be out of ORDER
and may comparatively prove of interest to
those who have long been "hiddcn in dark
ness" regarding the relative merits of our sur
roundings. It would of course DO presumptu
Gus to compare our lands, worn out By The
long course OF irregular and exhaustive farm
irg-which characterized the former owners
and occupauts-either with the fertile soils Of
the limestone regions of tho valley-or the al
luvial soil Of the river bottoms of the State ;
but We claim that by q judlclous system OF cul
t~ivation, our lands can be made equally
as productive a. the best lands OF the State.
With the application of fertilizers as used liz
all sections, our lands have produced from III
teen to forty bushels OF wheat to the acre.
Grass grows most luxuriantiy and som far.
mers are making 1t their staple crop. Clover
seems to spring up spontaneously :; and shows
the natural quickness of the sol to receive and
retain improvement, The soil from its Guilt
vation in that most exhaustive crop-tobacco,
(which in former years was carried on to q
great cxtent) had, naturally, carried off from
it, those elements, which arc most essential to
the successful production of u crop this is
evidenced from the extensive pine forests to
be found showing the absence OF phosphate,
which we find abundant whenever clearing up
the original growth : (oak, hickory aud other
hard woods and placing the land under cul.
~tivation. Application OF llme-eitner oyster
shell or stone, the former the best, has been
found TO be Of incalculable and permanent
benefit this with the use of clover and plaster
has brought land formerly worth from IS to
$40 up to $50, aud even $50 per acre. The
soil in this section is almost entirely light
loan rendering it easy OF cultivation and pc
~culiarly retentivo Of any improvement applied
to it approaching very much in it's compost
ton the loamy soil of New Jersey. 1t is sing
uIarly adapted to the culture of fruits and veg
etables. which with its nearncss to the markets
of Alexandria and Washington, offer great
inducements tor those intending to engage in
such pursuits. Search the country over and
no healthier section can be found with the
purest. water and atmosphere, we bid defiance
to those se0urgeS OF our river neighbors,
chills, and fever and ague. No epidemic has
ever visited US within my knowledge !; and in
confederation OF its health, may mention,
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1870-12-20

that we have two or three centenarians in the
neighborhood and quite a number who are
enjoying their threescore years and ten, with
the prospect of quite q number more.
In conclusion. | will add, hat to those seek.
ing a home, where health and kind soil CON-
binod with o good neighborhood and the ad,
vantages which the Alexandria and Freder,
icksburg r. r., most assuredly must give US,
there can be no moro desirable point OF attruc
ton. Any and all honest, industrious, peaca-
bly, disposed persons will most undoubtedly be
welcomed amongst us. AGRICoLA.

HEAVY FoRGERIEs IN New ORLEANS
One of the most remarkable swindling opera
| tions that has occurred, not only in this city,
but anywhere else, was p1rpetlated On Satur-
| day upon several banks Of this city by a firm
| styling itself Clayton, Williams 4 Co., engaged
for several months past in the wtiskey dealing
business, on Delta street, near Gravler. No
body has as yet been able to inform US whence
they came or who they were; and their cstab-
lishment in this city, and apparent success 10
business, is still a mystery. One thing IS posi-
tive, they have managed to gain suitlclent con.
fdence with our banking institutions to swindle
them out of between thirty and forty thousand
dollars certainly, and probably more, and then
escape with their booty.
II the matter was brought to light publicly
only yesterday afternoon, in the evening pa.
pcrs," it was pretty generally known in certain
circles, as early as half past seven O'clock, at
the Opera House, that the namo OF Comma.
gere & Lambert, liquor dealers, on Magazine
street, had been forged on q check for 81 ,0G0,
drawn on the Germauia Bank, which had been
deposited in the Louisiana State Bank by Clay
ton, Williams & Co. The discovery was made
as follows: About half. past four o'clock in
the afternoon, after closing time, the runner OF
the Louisiana State Bank called at the Ger
mania Bank, presenting the check to Mr. James
i. Cassara, the paying teller and brother OF
| Mr.. Jules Cassard, cashier of the bank, and
asking him 10 certify that the check was
| good-in other words, for those who do not
understand these business terms, 10 certify that
Messrs. Commagere T. Lambert had a sufficient
amout of money or credit 10 the Gcrmanla
Bank to meet payment of the check.
NJ (Iosoor1 hoc;fofol fn- n wbilo md than
"certificd' tho check. but laboring under some
suspicion that everything was not right, he
sought MIR. Commagere, who informed him
| that the check must be a forgery. This in
| formation was Immediately conveyed to the
| officers of the Louisiana State Bank, who had
advanced S., 900 in cash to Clayton, Williams
4 Co., on about $1,000 worth OF checks Oh
other banks, deposited by them on Saturday.
Up to last evening, checks amounting to
about to $50, 900 have been discovered in the
several banks in which the swindlers were in
the habit of depositing their money, with the
names of Hermann, Vigne, & Israel, Edmund
Burke, Commagere & Co., and 0. H. Kar-
stendiek, forged upon them, and all drawn on
two of our banks. The actual loss, so tar as We
have been able to ascertain, amounts to about
$4,000. The Bank of America is the heavies.
Loser, to the extent of about $40, coo overdrawn
by the swindlers. The balance is divided
among the Louisiana State Bank, S., 0G0; Ca
nal Bank, $4,000; and Citizens Bank, $l0,O 600.
This singular case will probably involve some
OF the banks in litigation, considering that in
some cases the certificate attached to the
checks, not paid, are invalid.-Nev Orleans
