INFLUENCE OF RAILRoADs.-How Rail
roads beget wealth, is very well told IN
Concord, IN. H.,) paper
{" A short time since, we met heaVhy
loaded team little distance from town, car
rying chestnut sleepers to the depot. Beng
Of a peculiar shape, we inquired to what
use thew were to be appropriated. The
teamster replied that they were engaged by
q contractor, and were to be shipped to Ha-
yana, to build Railroad in the island OF
Cnba. Concord chestnut, once nearly WORTH
less. now bringing a high price, and shipped
1000 miles to build Railroads We believe
the teamster's load was worth about $50,
and all clear gain through the magic infu-
ence of Railroads.
A respectable citizen of our town, once
resident in Springfield, on the dreary height
of land between the Merrimack and the
Connecticut, near which the Northern Rail
road is to pass, lately informed us he had
tried long and earnestly to sell a lot OF tim
her land for "a per acre, but all in van.-
Not long since some gentlemen called upon
him and offered $40 per acre, which he ac-
cepted, though he might have done better by
waiting"

CunIous CASES OF MApSEss.--The Bos-
ton Transcript says, that several instances of
alienation of mind produced by reading the
details ofthe Praslin murder are mentioned
in our French peppers. One young lady,
recently married, holds the husband of her
choice in such dread, that she barricades her
self in her chamber by night, and repels all
his advances by day as 50 many attempts at
assassination; aud their honey moon Is not
yet ended. A workman of 81. Etienne was
suddenly stricken with madness after reading
the horrible accounts of the Praslln tragedy.
Placing himself before the mirror with pis-
toll, he shot at the reflection of his person,
cxclaiming, aim goiugto kill MYSELF Then
at the report of the pistol and covered with
fragments of glass, he fell to the floor, cry
ing. al am dead" He has ever since been
under the delusion that he is in the world OF
spirits. and when food Is offered 10 him he
repels il with the remark, "the dead 40 not
eat"

GEN. AMPUDIA.-The day of trial for
this redoubtable Mexican appears to have
come at last. From the Mexican papers
recently received we perceive that he has
been ordered to be tried for misconduct at
Monterey. Some OF the Mexican editors
not content with denouncing his coward.
ice as displ ayed in the late mpaIgn, call
to mind his shocking nhumanty towards
the late Gen. Sentmanat and taunt him
with his vlllalnOus brutality We find in
the papers letter from Ampuda to one
of his friends in the city of Mexico, writ
ten from San Luis Poos as late as the
I'd ult. In this he endeavors to account
satisfactorily for the loss of Monterey. 1t
is really amusing to see how the fellow
can lie-it appears indecorous to speak
thus of the commander of the armies of
our enemy, but Ampudia makes himself
an exception to the ordinary rules of cour-
tesy. After censurlng the ineficiency of
Tore on and Canales for not encourag-
ing the advance of the American army
with their cavalry, he comes at once to the
events of the 18th and following days of
September. He says he found himself at
Monterey without money, without fortii-
cations properl y designed, much less
completed, and without time to prepare
for the reception of the enemy. Speak
ing of the fighting which ensued, he says
that the Americans were very superior in
number, and yet in every conflict they
suffered the greater loss, it being certain,
he says, that whilst we the MeXicans
lost about 465 men of every kind, killed,
wounded and missing, the Americans lost
ll24 killed, 1880 wounded and more than
1000 missing, the greater part volunteers"
He proceeds TO assign the immediate
causes of the capitulation, and in conclu-
sion of his letter reviews the whole mat
ter and reduces to four distinct grounds
the facts upon which he relies to Justify
himself for the fatal issue of his campaign.
The fourth of these is nothing more than
the arant Of munitions of aoar, principally
artillery and provisions. Our readers
will recollect the long list of captured
property which we published shortly after
the captulation, and judge of the honesty
OF the above assertion.
But enough of this valorous Mexican
for to day. He belongs to a nation where
favOrite of fortune receives no quarter
when he is once down. The press of
Mexico has already commenced stripping
Ampudia of his borrowed plumes, and we
perceive by his own letters that he keenIy
appreciates his forlorn and contemplate
position.
