We are now at Westfield, a large and thriving village. The railroad runs upon its north bound- ary. By a law of the State, where railroads cross each other the trains of both on approaching the crossing must come to a dead halt. So our engine is now taking breath immediately in front of the crossing of the New Haven and Northampton Railroad, ria Westfield. From Westfield east, the valley of this river becomes a spacious and beautiful one, exceedingly fertile (by manuring) and well cultivated and improved. Its farms are said to sell for near $200 per acre, though on ques- tloning my informant J am satisfied that its average yield of cereals, the grasses and tobacco, all of which are cultivated successfully there, do not pay better than auch crops raised upon well tilled Maryland and Virginia farms, worth from $40 to $50 per acre. Ere entering Springfield. Mount Holyoke, far famed in the self-beputting annals of Massachu- setts, rears its head far above those of its fellows in the distance—say ten miles cff—and is pointed out to travelers just as we cross the Connecticut, as the curiosity of the vicinage. On crossing the river, we at once enter Springfield, which fairly disputes with New Haven the sobriquet of the ‘City of Elms”’—a beautiful rural city truly, grace. ful yet piquant in its every attribute as seen any- where from the windows of cars on this road. To us of the South It is best known of all New Eng- land towns as the headquarters at this season of the year of the lions of Yankee transcendental litera- ture; a tribe who eternally imitate the habit of the frog in inflating bimaelf with pride to ridiculous importance, (according to the fable handed down from Jésop's time ) Half a dozen railroads con- verge in the Springtield depot; a spacious and ad mirably constructed one, wherein, though thronged froma morn till night, and then from night until morn again with passengers arriving and de- perting by the multitude of trains stopping bere on all the five or six heavily traveled railroads, accidents have never yet occurred that I haveever heard of. We are again off for Boston, after a delay of twent¥ minutes to dine. Mount Holyoke loos bata little to the north and west of us, and as it stands so m higher than any other point of this territory, can probably be seen from all loca- tous for twenty or thirty miles sround. We now course through a highl)--ultivated agricultural country, the soil of which is naturally very poor evidently, though what we at the South regard as enormous expenditures for manuring—say $50 per acre on corn—enables them not only to get back that money, but a fair interest besides, upon their lands. A well-lnformed and intelligen, gentlemen at iny side tells me of their almost fab" ulous expenditures, and that they are made to pay by the particular application of the grains, &c , they forced from mother earth’s here reluctant bosom. Corn grown here sells as roasting ears, as far as such a sale for them can be obtained. If allowed to harden, the grain is fed to forced young ducks, chickens, and geese, sold in early spring in the markets of New York, Boston, Al- bany, aud the hundred other cities and consider- able towns within twenty-four hours by rail This is “truck-farming” with a vengeance. If paying here, how much more would {t pay if fol- lowed after the same fashion {n our latitude, with our much greater advantages of soil, climate, &c Ten miles or so east of Springtleid we again get into a comparatively rough country, with Lills' covered with scrub timber. and fields dotted with beulder rocks, and we are perpetually cross- ing and recrossing an inconsiderable stream, up which we are wending our way Villages are multiplying, each succeeding one showing, in the manner in which It is ballt, that we momentarily go nearer and nearer to New Engiand’s emporium, which she so fondly calls the modern Athens. After pessing Brookfield, 25 miles west of Worcester, we enter a beautif i! country, a—for this region—wide and highly-cul- tvated savanna,with dark, swift-coursing streams in all directions, and bill-bound edges as far off as the eye can penetrate the distant view. Ere reaching Worcester Junction, where four railroads come together or branch out, (one going to Nashua, N.H , another to Norwich, Ct., and another to Providence, RI.) we were de- ined some minutes, to enable passengers to ar- range themselves in the different trains The lest ten miles ere reaching it was through a desolate country, overgrown with brush and scrub, though on reaching it we suddenly came directly upon a beautiful, higtly-cultivated and densely-popula- ted country, admirably built up. With the Wor- cester Catholic College (a branch of Georgetown College) and the Worcester Medical College (and female institute combined) forming the two most conspicuous pictures of the scene, the view of Worcester and its surroundings we enter it from the west is a strikingly-plessznt one, indeed, ‘The extensive machine shops, depot sheds, turn- outs, &c., of the various crorsing ratlreads here, form the object of perhaps greatest interest to the teavellng stranger. At Springfield and Worcester one can obtain an idea of the locomoting habit of New England generally, every man, woman ard child here seeming to journey by rail ten times as much annually as the people at large do in our own section. Our stay in Worcester was not more than five Mfinutes; when we were off again for Boston, 10 miles east, traversing a beautiful manufacturing and agricultural region, every mile of which isf.- im lar tome, insomuch as when a boy { was en- ged in the construction of this railroad. As I p ssed through its villages and along its streams and ponds to-day, reminiscences of long forgot- ton associations in them, came thick and fast to mind From Framingham—20 miles out from Wor- cester—down to Boston, the route of this roed THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY... August 14, 1960. Spr ef the Mornivg Press. The Constitution draws 2 comparison between the political zecords of Messrs. Douglas, Clay and Webster, on the Territorial question, to show that the first does not occupy the same position thereon that the two letter did in the Compromise times of 1850, as claimed by Mr. Douglas in a recent speech at Springtield, Mass The same paper publishes and commends to popular attention, the recent speech of Senator Bright in the Indiana Democratic State Conven- tion The Intelligencer concludes itselaborate review of the political topics of the day. oe - {7 It is currently reported that Mr. Yancey ‘Will soon go North to vindicate himself before the people from charges of disunion Naw Music —We have received from Met- Zerott, the ‘ Marche Celebre du Tannhauser” of Wagner's, arranged by Fradei for the piano forte; @n arrangement designed to take well amongst good performers on that instrument UF The Atlantic telegraph is abandoned. The late attempt to raise the cable met with 2 signal failure, and it will not be raised. Bebrings Straits now begin to be talked of as the next route for attempted inter-continental telegraphic com- munication UF In New York, on Sunday, a young man twenty years of age, named Patnell Calahan, while disputing with some comrades about cour- age, snatched up a table knife and stabbed him- self several times in the stomach, to show that he ‘was nota coward. He was under the influence of liquor at the time. He will probably dle of the injuries. {07 We have received from Shillington (who bas the book for sale) “A Political Text-Book for 1860," comprising a brief view of Presidential nominations and elections, including all the national platforms ever yet adopted, and con- taining a great amount of statistical information indispensable to the politician. The bock is published by those experienced political statis- iclans, Messrs. Horace Greely and John F. Cleve- Jand, New York 7 In regard to the Japanese swindle in New York, it is now thought that unless a bill of “items” is given for the bill of $105,000, the whole subject will be turned over to the consid- eration of the Grand Jury, with a view to the formal indictment of the parties implicated for an attempt to defraud the These proceed- ings will be independent of the Chatfleld injune- tion to retrain the Comptroller and the Mayor from paying tbe bill. U7 Lady Franklin appears to have been a con- Siderable traveler, having visited some of the most interesting portions of the Old World. She ac- companied her husband (Sir John Franklin) to America, on the occasion of his overland expedi- tion from Hudson’s Bay. Her present visit to the United States, it is said, is taken principally to gratify ber desire to see Mr. Henry Grinnell, and to express in person her gratitude for the deep in- terest and sympathy he manifested in her behalf i> In the short time which has elapsed since the opening of the ports of Japan, its commercial cities have received a sudden impulse of pros- perity. At Yekuma a rors} hamlet has expanded into 2 populous town, with new public edifices and spacious warehouses of the foreign merchante. ‘The products of the Japanese soil and of Japanese industry are exported in large quantities, and the consequence is already that the priees of the necessaries of lite have advanced in so great a de- gree as to occasion serious complaints. NoutB Cagotina ELgction —We learn from the Raleigh Register of Saturday that at that time the returns cf the late State election were stil incom plete. From nine nties the returns had not then been received. Excluding these, the whole vote polled in the Governor’s election is 103,728, by far the largest vote ever poiled tn the State. Gov. Ellis beats Mr. Pool about 5,500 Mr. Pool gains on the Bragg and Gilmer vote up wards of 7,000, and on the Ellis and McRae vote about 11,000. In the Legislature, the Union party has made a clear gain of sixteen members—fiftecn a the House and one in the Senate. {57> Detatls of the Mexican news, already no ticed in a brief dispatch from New Orleans, have reached us. Advices are from the city of Mexico to the 17th and Vera Cruz to the 2ist ult. Attairs at the capita¥ are reported in a more disorganized condition, if possible, than ever. The juz ctivity of Miramon—who was reported t® be at Lagos, undecided which way to turn—waee giving great dissatisfaction to bis party, and a move ment for his final overthrow was considered highly probable. Senor Pacheco, the Spanist Minister, was reported to be at the bead of the agitation against Miramon, and several persons were already spoken of as likely to succeed him Another report was to the effect that the foreign representatives were about to inaugurate a move- ment to make Miramon Emperor. Meantime tte Liberals were rapidly approaching the capital on every side, and only needed some man of decided military genius to lead them, to enable tuem to 2equire and hold entire possession of the country. es Tur PersoxaL APPEARANCE OF Tix PRInce or Watee be Bostou Traveler says: ‘* There is a unanimity of opinion expressed by the writers who have described the personal appesrance of this young gentleman which must have struck ‘the most casual reader.
