Railroad from New York.

How is it that the Capitalists and Landhold-
ers of New York can remain from year to year
so Indifferent to events which are seriously en-
dangering the very existence OF their property
and Of our cltys prominence Already Boston
has covered New England with network OF
Railroads which bring her In direct communca-
ton with all the Northern and Western Lakes
through the heart Of our territory; fhnadePhla
almost touches the Ohio In several directions;
while Baltimore reaches the Carollnas through
Washington and the heart of Virginia, and will
soon run her cars to both Pittsburgh and Wheel
mo. All these Railroads maintain an active IN
tercourse and traffic with the vast interior through
the Winter, while New ork is completely frozen
in on all sides, except on the route to Phlade-
phia, (Which she has done nothing ior,) and the
Erie Railroad, which has been brought to dead
stand only fifty miles from this end, and before 1t
has brought us d dollar OF new trade. Shall we
give it up, and let the Business of our city be
drawn from us as our comparative proximity to
Europe has already been lost by the diversion of
the Steamships to Boston? Think of it.
The proposition below is OF secondary account,
considered Alone but It's reception will be OF
great moment, as testing whether our City is dead
or alive. We do hope 1T will be acceded to. Mr.
Alex. Hamilton, President Of the New-York
and Albany Railroad Company says:
If the sum Of two hundred thousand dollars
can be raised, in aid Of the subscription already
secured, the Board have determined to construct
that section Of their road which will most convc-
niently form the means Of connexlon between
the Harlem and the Housatonlc Railroad.
With this small amount, the most important
portion Of our road will be ready for use within
twelve months, and the whole construction will
not exceed one-tourth of the money expended
on any Railroad of equal length IN the United
States
The money we propose to raise IS to be exclu-
sively appropriated to the object for which it is
asked, and as perfect guaranty to the most fas
tidious, the President Of the City Bank, Gorham
| A. Worth, Esq. has consented to be the receiver.
The depository will be the City Bank, and 10
portion of the deposits can be withdrawn except
or the drafts of the President of the Company,
countersigned by the Treasurer, in favor of the
parties to whom the Company may become in
debted for the special object Of the subscription.
Having thus removed the possibility of any
question as to the direct and legitimate employ
'ment of the funds, and acting under the belief
that the community feel some interest III the
rapid prosecution of this invaluable work, appi-
cations will be made for subscriptions, through
channels of wdoubted responsibility.
Mr.. CLEvENGER.-We were very much sur
prised to see announced in the list of arrivals yes
terday, the death of MIR. Clevenger, on board the
nsIo Iar froy,, I rhrrti
to this port. Mr.. Clevenger was an American
sculptor and had been residing for some years
in Florence. His great work was an Indian, the
model of which was nearly completed last spring.
He had spent great deal of time and labor on it,
and had succeeded admirably i'll his character
1t was much admired by the Italians, both for its
workmanship and the novelty of the design. A
bold wild Indian, it presented a strange contrast
amid the classic statuary of Florence.
1t seems but few days since he sat down to
tea with us at our rooms IN Florence A happier
man and pleasanter companion we never re-
member to have met, and when the chimes rung
midnight it seemed but an hour be had been
with us. He was strictly an American genius.
All his tastes and sympathies, and indeed all his
subjects, were American. He was a western man
in feelings and character, and would have been
an ornament to his country. He died at sea, OF
consumption, on the 2Sth of September.
