The New York Tribune of the 5th says
that meeting Of committee Of the Clear
ing House was held to-day, At which pro-
position was submitted and debated upon, in
regard to the course proper to be adopted in
reference to the State currency which is now
held by the City Banks and is still accumu-
latins. The proposition was not definitely
acted upon. but will probably be adopted at
the adjourned meeting to-morrow, (Thurs-
day.. The plan looks to the gradual re-
dempsion Of this currency by the interior
banks, and TO the eventual resumption of
specie payments, and is conceived in spirit
OF liberality and justice to both the Country
and City Banks. The Country Banks re-
quire some assurance from che City Banks
in regard to the period Of redemption before
they will feel disposed to expand their loans
70 any considerable extent for the purpose
Of moving the crops, &c. A few bank off,
GERS are disposed to bring about an early re-
sumption, but the general sentiment does
not fix the period as polite or possible be-
fore the lst Of July next. 1t is not probable
that the meeting tomorrow will fix period
OF resumption, but it may name one before
which it shall not take place. Practically,
however, the suspension of epecie payment
has thus far been more nominal than real
with the city banks. Few if any Of these
institutions have refused specie when asked
BY dealer, either on circulation or checks,
since the run subsidized.

What Might Have Been.

The editor of the Springfield (hlass) Republican
has been ru-ticatiBg in Vermont, looking round
among the farmers, and imagining what might
have been if he had only been farmer. Most
people when they have time for reflection. indulge
specuatioDs of this kind, and just at this time,
when all other kinds of speculatuns collapsed,
these speculations as to 'what might have been
are by no few and far between.
Imagine your correspondent imagining the life
he might have led (aud come very near leading, for
that matter among the hills as IA farmer. lie
would have grown up staiwart and strong, with
horny hands aud face black the of spades.
lie would have taught school winters. las he did }

for fifteen days in July, at dollar day. and taken
for pay the iron work and running gear of wagon.
At two and twenty, or thereaboats, he would have
begun to pay attentions to girl with father
worth two thousand dollars and spit curl on her
foreheada girl who always went to singing school.
aud sat in the seats and sung without opening
her mouth-a darnation pretty girl any way. 1t
would have been strife between him and Tom
Butts TO which should have her. Well. after
seeing her home from singing school one two
seasons Tom Butts being triumphantiy cut ont
and taking her to the Fourth of July, and getting
about hundred dollars together, he would have
married her and settled down
"fears would pass away, and that girl with the
spit-curl would have had eleven children, ust as

THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT NEAR SYaAcUsE.--A dis
patch from Syracuse, NY, dated Saturday, states
that only two persons had died from injuries re.
eeiyed by the accident the Central Railroad the
day previous; Miss Brown and Mir. Bronson An.
other injured passenger, Mr. Pettinger was in a
precarious condition, and Miss Franklin continued
in a low state, but was not considered on immedi-
ate danger. The remainder of these injured were
doing well. The Syracuse journal says:
The scene of the catastrophe beggers description.
Viewing the ruins from the east the mail car, bot
tom upwards, is the first object and il lies several
rods ahead of the locomotive, over which 1t must
have passed. Alongside of the mail car is a bag
gaze lying on the side literally smashed to pie
ces. The first passenger car lies just behind this,
upon the side. considerably immersed in water.
Miss Brown, who was drowned, was in this car and
our informant has conversed with the lady who
sat in the seat with her at the time of the accident
and was uninjured. The second car stands at an
oblique angle, the hind end upon the track. The
third car lies parallel with the track. several feet
from it, it's fore end smashed nearly through the
side Of the second Here is where the land slide
took place-the general giving way OF the nth
causing the accident. The fourth and last car Of
the train stands at angle of thirty degrees push
ing downward, with its hind end upon the track
All the cars but this nearly an absolute wreck ,
their trucks lie scattered about and there are not
yestges enough ofthe locomotive and tender left to
recognize them.
From among such a mass of ruins, where some
sixty passengers were buried, in the darkness OF
night and storm, it is almost miracle that so few
were injured.
