We suppose there never was a time when the currency of the country was so completely clogged and embarrassed, as at the present. Much of this has been the result of unwise and hasty legislation. When our own Slate government opened the door for the introduction of a species of Banking, sanctioning the issue and circulation of an unlimited amount of Shinplasters in which the people were nerer expected to have permanent confidence, many were the fears of results similar to those which have in a very brief period been brought upon us, by shavers and brokers who only want the sanction of law for a location to oppress and swindle the community. In the act creating the Free backing cystem of Indiana, the people are now seeing the folly ol their Legislation. We had one of the best and most creditable State Banks in the United Slates. 'Wars and rumors of wars had been made upon it, and still it faced the.storms of adversity and was promptly recievrd and credited by all classes, and had our Legislature increased the number of its branches, and authorized the issue of an increase of its circulation, there is no doubt but the principle object of the Free Bank advocates that of inducing foreign capital to seek an investment amongst us would have been as easily and mor safely accomplished. It enjoyed an unsulied reputation. The business was undoubtedly here for its profitable operations and the rushes on its vaults by sharpers and brokers, would not have been so frequent and disastrous as has been the case with our Free Banks. The approaching session of our State Legislature may yet remedy this growing and still threatening evil. They should continue the existence of the State Bank by extending and giving it a more liberal charter. We believe it to be the duty of the people and the press to demand it for

Several of the dead were crushed out of all human shape, presenting a heart-sickening sight.

The official returns of ihe election in this State appear in the State Sentinel, omitting three coun lies to be heard from. We wish to publish the returns for future reference (not that we care whether tee ever tee them again or noi) for the benefit of our readers, and to do so, omitting the three counties mentioned, would not give the true result, and we do not wish tu publish the list twice. Stark county is in our Representative district and an adjoining county, and it is one of these omitted. The fusionists show a comparative majority of about 11,000. There is still some little dispute about the Senate the fusionists claiming it as a tie, and ihe Democrats relying upon a majority of two. When the counties are all reported, our readers shall have the official returns.

Our State Stock Banks appear to be kicking up nn excitement all over ihe West. We have already given details of the excitement at Cincinnati and Chicago. The Louisville Journal of Saturday last says; The Currencv. The notes of the Indiana Stale Sto:k Banks aro generally refused, though some of ihe wholesale dry goods houses take them in preference to sixty lo ninety days' notes in exchange for goods. Some of the brokers are buying some of ihem at from 5 to 10 per cent discount, while others refuse lo touch them at any price. They aro not consideied valueless, but the impossibility of rendering them available for some time to come,and the largo amount they already have on hand has forced most of ihe bank ers lo fnrsue this course. The slock bank at Madison and a few others are exceptions. They have funds deposited here for redemption of their notes, and ro long as tliey coniinuo lo do so t hey will bo taken ai the same rates of discount as the notes of the State Bank of Indiana

Urtadful Accident-Collision on the Great Western Cailwaj Great Loss of Life! The Detroit Daily Free Press of Saturday morning says that one of the most dreadful railroad accidents that ever occurred took place yesterdoy morning, about thirty miles from that city. The passenger train on the Great Western Railroad, due there at 11.20 P. M. on Thursday, came in collision, at five minutes past five A, M, on Friday, with a gravel train, a short distance east of Baptist Creek. The bodies and fragments of bodies of 47 persons were found, and about the same number were seriously wounded. We have not room for all the particulars this week as our paper wag made up when we received them. The scene presented after the collision was a horrible one. Intermixed with the fragments of the broken cars, dead bodies lay in profusion, many of them mangled in the moat dreadful manner; while from out the heap of ruins proceeded the groans and shrieks of the woundeJ. Th passengers who were ao fortunate as to escape uninjured immediately set to work to draw out the wounded and the dead from the heap of ruins in which they lay. At 11 o'clock A- M. the bodiea of twenty-five men, eleven women, and ten children, had been brought to light, and it was supposed that from ten to twenty others yet remained tobe discovered. Twenty-one men and twenty women and children were found to be adly injured many of thim fatally.

Distinguished Guest. Whilst some eight or ten persons, ladies and genlleman were just beginning to enjoy themselves over an excellent dinner prepared at the public house of Mr. Chamberlain at Rochester,

in Fulton coucty, on Sabbath last, a boy. i

who we suppoae was attending to barroom duties, ushered into the dining room a darkey in the person of Mr. Brooks our barber at this place, w ho very deliberately took his seat at one end of the table and 'cut in" wilh an enernv

his seat, but allowed him lo hunt one for

of attending to custoiaers was all right, as

f he was nothing but a darkey. We shall

not censure the landlord, but the darkey should have known his place better than to have adopted that plan of getting two inches higher in His boots. Thus we progress. rioeinnati and car Banks.

Some of the bodies had been burid, some were in tents under a boat that had been turned over to form a shelter, and several lay scattered about in ililferenl directions. Of Ihos found on lhe island on'1 wa6 supposed to have been an officer, s he had a telescope strapped over hi shoulder, and his double-barreled gun lay underneath him. From lhe mutilated 6tate of many of the corpses, and the contents of the kettles, it is evident that the party had been driven to the lost resource, "cannibalism,'' as a means of prolonging life. There appears to have been an abundant slock of amunition, as the powder was emptied in a heap on the ground by the natives out of the kegs or cases containing it, and a quantity of ball and shot was found below high water mark, having been left on the ice close to the beach. There must have been a number of watches, telescopes, compasfces, guns &c, all of which appear to have heen broken up. as Dr. Rae saw pieces of these different articles with the Esquimaux, together with some silver spoons and fcrks, as mauy of which as could be obtained were purchased; and a list of the most important of the relics found, with the draw iogi of others, were to be forwarded to London.
