we invite the attenton Of our readers 70 the GILL,
published in another column Of the Presdent of this
Company for q meeting Of the stockhoidefa. The
facts, as we gather them from the city pres and
from those apparently well infensd on The suhsct,
follows: Sometime last spring . Subscription
Of stock 10 this Company was made IN this city
The domicil Of the Company was established here
and the books ordered TO be Immediately renewed 10
the place Of domicL with The money raised hero,
the work went bnvely on for a time. The books in
the meanwhile were not removed. and the business
continued practically to be done in Kew York,
through Stillman. Allen 4 Co. ii August Or Sep
tember they failed, and the Company was suddenly
found to be utterly without funds Unless twenty
miles Of the road were 10 runnng order BY the 10th
day Of February 1855 the charter was forfeited. TO
meet the emergency Mr. Yerger BY authority Of the
Board OF Directors, executed deed Of trust. Money
was raised in Texas upon the deed and the charter
secured The debts secured BY the deed fell due the
l5th Of January last. Arrangements were made at
meeting Of the Directors. ia December last. for
raising the necessary amount 70 pay Of the deed,
deemed, at the time, sufficient for that pu1pose
These arrangements have utterly AiIed.
Circumstances lately occurred which caused the
creditors to suspect that they we're about 10 be un-
fairly dealt with by the Company, or some 10 whom
its management was intTasied. A demand was made
for sale and the road has been advertised 1t Is 10 b
sold the lst day Of June next Mr. Yerger s soon as
advised Of the condition Of affairs repaired to New Or
leans and called meeting Of the directors. Those
representing the New Orleans stock refused 10 meet
He then called meeting Of the stockholders The
meeting will take place to-day at II O'Clock N. An
interested will do well TO attend The ship Is about
going down the officers have abandoned their posts;
the rudder is nushpped the chart lost (; the com
pass brokenthen let the crew look to the boats and
take care of themselves.
The debt, understand, Is about $3.50 D00 and the
road lands, etc, worth probably 81 900 600 The
creditors we understand, are disposed to deal upon
the most liberal terms with the bona de stockholders
1t is with their money that the iron has been bought
and much Of the road built. In the wreck they
should be provided for and 1t is for this purpose,
we understand, that the meeting is called. Most
Of the creditors now in the city and can be con-
ferred with. We have no plans to propose. We have
drawn attention to the call so that the facts may be
known to those interested. IT, siler being fully ad-
vsed Of these facts those interested neglect to at
tend the meeting. it Is their own business We hope
and believe they will not.

when they turn their backs upon the homes
