the highest pitch OF excitement and determination.

issued being to deprive the road OF any respOn-

day to Judge Peckham for the appointment OF
receiver, the complaint reciting the fact of the
suspension OF the chosen executive officers OF the
road. Judge Peckham thereup0n issued an order
appointing Mr.. Robert II. Pruyn as receiver OF tne
road. Mr.. Pruyn took possession OF the office last
evening Installing Messrs. Van Valkenburgh, Phelps

FISK, THE ADMIRAL.
Hts Cotton transactions Result In Another
Lawsuit Against Him.

summons was served on James Fisk Jr
yesterday, citing him to appear before the Sep
tember term of the United States Circuit Court
and answer in a suit brought against him by
Gorham Gray, merchant of this city. The
petitioner, in his petition to the Court asking for
a writ, says:-That on or about the month of
June, 1863, he entered into an agreement
with James Fisk Jr., to form partnership with
him in buying and selling cotton; and that by
the agreement the defendant Fisk promised and
agreed that the petitioner Gray should make
purchases and sales of large amounts of cotton
on the joint account of the petitioner and the
defendant; and that the defendant would. from
time to time, as it should be necessary in the
opinion of the petitioner furnish all sums Of
money that should be necessary to pay for all
cotton purchased by the petitioner on the Joint
account of both parties, and all moneys which
should, in the petitioners opinion, be necessary
for defraying any expenses of such purchases
and sales.
That it was further understood by the agree
ment that the profits and losses of any such pur-
chases and sales should be shared and borne,
two-thirds thereof by the defendant, and one
third by the petitioners that, in accordance with
the agreement, the petitioner purchased large
amounts of cotton, which were duly reported 10
the defendant and approved by MN; that @ the
| petitioner received from the DEFENDANT Sio,OOO,
| ana no more, under the agreement. The peti-
| toner bought large amounts of cotton, and the
| defendant subsequently refused to advance such
| sums of money as were necessary to pay Tor II,
| causing the petitioner to suffer damage 10 thC
| amount of 0,000, and compelling INN 10 sell
the cotton at prices much less than It's iIll and
| true value. The petitioner asks for settlement
| of the copartnership accounts by the Court
