Robson then informed me that he had re- ceived & deposition from the before named Samuel John son, alleging that I had sold him, and inquired what { had to gay to the charge. I replied I had nothing to say, as I did not know of Jolmson’s being sold to any one. That the said Charles R. Kobson then stated that the said Samuc! Johnson had informed him that the cook of the said ship—one George Upham—had given such informa to the said Samuel Johnson, and that if the cook ad dit, he, the said Charles R.

(four pounds three shillings fourpence) sterling per ton, and five per cent primage; but that in uence of the before mentioned illegal seizure of the said, Thomas Wat- gon, we were precluded from perfe our arrange- ments, and lost such freight. That we both, on the morn. ing of the fifteenth day of September last, protested yer- Dally against the seizure and detention of the said ship. And I, the said William Edward Cousins, for myself say, that not being permitted to go on shore, I delivered to the said Charles R. Robson, while the said ship Thomas Wat son Was off the town or village of Jellecoffe, at Quitta afore- said, a certain paper writing as a protest, signed by myself and Walter Bowie, my chief mato, setting forth the terms on which I bad employed the said Samuel Johnson, and Semetng Se circumstances under which the said Thomas Watson had been seized, a true copy of which, hereto an- nexed, is marked B.

I was thereupon informed by one of the said parties (but whether by the paymaster or the said J.

So far 80 . Affairs went on charmingly for several months, until the crash in the North and the recent suspensions in Kew Orleans.

Stillman, Allen & Co , of New York, is said to have occasioned these protests. ‘And we deem it proper to say that we have seen a letter from New York, dated the 5th inst.,to a dis hed member of the railroad company ‘here, and whict he thinks was written in good faith, in which the promis® is made to furnish $60,000 speedily, to pay off the debts of the company and for present operations. } On the 14th or 15th of the present month, Mr. Yerget the President of the road, made his appearance in - shall, and remained several days, during which time we observed that something unusual was going on. The day after he left we understood that the Messrs. Brown had closed their contract with the company and that the Pre- sident and directors here bad executed a deed of trust, which was recorded in the County Clerk’s office, together with a memorandum of the contract with the Messrs. Brown. These documents occasioned considerable inte- rest and excitement, and as many of our readers and the friends and stockholders of the road would like to see them, we publish ‘them entire. Here follows a deed of trust executed by Geo. S, Yer- ger, President of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, as party of the first part, to Benj. Long, Wm. Bradfeld and J. K. Yerger, as party of the second part, wherein all the lands of the company within the county of Harrison, together with the whole road bed of the road between Marshall and the Fastern terminus at Swenson’s Landing, the iron laid down or on hand along the line, the two lo- comotives, the cbairs, spikes and cars, and all the fran- chises and privileges of the com within the State of Texas are ‘‘bargained, sold, ferred, conveyed and released’’ to the said party of the second part, to secure the payment of a list of debts thereinafter named, reserv- ing the right to contract a preferred debt to the amount of $30,000, for the purpose of carrying forward the work ne- ceseary to save their charter from forfeiture. The debts which come next in order are as follows:— Sccondlf, to secure to Dr. Wm. C. Swanson the amount due to him for cross ties furnished or to be furpisned to said party of the first part. Also to Thomas Swanson for cross ties furnisoed or to be furnished as aforesaid, and to secure any other person or persons who have or may furnish aross ties to finish said road. The certificate of Major Blanch, the Chief Engineer, or of the President, of the amount due to said parties, or other legal evidence to prove the amount, shall be snfficient to secure said amounts for cross ties as. aforesaid, and the amount due for cross ties as aforesaid, shall have priority of payment over all debts mentioned in thisfdeed of trust, except those meniuoned above for borrowed money. Third, this deed is made also to secure the following named debts, which are to have a priority over any other debts mentioned herein, except those above specified for money borrowed, and for cross ties to-wit;—A note due by said party of the first part, to Warren P. Anderson, of Jackson, Miss., for the sum of ten six hundred dollars, due some time in January next, which debt was for money loaned said company on the pledge of three acceptances of Still- man, Allen & Co., for five thousand dollars each; also, the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, and in- | terest thereon, due tothe Union Bank of Louisiana for sary oaths.’ FRANCIS00 JOSE MIDI WILLIAM EDWARD COUSINS.

The jican proceeds to comment upon this docu ment. We quote-— This deed of trust is in ae | teageota an extraordinary and inexplicable document. Tt will be seen that a sale of the charter, privileges and y of the company is contemplated. In other words, that in the event of a fail ure to raise the necessary funds to pay off the debts enu merated, that the whole concern is to be sold out in Ja nuary Tt ® understood here that thts step ha been taken ‘without reference, perbape, to the iis) with a full nowledge and sanction of the directory below. What is ite object or purpose, is not clearly known or defined. It in aid that over inaues of stock have been made by the original controlling parties in the North tan immense anmunt, sufficient to form an incubus to prostrate the bn fl that hundreds of thousands of doiiars of stock fare held by parties who never gave an for it; that the books of the company have never been removed from New York to New rans, and that, consequently, it is Rot posible to ascertain bow much stock has been issued and sold. It is, therefore, indispensably necessary that the whole affair should be sold out and change hands. In the new organisation the real debts of the company are to be recognized, as also all the legitimate stock upon which assessments have been made. How they are to make this discrimination in stock, and to separate the good from the bad, and whether there is not an immense amount nat specified or known upon which cash has been paid remains to be seen Others again, suppose that it ie simply intended during the present stringent condition of the money market to raise wufficient money in Texas to finish the twenty miles of road and save the charter That then the labde from the State will be available to pay the debts of the compa ny and set ail afloat again No matter what may be their object, it ts certainly ex traordinary that in a deed of trust, the President and di rectors should have provided for themselves in preference to the actual creditors of the company. They have not only dove this, but have given a preference for stock holders, for whose benefit also it appears the road and its charter is to be sold out. Several amounts are to be paid, it ie stated in this document, to certain parties, without mentioning the consideration. ‘These gentlemen are known in this community as the holders of what is commonly known as “paid stock which embraced a portion of the purchase for the sale of the Texas charters. Can the road be sold out for h objects? If it cannot, why was thie deed of trust given? The directors meet in New Orleans in December ensuing and it ie due to themse|ves, as well asto the stockholders, that there should be a general overhauling of the affairs of the company, and that what is done, ould be done openly and above board. The real finaneia! condition of pany should be published to the world ual indebtedne: he company is said not to be very great, and can be easily met when the 260,000 acres of land are secured frow the State by the completion LIST OF THE SAVED.

THE STORM AT ST. LOUIS. ‘The St. Louis Democrat of Friday and Saturday thus describes the storm there: Late on Wednesday night commenced one of the most terrific storms of wind—and that of the coldest and most cutting kind—it has ever been our lot to be startled by. The dark clouds raced with lightning speed aihwart the sky; the houses shook and the win- dows rattled, as if determined that sleep should be denied our ry citizens. A solitary tree, nota very largo one, which graced the corner of the street whereon we live, was torn up by the roots, and levelled by the wind. On slipping into the street in the morning, we found the puddles and gutters frozen, the sidewalks slip- ry and a biting wind blowing in our face. The levee Bore the appearance of winter, and warm coats were abundaztly worn. the’ night the storm commit- ted great Beroe xmeag | © laid up steamers in the vi- cinity of the we at the lower end of the city. Midas, Metropolis, Mars, Elvira, Morning Star, Al ia, and six barges, were forced by the wind from their fastenings, and sent scudding across the river, and lodged firmly on a sand bar, where they remained all yes- terday. The Stephen Bayard went over to the place, in order to assist them back, but the wind was so strong that a line could not be taken to her from any of the crafts which were adrift. This morning sho will probably bring all back to this side of the river. The wind must have been violeut over a large portion of country, as only three boats arrived here, out of at least nine that were due. The Keokuk packet, the Carson, the Edi tor, and others due, had not arrived at dark. The Balti- more arrived at her usual hour, and we learned tie fol Jowing particulars from Captain Brur The J. D. Karly, epson sn, was blown from her moorings, and the York State, at the same pla ad Ler chimneys blown down. Between Alton and cuis port three or four steamboats were observed ash ‘Two barges, or wood boats, were reported sunk near (he upper ferry. Several boats that left here on Wen sday were detained by the storm. The Letty got to Alton only yesterday morning; the James Lyon had not arrived when the Baltimore left; the Minnesota was laid up in Gilbam’s Bend, wind-bound, and the John Herron ditto at Desoto Coal Landing. The Hesperian was met at foot of the Grand Chain, when she should have been up the Mississippi. Captain Goodell, of the Progress, states he was detained nine hours at Twelve Mile Island by the storm. He says, also, that the ice was strong enough opposite Alton to afford good skating to a number of boys. ‘The J. B. Carson encountered the storm near Montezu- ma, one hundred miles from St. Louis, and retreated for security under a bluff bank, from whence they could hear the strong trees in the vicinity crackling under the blast, ‘ing as if they were but slender staffs. The the Wm. M. Morrison, hence for New Orleans, hard and fast agroun’ Quarantine, her head pointing down stream, remained unmoved from the instant of grounding. Mr. Garbutt, of the Morrison, arrived overland, and secured the D. A. January to lighien her off. She will leave this morning for that purpose.

The Conewago will doubtless now seck winter quarters. Her clerk informs us that she met the “blow” at Quincy, and was not injured by it, but the old G. W. Jones, laying aside of her, had her chimneys blown overboard, and her boiler deck raised a couple of feet by the wind. ‘The Florida arrived last from , and met ‘the Isabella just going up to landing of that town. The Florida had @ rough trip down, lay five days for wind at Rockport, and aday and two nights below Au gusta; thinks the Isabella will have much trouble with the ice. The Baltimore, Alton packet, did not arrive the until yesterday morning—laid up all night at Gflham’s bend, and lost one trip. She will be down this morning. ‘The Flood at Salina—Destruction of Sait Blocks and Loas of Salt. Sesterteg afternoon we spent a couple of hours looking over the flate and viewing the wholesale destruction of the salt works located on the old canal on the road to Green Point. In company with our friends, Dr. W. H. Hoyt and J. Wesley Smith, we sailed over # large extent of territory which is usually dry land, but is now covered with water to the depth of from three to ten fect. The whole flats between Geddes and Salina are flooded, and the road between the two places is submerged to the depth of several feet; even the fences on each side of the Toad are not visible for some portion of the way. ‘The coarse salt vate on these flate are flooded, but the salt was removed in September, and the damage ia not serious except to the foundations of the vats. ‘On the fat north of Salina a large number of fine salt biocks are located on the oid canal, and aiso on a side cut made for their accommodation. This ground is all under ‘water, and large quantities of salt have been destroyed by the flood. | many of the blocks the proprietors have succeeded, by great exertions in raising the salt beyond the reach of the flood, but even in those blocks the water has done considerable damage by undermining the arches ‘and washing out the foundations of the blocks. The ex- tent of this damage cannot be certainly ascertainod, but it must be very large. It is estimated that some 4,000 barrels, or from 16,000 to 20,000 bushels of salt are dissolved in the bins, and of course uttery deatroyed. The road to Green Point is completely snbmerged and impassable, and the lower stories of the dwelling houses erected by J. P. Haskins and others, for the use of ther workmen, are completely flooded, and the tenants driven out te @ek other shelter. ‘The meadow land on the cast side of the Oswego canal is also flooded almost as far as the eye can see, and has the ance of a large lake.. The coarse salt vate ow y the company on this land are two or three feet under water, and the vats of Mr. Briggs at Green Point, are only a foot or two above the surface of the water. The towing path between Pheonix and the Salina locks is partially submerged, and boats are towed up and down by steamtugs The little steamer Major Dana brought in it boats at one tow " water is failing very slowly, and it is hoped that is over, but the flood will long be re with regret by the salt manufacturers of the —Syracuse Standard First ward..
