Capt. Mccormick, of Dr. Hayes expedition, thus
writes to friend in New York:
OPPERSAvlH, Aug. l6-We have been greatly
favored thus far, in making the passage to Disco
twenty-tour days, being the quickest passage made
by any OF the Arctic expeditions. Oar little craft
IS all could wish her, and have not spared her
our only accident so far has been the stavug in of
our stern boat.
We have had very heavy weather in cominp
out. The waves rolled in one side and out at the
otner. Dry clothes we have been strangers to-
pole. :"
We have lost of our hands-Caruthers the
cafpenter-Who was found dead in his bed. We
buried nm here. Our surgeon leaves us at this
place. Our whole company are united and in ex-
with laughter.
This evening we leave for the North, stoppino at
llSsuasah, to obtain few more dogs We take a
new hand from here, the son-in-law of Peterson
who takes the place of the carpenter
Look for our return in about two years
FURTHER PARTICULARS CONCERNING THE HAYES Ex-
petition.
FROM one Of the committee concerned in the
hayes expedition We have obtained further infor-
nation in regard to the enterprise, brought bv
Dr. Longshaw, of Cambridge. The vessel reached
Proven, on the coast of Greenland above Disco in
twenty days, being less than half the time taken bv
the Kane expedition. She proved an excellent
vessel, and though rather heavily laden, sailed
some days $50 miles.
At Proven the stores were taken out and exam
ined, and found to be of the first quality. The
preserved meats were in excellent condition, and
the whole outfit satisfactory. One or two articles
that mad been omitted accidentally were obtained
from Danish vessel at Uppernavik. At Proven
they also obtained forty dogs and all the skins thew
desired. ~
They were kindly received by the authorities
mere and at Uppernayik, balls and other entertain.
ments being given in their honor; Dr. HAYES left
enough provisions at Proven to supply the crew of
the vessel on the return passage, taking therefor
the receipt OF the authorities. This lightened the
vessel some twelve fifteen inches The provisions
lett on board he estimated sufficient to supply the
crew for more than three years.
- Alter leaving Proven the vessel proceeded to
cppernavlk, the last trading post the coast and
from there to port two degrees further north
%nere she remained when DR.. L. left. Here he
found that his eyes were affected by the ice and
tearing that he might become blind, with consent
OF DR.. Hayes he left the expedition and came home
AT that time the furs previously bought were being
made by the Esquimaux.
The thermometer was at zero and the vessel was
surrounded by thin ice, but would sail for more
northern regions in short time, and DR.. HAYES
felt confident that he would be able to reach
smiths Strait before the final closing of the ice.
The strength of the vessel had been proved bv a
colllslon with an iceberg, which did it injury
DR.: l.: speaks in the highest terms of Dr. HAYES,
and of his GOODNESS in times of danger. The sailing
qualified for his position.
DR.. l.. passed down the coast to Uppernayik,
where he took passage for Copenhagen in a Danish
vessel that makes an annual voyage to the coast,
and from thence came home after visiting Paris
London and other places of interest.
CorToN CULTURE ABANDONED IN INDIA.-Foreion
papers contain the following very significant para
graph, showing that after all the protraced efforts
to grow cotton in the British Indian possessions,
the attempt has at length been abandoned as hope
less:
'In the annual report of the Bombay Chamber of
commerce statement fhof fha T,l;
government had finally abandoned, as being hope
less !allures their experiments at cotton growing
In that country. These experiments had COM
menced as far back as 1889, and were prosecuted
almost without ntermission during the seventy-two
years that have since elapsed They had cost
from first to last, f350, 900, and, as the report
states, had absorbed the energies and intelligence
OF governors, collectors, commissioners, American
planters, and painstaking amateurs Yet the re-
suit OF all this prolonged effort and enormous outlay
had been nothing but continued series of disap-
pontments. One solitary success is recorded as
having been achieved, on "a small scale by Mr.
Shaw, collector at Dharwar, who, taking UP the
enterprise in $780, upon an area of only 22O acres
developed the results so rapidly that in 1851 there
were 81 ,688 kupas' planted with American, and
2Z4,3l4 with native cotton, and in 1856 the area
Increased 10 LOO, ZIG kupas appropriated to the
American, and 23O567 to the native variety of the
plant. 1t does not appear that Mr.. Shaw was as
sisted by any Government grant in this work: and
at all events. all direct cooperation of the State
abandoned"
