 BOSTON, Jan. 19.-The steamer City of Columbus of the Savannah line sailed from this port at o'clock yesterday. She went ashore on Devils Reef of Gay Head, Mar thas Vineyard, at eight o'clock this morning and is rapidly bresking up. One hundred passengers were washed overheard and drowned. The City of Columbus was built of iron, 200 tons burden, and like her sister ship the Gate City had the highest rating for twenty years. She was steered by steam and provided with electric lights for navigating the Savannah river at night. Her freight capacity was upward of four thousand bales of cotton and she had passenger aceommoda- tions for one hundred and fourteen first class passengers and sixty second class passengers. Her cabin appointments were very elaborate, being unsurpassed by any other ocean steam CT. She made her first trip from Boston to Savannah September 14, 1882. She was bought by the Savannah line two years ago and previously piled between New York and Boston. The revenue cutter Dexter has landed seventeen passengers and six dead bodies.
