STICKING TO TIE SHIP.

BosToN, July 19-All the officers and
crew of the steamer renamed on board
when the passengers were taken off by
the tug, with the exception OF the baggage
master, who accompanied the passengers.
AT the office OF the company in Boston he
made the following statement: "There is
not very much that | can tell you
about the affair. We simply ran aground
during dense fog, and that is all there
was OF 10. This happened, l should
say, about 7:l5 O'Clock Sunday
night. The shock TO the boat was
not great and the passengers were very
cool throughout the five hours they had to
wait before the towboat Brown picked US
up and carried us to New Bedford. They
amused themselves in the best way they
could, conversing, playing the piano,
etc. There were fifty-two passengers in
all, most of whom went to New Bedford.
Some twelve or fifteen, however, did not
like 10 trust themselves In the towboat,
and therefore remained on board the Gate
City.
NEVER ANY DANGER.
"There was at no time any danger.
After the steamer ran aground she was
as solid as any building in Boston. The
principal cargo OF the vessel was water
melons, of which there were about $4,000
on board. There were, however, In addI-
ton. hides, timber, tomatoes. ETC."

month the weather has materially
interiered with growing cotton, which
remained In the fields, and some loss
Is reported from this cause. IL Is safe,
however, TO estimate that up TO December
1876 per cent. o. the crop had been
picked. THIS Is NOR than true OF
the hill lands, but q .arger per
cent. remains ungathered 10 the
bottoms, and unfayorable weather
that prevailed during November retarded
planters In this connection, aud In many
instances has caused decrease In the
expected yield AS previously re-
ported. the Memphis district, which
comprises West Tennessee, North
Mississippi, North Arkansas and
North Alabama, and which raises
one 9th uf the entire crop OF the United
States, seems TO have been favored one
this SEASON, as compared with
other districts. IL is the only one
that shows an increased yield
as compared with last year. The
outcome, however, IN this district will
not M the expectations Of planters r.
celpts Of cotton at Memphis are $4,000
hles In excess OF all previous years.
This Is due to the additional railroad IA.
cilitles, which nave been brought
by extending lines from
this city TO the south, and
southeast. The pr sent crop, although
late one, has been marketed with free
dom, and the pressing necessities for ex
port and OF spinners at home, has made
good demand for the staple at tirm ngures
since the opening Of the season. Our

cotton belt enables us TO make an esti |
mate q the total yield Il the present
