Big fans will bo the style this spring. . . WhoF was'Rb^fonstblr??The ques? tion asked by every one when the Atlan? tic was dashed on the ehore of Nova SootJa i? ptaotioally answered!. The teof the White Star line, who sent ?hip to sea without auffloient ooal . provisions, are primarily responsi for the great calamity. The oaptain audSrihsr officers of the vessel, who ne plaineet duty, are to be iireotly charged with easting ashore the vessel, and 'thereby sending to suddeu death a multitude of men, women and children. From the established testi? mony now before us, it appears that, although the passage bad not been an unusually., long one, tho ship had hot enough coals nor provisions to last to this port. Criminal parsimony,, or a neglect equally criminal, had fitted ont the fated ihip without adequate supply for the voyage; and so it became ne oeesary, says the osptsiu, to put into Halifax. How far the agents or owners of the line were responsible for what came next, we need not now inquire. The officers In charge were incompetent and nnfiffor their post. .The captain twd made but one voyage to-'AmWoa on the ship. He had never been into <tHo -harbor 'as a shipmaster; nelWerths? the': second and fourth t?vOnd?tyon that fatal tsin had not taken any 1 he was not certain of _ ^JmWkM ship was running, _ h he knew it was increasing hourly. I The night w? not thick; bat hp to mid* night it had been brilliant with ataraf; later it was partially obscured by; drifting' j cloQds. Sambrsi i#ghV.*&&k itawrwa] its revs twenty miles out to sea,'must have been in sight more than an hour1 before the ship strtaok. That light is only nine miles distant from .thai rock where the wreck was made. Pat these facts > together, and then look ' a\'the smokingstatement of Captain WilhamB, that he went to his room and went to j ?leepl The ship approaching an un? known and danger-lined coast; officers ignorant of the navigation before them are an doty; the ebip is making at least twelve miles an honr;' conspicuously vivid beacon lights most be in eight; the | coast-line, is white with snow, and the breakers show their glistening teeth in the broken etar-light; tho reefy beach is dead ahead. Yet the oaptain of .the vessel calmly goes to sleep, and his sub? ordinates stolidly keep the vessel crash iug on to certain destruction. This is not only the great calamity?it is the1 great crime of the century. Looking at this awfol waste of human life, ovary generous impulse must flamo out'with indignation. 86 little ordinary care might nave stayed the stroko of death. Snob a fair use of common watchfulness, might have brought the I ship safely to port, with ail her precious freight of human life. But, for waut of j common precautions, the costly ship lies a wreck, and almost 600 people are atrin gled in the wild soa. We cannot say ! what; ?>w oolor may be given to faats al? ready known, when other testimony shall be heard before the court of In? quiry. But the evideuoe of the oaptain, taken with the existing kuowlodgo. con? cerning the coast, conclusively estab? lishes who is responsible for the great disaster. The parsimony, recklessness and incompetence of owners, agents and officers of the Atlantio wrought all this woe. The oaptaio, deserting hie post at the critical moment, should be punished as the immediately responsible figure in this great Bum of crime. \New York Tribune. O'JBhikn'h Commutation.?A flagrant case of commutation by tho President is. that of Charles O'Brien, convicted of the murder of Samuel A. .Canningham, in the District of Oolumbia. The murder was one of the most flagitious on record. The murderer conceiving adulterous de? signs upon the wife of his victim, delib? erately insulted her, of whioh she in? formed her husband, who, seeking an explanation from O'Brien, was instantly felled to the earth by his offioial baton, but without fatal injury. For this O'Brien was destituted of hin office, and ordered home by his superior officer. Instead of obeying orders, he procured a pistol, sought Cunningham again, and without further provocation, shot him dead. It is difficult to conceive of a more flagrant oase of unmitigated mur? der. Having put npou Cunningham an atrooious affront, which, to many minds, would have justified his instant killing, he follows it diligently up by delibe? rately killing tho man ho so wronged. ^ ? -?

O., wilt-take plsce. Port Royal u the terminus of the Fort Royal Railroad, which conneote at Augusta with the Georgia Railroad and the whole sys? tem of Southern and Western roads. It la j tbe only deep water harbor on the Atlantic eoast South of Norfolk. A line of steamships' and sailing packets have been arranged for, jsnd it is oertain that the whole through baai- ? nessof tho Port Royal and Georgia Railroad betwoon the Soathern and Northern ports will pass through Port Royal on its way to Europe and the Northern ports. Large warehouses for the storage of fertil? izers, cotton and other freights. are now under contract at Port Boyal. Near it en Port Royal Island, will be located the works I of the Marine and River Phosphato Mining Company, and a large manufactory of acids and fertilizers will be in operation, before the oloso of the year. These, with the machine, shops of tho road, will employ large numbers ' of ,mon, and attract a thriving, energotio population to this favored point. Tho terms of payment for lota will be mad* easv to artisans and others wishing to build. Of the harbor, Oapt. BonteUe, U. B. Coast Survey,says: "It is a first class pott; by that, I mean one into which any vsssol jet built can enter." Tho New York Evening Post Bays: "The last rail on tbe Port lloyal Railroad was laid on March 1. Thin gives what the South has never yet bad?a doop water bar- ' bor on the Atlantic coast." ?'As if nature intended to leave nothing wanting to renew the fertility of the soil in tbe South, it is iu tho immediato vicinity of Port Royal that inexhaustible beds of bone phosphato have been recently discovered." [Ioid. "Tho only good port on the South Atlantio, South of Norfolk, is Port Royal, and I am per? suaded that in a short time that will be tbe real out let of tbo eentral Wost on the Houth Atlantio. Of course, this involves the centre? ing ot largo capital tbore, and a steamship line. Hut the^o will come, if it bo true that it ii< tho beat port on the South Atlantio, and that direct railroads go there from the cen? tral We?t."? E. J). Mansfield. "The "Cincinnati Southern" will do more to accomplish the ontlot ot a Southern port than all other things can. From Chatta? nooga to Port Royal via Augusta is about 250 miles. It is about the same distance on a direct line from Chattanooga to Cincinnati; ho that allowing for curves, an almost direot line road tress Cincinnati to Per? B?sel may bo made at from 560 to ?00 miles. This will not only aavo 200 mtlns on tbe preaont route, but will bo a dired through line, prepared to do its part iu tranebrnng the food of the Wost to the markets of the world." [Cincinnati Gazette.
