Cape Romain light-house station a tragedy, whioh is terrible in its details. It is one of those horrible mysteriea that baflbJ all at? tempts at solution. The faotti of the case, as far as-they oan be gathered, are as follows: Captain Andrew Johnson is the keeper of the light-house at Cape Romain, where he resided with his wife. On the evening of the 8th instant, about 5 o'olook, Captain Johnson went up to the light-house' to light and trim the lamp for the night. He left hia wife in the house, whioh ia in sight of the light? house, and in the yard of whioh she was seen by him tip to 6 o'olook, when it be? came too dark to distinguish objects. At abont half-past 8 o'clock in the even? ing, Jnlius L. Lee, one of the assistant keepers, went to the light-hooae to re lieve'Oaptain Johnson. In a few mo? ments, Lee went out on the piazza of the station, and saw Captain Johnson running towards the dwelling of the as Biatants, crying out that hia wife was dead. The body of Mrs. Johnson was found lying in the centre of the floor, olad in her night olothea, and surround? ed by a pool of blood. A revolver be? longing to her husband was lying by her Bide, but its chambers were not dis? charged. The deadly instrument with whioh the terrible deed had been com? mitted was a razor, by which her throat had been cut from ear to ear. There had evidently been an attempt to use tho pistol, whioh was not successful. About the room was lying a lot o! wearing ap parol of the unfortunate victim and some of her husband's jewelry. All of her own jowelry, however, was missing, as was also a lot of money which she had in her possession at the time of her death. The door leading from the room to the piazza, which fastened on the in? side, was open, and an attempt had evi? dently been made to pass oat of it. Iu the garden below, a pair of gold specta? cles belonging to the deceased were found. Previous to the tragedy, Mrs. Johnson had called upon her neighbor, Mrs. Lee, and appeared, to be in good health and oheerful spirits. Captain Johnson statea that she had once told him that she bad on a previous occasion attempted to take her own life, and that on several occasions she had talked and aoted as if she was a little "flighty." The deceased was a native of Sweden, but had lived in thia country for twenty - two years. At the time of her death, she was fifty-three years old. [ Charleston News. More Confederate Archive?

A line of steamships and sailing packets have been arranged for, and it is certain that the whole through busi? ness of the Fort Boyal and Georgia Bailroad between the Southern and Northern ports will pass -through Port Royal on its way to Europe and the Northarn ports. Large warehouses, for the storage of fertil? izers, cotton .and other, freights are now under contract at .-Fort Boyal. Near it on Port Boyal Island, will ba located the works of the Marine and River Phosphate Miaing Company.' and a large manufactory of adds and fertilisers' will ba in operation before the close of the year. These, with the machine shops of the road, will employ large numbers of tmen, and attract a thriving, energetic population to this favored point. The terms "of payment for lota will be mads easy to artisans and others wishing to build. Of the harbor1, Capt. Bontolle, 17. B. Coaat Survey, says: ' ?' " "It is a drat olaas port; by that, 1 mean one into which any vessel j et built can enter." The New York Evening iPoaf says: "The last fail on the Port Boyal Bailroad was laid on March 1. This'gives what the South has never yet had?a deep water har? bor on the. Atlantic coast." "Ab if nature Intended to leave nothing wanting to renew the fertility of the soil in the Month, it ia in the immediate vicinity of Fort Bojal that inexhaustible beds of bone phosphate have been recently discovered." [ibid. "The only good port on the South Atlantic, ! South of Norfolk,? Port Boyal, and I am per I euaded that in a ahort time that will be the real .out-let of the central West on the South Atlantic Of course, tbie involves the centre? ing of large capital there, and a steamship line. But these will come, if it be true that it ia the best port on the Bouth Atlantio, and that direot railroads go there from the cen? tral Woat."?E. D. Mansfield. & "The "Cincinnati Southern** will do more to accomplish the outlet of a'Southern port than all other things can. From Chatta? nooga to Port Boyal via Augusta is about 350 miles. Ft is about the same distance on a direct line from Chattanooga to Cincinnati; so that allowing for curves, an almost direct line road from Ornoinnatt to Port Boyal may be made at from 550 to GOO miles. This will not only eava 200-miles on the present route, but will be a direct .through, line, prepared to do its part in transferring the food of the Weat to the markets of the world."
