A Terrible Tragedy.

The Geographic dispatches have
already referred to the suicide of the
wife of Commander f. r. Smith,
which took place at the Sea Island
Hotel. Beaufort, S. G. Tuesday last
Commander Smith, who had lived
happily with his wife since his mar
llage, in 1871, came across letter ads
dressed to her by a person now con-
nected with q naval vessel at Phila-
delphia, in which expressions were
used that excited grave suspicious,
Subsequent discoveries made in letters
intercepted in the mail seemed to con-
firm the Captains most painful APP
prehensions. On Saturday she CON
fessed deeds of infidelity with the per-
son now in Philadelphia, and did not
deny her guilty connection with an
officer of the fleet at Port Royal.
Captain Smith decided to take his
children and leave his wife. AS soon
as the separation had been arranged
Mrs. Smith purchased an ounce of
laudanum for neuralgia pains, as she
alleged which she took in one draught.
Before, however, this immense dose
was fatal she retired to her room, and
taking pistol she placed the muzzle
to her left breast and fired, the heavy
ball passing through her body and
through the blinds of the window
She died in about one hour, but never
spoke word or appeared to be con-
sscious of what was going on about
her.
DIR. Johnston, who, by the way, is a
brother of General Joe Johnston, took
possession of the remains, summoned
jury, and held an inquest. After
taking large amount of evidence, the
jury decided that the deceased had
come to her death by a pistol-shot
wound inflicted by her own hand or
by the hand of some one unknown to
the jury. The burial was private
one. Captain Smith will probably
resign his commission Exchange.
