When discovered by John O’Shields, a policeroao, Coppedgo was retreating from Smith, Coppedge having a pistol in his hand and Smith having brickbats in his hands. Policeman O’Shields testified that when he called to Coppedge to “hold on," Coppedge immediately turned on him and fired at him. Brice Webb for the State testified that Cop pedge did not snoot at that time. Coppedge ran. O’Shields and Smith followed him. Coppedge fired back at them or at one of them. O'Shields testified that he had no ill feeling toward Coppedge at that time. Coppedge was defended by Colonels 8. B. Spen cer and W. H. Hulsey in a very able manner.

Yesterday, soon after the adjournment of the Police Court, and while the Mayor and Recorder were mak ing their way ta the office of the former, they observed a negro boy, apparently eighteen years old, fall down on the pavement, wh»re he lay writhing in the agon- lee of a paroxysm for some moments. The Mayor directed tome kind colored men to carry him to the Station Honse to rest. This, and similar occurrences almost daily point very forcibly to the great need of a good Hospital in the city.

PICVXC EXCURSION TO 1CZVIUJB. Early yesterday morning the members of tbe above young but flourishing and vigorous fire company, and Urge number of their friends, left the city for the purpose of recreating and enjoying themselves at Ioeville during the day. Landing at the grounds after a short ride, nothing remained to be done but to pursne the object for which the crowd had assembled, and to this they proceeded with gloves off. The excellent platform was patronized to a reason' able extent, while refreshments and edibles i on band ic abundance, and all who felt inclined eat, drank and were merry, though not a single fire- , to their credit be it said, was seen Intoxicated during the day. Everybody enjoyed themselves, and were intensely delighted, and no accident occurred except in one instance. Frank Mills got shot—just enough to kill a few ducks on the river. Each ex cursions t, according to their taste, prtronized the refreshments, ice works, platform and river scenery. The gallant members of No. 6. have served the city efficiently in combatting the angry flames, and we are glad to see them making such demonstrations of health and bouyancy as was exhibited by them on yesterday. BOLD LAKCENY. Early yesterday morning a thief or thieves managed to effect an entrance into the rooms of the Young Men’s Library, from the street through the outside window, and after entering took and carried away a ease of coins belonging to the Librarian, Mr. Herbst, who had at much expense to himself collected them togeth er as specimens. Many of these were foreign coins from different countries, extending back as far aa the year 1700, and worth in the aggregate about two hun dred dollars. Ob ascertaining the mischief,Mr. Herbst was greatly incensed and troubled on account of the loss of the precious metals, but up to a late hour laa t night no trace of the offender had been located. A lib eral reward will be paid for the apprehension and ar rest of the evil doer—sc silth Charlie. Opelika, Ala., May 28, 1873. With this I send yon a report of the evi dence which bos thus far been taken in the case of Mr. Hooper for the killiog of Thomas H. Phillips. The excitement is very great and the feeliug against Hooper decidedly strong. As might be supposed nothing else has been talked about. To-morrow a young lady will be placed on the stand and the whole town is in a state of excitement to know wbat she will testily to. The following is tbe teEtimony :— Mr. John B. Boss having been sworn, de- poseth and saitb: I know Thomas H. Phil lips; I last saw him on Thursday evening; he was dead in tbe court house yard in Opelika, Lee county, Alabama. When the train came in from Columbus on last Thursday, I met Mr. Hooper, and told him of a rumor in cir culation about him. Mr. Hooper asked Mr. Phillips about what he said; they talked to gether about eight or ten minntes; Mr. Hooper asked Mr. Phillips to take back or deny what he said he saw, which Mr. Phillips refused to do. Mr. Phillips said that he saw Mr. Hooper and some lady go to a certain place in town. Mr. Hooper asked him to take back “that he saw him brush the leaves from off the back of the lady.'* Mr. Hooper de nied that part of the charge; and said to Mr. Phillips, I was in hopes that you would tell the troth. Mr. Phillips replied that he could prove what he saw, and told Mr, Hooper to keep cool and investigate the matter. I saw Hooper draw the pistol; they were about three feet apart ; a ecu tile ensued, and the firing took place. I met Mr. Hooper and told him of the rumor. Hooper asked him to go with him and see Mr. Phillips. I suggested to him to bring Mr. Phillips to the court honse, I would see them together on my way to the court house. I saw Mr. Phillips at Carlton A Smith’s store, and called him, and Phillips and I walked to the court house together. X told Phillips that Hooper was looking for him, and suggested that he go where Hooper could find him. Mr. Phillips walked out and soon after Hooper came in. I was in Mr. Me Namee’s office. I then got np and suggested that we all go where there would be more piivacy. We found Phillips on the southeast end of the court house. I suggested that we all sit down, which was agreed to by Mr. Phillips. Hooper objected, saying that he was unwell, and did not feel like sitting down. At this time the conversation was introduced, but I do not know by whom. I stated what Mr. Phillips had told me, which he substan tiated, that Mr. Hooper and a lady had be?n seen togother, * * * When I made this statement Mr. Phillips said yes. Mr. Hooper replied to Mr. Phillips that part of the state ment about brushing off the dirt is not so, and I want you to take it back. He also said to Mr. Phillips, I was in hopes you would tell the truth; to which Mr. Phillips replied, I have told the truth, and have only stated what I saw. In the bal ance of the conversation Hooper asked him two or three times to take back a portion of the statement, which Phillips refused to do. This was about the substance of all that was said. I first saw the pistol in Hooper’s pants pocket; they were in two or three feet of each other when I saw the pistol in Mr. Hooper’s pocket; it wa3 in his right pants pocket, he d^ew it out slowly; Mr. Phillips got almost between Hooper and myself, as soon as the pistol was drawn; about the time I saw the butt of the pistol, Mr. Phillips rushed at Mr. Hooper; Mr. Phillips jumped at Mr. Hooper at the time, or, in other words, made toward him. Mr. Phillips did nothing at the time he went towards Mr. Hooper, ex cept to stretch forth his hands ; the pistol was not out of Mr. Hooper’s pocket at the time Mr. Phillips started towards him; the handle ot it was in Mr. Hooper’s hand; he was then drawing it slowly out; Mr. Hooper fired the pistol twice; he had it cocked a third time. Mr. McNamee took the pistol from Mr. Hoop er; I saw no weapon in the hands of Mr. Phillips. The tone of Mr. Phillips during the conversation was not boisterous; it was rather mild. During the conversation Mr. Phillips remarked to Mr. Hooper, “I went to you as a father, and cautioned you in the matter;” there was nothing said during the conversa tion about a letter. Mr. Hooper showed me a letter; did not notice the signature, but un derstood from Hooper that it was from Phil lips. Witness is here shown a letter which he says is the one he saw, which is follows: May 9th, 1873. Ms. John Hoopeb: Dear Sir:—The matter you and 1 spoke and talked of on Monday morning, the 7th of April, is going the rounds about the city. I will not name subject, from the fact I told you I would not. I have kept my pledge. Have refused several times to give names when asked to do so. You, of coarse, will hear it soon. I think its first start came from some negroes. But I am satisfied that it is out. How far it has gone I can’t say; but I tell you that I am not the exposer to the public. Yours, Ac., Thomas H. Phillips. I do not remember that any reference was made to this letter in the conversation be tween the parties at the time of the killing. It was not exceeding fifteen minntes from the time the conversation commenced until the pistol was taken from the hands of Hoop er. I saw but little display of anger on either side. I did not see Phillips do anything else than is testified to above. I did not pay sufficient attention to know the position of the hands. My mind was directed to the con versation. I have stated about all that took place os near as I remember it. CBOS8 EXAMINATION. I do not remember how long I have known Mr. Hooper. I do not know his age; should think about nineteen or twenty years old. I think I know in what estimation he is held, he is well esteemed; bis general character is ;ood. 1 learn that he had been to Silver tun; I don’t know how long he had been away. I know that he had been absent; du ring his absence I saw Mr. Phillips. I think it was about a week before Hooper's return that I saw Phillips; held a conversation with him; the conversation was about Hooper and Miss Julia Barnett; the names were not men tioned; the rumor was that her chastity had bee a violated by Hooper. I told Mr. Phillips that the young lady was a Iriepd of mine and I think it is more than probable that I told him that I had come to see about it I don’t remember that he asked me who the lady was; I was referred to him by another party; the other party was Dr. Cobb. I went to him, Phillips. Mr. Phillips told me that tbe par ties, on the sixth of April, Suoday evening, went to a certain place near Mr. Phillips’ home; back of the patch near by the Terrell lake. I was speaking of Hooper and Miss Barnett; I did not mention to him the names of the parties I referred to; Phillips said, “I saw them go to a patch near my house. ***** Phillips stated that be did not know the ladv’a name nor did he say what it was; he aaia that he saw them get up, and that he saw Hooper brash the dirt off her dress or tack. In that conversation he was standing eighteen or twenty feet from them at that time. Mr. Phillips said he was in his own lot at the time he saw them, he said his wife was present when be saw them; he did not say any body else saw it; he said some negroes saw them go down there; he did not tell me that Mrs. Phillips did not see it; he said he told her to tarn her back. I went back to the patch and saw the ground; there lean opening between the patch and the houae; there is an open field west or south west of the spot of ground. Terrell’s lake is in view of the spot; Mr. Phillips’ house is in open view of the spot when standing up. I hare known Mies Julia Barnett several years; a person eighteen or twenty feet of the place referred to, would not be concealed if they who her guardian i«. I first »w Mr, Hooper last Thursday about 1 o'clock, it might have been 2 o'clock; I met Mr. Hooper at the post office; I bad a conversation with him there; I told him abont the rnmor that was being cir culated abont him and Min Julia Barnett, and advised him to take steps to correct it; I told him that hs wonld find a note for him, (Hooper) at his fathers; gome one, I think Dr. Cobb, told me that Mr. Phillips had writ ten to Mr. Hooper; Ido not know that Mr. Hooper went down home to get the letter. In this conversation, or about that time, Mr. Hooper asked mo if I would go with him to see Mr. Phillips; I told Mr. Hooper in that conversation exactly what I had heard about him, just as I have heretofore stated it; I think probable that Mr. Hooper, askod me in the conversation if she knew of the rumor; I told him I did not think Mis* Harnett knew it; I told Mr. Hooper that I wonld die a hun dred deaths or vindicate her character; that was not more than two hours before we met at the court honse, perhaps not that long; I told Mr. Hooper if he would come to the court house with Mr. Phillips, that I would hear the conversation; I called Mr. Phillips to the court house and told him Mr. Hooper was hnntiDg him for the purpose of having an interview with him about the matter; Mr. Hooper after a while camoup and went round the court house; I sat down near the! comer abont four or five feet from it; Mr. Phillips was with ns ; in the conversation then he did not say exactly what the rumor charged ; he modified a little ; Mr. Phillips said that the parties either set down or equat ed down—that they disappeared from his sight. Mr. Phillips then said, they, Mr. Hooper and the lady, stepped off a log aud disappeared from him ; Mr. Phillips 1 said he saw Mr. Hooper brush the dirt off her back or dress. I don’t remember which ; I infer red Mr. Phillips said from the Lack of her clothing. He said he was thirty steps off when he saw it. I asked Dr. Cobb or some one to step out and vacate the office, that seme one and myself might have a private conversation ; whoever was in there went out; after they went out I had a conversation with Hooper, or whoever remained in the office ; I do not remember who was in with me ; I do not remember that I said to Hooper anything about Miss Barnett, if it was Hooper with me when I had the conversation ; it was before I went into the Registrar’s office ; after the con versation I met Mr. Hooper at Shepard Bank, about three o'clock, or a little after ; the shooting took place between 3 and 4 o’clock, p. m. ; I don't think P. went more than eight or ten feet before ho fell ; Hooper also fell, why I don't know ; Hooper was backing and Phillips pursuing ; Hooper was falling five or six feet; I think they got up opposite the leit hand window of McNamee’s office ; I do not remember how he fell ; I stepped behind the court house because the parties were in a line with myself; there were six or ten seconds between the shots ; I merely stepped around the house to keep out of the way ; I do not think any one was falling at the time of the first shot; I did not go back un til I saw Hooper getting up ; what took place in the interval between tho two shots I did not see ; I saw Hooper down on the ground ; Phillips was standing when the first shot was fired ; both was standing face to face ; the last thing I saw was Phillips pursuing and H. backing ; I think some twelve or fifteen feet intervened from where I last saw him before going around the court house comer ; when I saw him getting up I saw nothing in Phillips' hand ; Mr. Phillips was rather larg er than Hooper ; I do not know Mr. Phillips’ age ; he was probably, fifty or fittv-fiye years old ; I have stated that the ladies’ name wae never mentioned by Phillips ; I told Hooper that the rumor mentioned their names, not that Phillips called them ; it is possible that the latter was shown to me in the conversation referred to. that is in the Probate office; it was after 2 o’clock when I told him abont the letter; about one and a quarter hours after I told him about the letter, the killing took place; don't remember wbat time I saw the letter; Phillips did not mention the girl's name, and I did not tell Harper so, but did tell him that Lamar mentioned it; Phillips told me that Hooper brushed the leaves off the lady’s dress, and I so stated to Hooper; Phillips said to Hooper that he did not know the lady’s name, in the conversation when the killing took place; about half an hour inter vened between the time I met him (Hooper) at the bank and the killing; about the same length of time intervened between the lime I told him abont the letter and the time 1 met him at the bank; I told Hooper at the hotel he ought to take steps to vindicate the lady. Mr. Wm. G. Phillips, having been duly sworn, deposeth: I saw Mr. Thom. H. Phillips last on Friday evening, at the time he was buried; I am no relative of the de ceased; on Thursday evening about three or four o’clock, I came up to the court honse with Mr. Hagerman; was sitting in the clerk’s window, and heard persons talking outside. I looked, and saw Mr. Ross sitting down on a rock, and Mr. J. M. Hooper and and Mr. T. H. Phillips talking; hearing the conversation, I saw the parties; I did not hear what Hooper srid; heard Phillips say he conld establish what he saw ' by responsible witnesses. They stayed there a few minutes longer, and Mr. Ross got up; Mr. Phillips stooped down, for what purpose I did not know, like he was showing something; he soon reared up and brushed his hands over Mr. Ross’ back, like he was rubbing some thing oft, though I conld not distinguish what he said. There was but a moment of time, when Mr. Hooper stepped back, draw ing his pistol, and Mr. Phillips running to ward him like he was grabbing at tho pistol. At the fire of the pistol both men fell. Mr. Thomas Phillips fell toward Mr. Hooper and] Mr. Hooper fell backwards. Mr. Phillips re covered on his all fours, or on his hands and knees. Mr. Hooper recovered ne lrly straight and fired the second time. Mr. Phillips fell over to the right, and remained there; Mr. Hooper cocked his pistol, making ready for the third fire, when Mr. McXamee jumped out of his window and hollowed to him not to shoot, you are my prisoner, catching him by the arm and taking from him the pistol. Mr. Hooper gave np, and called for the Sher iff. The Sheriff immediately came and took charge of him; I went for a doctor, aud called Dr. Shepherd; I was not gone more than five or six minntes, and when I got back Phillips was dead. I saw the bulk of the pistol first in Hooper’s pocket. There was a wound in the left shoulder of Phillips’ where the ball entered. I first saw him put his hand outside his pocket, as if he was loosen ing the pistol. Mr. Phillips was killed in Lee county, Alabama, the twenty-second day of May, 1873, (22d day May). [signed) Wm. G.

The rescue of part nf the crew of the Po laris, and the strange story told by them, has led to a great deal of loose and reckless ex- preasion of opinion concerning tbe prominent members of Capt. Hall’s expedition. There are those who profess to believe that Capt Tyson and his party were either deserters who attempted to leave the ship in boats, or ant- tracers whom Capt. Bnddington was forced to eet on shore. Others believe that Bud- dington himself cruelly deserted Tyson and hia men, while one of the Esquimaux belong ing to the latter party openly chargee Bnd dington with having poisoned Hall. There will undoubtedly be a Government Investiga tion into the matter, and we shall learn the troth.

We learn from a friend just from Canton, that a party of .ten or a dozen front Pickens county, led by one Jerry Warren, and armed with pistols and shot guns, surronnded the house of Colonel Benjamin F. McCollum, early on Friday morning of last week, called him to the door, presented a pistol at his breast and ordered him to surrender. Mc Collum being entirely unprepared to defend himself at the time, yielded to the demand, and sent for Colonel James R. Brown and and others, who examined the authority of the party tor making the arrest, and found that it come from the Superior Court of Pick ens county, based upon an indictment for a murder which McCollum was charged with committing during the war, and which had been stricken from the docket some lime ago, in accord ance with an act of tho Leg islatnre, but which had again been recently revived. Warren and bis party refused to ro- jease McCclIam on any oondition whatever, and declared their intention of taking him to Pffckens, dead or alive. They accordingly procured a rope, intending to tie tho prisoner after leaving town. He was marched before them for a short distance, when he suddenly made a thrust at Warren with hiB knife, mak- a considerable wound on his neck, bnt failing to sever tbe j ugnlar vein, which was his intention to do. He then broke ranko ar volley war fired at him, bnt he succeeded making his escape uuhurt. Ben has hot acted as he onght to hove done in many in stances; but we hope that he will be let alone, provided that be should hereafter obey the law and comply with its requirements.

Established only in August o last year, he Atlanta Herald has, in five short months, risen to the front rank of Georgia journalism, and has obtained a circulation which has not any precedent in the history of Southern newspapers. When first issued, the proprietors declared their purpose to make the Herald a bold, outspoken paper, independent of all political parties, cliques and rings ard devoted solely to the interests of the masses, without regard to class or station. The condition of politi cal parties in the South was soch, that un der no circumstances conld the Herat,t> give its Rnpport to Badicalism; hence, it haa in variably advocated the election of Democrats to office, snch advocacy being based npon the capacity of candidates. The Herald, there fore, has assumed the position of an inde pendent Democratic newspaper, and will con tinue to hold it, so long as tbe Democracy remain the political party which serves the people with more honesty and ability than any other party in the State. Nevertheless, the Herald will continue, in the future, as in the past, to criticise men and measures, without regard to political prejudices and affiliations, condemning everything its pro prietors believe injurious to the interests of Georgia, and praising and supporting all that they believe likely to promote the pros perity of the State and the happiness of her people. As a newspaper, the Herald is already ad mitted to be without a rival in Georgia. Events transpire with such rapidity that every per son who desires to keep pace with the times, must have a live daily or weekly paper. Our columns will be found to give the very latest news on every subject. Whatever of inter est occurs in any part of the world is made known to our readers, and all tbe various top ics of the day are discussed intelligently and without bias. Never before in the history of the world was it more necessary for every person who can read to subscribe for a newspaper. The struggle between centralism and Constitu tional Democratic Government is entering upon a new phase. Gigantic railroad and bond rings at the North control and direct the legislation of Congress, and as their m- ; terest can only be advanced by tbe existence | of a strong, centralized government, they are I passing laws, one by one, whose ultimate de- The I is to reduce the States to the con- Encroaehments STATE LAW CARDS.

South has been converted into a second Ire land; her governments overturned by the mandate of a petty judge, backed by federal bayonets ; her people plundered by foreign adventurers and native scoundrels, and her liberties crushed out with a ruthlessness which has not any parallel save in Polaud, Ireland, and Hungary. To day the men who straggled through six years of bloody warfare, and the children of the martyrs to the cause of South er n Independence are political slaves, and what their future i* to be, remains shrouded in impenetrable darkness. Meantime, the terrible corruptions of the party in power, as proven by the Credit Mobilier expositions, implicating the outgoing and incoming Vice Presidents, together with a large number of the most prominent leaders of tho Kadicals, are undermining the very foundation of Dem ocratic institutions, and paving the way for empire. While in the United States there is much of mournful interest to attract the reader of cotemporary history, abroad the drama is equally exciting and important. France still kept unquiet by the violence of political factions; in Great Britain the masses are moving towards Democracy; in Germany the Church question has assumed formidable proportions; in Italy the situation increases in interest, while in Spain there are evidences that the revolution which placed Amadeus on the throne is not yet ended.
