After the witnesses had been sworn and put under the rule, the State, represented by Mr. W. Dessau and Judge George T. Bartlett, put upon the stand Mr. LaFay- ette Balkcom, who testified in substance, as follows: u. I know the prisoner; (pointing lnm out) I knew Solomon Roberts; he was killed last Saturday week, the 13th of March, in the city of Macon, on Third street, at .the mouth of the alley between Cannon & Co.’s and Burke’s store. He was killed by Bud Roberts. At the time of the kil ling they were between the two sidewalks opposite the alley. Bad was facing me; could see his right side and face over Sol’s shoulder (here describes his own and other parties positions). Bud came up before the shooting and motion ed to Sol, saying, “I want to see you.” Sol handed his brother Jack his umbrella, put his bauds in his pockets and followed Bud to mouth of alley. Bud said, “I un derstood”—the balance I "did not hear. When they reached the mouth of alley Bud squared himself around and they be gan to talk. They talked quietly; saw Bad draw round with his right arm back; (illustrating) Sol stretched out his left hand saying, “don’tl don’t!”. Just then the pistol fired; he staggered forward, and fell, twisting over on his left side as he struck, and then rolling over with face up; a pistol fell and lay at his left side; Bud ran off. (Here follows description of his own actions). Not more than a minute had elapsed between time Bud called Sol. aside before the shot was fired; Sol was killed by the shot; died in fifteen minutes. Bud had both hands in his pants pockets when he came up; Sol. put his in when he walked aside; gave Jack umbrella to hold; don’t know why; Sol was about six feet high and weighed 190 or 200 pounds; Bud weighs 140 or loOp don’t know- that he is sickly; called Sol off quietly; my at tention was first attracted by way Bud came up and Sol went off; could not un derstand conversation; didn’t see Sol’s pistol drawn; if he had it in front of him, could not have seen it; Bud’s came from his right pocket; motion of drawing and firing was very quick; Sol grabbed toward it with left hand; was,waking side sted forward; Bud’s pistol was a self-cocker; don’t know what Sol’s was; don’t know whetherilre drew;don’t think ho could have drawn it after he was shot. . ■ ;' Mr. Jackson Roberts, brother of de ceased, testified in accordance with mate rial facts of above, and the State closed the case. M ,. Mr. James Whitehurst was then intro duced for defense, and testified in sab- stance as follows: Was coming out of Wall street. opposite the alley.

The tall man had on a coat or cloak; hjq. left hand was extended and, left side to ward me; the pistol (or, whatever it wa?) was in other lrand. 1 was aqross street coming down.the alley (Wall strept.). - Mr. ~ Whitehurst was cross-examined with great-strictness,-but the above is in substance, as before Stated,The sum of his knowledge of the tragedy.

" T** *"?•»••• • We do not pretend here to giro a At the closeof services, the body, under escort of the Volunteers, and followed by one of the largest processions ever seep ip the streets of our city, was borne to the old burying grounds below the.city, and laid away under the pines to rest; bat ere the company parted forever with old “Bengy,” they fired a salute for the dead, above his grave, rendering to .him the same honor, which for more than half x century they have rendered to their own members whom death has laid low**,•, The action of this company is s.remark able event in its annals and a* significant one in the annals of Southern society. While the Radical press of the North, and its few representatives throughout pur sec tion, are doing what they can to foster x spirit of bitterness between whites and blacks; while nearly every paper we read, brings to light new slanders,and misrepre sentations of the relations between the two races, here in the heart of the South, we behold a company of gentlemen hastening to render to its faithful servant honors identical with, those they have paid to the proudest in the land. What a picture! And it was - an honor paid through no sense of duty alone. Almost simultaneously through out the company, wa3 expressed the desire to render it. Men who had not donned the uniform for years camq^forward. ypl- nutarily and shouldered ’their muskets once more. The tribute laid, at the feet of the dead, was manhood’s triimte to manhood, and the quick rendering of which, honored alike the living and the dead. The old soldier has passed away forever. In his dying words he told his life’s history—let U3 write them on his tomb: “I have fought a good fight for my country and my God and I am ready to go.” a[> y . Another Shooting- Case. i ■>.

A diffi culty, we learned, had occurred between Col. John B.

Ex- Assemblyman John W. Browning ad dressed the meeting, contending that man’s labor was as much his own as any article of merchandise, and he had the -option to charge high or low. If the Stein way men made an appeal for higher wa ges, he saw no reason why other manufac turers should combine and forma lock out against the workmen ofthe trade gen erally. It was stated thatSteinway & Son had given notice to the key makers in the Asteria factory to remove their tools'in five days, as they intended making other Arrangements. “ t ’' 1 New Orleans, March 21.—John New man, qnartermaster of the steamship Lone Star, fell dead at the wheel at noon to-day, while the. steamer was loading.

London, March 22.—A Cabul dispatch says the communication delivered by the British cnVoy to the native chiefs atGhuz- nee, has been been happily responded to. General Roberts bas received a letter, written ostensibly by Bay Prince Moesa La'Har, signed by all the chiefs at Ghuz- nee, intimating that being assured 6f our friendly intentions towards them, they are ready to' submit to come in v a' body to Mxidon, and there negotiate. The vari ous local chiefs of Loghan and Kohiston have been invited by them to present themselves for the same object.

London, March 22.—Oxford won easi ly by three and a half lengths in twenty- one minutes-and- twenty-three seconds; time of finish, one minute past eleven. Cambridge started' at the rate of forty strokes per minute and Oxford at thirty- seven or thirty-nine strokes. The race at the commencement was beautifully close. Cambridge at firstgained a slight advan tage from rowing a quicker stroke, but the Oxford drew to a level with them by the time a half mile had been traversed, and at Glass Wharf, minutes from start, had a load pf a few . feet. When a mile had been traversed, a splendid struggle took place, and Cambridge again recover ed the lead, and opposite Crabtree, one miloand a.,quarter, from the start, it seemed as if tbeywould row right away, but the spifrt' had told upon Cambridge, who began to row short. They, hpwever, maintained the lead to Hammersmith bridge, half a mile further on, partly .be- lause of the bad steering by Oxford. The mats .were level shortly passing the bridge and an exciting struggle was maintained o Clieswick. The irregularity of the Jamjiridge, however, perceptibly increas- I ng, while Oxjbrd, rowing like a machine vlien half way up Clieswick, Oxford crew led by half a length.;. At Chiswick Church, about two miles aiid five furlongs, from tlie start, the race, which had so far. been one of the finest ever seen, was virtually over, Oxford leading by two lengths. The crowd pres ent was smaller than usually congregates to witness tlie University boat race.

White Mr. Newcomb amf Mr. Wilson have made no definite trade that can be discovered, it is certain that they are simply awaiting events before com mitting themselves openly, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Messrs. Wil son ahd McGhee are ready and willing to aid actively, in the building of the Geor gia Western whenever they an? satisfied that their aid will build it. This may be relied on and I violate no confidence in saying as much, or I *m even justified in saying that propositions are pending con sidering the pooling of .the Macon and .Brunswick extension and!' the Georgia Western in one scheme, 1 and putting out a joint bond, thus making a route from' the west to Brunswick. T aps aware that it is attempted to keep this, secret and disavow it, but a short time will show that my in formation is correct, and at the 'proper time I can give my authority. If the building of the Georgia Western is once determined on, as 1 believe it will be in a few days, the alliance will be made plain enough.
