"3 GEORGIA PRESS. The Henry County Weekly is clamor- v*. for a new depot at Hampton. The editor says that more-guano has been re ceived at Hampton this last season than at any other depot on the Atlanta extension, and that more cotton has been shipped Horn there than any other point, save Griffin, during the past season. The Madisonian says: Mr. John Stovall, aged 80 years, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this county, died last Sunday. _ raCTO 11 Louisville News and Farmer: _ A negro man by the name of Charles Cole man, who lives on Mr. George Cains place, while passing from one cabin to another, possibly half a mile apart, the route he pursued carrying him through a piece of woods, was shot at twico by some unknown party. He was shot in the hip and the buckshot were extracted from the wound by Dr. Terrell. Berrien County News: Just now the sheep owners in this section are busy dipping wool. For some time past tlia people have been penning their sheep, and now they gather in crowds at some stated flum and have a merry time taking off the fleece. On these occasions the neighbors wives and daughters also gather, and a hfe dinner is prepared—such a dinner as many of the city hotels cannot furnish on short notice—and around the well-laden hoard the hardy sous of toil gather at noon-day and discuss the tempting viands, while many a lively jest and ringing laugh enlivens the occasion. Valdosta Times: Mr. John Harrell had a sporting day last week. By dinner lie caught sixty trout, and that afternoon ha killed a fine buck. How is that for sport- iig? "We clip the following from the Bain- hridge Democrat*, and it is the substance ef all tne addresses delivered by Col. H. S. Haines, along the line of the Savannah, Florida & Western: The address was delivered in a plain, matter-of-fact business way, and elicited the undivided attention of the audience. Major Haines denied that he or his road was making any light against the railroad commission. On the other hand he was in favor it, aud was among the first to advo cate its adoption. All that he was con tending for was “just and reasonable rates,” just both to the railroads and the people. That the commission had not given the Savannah, Florida & Western railroad such just and reasonable rates, he plainly showed to the satisfaction of all. He did not believe that the law con templated that railroads should be run at a ruinous loss, nor- did he believe the people desired it. In the course of his remarks lie elaborated upon the sys tem of managing and running of rail roads, entering into the minutiae of the business, giving his audience much infor mation of which they had been ignorant. He took the position, and very correctly, that but few understood the working of railroads, and he thought it essential that at this time particularly, when the State assumed the control of this great interest, the people should understand something of the subject. For this purpose, and no other, he was meeting and talking to the people along his line of road. Thomasville Times: Gus Stephens, Xdored, was struck and instantly killed by lightning on Tuesday afternoon between two and three o’clock. He was working with Mr. L. Yarnedoe, three and a half miles from Tliomasville. Thomasville Times: “Macon,” a cor respondent of the Telegraph and Mes senger, lays great stress on the fact that only one of the railroad commissioners has any knowledge of railroading. He doe3 not seem to think it was necessary to have some one on the commission who had a knowledge of the rights and interests of the people. The railroad champions are not willing to rest their opposition on the law creating the commission, but must at tack the individual members of it. Atlanta Phonograph: The city di rectory of Atlanta just now being comple ted, will show show a population of 43,- 000. The census, it is thought, will dem onstrate that Atlanta has a population not less than 45,000. Albany Adcertiser: A gentleman of this city, who owns a plantation, and has been a planter in southwest Georgia for twenty-live years, when asked for an item of news this morning, told us that we might say to our readers that lie had never seen anything to compare with the pres ent prospect lor a com crop. We had ex cellent weather for planting the crop and S uing it to a good stand, and the season s been remarkably favorable so far, for its growing. Atlanta Post: Those who are so anxious to sustain the “dear people” . against “rapacious railroads” and “cor morant corporations,” should not over look the effect which the workings of the commission has on a very large class of the “dear people.” One of the first moves of one of the principal railroads af ter the new rules went into effect, was to announce a reduction in the wages of its employes. There is no doubt this action will soonor or later be followed up by all the railroads in the State. The result will be, as is always the case in employing men at low wages, a general inefficiency in railroad employment. Accidents and inattention to business will follow. To do good work men must be well paid Jonesboro Neies: The council of the town of Jonesboro have ordered the mar shal to prevent whispering or other dis order in the rear of the churches, during divine service, and Marshal Hudson says he will enforce the order strictly. Boys and girls should be on their guard. The ■penalty for disturbing divine worship is very heavy, and a little unseasonable courting, or other fun may cost more than it comes to. The indeeorons habit of levity in church has become entirely too common. Columbus Enquirer of the 16th says Yesterday afternoon Colonel Robert Thompson was stricken with paralysis in the left side. Physicians were summon ed, bat he grew rapidly worse. Last night at 12:20 o’clock he breathed bis last, and, surrounded by his family and kind friends, vnssed quietly away. The many friends and comrades of this gallant soldier will roceive the Intelligence of his death with sadness. Lumpkin Independent: Already the caterpillar fly lias been seen in this sec tion, and even one genuine cotton cater pillar was discovered near here on Tues day. We are reliably informed that mil lions of little green grasshoppers are eat- in" up the young cotton, and that a hew 3p?des of bug is also doing sad havoc to the voting plants. It is of a dark, slimy blue color, jump3 almost equal to a grass hopper, and when it alights upon the cot ton it sucks the very life out oi it. Of these hugs our informant states that, in K ce of ten feet, he saw at least one mil i bu^s. With the continued rains and ether disasters, the outlook is anything but encouraging. „ , ■ Albany Advertiser: The first caterpil lar of the season was found by Mr. John Reynolds yesterday, on his place across the river. It had eaten up the stalk of cotton on which it wa3 found, and had already webbed itself up preparatory to - .itch in? out another crop.

A party of about thirty ladies and gen tlemen left Macon at seven o’clock Thurs day morning to visit the Lunatic Asylum atMilledgeville, and witness the barbecue and dance to he given to the inmates on that day. Midway was reached at 10 o’clock, and here the party found carriages in waiting to carry them to the asylum—a mile dis tant. Here they were received with great courtesy by Dr. Powell, the Superintend ent, and Ins excellent corps of subordinate officers, who, before repairing to the festi val grounds, took great pains in exhibit ing the premises. The Milledgeville Lunatic Asylum, as all our readers know, is something gigan tic. To begin with circumference, twen ty-five to thirty acres of ground are en closed with a solid brick wall eleven feet high, which was itself no small undertak ing. Within this enclosure, and in front of the main structure there is a flower gar den of about three acres, now in gorgeous efflorescence, presenting a beautiful ap pearance and tastefully setting off the broad avenues of approach to the impos ing main structure, which is an immense building, with spacious halls and corri dors,admirably planned for light and.ven- tilation. All the halls and passages are twenty to twenty-five feet wide, and there is half a mile of them in this build ing. : c On one side of the entrance to the re ception room we noticed the new tablet lately erected to the memory of Superin tendent Dr. Green. This is very beauti ful, and bears the following inscription: “In memory ofThomas Fitzgerald Green, born December 25th, 1804, died February 13th, 1870. Thirty-three years of his life, devoted with supreme affection, unwea ried zeal and arduous labor as resident physician and superintendent of this in stitution, Georgia’s greatest charity, hear witness to his Christian character as a phy sician and philanthropist. Science mourns his loss, humanity reveres his name, re ligion embalms his memory.” I have no leisure to speak of the build' ings constituting the asylum and -its ap purtenances. They are numerous, but I did not count them. There is less than a mile of them if strung together in a con- uous line. Major Fuss, the well known architect of your city, has been here since September last erecting two large brick ed ifices for the accommodation of colored patients, ef whom there are now between one and two hundred. The whole number of patients- reported to-day was 812, and these, together with the officers, attend ants and servitors of all kinds, I suppose would make up a population of about a thousand on the lot. I am told tlie aver age cost per patient is thirty-four emts per day. There are no pay patients now. The State foots all bills and must here have a plant in real estate of about a million dollars. » I am not dealing in empty compliments when I say that all tho visitors were amazed at the extraordinary nicety with which these buildings are kept- The floors are spotless and shine with their frequent rubbings. The bedding white as snow. Not a mote of dust to be seen, and everything in perfect order! The asylum is now provided with a co pious water supply and ample gas works- What it needs to perfect it in appearance is some application to substitute the mas tic stucco with which the main buildings were originally colored. Somts prepara tion like that used on onr courthouse, but of the color of what is called Nova Scotia stone, would be beautiful I have no time to-night to speak at length of the dance and barbecue.

Yesterday morning in the Superior Court, his honor Judge /Simmons presi ding, the case of the State vs. James Rob erts, charged with the murder of Solomon Roberts in this city on the 13th of March, was called. This is the case known as the Third street killing, and the facts are doubtless fresh in the minds of the public: Having twice published the evidence in this case, we refrain from all save the principal points in the testimony of two opposite witnesses. The entire morning was spent in striking a jury, but finally one was ob tained. The following are their names: Robt. S. Saulbury, Samuel D. Cook, James H. Birch, C. W. Walker, William Flowers, Durham G. Smith, Jas. Brown, Henry C. Taylor, P. G. Doody, A. G. Smith, Wyley N. Arnold, Charles E. Fuss. The State’s witnesses areLaFayette Balk- com, W. G. Roberts, F. S. Johnson, E. T. Morton, Samuel Barron, James Barron, John Bradley, Joseph Glawson, Allen Wheeler, Lee Smith, Jack O’Neal, John Hurley, Dick Cochran, P. McCafferty, Joseph Wilburn, R. E. Thompson, D.

Roberts, Jake Shorter, John Strip- ling, Randal Stripling, — Ramil. The first witness introduced was Mr. LaFayette Balkcom,.who testified in sub- stance, as follows, illustrating, with the assistance of Deputy Sheriff Dave Wes- cott, the positions of defendant and Solo mon Roberts at time of difficulty: I know the prisoner (pointing nim out.) I knew Sijlomon Roberts; he was killed last Saturday week, the 13th of March, in the city of Macou, 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 kill ing they were between tne two sidewalks opposite the alley. Bud was facing me; could see his right side and face over Sol’s shoulder (here describes his own and other parties’ position.) Bud came up be fore the shooting and motioned to Sol, saying, “I want to see you.” Sol handed his brother Jack his umbrella, put his hands in his pockets and followed Bud to mouth of alley. Bud said, “I understood,” tho balance I did not hear. When they reached the mouth of alley Bud squared himself around and they began to .talk. They talked quietly; saw Bud draw round with his right arm back (illustrat ing;) Sol stretched out his left haud, saying, “don’t, don’t! ” Just then pistol fired; he staggered forward, and fell twist ing 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 liis pants pockets when he came up; Sol put his in whtn he walked aside; gave Jack umbrella to hold; don’t know why; Sol was about six feet liigh and weighed 190 or 200 pounds; Bud weighs 140 or 150; 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 oil! 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 making side step forward; Bud’s pistol was a self-cocker; don’t know what Sol’s was; don’t know whether he drew; don’t tliink.he could hare drawn it after he was shot. Mr^Frank Johnson was next introduced- and questioned more particularly as to the positions of the two men at the time of shooting. »V - * • Lieutenant Hurley testified as to the arrest. * Mr. James Whitehurst testified for the defence in substance as follows: _ i it again? only were heard. James Rob erts began to back, tbe other Advancing, pistol Vj in band, with' . left hand outstretched, as James Rob erts reached tbe break in the sidewalk he ^tumbled, straightened himself, drew a self-cocking pistol from his pants pock et and fired, the whole movement being executed with lightning rapidity. Sol Roberts was struck in the forehead, threw Up his right hand from which his pistol dropped, whirled half round and fell, dying in twenty minutes. The de fendant is short in statue, weighing about one hundred and forty pounds; the de ceased was six feet in height, and weighed two hundred pounds. This is the evidence" as elicited; true, witnesses differ as to whether Solomon Roberts drew his pistol or not, but two swear that be did. The pistol was found by liis side, and a third witness swears he saw it fall from his hand as he was shot. THE PRISONER’S STATEMENT. Well, the way the first of it was, we were at Baer’s corner, my brother and I. I said let us go over to Cannon’s store to see about getting some com and meat. Com is cheaper at Cannon’s. We had got to get some in the wagon, and we started across the street and went by Nussb? urn’s comer, and up the street to wards Cannon’s store. I den’t know if Sol (the deceased) was standing in front of the door or not, but he was some where about there. I don’t know if he was outside or inside, but I went and spoke to him and said, “Step here, Sol, a minute. I want to see you.” The reason I wanted to speak to him was, me and old man Jack had a little quarrel before that, but I met him one day and told him if I had done anything to hurt his feel ings, I was sorry for it, and to forgive me; I did not want to . be mad with him or any body else. He said he oner as leniently as his duty would per mit, pleadipg defendant’s youth, the be reavement cf his wife, and the cries of his child. JudgeSimmonsseemedverymuch moved and stated that while his sympa thies went out to the prisoner, still he was bound to see that society was protected and the majesty of the law upheld, and sentenced the defendant to ten years in the penitentiary. — Pending the motion for a new trial, Mr. Roberts was released on $5,000 bond, and about dusk yesterday afternoon he left in a buggy for Jones county, in company with his wife and child, where in the circle of home some ray of light may come home to him in his hour of dark ness. “No* entity.” -The case of Aleck Stone for the lulling of Obie Wilson, on the day of the city treasurer’s election, by stabbing him in the eye with an umbrella, was tried yes terday afternoon in the Superior Court. Solicitor General C. L. Bartlett represent ed the State, and Judge Lyon, Washing ton Dessau and H. F. Strohecker appear ing for the defense. Though the bill of indictment charged murder, the State waived that issue as being unsustained by the circumstances and tried it onthe other grades of homicide. It soon became ap parent by the State’s own witnesses that no case could he made out against de fendant, for he was shown to have been endeavoring to escape from Wilson, who was proven a desperate character, and that Stone merely was striving to ward off Wilson’s attack by means of the umbrella. It was also proven that Wilson had a razor and bad nothing against me, and we let it go i that the cuts in Stone’s coat showed that nislied-by an amateur band from Eaton- ton, composed of young gentlemen who volunteered their services, and played in excellent taste and harmony.. The leader was a comet soloist who would attract notice anywhere. There was little in the dance to remind one that it was not an.' entirely level-headed per formance. An occasional grotesque ness'might excite a smile, .but tho whole performance was pleasant and enjoyable. The tables were spread with food enough for a division. Shotes, mutton, chicken pie, vegetables of all kinds, pick les, preserves, cakes and other delicacies crowded the board. The people ate as if hungry, and universal festivity crowned the feast. Every one left pleased and de termined to go again. , New Publication. Moffit, a novel,- by Mrs.' Ophelia Ncsbit Reid. J. H. Estill, publisher," Savan nah, Ga. Muffit has been running as a serial in the Savannah Weekly News, and is one of a series of novels by Southern writers, which the enterprising publisher proposes to pat before the public. The author is a lady who has already won- for herself name and distinction in ths State. She 4s the daughter of one of Geoigia’s most dis tinguished sons, the late Eugenius A.Nes- bit, judge of the Supreme Coufl^. ltim=. -self brilliant in intellect, polished in man ners aad address, and possessing a mind clear and critical in its operations,- the fa ther’s power seems to shine again in the productions of the daughter, To heil in herited clearness of mind, the authoress of Muffit has added a fancy and an imag ination boundless in extent, rich in color and tender in. its touch.' Her works are marked by a refinement and delicacy seldom found in modem fiction. Muffit has long since spoken for itself and needs no criticism. -It is the * story of a girl told by herself—the path of an or phan from the cradle to maturity. The authoress deals "rather in the extraordi nary of life than in the ordinaiy, and the objects within her pictures stand* out boldly because the shadows behind are black. Still there are fancies and deli cate touches exquisite, because their beau ty independent and inherent. The rainbow cannot exist without the cloud yet the blush onthe shell is deathless Muffit is a book fit for any household; though falling-under that class known as light works of fiction, no one can read" ft without being impressed fcyjts parity.

That he saw the entire affair, and that Solomon Roberts, deceased, did draw liis weapon and adyancetuppn the defendant, who re treated andlffred with fatal effect- - We have refrained from "publishing the testimony as taken-upon this trial, for the reason tliat it has twico before been pub lished", once in connection with the coro ner’s inquest, and "once upon the prelim inary investigation. The facts of the case however are as follows: On the 13th day of March, Mr. Jack Roberts came to this city, accompanied by liis two sons, W. J. and Solomon Roberts. Upon the same day there ap peared' in the- city two young men, broth ers, and nephews of Jack Roberts, by the names of W. J. and James Roberts. Be tween JJiek Roberta aud this" nephew, James, a difficulty had occurred some that way. He said “we will he just as we were before; I think a heap of you.” Sol had taken it up. I did not wan’t any fuss; we were living on joining planta tions, and I never had had any fuss with him. I thought I would take Sol out and talk to him. I saw be looked liked lie wa3 mad. I said “step here a minute, I want to speak wfth you.” He looked mad, and fired up when I spoke, and Tie rammed ids hand in his pocket and said “What do yon want ?” He had Ills pbtol this way (illustrating); I could see the handle; he pulled it out at the store when we started. He had on his overcoat; it came over his hand and part of the pistol; I could not see all the pistol; I don’t know if it was all out of his pocket or not;. I on ly saw part of it. And I told him I wanted to drop . the fuss and was willing to make friends right here. Me and the old man hare made friends, and I don’t want to be mad with anybody; I said I am willing to make friends, if you did run me out of town. I only spoke a few words; he did not give me time hardly to say that before he said; “Yes, I did, and I can do it again,” and he reached out his hand to catch hold of me; I don’t know whether to get hold of my coat collar or lappel; he reached out his left hand; I had both hands in my ] lockets, aud stepped hack as he came on; stepped back two or three steps on the bricks; I don’t know how far; I was excit ed and never noticed how far I stepped back; I know I liked to have fallen; I told him to stand back but he kept coming on me, and I thought* it was my time;, if I did not shoot I would be shot, and I jerked my pistol out that quick and shot as quick as a flash of lightning. I had my right side to him just so (illustrating.) After I shot I turned round and went into Burke’s store; when I ran in I heard some one hollo, “police!police!” I came to the door aud looked out, and I saw Uncle Jack coming across from towards Baer’s corner about on a half trot, so I thought it best for me to_ get, away, and I put out down the street to get away. I was walk ing down the street. I don’t know if I was trotting or walking, but when I got down the street a little way by Burra’s store, they taken me. Directly after, Jack run up and hit mo two or three licks while the police had hold of me. “Have you anything more to say?” (by the court). Nothing, only I taken him aside to make friends with him. I had-made friends with Uncle Jack. I don’t think he will’deny that, because I would wear before God Almighty, if I was going to he hung, that that was my intention, and if he denies it I can prove it.” The State is represented by C. L. Bart lett, solicitor general, assisted by Judge George T.’Bartlett and Washington Des sau, Esq.; the defense by Colonel C. J. Harris, Captain N. E. Harris, and Captain John L. Hardeman., The argument was opened by Judge Bartlett, who was fol lowed by Colonel C. J. Harris, Captain J. L. Hardeman, Washington Dessau, and (Captam Nf E. Harris, whose speech was Lint^rrvpted'by the "adjournment of court late in the afternoon. He will conclude this morning, when the Solicitor will sum up for the State, and tho case be given to VflqUj! ^ j The argument of the defense is that the prisoner, ht the time cf the shooting,, )vas actuated by fear that his life was in dan ger; the fear of a reasonable man, and that he fire4 to save his life. On the other hand it is argued that James Rob erts went up to Sol Roberts with his hand uporvhjs pistol, with murder iu liis heart, and carried out a preconceived plan to kill. The defense, in support of their po sition, declare that the first act oi hostility came from the opposite side; that the call ing a man aside was not illegal; that the deceased prepared for a fuss by laying' aside his" umbrella, and that not until he had advanced and the defendant re treated several steps, was the shot filed or defendant’s pistol drawn. The prosecution argued, however, that deceased drew no pistol, that he only ad vanced wit^b- outstretched arm, to prevent defendant’s firing, the .word “don’t! don’ll!’ spoken at the moment supporting that position. No threats have been proved ou either side. Tlie words spoken by defendant on Baer’s comer are very naturally explained by himself and brother. What tlie verdict will be, it is hard to guess. The case has been argued closely by both sides, some ofthe speeches being eloquent. jt • ai! The prisoner liad with nini yesterday his wile .and child, the inpocent prattle of the latter blending strangely with the stem words around it. There were about twelve members of the Roberts family present, tho majority of whom seem to side with the prisoner. THIRD DAY. Yesterday morning the Roberts case was resumed in the Superior Court Captain N*E. Harris finished his argu ment, and Solicitor Charles E. Bart lett, made a most powerful showing for the State. He reviewed the case thor oughly and applied the law, after which the court charged tho jury. They retired at about one o'clock, and the court tock a recess until three. Upon court convening again, the jury appeared and returned a verdict of voluntary manslaughter. The jury reached a verdict upon the second ballot, the first being eleven to oue in fa vor of voluntary manslaughter. The ver dict was a matter of surprise to many. It was apprehended that if an " acquittal was nothad) that the jury would hang, The prisoner appeared very much af fected by the verdict, and turned quite red in the face when it w*s announced. His counsel immediately notified Judge Sim mons that they would move for a new trial, and would ask bond for the defen dant until the motion was argued and de cided. Before sentence was passed, de fendant’s counsel pathetically appealed Wilson intended serious injury to defen dant. The solicitor general, without ar guing the issue, gave the case to the jury as one worthy of acquittal. Judge Lyon then made a few remarks for the defen dant, styling the killing a “misadventure,” in which characterization he was sus tained by Jndge Simmons. The jury, consisting of Messrs. H. E. Rees, W. A. Pigman, John S: Hogc, R. S. Wynn, E. H. Steele, S. A. C. Everett, W. P. Baldwin, John Marks, C. F.,Collier,J. E. Russell, R. C. Wyche and E. S. Kim- brew, without leaving their seats, wrote a verdict of “not guilty.” The acquittal of Aleck stands as living evidence in refutation of the slander em anating from Northern sources, that the colored man is denied justice at the South. His rights are protected with as much sa credness as the wealthiest white man in the land. Around him the law throws the mantle of justice, .and intervenes its majesty in his behalf. Stone’s acquittal, coming right on the heel of a three day’s trial, in which a verdict of voluntary man slaughter is rendered against : s white man, testifies as to whethel 0 not. the people ofthe South'deal unjustly with the colored man. Nor is this the only case— for at this very term of the Superior Court a verdict was given in a civil case in favor of a negro woman suing a white man, where these two parties were the only witnesses. Away then with the slander that the negro receives no justice at the South, Tho charge is as false as-the dark hearts that malign us 1 Grand (Domnnmdery.

W. and James Rob erts, were standing at Baer’s corner, and tlieir.two cousins, Sol and W. J. Roberts, were standing in front of Cannon’s store, diagonally across the street. At this point it Is, the testimony begins. Lieut. Hurley overheard a conversation between the first two named,, the words, “Let’s go over aud see wbout it-,” however, being all ha could distinguish. The two then crossed the street and advaned towards Cannon’ stem. Reaching % point just in front of the door, Jas.Roberts stepped up to Sol and said, “I want to speak to you a minute, drawing bis right hand from his pants' pocket, and - touching Sol’s arm as he spoke. He then turned and- led tho way to the mouth of the alley, a few yarda off. Sol Roberts handed Ids brother his umbrella, ran both hands into his talma pockets (the negro and defendant say he drew his pistol but kept it covered) and followed. The two men faced each other and began a conversation, In which the words “run me out of town,” and “I’ll do to Judge Simmon* to deal with the pris- CtrrecM Dally by Lockett A Bond.
