SPIRIT UP THE OEOROIA IRKSS.
In » 1m| editorial on the bond
uestion, the Chronicle and Sentinel
ijf the Iriends and advocates of the
»mj*rontise have determined to try
new line and a different plan of
perations. Foiled in their efforts
;t winter by the vigilance of the
os?, the courage of the Legislature,
nd the indignation of the people,
ley appear to have adopted another,
more insiduous but an equally dan-
erous scheme. Appearances iudi-
ato that the offer of the so-called
ompromise is to be withdrawn and
subtle pchenie substituted. Per-
iap' the Ping will magnanimously
ulniit that the compromise was
rrong—just as they admitted the
Kjnds il.egal—and declare that their
Teat regard for the State which they
ove so well prompts them to make a
l*ss objectionable offer, A can see
louiing but another attempt at spoi-
ation. and is confident that the jour-
ial which advocates it—honestly and
n good faith we admit—will, if such
in investigation shall be ordered—
itid Heaven grant it never may—see
the error of the policy which it is so
earnestly urging upon the people of
Georgia. Concludes the Chronicle
If it is proposed to allow Bullock
and Kimball to decide what is the
peat oonrae tor the State to pursue;
f the issue between h*r and the
bouilholders is to be left to tneir ar-
britrainent, why not call upon another
illufitrinus exile—Foster BLdgett—
make him President of the Board,
and entrust the honor of Georgia
and her interests to the hands of this
virtuous tribunal? We tell the
bondholders, now, that their new de
vice v/iil not win. The people will
not submit to another investigation
neither will they submit to an arbi
tration and an award by Bullock and
Kimball.
The Augusta Constitutionalist re
grets to learn that a party of lawless
Georgians, on AionJay night last, in
vaded the peaceful soil of Edgefield,
S. C., and committed a gtoss outrage
on a number of our colored citizens.
That paper truthfully says that the
Bympaihies of all good citizens should
be with tlie law, and against its vio
lators, and especially in cases of this
kind, and makes these deductions
therefrom:
It is this capricious exercise
usurped authority and the indulgence
of cruel vengeance by white uien upon
unprotected blacks, that has done an
immense amount of injury to the
best interests of Southern societv
It has stimulated antagonisms of
race among us, when we should have
cultivated the kiudest feelings, and it
has continued the prejudices
strangers and foreigners, who hav
been taught to believe the worst
stories ol southern barbarity, and
are thus repelled from settling among
us, or even judging us fairly.

In obedience to orders from the Presi

M OF GENERAL CANBY.
San Francisco, April 12. —A cornier
has arrived here from the lava beds and
reports that Major General Canby and
Dr. Thomas were murdered by the Mo-
docs ytsrerduy while holding a peace
conference.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Lava Beds Camp, April 11, via Yreka,
April 12.— festerday afternoon five Iu-
diuus and four squaws came into our
camp and were made presents of cloth-
ng and provisions by the Pta c Commie
sioners, ard s message was sept by the
Commissioners asking for a talk Bin
morning at a point abont a mile from
mr picket line. Later in the evening
“Bogus Charley” came in and told the
picket that he could take his gun, that
tie, Charley, did not intend to go back
,tuy more. Tue picket brought him in
aud took him to >he tent of General Gau-
t>y, where Charley left his guu, aud re
mained at the tent of Frank Riddle dur
ing the night This morning Boston
Charley came in and told the
Commissioner that Capt Jack and
five other Indians would meet
he Commission onbide of our lines.
Boston Charley and Bogus Charley then
mounted horses and started for the Lavu
Bed. About an hour after their depart

“ Christ is risen !” Such is the shout
which encircles the earth, as this morn
ing’s son wakes np the world ! To-day
ten thousand tempi’is are crowded; fc n
tnonsand altars spre*d; ten thousand
voioes sing, “ Christ our P -ssover is sac
rificed for us, then, let us keep the
feast 1” It i*. the anniversary of ou
Lord's resurrection from the dead, and
one of tue three great festivals of the
Christian year—the other two being
Christmas and WhitBon.ide. From the
earliest period of Christianity down to
the present duy, it has always been cwle
brated by believers wuh the greatest joy,
and accounted the Queen of Festivals.
In pmuiti'e times it was usual for Chris
liana to salute each other on the morn
ing of this day by exclaiming, “ Christ
1m risen;” to which the person salutec re
plied, “ ChriBt is riten indeed,” or else
“Aud hath appeared unto Simon;”—a
.-ustom still retained iu the Gre
Church.
The common name ot this festival
the East was the Paschal Feast, because
kept at the same time as the Pascha, or
Jewish passover, and iu some measure
succeeding to it. In the sixth of Anoy-
rau Canons it is called the Great Day
Our own name Eostsr is derived, as borne
suppose, from Eo-Jra, the name of a
Saxon deity, whose feast was celebrated
every year in the Spring, about tlie same
time as the Christian festival—the name
being retained when the character of
of the feast was changed; or, as other,
suppot-o, from Oster, wlncu signifies ris
ing, If the latter supposition be cor
rect, E rater is in name, as well as reality,
the feast of the resurrection.

occasions, with singing bv the children,
accouinanied by the organ.
CHURCH OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
In ttie Roman CathoLc Church it is
known that the seusou of Lout is ob
served with bcrc pulous rigor, as it is the
season in which preparation is made for
an auproach to tin E n haristic sucrament.
In the ritual, day alter day, the holy
mysteries of the Passion are unfolded
until on Maunday Thursday, the culmi
nation ol the divine tragedy draws near,
when the sacred vessels and ornaments
are laid aside; the lights extinguished,
and the wuole interior presents a funereal
appearance. On Good Friday, in places
where it is possible, the mystery of the
ctoss is tinly celebrated.
On Eaetor S unlay, hi wevtr.jtbe vessels
are brought out, the alter is wreateed
with flowers anu evergreens, the candbs
are lighted, the priest, lays aside iiU
sombre vt stinei is, aud priest and people
unite in liiauksgiuug 10 t ue ltviug bra,
whose glorious resurrection opens lo us
ihe portals of paradise.
At tne Church in tuis city the regular
services will be held; but no effort has
th en made at decoration. The present
chureU building is oi l, and d. t suscepti
ble of adornment; but w- hope at an
early ’lay to see the magnificent new
edifice completed, wnerc the festivals of
the church may ne celebrated with full
pomp and ceremony.

officer after McDuffie, who arrived about
11 o’clock, und the three mounted tne

McDuffie lorward—that is, tht?v made

autl the show l ad opened, Jonsen, who
was standing to the left of Young, com
induced reading au indictment against
Robert Jones. Jcues bad been doing
very bad, so the testimony said, and it
was evident that he was gone np. Mc
Duffie took him iu haud, “Jones, your

and perhaps not known to the common

remember that * ubi jus ibi remediem.'
In plain English, there is no wrong with

This startling announcement rather
took Jonsen by surprise, aud Jones was
mneh more taken.
McDuffie then wiped nis chops and
looked, first at Young aud then at Mc
Lendon and then at Jonsen, aud called
for the nt.xt case.
