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 Appearances iudi- ato that the offer of the so-called ompromise is to be withdrawn and subtle pchenie substituted.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.

Information received by tlie Associated Press from the Lava Beds has been com municated the <j-ii‘-ral of the Army and other officials here, that they have noad- Crimo* ! vices. The graphic details received, how ever, preclude a hope that the story is nntrue. of For several months past trie position of Captain Jack, the (Indian Chief has been exercising the attention of the Uui'eu ti.aiee, and has been variously commented npon. The Military Service werei n favor of grape and back shot, •liile the tender hearted began whining “ lo 1 jhe poor Indian.” In obedience to orders from the Presi dent, General Canby ceased operations against Captain Jack’s band of murder ers in order that the ri d-tape Peace Com missioners might be allowed to manage the matter. The Peace Commissioners ve managed it, and the result is, as will be seeu by reference to the telegrams following, tnat Major-General Canby and his siafl have been cruelly murdered, end that “war to the knife” is all that re mains: 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 ure Geu. Canby, Dr. Thomas, Mr. A. B. the Baptismal Font will be handsomely festooned. Upon the altar will be placed a cross ard another cross rising from the Font, both wredhed in the early flowers ot spring. The usual Morning Service will begin at 11 o’clock, including the Eister Ser vice, Rev. Mr. Ediott, Rector, and Rev. Mr. Estell, assistant minister, officiating. The choir will render the nsnal music for Easter Service: Chn-t our Passover Dr. Boyce's Te Deum \ Jackson’s Jubilate Well’s EJHTMiu UXY. l’Hr Annivrrury nt the Resurrection of the Sa, lor. gnetn ot tlie Festival*. “ 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.

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.

He hasawayol putting thugs ofl cu Hammock, which has got to be com mon, and the latter gentleman, in the goodness of bis soul, lias acted in his stead tong enough. But even in his case “ lor* •< arance ceases to be a virtue. ” The Mayor can stand us much as any other one man, w'ien it courts to the pinch, but it haB been striking him very forcibly lately that old ‘ T. & C.” is inclined to “give Jim the goose.” So, on yester day morning he quit coming, and Jonsen was left without a head center. Alder men Young aud McLendon wore, as usual, on hand. The couit must be held, and the only chaoce was, to get one more Alderman aud proceed. Jonsen sent an officer after McDuffie, who arrived about 11 o’clock, und the three mounted tne rostrum. McLendon and Young put McDuffie lorward—that is, tht?v made him take the middle ctiuir, and prevailed upon htm to put the question aud pass sentence. Afier all had got seated 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 offense is one not Known to the Code, and perhaps not known to the common —lusus naturae; but, sir, you should remember that * ubi jus ibi remediem.' In plain English, there is no wrong with out a r medy. In other words * lex tem per dabit remed ene.' What hive you to say ?’' “ Your Honor, I was uuder a pressure, md you know, please your Houor, * lex non coy it ad impossibUia' or, iu other words ‘Nemo teulur ad k impossible)' hence the lusus naturae." “ But you’ll have to pay for it, wheth er ienetum or not.

You bad no right to inun date it, as you ire charged with doing. It is a case ol trespass.clausam figit, and we will have to fine you ten dollars and •;o8t8.” 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. This was No. 87. It turned out to be a negro, who plead guilty to the charge of disorderly and quarrelling. McLen don wanted to let him off with five and cos s, but MoDuifie c nldu’t see it, aud Young held his month.
