Yesterday, about 9 a. m., at Clayton, Johnston county, fire broke out iu a pile of cotton, con taining about 41 bt.les, belonging to A. Home. The fire raged for about 30 minutes when it was extinguished by the exertions of the citizens of the vil lage. About six hundred dollars worth ot 'cotton, at present prices, was des troyed. The fire is supposed to have originated either from sparks irom passing locomotives on the railroad, or the steam saw mill near by. Moseley's Retreat.

We stepped in yesterday to get an idea ot what they did not have, (as that is easier told) but so crowded were both counters with ladies, that nobody but the old '.Colonel (who by the way never lails to see a man, woman or child that comes sin the store, and if there is no one else to wait on them, does himself) paid us any attention. He showed us the ladies dagger 'anil club, the first a fan, nnd the second a porasol. The Colonel is a batchelor, and we be lieve enjoys the idea of introducing these telltale weapons in our midsr. We call them weapons, because we have been more ceriousiy injured from a lick from a fan than from a broom, but as we are a younji married man, it may perhaps be better lor us not to mention old matters, or we may yet get the worst of the broom stiek.

This is decidedly the best burnt cork enter tainment that has ever visited this sec tion, and we have no hesitation in re commending them to public patronage wherever they may go. The troupe possesses musical talent, both vocal and instrumental, of. no ordinary degree. Mr. Char'es Hey wood has one of the clearest and purest soprano voicesj we have ever heard in a man, and his per sonations of female character are most admirable. . . i.- Messrs. Canfield, Booker and Wagner are all that they should be in their res pective roles.' In fact, the whole troupe is composed of first class talent, and each member deserves special mention. In this notice we .exaggerate nothing, but only give"tlie troupe that meed of praise which their performance merits. Their songs, jests, &c, are all new, and contain nothing which can give offence to the most fastidious taste. Our. Churches To-Day.

The festival of Easter forms a strange connecting link between Christianity and paganism, and the usages of its celebration have their foundation in anti-Christian ceremonies. The wo:d itself is said to have derived its Teutonic origin from the festival of the goddess Ostara, which took place at the same season ot the year, and was in fact little more than a SDrlng-tjde jubilee, expressive of joy at the resur rection of the year and the revival of beauty on the :ace of the earth. The Christian festival of Easter was formerly called the "Sunday of Joy," and is even now often known as "Pasch Sunday, so called from the custom of eating and presenting on that day pasch-eggs, sup posed to be symbolical of the springing forth ot life. This idea is by no means nove"., nor is it confined to any particu lar nationality or religion, since the Jews u.-ed to eat eggs at Passover time, and the Persians presented each other with colored eggs in spring-time. 1 he Easter egg3 of a generation ago weie simple affairs, and if they failed to instal into the youthful mind any peculiarly useful lesson or inspire it with any very elevated thoughts, they at least iiad the merit of not depleting the parental pockets to any considera ble extent. Ihey were simply ordinary hen's eggs, around which bits of figured calico, "warranted fast colors," were closely sewed, and the thus attired eggs then hard boiled in the hottest of wa ter upon being taken out of which and divested of their garments they were found to have printed upon them in gaudy colors the various patterns of the calico bits. To tlie cultured child of to-day, however, these cheap emblems of the resurrection and tuture life would seem but tawdry toys. Rk-Sentenckd Yesterday. Judge Albertson re-sentenced Simpson Morde cai, coloied and Thomas Griffice, Jcolor ed, who were convicted at tne Superior Coui t of this county of burglary and sen tenced to be hanged, but who appealed to the Supreme Court for a new trial. The Supreme Court at its last session, refused the appeal and confirmed the decision of the Court below. On beinir asked by Judge Albertson if they (the prisoners) had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon them. Griffice made no resoonse. but Mordecai arose : and ad dressed the Court. He said that he had taken no active part in the affair. That he was was far less guilty than those in the crowd who had gone scot free. That he had known Mr. Hicks foralong time and had always liked him, &c. In passing sentence upon the prisoners, the Judge said :. , "At the last term ot this court you were convicted by a iury of the offence of burglary. Appealing Irom the iung- ment then pronounced, upon a suppos ed error of law, to the Supreme Court, that tribunal has said your conviction was proper. You are again, and final ly, arraigned at the bar ot judgment. The law -has imposed the penalty of death upon the crime ot which you stand convicted ; and I, as its minister, must now pronounce upon you its dread sentence. Human nature revolts at the contemplation of death; and in this hour of your extreme despair, no exhor tation of mine will lectncile you to your fate. I shall not, therefore, pro long vour suffering or , aggravate your misery by dwelling upon your offense or tendering any vain consolation. I only bid you to speak your last farewell to this world and 'all its concerns, and to make preparation . to meet in eternity the judgment of that Being in whose sentences there is no error. lTt-is the judgment of the law now pronounced by the Court, that on the 30th day of May next, you and each of you shall be hanged by the neck until you are dead.

Treachery ol the Modocs-SLnrtling ; News From the L.ava Beds, i : San Francisco, -April 12.- A cour ier has arrived here from the lava beds and reports that Major ! General Canby and Dr. Thomas were Murdered by the Modocs yesterday while holding a peace conference. '! ' ' v Lava o Bed.. Camp, April 11, tia Ureka, April 12. Yesterday afternoon five Indian and four squaws came into Ouf camp 1 and were made' presents of clothing and provisions by the Peace Commissioners, and a message was sent out ;by the Commissioners asking : for talk this A. M. at a point about a mile from our . picket line. Later in the evening "Bogus Charley" came in and told the picket that he could take his gun, that he, '('Charleyl"did not intend to go back any more. The picket brought him in and- took him to the tent of General Canby 4 where Charley left his gun and remained at the tent of Frank Riddle durjng the night. This a. in., "Boston Charley" came in and told the Commissions a : that Captain Jack and fiveother In dians would meet the Commissioners outside our lines. "Boston Charley" and Bogus Charley mounted their horses and started for the lava beds. About an hour after their departure, Gen. Canby, Dr. Thomas, Mr.: A. B. Meacham and Mr. Dyer, with Frank Riddle and his squaw for interpreters, started for the place appointed. The parties arrived at the appointed place and were closely watched by the signsi officer, Lt. Adams, from the . signal station on the hill overlooking our camp. About a half an hour after the party had arrived, a cry from the signal station was heard, saying that the In dians had attacked the Peace Commis sioners, and that an engagement had commenced between the Indian and Col. Mason. ' In a moment troops wcr under arms and deployed as skirmishers under the command of Colonel Green, nd orders were given to forward in double-quick. Then shortly after' Mr. Oyer returned and told that the, In dians had attacked them5, and that he was the only one who had escaped, but n a lew moments atter Riddle and his squaw were seen within the picket line. a rom him we gather the following ac count of how the massacre commenced: Mr. Meacham made a short SDeech to the Indians followed by General Canby, and then Dr. Thomas. Then Cantain ack made a speech asking for Hot Creek and Cottonwood, places now occupied by Fairchild and Dorris, tor reservations. Mr. Meacham told Capt. Jack that it was not possible" to give him what .he asked. Schonchin told Meacham to say no more, that he, Meacham, had said enough upon that suoieci, ana wuue . ncnoncnin was speaking, Capt. Jack got up and walked behind the others, turned back and ex claimed, " all ready." He then drew his pistol and snapped a cap at General Canby, He cocked his pistol again and fared. General Canby fell dead, shot u:.der the 'eye. Schonchin then shot Meacham in the shoulder and he-id. but ie is still alive. " Boston Charley" and another Indian shot and killed Doctor Thomas. "Ho ok eh" Jim1' chased Dyer tor some distance, but Dyer turned upon him with. a pistol in lia-nd and Jim ran The Indian knocked the squaw of Rid dle oh her horse and took it, but Capt. Jack made him return if then and there. The Indians cKased Riddle and Shot at him. - ' - '; -!- : - Some allowance may be made for the truth of this last statement.
