Fate of the Modoes. The fate of the Alod',es his been decided. Telegrams from Waisiag ton state tat Captain Jack, Schon.. chin, Black lim, Boston Charley, One E3ed Jim antd 8loluck, have b!:en senteticed to itceivo t'ho -penalt? of hanging on the 3d of Octiber. They were found guilty of murder in vio lation of the laws of war, and of as ault with intent to kill in violation of the laws of war. The tragic /inale is in keeping with all the events of the Modoc war. Our sympathy can not but be raided i behalf of these wr.ra iors. A!though destitute of all the principles i.c-ileated by civiliza tion and humanity, they were true 'o their own a-ivage creed, and excelled in all that Indians esteemn. They had their creed, a bloody and venge. -ful one it is true, but still a creed, and they liVel'up to'it, and will probably die in accordanco with its require nents. These poor savages were n worse than nien living in a prinioval state always n're. The history of the greatest nations of antiquity teoms with instances Iof barbarity more atrocious 'that t-11t displayed by Captain Jack and his braves, and they are not blamed. It is .preposterous to judge by the laws of the nineteet'h century individuals who have been trained to customs of pa imeval ages. These savages were as much sinned against as s4aning. Are there to be no other executions on the 3d of Oeto. ber ? Aro the Indian agents, those sleek puritanical villains of the Ea.-t, and those hardened unprincipled ruf finno of t'he West, W-6 swindled and maltreated and goaded the savages to despcration-are they to escape scot free while their victims are im to death for turning npon then T[heir carcasses should adorn the same gallows on which hang the bodies of the Moddes. We have hear'd of no pt'oseections against the agents who were instru meuntal in bringing on this conflict. They still enjoy the contfidence of the adutinistrationa. None of the despe radocs who mur'durod Mod-oo prison ers which traveling under protection of tihe United States fb~g have been arrested. They will also escape the consequionees of their crime. Tfhe lives of the Modoos should Le spared until an equal number of white v'illains have he'en fou~d to bear them company to tiho land of spirits.

A meeting of this Christi an Couna cil will be hie'd ini New York during lhe nmnth of October and will bc at tended lby deh1gate.s fr.'ma all parts of the wo01 d. las oh jact in to foster a mrero chain ibl e feelinog between the various Protestanat dea'oruinatioua; and to unite P'rotestantism nga insat the attacks of the church of lRome. The idea of the alliance originated in 1844, and the first convention was hold ina laumdon in 18416 whaich was attended by 92 delegates fi omi fifty deolnina. tions. The mere fact that fifty differ. ont sects were represented, proves the necessity of some sort of unaion. Since the tiast meeting, conventions have been h~eld in Pais; Berlina, Genueva .andl Amsterdam. On the 2d of October the sixth Convention will assemble in New York and con tintue in session until the 12to. 'I'he Protestant world will anxiously await the result. There is dorlainly uneed of some improvement in the va rions churches, especially in the mat ter of charity and harmony. Whecth. thor this convention can ekecet the desired end remains to beseen. The importance of the movement, and its general purpose may be gathered from the following programme taken from the New York Iherald. It will be scon that all the questions of vital interest in religion would be blium se ot te ablest thoologious and solenx tists df both humispheres : The Ilerald'siys.
