The Biblical Recorder is the only paper so far that has condemned the recent lynching in Cabarrus county: The Recorder says: "The name of our State is again stained with outrageous shame. in Cabarrus county the nameless crime was committed and the victim mur aered. In a few hours a mob had lynched two negroes. The men who lynched them ought to be arrested, tried as speedily as possible, and being frund guilty, ought to be hanged until they are dead. The greatest shame of it is that the lynching occurred; but scarcely less tolerable is the fact that the whole State must suffer the dis grace of the crime of a hideous moo. Let it be said for North Carolina's .-ake, that her available militia was at the front, and, therefore, there was not sufficient power to maintain the hign functions God gave her as a State." The Recorder makes the above state ments with the knowledge that a Pres byterian. Baptist and a Methodist preacher nearby said the lynching was LIEUTENANT LATHAM TO BE.

FORGING TO THE FRONT. North Carolina, which furnished more soldiers than it had voters to the Confedei acy and distinguished itself by its military record generally, is forging to the front again.
