Outrages in Moore County.

We published on tuesday morning no
tice from the Fayetteville Eagle OF most
horrible outrage in Moore county. We
have since learned the following particulars
of the crime: Late at night of the 10Th ult.,
q number of disguised persons went to the
house of colored man named Edward
Blue, forced an entrance and commenced
firing with guns and pistols into the bed
where Blue and his wife and child were
sleeping. In order to save his life Blue took
shelter under the bed and finally, in the con-
fusion. made his escape from the house,
though he had been severely wounded in
the side. The attacking party supposing
that their intended victim was still in the
house, barred the doors and set fire to the
building. A colored girl who had also con-
ccaled herself under the bed, finding the
building on fire took up plank in the
floor and made her escape, but the wife of
Blue and five children perished in the flames.
A man named Graham, (who owned the
land on which Blue liveD and another
named Riddle have been arrested and con-
fined in Moore county Jail, on charge of
being implicated in this murder.
In noticing this damnable crime against
humanity and civilization, the editor of the
Weakly Spread Eagle, after stating that the
man Blue was said to have a bad character,
&C., says: "There are times when Lynch
law ought to be adopted. Very often in the
present condition of Southern society moth
ing but Lynch law will do. But let Lynch
be used only to re6uke violence and not it
self assume violence, or abuse or take adj
vantage of hasty, reckless passion"
We deny that there are times when
Lynch law ought to be adopted" and under
he administration of Grant and Holden the
Republican party intend to teach such Ku-
Klux editors as McSween that they shall
bow to the law as enacted by the National
and State Legislatures and that he who COM
mIts murder under the name of Lynch law
shall suffer the penalties under the real law.
The Weakly Spread Eagle also records the
fact that drunken Ku Klux named Nc
Donald. was riding home from Carthage who
overlook negro and the two engaged in a
quarrel. The Spread Eagle says: 1.-THE ne
gro then exercised the rights guaranteed
in the Civil Rights Bill and 'cusscd Nc
Donald, whcreupon Mcdonald exercised tile
Ku KlAr right Of shooting the negro in the
mouth and galloped on.n AS the editor of
the Eagle seems to lie posted on Ku Klux
rights" he will probably tell US under
what clause of the oath of this traitorous
conclaye they are authorized to "shoot ne
groes." a=a. -l
Because Col. W. B. Richardson, Senator
from Moore denounced this diabolical muir
der and characterized the murderers as infa-
nous Ku Kluxes, this fellow McSween opens
his batteries of slime and filth at him.
Nothing he can say can injure Col. Richard
son. McSween is very sore headed because
the loyal men of Moore and Richmond pre-
ferred Col. Richardson to him and elected
him the aforesaid Mes. to stay at home, and
in his narrow, rebellious soul he hates
the man preferred over him. Let him fume

This mint commenced coming gold in 1888,
and continued until the 31st of March, 1851,
when, by vicissitudcs OF war, its operations were
closed. During this period this mint coined aud
issued the products of this region only in geld
coin to the amount OF s5O4S ,64l, according to
the report of the director of the mint. (See FL

CITY AND STATE.

THE GOLD FIELDS OF NORTH CARoLINA.-It
is not generally known, says the Washington
Chronicle, that the gold fields of North Carolina
were the first discovered and availed of for COIN
ing purposes in the United States. The more
receEt and comparatively more productive mines
of California and Australia have served to draw
attention away from these. which were once the
only source of national gold currency; and when
we reflect how completely the South was closed
by slavery, not only to industrious emigration,
but to knowledge of its resources, it may be
questioned whether the productiveness of North
Carolina gold mines was not seriously impeded
BY the same cause. Perhaps under system OF
free labor, and with the renewed energy promis-
ed by reconstruction through the influx of
Northern men, we may speedily sec the mining
operations OF this noble old State revive, aud
find it rivalling its sister on the Pacific in the
quantity of precious metal. h ~ .f3f. ..t
Gold was known to exist in North Carolina
long before the present century, and up to the
year 1927 all the native gold furnished to the
United States mint came from that State. The
largest nugget ever found in the world was found
in Cabaras county, N. c., in the year 1903
weighing twenty eight pounds of pure gold.
North Carolina gold is very fine, and especially,
affected by jewellers, dentists, and other artif-
GERS, for its superiority in working. -s,g

lance from the well to keep back the ca
ger crowd, whose pressure upon the earth
was likely to induce another caving.
Just outside of the rope stood relieis OF
strong men--ten times as many as could
possibly be wanted, under any circum-
stances-all anxious to join in the work.
The vicinity of the well was brilliantly
lighted up with lamps, while lanterns
were thickly hung in the trees near by.
In all directions the houses were light
ed, showing that the people could not
sleep under the excitement of the occa-
sion. All night long heavy teams were
rafting to and from the spot, carrying
away gravel and bringing back lumber
and tools. The scene was sad and pain
full one, whose impression will not soon
be forgotten.
The next step towards recovering the
body was to construct another section Of
curbing, which could be only two feet
square. This was let to the bottom, di
rectly over the remains, so as to inclos,
them as it settled. Then commenced tn,
toilsome and difficult labor of removing
the earth from the body. Only one mar
at time could work inside of the curb
fng, and the dirt had to be removed will
a trowel. 1t was six o'clock this morn
ing before the body could be drawn up
The head was pressed against one side o
the well, and death by sufocation ant
compression must have been sudden
One hand was placed on the top of tn
head, and hammar was firmly graspe'
in the other, Physicians were on tn
spot, who were unanimous in pronoucinl
life to be extinct. 1t is hardly necessar,
to add that the sad affair has cast
gloom over the entire city.
