of the dead were yet unburied, and some not

with Il vast amount Of property. TO be
sure Hardee with his army has escaped.

complain, for the skedad'lling of Iardee

The value of the property taken with
Savannah Is immense, but the fact that
Gen. Sherman has marched triumphantly
through the ':empire state of the South, y
taken its largest city, and can now make
that his base Of operations, is still moro
important.

L. VI. g and Newspapers.

In THE CALEDONIAN of Dec Q we in
serted paragraph relative poStmaSters'
duties which, from letters received. we
think may need a little explanation. In
that paragraph we did not mean to imply
that postma>ters were obliged to distribute
papers printed in their own village. for
we learned several years ago that they
were not but the article had particular
reference 10 post offices in country stores
where the officials throw the bundle of pa
pers on the counter and let each one help
himself
Nor have we individually much to COM
plain Of we gladly testify that postmas-
tiers generally have done all for our paper
that we could expect, the exceptions TO
this rule being rare; but it was for these
few exceptions that the paragraph alluded
to was inserted
While our attention has been called to
this subject we will here say. that the JUS
tice of delivering newspapers free in the
county crcept in the village where printed
is not apparent. Take St. Johnsbuly for
instance: There are three post offices in
town at two of these the postmasters
are obliged to receive THE C>LEDoNIAN
and deliver it to subscribers free AT the
other one, where the proceeds are much
the largest. and where the accommodation
is the greatest. the postmaster is not obHq-
ed TO receive the paper at all. and it is on
ly through sutferance that he does receive
it. This is law but not justice. We dc
not speak of this because the postmaster
is to blame, for he is not. but because oul
information has been called in question by
different persons.

Bounty for Murder.

The Andersonvlle prison was a piece of
land containing % or so acres, surrounded
by a stockade twenty or thirty feet high.
On this stockadc the rebel guard was sta
toned. About two rods within the stock
AIDE posts were set in the ground and a
narrow board nailed on them like guard
rail. This was called the dead line. ~
and any one passing this was shot by the
guard, Thirty days Through was the
bounty paid the guard for killing a
Z" Iank," and this undoubtedly accounts
for their atrocity in many cases. as some
of our prisoners were shot while at least
two feet within the dead line and one
was shot while reaching under the rail to
dip up a cap Of water out of the brook
where there was less filth than within the
line. 1t. Richards from West Concord

For the Caledonian
General Butler.

This family name originated in Nor
mandy, or rather the family which was
called Butler, belonged to Bri
ong in Normandy. The name was chang
ed in this wise: one of the family called
HarvciuS Fitz Walter, brave and gallant
soldier accompanied the Norman conquer
orsinto England, who, by his daring deeds
became great tavorite at Court. When
Henry ii. of En- gland determined to in
wade Ireland. he took with him Fitz Wal
ter's son, (TheoboId), who had distinguish
ed himself in military tactics, becoming
one of the leading officers in the Kings
army. For his valuable services to the
King in conquering that kingdom he was
rewarded with large possessions there and
afterwards made that his place of resi-
dence The King conferred on him the
Office of Chief Butler of Ireland. The
name of the office becoming the name OF
the family. His descendants by way Of
Earle of Ormand attached De to the sur.
name, and are now known as De Botelel
or Butler. The name originated as a re.
ward Of merit. 1t might be interesting
to know what badge of honor the Ameri
can king the people, will confer on B. F.
Butler for his valuable services in subdu
