Aside from the consideration that this fatal '
shootitu; a flair was a blunder, or a mistake, ;
and allowing that Sergeant T. was beyond i
clonl'i. i ringleader in the riotous demonstra- i
tion. and that he deserved

Men to tic shooting which he received,
u i He are led to inter from the general drift
and tenor of information from Camp H.ixter
ii a! affairs there have not, in every respect
and in every case, been conducted with a
view so'ieb 5o the greatest good of the great
est number ; and especially do we fear that
thi is true of the sutler's dt-partmciit.an 1 that
the in, inner of transacting business there has
been vvt il calculated t:- evasperate such a
body of men and lead them to riotous demon
strations. And we are glad to be able to ;
'gather from what we learn from this Extra !
sli. vt of the Caledonian that a further, and i
we trust a fair and lull investigation of this :
i
all'-iir. is to be had. !
We trust that we are not much given to j
,. .,-,., .w......m...),l.. fnub-findin.r an i I
far be it from us to blame unjustly, but we j
think it is due to the people of the State, as j
ueil as to the Governor and those connected j
with him, that atlairs in general at Camp
I5a.ter, and especially the "sutler's quarters" J
should be "looked into." j
Speaking of the row, or riot, which led to
the death of Sergeant I'errill. the Caledo-j
nian savs :
, - .,,.. ..,. , i ,
" I he riotous demonstration was made up-1
on the sutler'.-! quarters, kept by Mr. N. J. j
Pike, of St. Johnsburv being a room fitted :
up for the purpose in the north end of what
is known as the ampitheatre on the Fair
Grounds. Whether there was any provoca
tion for this riot, growing out of the eondti' t
of Mr. Pike towards the troops, we do not
now, with our present information, undertake
to decide, hut we are inclined to believe from
all we can learn, that the men in the camp I
had some reason to complain that he lias
been ? . customed to charge exhorbitantly for
various indespensable articles which the sol
diers could not obtain elsewhere without in
convenience." Again :
" Governor Fairbanks and (Jen. Dav is es
pecially feel pained that the matter was not
brought to their notice."
And again :
"And Lieutenant Col. Hyde assures us
that he had no knowledge at all reliable of
the existence of these complaints."
It seems hardly possible that such a dem
on! ration on the part of the volunteers should
be without provocation." And it seems
strange that when such dissatisfaction exist
ed in camp as to cause an outbreak of this
kind, that no seasonable complaint or reliable
intern ..ion of it should reach the ears of the
Govei nor. the (Quartermaster-General, or
of Lieut. Col. Hyde.
We hope therefore th:it the Caledonian
will pei. evele in us vet v laudable endeavor
10 gather .,.v. fa.-ts in th- matter for it is
certainly of suiheii-nt importance to warrant
further investigation and if Mr. Pike.' the
keeper of the "sutler's quarters," "is really
been charging the volunteers double price
tor i igar, postage stamps, exc, when they
were not allowed to go outside the camp to
obtain them why, let us know it, and let us
know, alto, who gets the profits of the busi
ness. JUL DISASTER AT MANASSAS.
Dar readers will remember that we an
nounced a tew (lays since that J. P. Page and
F. jL'halice, Esqrs., had left for Fortress M on
roc. These gentlemen returned last night,
and bring with them a full account of matters
in general, and also many particulars re
specting the late battle at Manassas. We have
not the space to give our reader. such an ar
ticle as we would like to. and trust they will
be satisfied tor the present with a lew biicf
items.

the meeting of the State Historical Society
at L'rattleboro, Wednesday and Thursday of
las! week, the attendance was very good, and
the exercises gewvrally interesting. Addresses
were delivered by Daniel Needham, Rev.
Mr. Newton, Rev. Mr. Urown and Henry
Clark. Among the most important proceed
ings, was the appointment of a historian, to
prepare lor publication, under the auspices
of the society, a history of the connection of
Vermont, by the acts of her volunteers, legis
lature and executive, with the eilort to sup
press the present rebellion, and Daniel
Needham of Hartford was appointed historian
for this purpose.
