meet last night, Capt l. J. A. Reed, better known
amongst US" as Ike Reed, who has just arrived
from Galveston, where, as we are right glad to
learn, he is dourishing like green bay tree. He
deserves all success, because he belonged to one
Of the most glorious Of oar Louisiana regiments,
:" the Gth,H and won upon the battle field of |
Sharpsburg a laurel that will never fade. We
wish our former comrade a prosperous career.
HAYS BRIGADE RELIEF AssocIATIoN.--A nu-
merously attended meeting was held Saturday
night at Lyceum Hall, of the officers and men of
the 5th, 6th 7th, 8th and 9th Louisiana regiments
and Wheats battalion-known in the Army of
Northern Virginia, at different times in the great
struggle, as the " Louisiana Brigade" under Gen.
Ewell; known as the Eighth Brigade" com
manded by Gen. W. II. Walker and Gen. Dick
Taylor; known as g Hayss Brigade when com
manded by Gen. Harry I, Hays in some Of the
most desperate and bloodiest battles Of the war;
known as YorE's Command (when combined
with the renowned Second Louisiana Brigade,")
and known all the time as brigade that had won
undying fame, until it was surrendered by Col. Z.
Waggaman, then commanding, when Gen. Lee and
Gen. Grant I" made peace ? between the Southern
and Northern States Of the Union.
We doubt if any other organization in any of the
| Confederate armies had so many distinguished
| and gallant commanders as this brigade. Death,
and wounds, and promotion, and other causes,
! led to a frequent succession of chiefs, and
nobly did they Lead, and with Spartan courage and
endurance were they followed. The roll Of the
brigade commanders of these regiments is, what
we may well designate constellation of SOL
| ders " without fear" To have commanded such
a body of men was high distinction, and to win
its applause, as many officers did, was compli-
ment of which the bravest soldier might well feel
proud. Besides the generals who led this distin-
guished brigade it was, in different battles, com
manded by Col. Seymour, Col. Strong, Col. Forno,
Col. Monaghan, Sol. Penn and Col Waggaman.
Genl. Hays being absent on account Of indisposi-
ton, Major ]. Moore Wilson was called to tie
chair, Adjt. John Tobin acting as secretary.
The Constitution and bylaws were read by the
Chairman of the committee, Maj. John Il. New.
They made provision for the aid of INDECENT mem
bers Of the brigade, for the relief of the families
of those who had fallen in battle or died of dis.
ease engendered in the discharge of duty, to bring
home the remains of deceased comrades, to erect
a monument to the memory of the glorious dead
and to collect and preserve all records bearing
upon the history of the brigade during the war.
A Committee on Credentials to determine who
were entitled to be members of the association
