Bge The Clarke Courier contains tho
following article in reference 10 forming
a "Sionewsll Brigade Association We
think il commendabe suggestion and
would be glad 10 see an Association of
the kind formed. Regimenlsl Associa-
lions, as suggested, might be formed and
let these send delegates 10 represent them
in Brigade Association. All the regi-
menls were from The Valley, excep, The
Alb, and i. has representatives in this vi
cinily -
BRIGADE AssoclATIoN.-We have
heard mentioned by number Of the old
members OF the Slonewsl Brigade HE
propriety OF forming society for the
purpose OF keeping alive the memories Of
the deeds OF valor, and The cultivation Of
kindly feelings among the survivors OF
that celebrated corps, and hope that the
suggestion may be carried INTO execution.
1t would be great satisfaction to meet
once year our old comrades, and revive
in social intercourse lbe memories Of the
times when we marched and fought with
Jackson, Eweli and EARLY. Let some
one call meeting of the survivors, and
let all attend who possibly can.
We have cpnversed with several mem
bers of tie ID Regiment, Ssonewsll Br-
gade. on the subject Of an association such
as is referred 10 above. This renowned
Brigade is too scattered to expect meet
ing Of lis surviving members except by
delegation. The only way such an assoc
citation can lie formed is 10 form regimen
lal ASSOCIATIONS first. As FIVE companies
Of the ID were from Jefferson, two from
Berkeley, one from Winchester, and two
from Clarke, CharIes.own would probs-
bly, be the mos. appropriate and central
poin, for The meeting Of such an associs-
lion. Ii is due 10 the history of our
Coniederacy, our dead, and ourselves, that
something should be done 10 rescue the
records Of our Regimen. and Brigade
from oblivion. We hope the pililul cry
of inexpediency will not be raised against
this suggestion, What ough, TO be done
is always expedient.

Ec"mcnicai nnd Evangelical Conferences.
We publish letter to-day in our religious
columns from the venerable Bishop Mclvaine,
who is now in Europe, giving his reasons why
the Worlds Evangelical Council proposed to
be held in this city in September should be
postponed. These reasons are principally
based upon the fact that the existing war on
the Continent of Europe would prevent so
large representation from Protestant Europe
to be present as might have been desired
The Bishop and the Evangelical Committee are
undoubtedly correct in their Judgment But
what sad commentary upon the powers Of
the Catholic and Protestant Churches does
this decision suggest! While the Roman
Pontilf in ecumenical council has passed
upon the most important ecclesiastical matters
that have occurred in our age, the Protestant
Church is necessitated 10 postpone its uni
versal council on account of war. How is
this? Catholic and Protestant churches pro-
fess to be the churches of Christ, whose mis-
sion was ''Peace on earth and good will to all
men," Have these churches no Influence, no
power, no panacea wherewith to stop the
bleeding wounds OF Continental Europc2 The
Church of Christ, represented in both the
Catholic aud Protestant tabernaccs, must
have lost favor with the Most Exalted if it
does not come in at this crisis, and by appeals
to the passions of monarchs and the fury Of
subjects stop the current of blood that now
flows across the water.

THE RED RIVER REBELLION has come to an
ingiorious end, in spite of all the vauntng
predictions that announced it at the outset
Intelligence from that region, dated only ten
days ago, is to the effect that the insurgent
leaders had held council of war at Fort
Garry and decided to make no further resist
auce to the approaching Canadian expedition,
which was to arrive about the Goth inst. Riel's 5
men, after the good old-iashoned pattern of
the crews that break into the store-room of
their sinking ship and have grand final
blow out to wind up with, Immediately fell
to and plaged the fort By this time, prob
ably, not an insurgent of mark remains in the
settlement. THUS inglor.ously terminates a
movement that was to have sounded the
knell of British rule on this Continent. The
'.patriots' Of our immediate day talk too much
and too loudly to rival the men of the elder
generation. The Red River movement ex-
hausted itself in noise, and 10! what ''a lam G

THE herald CORPS OF EUROPEAN WAR
CORRESPONDENTS.

We have special correspondents moving
with each division of the opposing forces Of
France and Prussia, and news agencies in the
principal apitals-London, Paris, Berlin. Ma
drid, Vienna and Florcnce--so that nothing
of an important news character escapes our
visian representatives.
Our news agencies in the principal cities Of
Europe, and our system Of travelling corre-
spondents, have been long established, fact
the readers of the HERALD have no doubt long
since become familiar with, and as our letters
from all parts of the Eastern Hemisphere for
years past have fully proven.
We do not pretend that our commeuts upon
the war, or that our opinions upon the proba-
bic success Of either belligerent in contem-
plated movements come by the cable. Our
only aim is TO give to the public the fullest,
the most reliable, and the most authentic
record Of facts as they occur in the grand
operations Of the contending armies

THE TICKET SPECULATOIs. Nothing definite
has been resolved upon as yet in the war at pre-
sent being waged between the theatre mana
gers and the ticket spectators The late trial
has decided nothing directly or indirectly
bearing on the sale Of tickets by outside par
ties. 1t appears plain enough that If tickets
are sold from the box Office Of theatre the
holders of those tickets have perfect right to
dispose Of them at premium to third parties,
if they so desire. If, however, the managers
desire they can put stop to the nuisance in
front of their DOORS These ticket vendors
have no right to ply their trade on the side
walks in front of the theatres if the managers
resolve not to permit it aud the police do their
duty. Let the police who are on duty at the
theatres at night drive these fellows away,
and the public will hear less of ticket specula-
tors aud the nuisance they occasion.
