THE STONEWALl BRIGADE.


According to notice in last week S
REGISTER, some of the actual surviv-
ors of this brigade met in Firemen's
Hall on Saturday afternoon last, and
the meeting was organized by elect
ing Captain Lee H. Moler Chairman
and Joseph McNurran Secretary. The
object of the meeting was stated TO be
the formation of an association to be
known as The Actual Survivors of
the Stonewall Brigade" and in &C
cordance with suggestions made by a
similar association formed at Winches-
ter, Virginia, some weeks ago, the fol-
lowing officers were chosen for the
Shepherdstown Association:
Captain-Lee II. Moler.
First Lieutenant-Joseph McMur-
ran.
Second Lieutenant. Will Taylor.
Orderly Sergeant-Charles Terrell.
Second Sergeant-John G. Unseld
First Corporal-Joseph Yontz.
Second Corporal-Wm L. Arthur.
Chief Musician-Geo. w. Hunrick-
house.
1t may be asked, What need is there
for such an association? There are
Confederate Veteran Camps and Ne
mortal Associations, whose special duty
il is to collect the names and historic
incidents of the individual soldiers
that came within their knowledge.
Then, why add another? \ brave sol
der is naturally jealous of his reputa-
ton and does not like To see honors
Won by great sacrifice and suffering
taken away from him or claimed by
another. 1t is notorious fact, that
nearly every soldier that belonged TO
Jackson's Corps, if asked, at this day,
TO what command he belonged, will
answer the Stonewall Brigade" So
that now more soldiers claim TO be
long TO this famous brigade than was
on its rolls al the beginning of the
war. There are but few of these old
soldiers left, and ii is well that the
survivors should specially have il in
charge to collect the names and gath
er up the history Of those who fought
so bravely as 10 deserve the special
commentator of their commander
and died so nobly in defence Of their
State, as to merit the love and honor
of those who survived. The brigade
was composed entirely of Virginians,
with the exception of the seven Mary
landers that enlisted in Co. + Of Win
chester. There were four regiments
in the brigade, the ID, 4th. 9Th, eth
and BIRD Virginia and two batteries of
four guns each. The Rockbridge Ar
tillery, originally commanded by Rev.
DIR. Pendleton, and composed of young
men from Washington College, and
Carpenters battery. The soldiers
composing these regiments were from
the counties of Berkeley, Jefferson,
Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah, Au-
gusta, Rockbridge, Montgomery,
Wythe, Grayson and Smythe. There
were five companies from this county
in the second regiment, Co. \ (Row-
ans, Co. b (Butler's), Co. q Bolts,
Co. H (Hunter's), Co. X Chambers,
and two from Berkeley, Co. ID (Na
denboushs) and Co. f (Colston's)
There were two from Clarke county,
Co. C (Bowen's) and Co. | (Moore's)'
and Co. f from Winchester, making
ten companies, which was the usual
number assigned to a regiment of in
fantry, each company having all av-
erage of eighty men rank and file.

The school is doing good work, but
of course there is room for improve
ment. The only way to secure this is
by the sincere cooperation of parent
and teacher. Parents, do not neglect
this all important duty. Remember
the future destiny of your child de-
ponds upon the training he receives
from you and his school. The fortune
you may leave him, in the form of
lands, &C., is nothing when compared
with an education. Therefore build
up your schools and make them what
they ought TO be. When you cry
them down, you are doing yourself
and your children an irretrievable
wrong. Give the teachers your earn
est, cordial support, and your chill
dren will be thereby benefited.

He viii Not Appear Against Whitney
Who is Left to Fight His Case
Alone.

BANGOR, Feb. %.
The excitement attending the trial of
Stain and Cromwell has given way for a time
TO surprise caused by an unexpected plea of
guilty of the Bennett burglary and assault
entered this afternoon by James A. Foster.
The announcement was complete surprise
to everyone excepting the prisoners attorney
and very few government officers. The
associated press reporter learns that Foster
says that his full name is James A. Foster
and belongs in Ottawa, Canada, where he
held position as clerk in store; he knew
nothing about coming TO Maine on this er-
rand till twenty-four hours before he
left. He didn't expect such a
job when he entered upon it, He
is we'll connected and wealthy His sister
has taken charge of the case, and has been
here in consultation with him and his coun-
sci. She has paid all expenses attending
the defense and advised him TO make clean
breast of the matter His plea of guilty is
made without conditions, and he will not be
a witness in case for or against Whitney.
His counsel also advised him to take this
course. They abandoned the case of Whit
ney week ago as they could do nothing with
him. They will attempt TO have Fosters
sentence made as lenient as possible. Whit
ney has no counsel, but has asked Mr.. Gillen
to appear for him, who will give his answer
tomorrow. Some think Whitney will also
plead guilty, hut the Jail officers do not be-
lieye it, He is very bitter toward his late
counsel and others, aud he evidently means
to fight as best he can.

devoted entirely TO business.
The annual election resulted in choice of

to make some change in the programme, an

Mr.. Atherton's subject was The on Relative

Each has its place, and each should he given
