COMPLIMENT TO THE SIxTH.-A letter to the
Sentinel contains an extract from a speech of
Capt. GARY, l47th \. 7. Volunteers, on the
occasion Of the presentation of the flag of
the l47th regiment to the common council of
the city of Oswego, which highly praises the
conduct Of the veterans of the 9th Wiscon-
sin at the battle of Gettysburg, when the re-
treat of the 147th was nearly cut off and its
annihilation seemed certain, in the following
terms: "
Z" At this critical moment, when the saliva
ton of the regiment depended upon immedi-
ate action, little band of men was seen
emerging from the woods GU the left. They
were what remained of the 9th Wisconsin
Volunteers-a regiment which had been two
years in the service, and to whom the leaden
rain and iron hail Of battle had become as
familiar as the showers Of heaven. Every
man of that band was host in himself
Steadily, swiftly and furiously they charged
upon the enemy's flank, while the 95th Ny.
and 18th Brooklyn regiments charged the en-
envy upon the right and left of the l47th.
Northern courage was too much for southern
chivalry. The rebel columns recoiled, wa
vered, broke and fed. Two entire rebel reg
iments were taken prisoners. The l47th resi-
1nent was relieved. All honor to the gallant
9th Wisconsin Volunteers They saved what
remained OF the l47th on that day."
