The Iron Brigade" Letter from Gen
0ibbou.

The following letter from Gen. Gibbon,
who commanded the Iron Brigade
through the Pope and Maryland cam
paigns, when it fought some OF its hard
est battles, has not hitherto been pub
lished:
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 5th, 1863
DEAR SIR:-Your letter OF the 9Th Of
Sept, inviting me to be present on the
occasion Of presenting flag to my old
brigade, did not reach me until q few
days ago. Had circumstances permitted
I should have been most happy to have
availed myself of the invitation.
The title Of the "Iron Brigade" has
been we'll earned by that fine body Of
men, and 1 am pleased to know that its
services are appreciated by the citizens
OF the States from which the regiments
came.
It 60 happened that this brigade has
in several Of the battles in which it has
taken part occupied very conspicuous
positions, and has elected the praise OF
ill, and the highest commendation from
the commanding Generals. Its "baptism
Of fire" was on the 18th Of August, 1862,
during the Pope campaign, where, almost
alone, it successfully resisted the on
slaught OF Division Of the enemy under
''Stonewall" Jackson in person, losing
600 OF its men. It held prominent
position two days afterward in the battle
near Bull Run, and after that disastrous
day formed the rear guard during the
retreat on Centerville. At South Noun
tain it was assigned the duty Of attack
ing the enemys center. and held its
ground nobly long after dark against a
much superior force, and at Antietam it
led Of in the attack on our extreme right,
and gained new honos by its intrepidity
in attack and its firmness and discipline
when forced back by superior numbers.
These are some OF the actions in which
it has been engaged, and I am proud
though not surprised, to hear it maintain
ed its high reputation at Gettysburg.
It is an honor to tho service and q
command that any one may be proud Of,
and is living evidence OF what our VOL
unteers can be made by . proper system
Of promotion.-The world cannot pro-
duce . finer material for soldiers than
the rank and lile Of this Brigade, and
shall always feel . just pride in rejecting
upon my association with il.
am, Sir, very resp'ly yours,
JoHN GIBB0N, Brig. Gen. Vols.
