ENCOMIUM OF THE PRESS.
The following is from a letter published in The Rochester Union, June 28, 1865, addressed to the editor, G. G. Cooper, from a friend at the front :
"Few, if any, regiments have seen harder and more severe service than the lolst New York Volunteers. Composed almost wholly of young and gallant men who went forth when the storm was raging fercest, and the waves of rebellion and dismion roll- ed the highest, the regiment has been pressed to the front of the line and stationed in the thickest of the fight. It became a part of the Sixth Corps-'the gallant Sixth;' and its history stands forth in bright and dazzling letters upon the page that bears the record of the noble deeds of that inmortal organization.
"Following and sometimes leading the bloody trail of war through .The Wilderness' and, in rapid strokes for freedom, pressing 'on to Richmond;' first to mount the rebel strongholds at Cold Harbor, and first on many hard fought fields; battling with vastly superior numbers at Monocacy, and in hot pursuit of the retreating invaders through Maryland and up 'the valley;' storming the works at Petersburg, and, with Sheridan, scatter- ing to the four winds of heaven, the 'flower of southern chival- ry,' the 151st has valiantly sustained its reputation. In the highest niche of fame it has placed a glorious record, while above it, in letters of light and gold, shines the inscription-the sentiment of a grateful people: 'Well done noble 151st' ".
