COMPLIMENTS TO COL. E. M. GREGORY.-- The friends and admirers of Col. E. M. Gregory, of this city, have, in marked good taste, expressed their appreciation of his distinguished bravery, by ordering for him a very beautiful and richly-mounted sword. Col. G., it will be remembered, was wounded in the battle of Fredericksburg, and his horse was shot under him, though he still lives with seven bullets in his body. The superb weapon which is to be presented to him was manufactured by Messrs George W. Simon & Brother, of this city, and was on exhibition to the public, in the window of Grover & Baker, Chestnut street, below Seventh, during all of yesterday.
