Fighting Devil's Den Sharpshooters.
The 91st left Hanover for Gettysburg at 8 o'clock in the evening, July 1, and arriving upon the ground was thrown into position on the right of the line of battle. The regiment, [a line drawing of the monument appears here] under Colonel Eli G. Sellers [see the correction published on the 17th], marched up one side of Little Round Top as the rebels charged up the other. In the line in front of Battery D it opened fire with the Devil's Den sharpshooters, who busily picked off the gunners, killing General Weed and Captain Haslet. During the night the men built stone walls for protection.

Who Commanded the 91st Pennsylvania.
To the Editor of the Inquirer:
In your issue of September 11 you do me the honor of saying that I commanded the Ninety-first Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, at the battle of Gettysburg. The fact is that Colonel Joseph H. Sinex was in command of the regiment at that time. Therefore I would respectfully ask that you correct the article mentioned above and thereby give honor to whom honor is due.
E. G. SELLERS,Lieutenant-Colonel Ninety-first P.V.V.
PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 14.
