enemy's confident advance on Little Round Top was administered by Vincent's brigade, of the Fifth Corps, which had most opportunely taken p Barnes's division of the corps soon appearing, Sykes had detached Vincent's brigade from that division, to march at once for. the point. ViVincent, leaving the column, and passing around the eastern foot of Little Round Top, and then into the gorge between the Round Tops, suddenly rke and many officers and men of his regiment have been killed. Vincent also, on the left of O'Rorke, had been engaged in a deadly strugglt driven back, until the arrival of O'Rorke checked the enemy. On Vincent's left the fighting had been at close quarters.

The Second brigade arrived next under the command of Colonel Sweitzer, who immediately placed his brigade in position. The 1st brigade, under the command of Colonel Tilton, was posted on the right of Colonel Sweitzer, being the right of the division and on the right of the position of the Fifth corps, the other two divisions of the corps extending to and embracing the celebrated Round To
