The Sixth New York Artillery.

We copy the following interesting account of the Sixth New York Artillery from the Highland Democrat of Peekskill:

The Sixth New York Artillery were recruited mostly from Westchester, Rockland and Putnam Counties. It is made up of young men full of energy and fiery zeal, robust and vigorous—just the material for a successful regiment.

In the ranks are the sons of our hardy yeomanry, the farmers, mechanics and the more respectable laborers — those who fear no dangers where duty call, and who stop at no impediments that may be surmounted by patient labor and toilsome efforts.

No regiment has gone to the war with better qualities than the Sixth New-York Artillery, and whose officers and men, under the circumstances, have acquitted themselves with higher honors and more determined bravery.

Most of the men were recruited in the Summer and Fall of 1863.
