burg road. Its bivouac for the night was in a swamp about seven miles beyond Yorktown. At two o'clock in the morning of the 5th it moved out from this bivouac, and struggled on through darkness and mud and pouring rain towards its first battle-field, -that of Williamsburg. At that place the Confederates lay in heavy force and very strongly posted, their main work, Fort Magruder, commanding the road and a broad " slashing" on either side of it, with a line of about twenty strong redoubts stretching away from the fort in both directions entirely across the Penin- sula from river to river. Arriving in front of this ap- parently impregnable position at about half-past seven o'clock in the morning, the undaunted Hooker at once moved to the attack. Two batteries, Bramhall's and Eakin's, were advanced on the right of the road, with the Fifth New Jersey Regiment to support them. The Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Regiments were formed in line on the left of the road and or- dered forward.

" Steadily advancing through the underbrush, the gallant regiments soon came upon the enemy's forces, and at once opened a vigorous fire. Here, for three hours, the conflict ruged with desperate fury. Command- Ing the ground nt every point, the fire of the enemy was pitilessly de- structive, and did not glucken for a moment. But the brave men Into whose faces it was poured stood Brinly and unflinchingly,-sometimes, Indeed, pushed back a little space, but as smely hurling the rebels, bleeding and shuttered, buck to their works. From the nature of the ground, there was no opportunity for the bayonet, but the rapid volleys of our heroic troops were scarcely less effective. Aud thus the battle raged, the enemy, reinforced again and again, directing against these three regiments all the fury of their attack, Imt still the little column stood Immovable. At last, however, the enemy, driven now to despera- tion, rushed forward in overwhelming numbers, pouring a terrific fire Into our whole line. Then, at last, that line wavered. Their ammuni- ton exhausted, their muskets rusted by the drenching rain, thelr ranks terribly thinned, exhausted by want of food and a difficult march, these herves of the day before this last overwhelming onset fell slowly back. But they were not defeated. They had held the enemy in check, hal frustrated every attempt to flank our position, and so had saved the di- vision, which but for this stubborn resistance would have been swept in disaster from the field.".

The Fifth, which had been sent in support of the batteries, maintained its position there under a tre- mendous fire of musketry and artillery for six long hours ; and at last, when the rebel infantry charged and captured some of the pieces, the regiment made a counter-charge, carried an advanced position, and held it through the remainder of the day, maintain- ing a continuous and most destructive fire on the enemy for fully four hours. Finally, the gallant Kearney threw his division into the fire, assaulting the Confederate line with the most desperate impetu- osity, and the battle became more furious than at any time during the day. An important part of the hos- tile works was carried, and when night closed the I'nion arms were victorious all along the line. The enemy retreated during the night, taking the road to Richmond and leaving his dead and wounded on the field. The losses of Hooker's division in this san- guinary conflict aggregated nearly sixteen hundred

men, of which the Jersey brigade sustained more than its proportionate share.

Three days after the battle the brigade moved with its division towards Richmond. Marching by way of Tunstall's Station and Bottom's Bridge, it crossed the Chickahominy at the latter point, and halted at Turner's Farm on the 26th. From this place it was advanced to a position in the rear of Casey's division, which occupied the front line, facing the enemy near Fair Oaks Station of the York River Railroad. At a little after noon on the 31st of May this division (Casey's) was suddenly attacked by an overwhelming force of Confederates, and was forced back in disor- der; but reinforcements came up, the battle became general, and raged with great fury through the after- noon. Late in the day the Third Corps was ordered to advance, and under this order the Fifth and Sixth* New Jersey Regiments moved forward with their di- vision and, reaching the front line at dark, went into position, and so remained during the night.

The battle was renewed on the following day (Sun- day, June 1st), and the Fifth and Sixth New Jersey went in, leading the advance, and with Gen. Hooker in person at their head. The enemy was soon found, and the battle raged furiously for nearly three hours, in which the Jersey regiments fully sustained the rep- utation they had gained at Williamsburg. Col. Starr, in his report of the battle, said, ---

" The road, and the fields on both sides of the road, were thronged with flying regiments from the battle-ground, two or three miles in front, through whose routed and disorderly masses I was compelled to force my way with bayonet and sabre. At 7 A.M. on the 1st instant the Fifth and Sixth New Jersey marched forward (Gen, Patterson still being very ill), and were actively engaged from about a quarter past seven A.M. until a quarter to ten A.M .- two and a half hours-with the enemy, the Fifth Regiment losing four privates killed, three officers and fifty- one men wonnded, and two privates missing; total, sixty. . . . The loss of the Sixth Regiment has not yet been reported to me, but is consider- able less. Gen. Hooker was himself witness, a part of the time, of the behavior of the two regiments under my command, and to him I leave the comments thereon .; Credit being hut reluctantly accorded to this brigade for their services, its members look inwards and upwards for their reward. The Fifth and Sixth Regiments have been for four days and nights under arms, iu battle, reconnoissance, and in holding the most advanced position on this flank of the army. They are still under arms, and see no prospect of an hour's rest for days to come. They have been exposed night and day to deluges of rain, and have suffered every species of privation incident to an army in an enemy's country."

The loss of the Sixth Regiment in the battle of Fair

* The Seventh and Eighth had previously been detailed for other duty. + The comments made by Gen. Hooker in his report of the battle were as follows : " It gives me great pleasure to bear testimony to the con- tinned good conduct of the Fifth and Sixth New Jersey Regiments. Their ranks have been greatly thinned by battle and sickness, and they had been encamped in the immediate neighborhood of troops partially demoralized from the events of the preceding day ; yet, on the first in- dication of a ronewal of the conflict, I found their lines formed, and they were ns ready to meet it as though our arms had been crowned with success. Brig .- Gen. F. E. Patterson was prevented from participating in these operations on Sunday by sickness, and bis command devolved on Col. S. H. Starr, of the Fifth New Jersey Regiment, whose energy and courage were conspicuous on every part of the field. Especial mention is also due to Col. G. Mott and Lient .- Col. George C. Burling, of the Nixth New Jersey Regiment, for their distinguished services on this field."

Oaks was twenty-one killed and wounded. The two regiments bivouacked in their position on the night of the 1st, and on the 2d of June advanced and occu- pied the ground recovered from the enemy. On the 25th of June they took part in a battle fought a short distance in front of the old battle-ground of Fair Oaks, and here again they fought most bravely.

In the retreat to the James River, which com- menced on the 28th of June, the brigade was ordered to the rear,-which is the post of honor and of danger in a retreat,-and was under heavy and long-continued fire, and sustained slight losses, both at Glendale (June 30th ) and Malvern Hill (July 1st), but was not otherwise engaged. It reached Harrison's Landing on the 3d, and there went into camp. A few weeks later it took part in the second battle of Malvern Hill, which, however, was but an inconsiderable affair. This was the last fighting done by this brigade on the Peninsula. Its losses in the Peninsula cam- paign were six hundred and thirty-four in killed and wounded alone.

On the 21st of July the brigade marched, with other commands of the army, from Harrison's Landing, moved down the Peninsula to Yorktown, was there embarked on transports, and proceeded to Alexan- dria, being destined to reinforce the overmatched army of Gen. Pope. From Alexandria it was moved out to Warrenton Junction on the 25th, and from there marched rapidly to the front. It found the enemy at Bristow Station, where a severe battle was fought on the 27th of August, the Jersey regiments charging and driving the Confederates in gallant style; again at Bull Run on the 29th, and still again at Chantilly on the 30th, keeping their bright record on both fields. The losses of the two regiments in this series of battles were: Fifth Regiment, killed, wounded, and missing, fifty-one; Sixth Regiment, one hundred and four.

From this campaign the brigade returned to Alex- andria, where it remained (taking no part in the An- tietam campaign) until the 1st of November. From that time until the 20th it was employed in a series of unimportant movements, but at the last-named date it moved down the Rappahannock River to Fal- mouth, where it arrived on the night of the 28th. The march to this place had been a most severe one on the men, as they were without rations and many of them nearly barefooted. During this march the brigade commander, Gen. Patterson, died very sud- denly in his tent, and the command then fell to Col. Joseph W. Revere, of the Seventh Regiment.

In the movement against the Confederate position at Fredericksburg on the 13th of December the Second New Jersey Brigade was not engaged in actual battle, though it moved across the river and remained in position during the conflict. It was for a time under a very heavy fire, but sustained no loss except that of one man killed in the Seventh Regiment. In the night following the battle it returned to the north

bank of the river and reoccupied its former camps, which became its winter quarters.

When the new commander of the army, Gen. Hooker, moved his forces across the Rappahannock, in the spring of 1863, the brigade (which then eom- prised, in addition to the New Jersey regiments, a New York and a Pennsylvania regiment) took part in the campaign, under command of Col. Mott, of the Fifth New Jersey. It crossed the river on the Ist of May, but remained near, guarding the fords, until about six o'clock p.M. on the 2d, when it was ordered to the front to help retrieve the disaster caused by the disgraceful flight and panic of the Eleventh Corps. It did not, however (on account of the wild disorder on the field), reach the position assigned to it until about two o'clock A.M. on the 3d. At half-past four it was advanced a short distance farther to the front, where it occupied a breast-work, and stubbornly held it for two hours against several desperate assaults made by the enemy, but was at last compelled to withdraw. It was reformed in the rear of the t'hancellor House, and soon after advanced to another charge, capturing the assaulted work and planting the Union colors upon it. It was found, however, that the stronghold could not be hell except at the probable sacrifice of nearly the entire command, and so it was reluctantly withdrawn, to take position in the new line which had been formed in the rear of the Chancellor House. In this battle the fighting was terrific, and the beha- vior of the New Jersey regiments splendid. The loss of the Fifth was one hundred and sixteen killed and wounded and nine missing; that of the Sixth, sixty- four killed and wounded and eight missing. After the operations above noted the brigade was not se- verely engaged, but remained on the field until the 6th of May, when it recrossed the Rappahannock and occupied its former eamp.

In the great battle of Gettysburg the brigade was engaged, and in the thickest of the fight, on the 2d of July, when it was under the heaviest artillery- and musketry-fire for a long time, and sustained repeated assaults of the enemy's infantry with unflinching bravery.

On the 3d it was again engaged, but less heavily. The losses of the Fifth Regiment on this field were seventy-eight killed and wounded and sixteen miss- ing; the Sixth lost thirty-three killed and wounded and eight missing. The total loss of the brigade was five hundred and thirteen. After the Conted- erate army had retreated across the Potomac the Jersey brigade, crossing that river with the army, went into camp at Bealton, Va. It was engaged in a fight with the enemy's cavalry and infantry at Me- Lean's Ford on the 15th of October, losing in all about thirty men. After this it participated in the movements of the army during the remainder of the year, but was not again engaged. Its winter quarters were taken near Brandy Station.

On the 4th of May, 1864, the Second New Jersey

Brigade *- then a part of the Second Army Corps- erossed the Rapidan at Ely's Ford, and moved rap- idly away with other commands of the army into the Virginia Wilderness. It became engaged with the enemy on the 5th, and again, more heavily, on the 6th. From this time it saw little fighting until the 10th, when it fought at Spottsylvania Court-house. The 11th was a day of comparative quiet, but on the 12th it again moved under fire in the terrific battle of that day at Spottsylvania.

" The behavior of the New Jersey regiments in this terrible battlo was superb. For fourteen hours They stood the very brunt of the storm, never yielding au inch or losing heart in their work. All around them the slaughter was terrible, but they remained unappalled. The rebel dead were piled in heaps on their side of the works, presenting a spec- tacle of horror nlmiost without parallel. Among the dead were many wounded writhing under the bloody heaje. On MeAllister'st immediate front, where the enemy repeatedly threw forward his massed columns to break our lines, a tree measuring twenty-six inches In diameter was (it is said) cut down by musket- und rifle-balls,-u fact which shows better than any description the intensity of the fire.";

The result of the struggle was undecisive, but the fighting had been so tremendous that the Union and Confederate forces were completely exhausted ; and, as it by mutual consent, hostilities were suspended during the succeeding two days. The brigade fought again on the 15th, with slight loss. It was subse- quently engaged on the 230 and 24th at Chesterfield Bridge, a few days later at Tolopotomy, and on June 3d in the bloody battle at Cold Harbor, where it suf- fered very severely. On the 7th it was at Baker's Mill, on the Chickahominy, and remained there until the 12th. Thence it moved to the James River, crossing that stream on the 14th, and arriving in front of Petersburg on the following day. On the 16th it took part in a general assault on the enemy's lines encircling that stronghold, and again in an equally bloody assault on the 18th. For three days afterwards the fighting was almost continuous. Still another heavy assault was made on the 230, and after that there was a comparative lull in the fighting through the remainder of the month. Up to that time-that is, during the months of May and June- the losses of the Fifth Regiment had been one hun- dred and sixteen killed, one hundred and nineteen wounded, and twenty-two missing; of the Sixth, one hundred and fifteen killed and wounded and eight missing.

The movements of the forces investing Petersburg from this time until its final capture were too numer- ous and complicated to be mentioned in detail. It is sutlicient to say that in all these movements, during the summer and fall of 1864 and the winter and spring of 1865, down to the closing scene at Appo- mattox, the regiments of the Second New Jersey Brigade bravely and nobly performed all the duties

* The brigade then comprised the Fifth, Sixth, Seveuth, Eighth, and Eleventh New Jersey, the One Hundred and Fifteenth Pennsylvania, and the First nud sixteenth Massachusetts Regimeista.

assigned to them and added new lustre to their al- ready brilliant record. The war was virtually ended by the surrender of Lee, and on the 2d of May the brigade left Burkeville Station for the march towards home. Passing through Richmond on the 6th, it ar- rived at Arlington on the 15th, and took part in the memorable review of the Army of the Potomac at the national capital on the 23d of May. A few days later the men were transported to' Trenton, where they were disbanded and returned to their homes. Following is given a list of officers and enlisted men of the two Hunterdon County companies in the Fifth and Sixth Regiments :
