THE services of the Thirtieth and Thirty-first New Jersey Regiments in the war of the Rebellion were so nearly identical that it has been thought proper, in the following narrative, to blend the account of them together as one. These regiments, with nine others (Twenty-first to Twenty-ninth, inclusive), were raised under President Lincoln's call of Ang. 4, 1862, for three hundred thousand men, to be drafted from the militia or otherwise enlisted for the term of nine months unless sooner discharged. As there was apparent among the people of the State a general de- sire that a draft might be avoided, it was announced by the authorities that volunteers, in lieu of drafted men, would be received up to the 1st of September, but that if at that time the requisite number should not have been obtained, the draft would then certainly proceed in townships which had not filled their quota. The result showed that drafting was unnecessary, for on the 2d of September ten thousand eight hundred volunteers (three hundred and twenty-two men more than the quota of the State) were actually in camp at the five different points designated as places of ren- dezvous. On the morning of the 3d the Governor announced to the War Department at Washington that the quota of New Jersey was full, and that the men (not one of whom was drafted) were already in camp, ready for muster.

The rendezvous of the Thirtieth and Thirty-first Regiments was at Flemington, where the first compa- nies reported on the 27th of August, and occupied the camp-ground which the Fifteenth Regiment had just before vacated. The work of organization pro- ceeded energetically, and both regiments were mus- tered into the United States service on the 17th of Septemher. Their regimental officers were: Of the Thirtieth : Colonel, Alexander E. Donaldson ;* lieu- tenant-colonel, John J. Chadek; major, Walter Cam- man ; adjutant, John W. Mann; quartermaster, Lemuel R. Young; surgeon, Joseph W. Wolverton ; assistant-surgeons, Alexander Barclay, Jr., George E. Summers; chaplain, John S. Janeway. Of the Thirty-first : Colonel, Alexander P. Berthoud; lieu- tenant-colonel, William Holt; major, Robert R. Honeyman; adjutant, Martin Wyckoff; quartermaster, Israel Wells; surgeon, Robert B. Browne; assistant- surgeons, Joseph S. Cook, Nathaniel Jennings ; chap-

lain, John McNair. In the Thirtieth there were five companies from Somerset County,-viz., A company, raised at North Branch, Capt. Arthur S. Ten Eyck ; E company, raised at Somerville, Capt. Cornelius T. Cox; F company, raised at Neshanic, Capt. Oliver A. Kibbe ; I company, raised at Basking Ridge, Capt. John C. Bloom ; and K company, raised at Middle- bush, Capt. Benjamin S. Totten. Two companies were from Hunterdon County,-viz .: D company, Capt. Barclay S. Vail, and G company, Capt. George W. Day. In the Thirty-first there were four Hunterdon County companies,-viz. : A company (New German- town), Capt. Samuel Carhart; D company (Flem- ington), Capt. Alexander V. Bonnell; E company, Capt. Woodbury D. Holt; and K company, Capt. Nelson Bennett.

The Thirty-first was the first of the two regiments to depart for the front, leaving the State on the 26th of September. The Thirtieth, one thousand strong, followed on the last day of the same month, and a few days later both regiments were encamped near Tenal- lytown, Md., a few miles north of Washington. Here they remained until the 1st of December, when they moved from Tenallytown and proceeded, by way of Fort Carroll, Piscataway, Md., and Mattawoman Creek, to Liverpool Point, on the Maryland side of the Lower Potomac. They were now a part of the provisional brigade formed of these two, with the Twenty-second and Twenty-ninth New Jersey and One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Pennsylvania Regi- ments. They crossed the Potomac on the 5th of De- cember, landing at Aquia Creek, Va., where the men suffered greatly from exposure in the excessively cold and stormy weather. Soon after, the brigade was placed under command of Gen. Patrick, provost- marshal-general of the Army of the Potomac, and under his orders they were placed on post, railroad, and provost duty, the Thirty-first being stationed at Belle Plains, Va. The Thirtieth was moved to Fal- mouth, opposite Fredericksburg, but neither regiment took part in the great battle at that place on the 13th of December, under Gen. Burnside.

On the 10th of Jannary, the Thirtieth was ordered to Belle Plains, Va., where the Thirty-first was sta- tioned, and the two, with the Twenty-second and Twenty-ninth New Jersey, were brigaded together, forming the Third Brigade (under Gen. G. R. Paul) of the First Division (Wadsworth's) in Reynolds' (First) army corps. From the 20th to the 23d of January, inclusive, they participated in the discouraging and profitless "mud march" of the Rappahannock, and on the last-named day returned to their camps, which then became their winter quarters.

Col. Donaldson having resigned soon after the cross- ing into Virginia, Lieut .- Col. Chadek became colonel of the Thirtieth, and, on the 12th of March, Capt. A. S. Ten Eyck of A company was commissioned major, vice Camman promoted. On the 5th of April, Maj. Ten Eyck was promoted to the lieutenant-colonelcy,

THIRTIETHI AND THIRTY-FIRST INFANTRY REGIMENTS.

and commanded the regiment during most of its subse- After this crossing the Thirty-first moved rapidly quent movements. In the Thirty-first, on account of "on and rejoined the brigade, which had already ad- the resignation of Lieut .- Col. Holt, Maj. Robert R. ( vanced a considerable distance up the river. Honeyman was promoted to be lieutenant-colonel, and the command of the regiment devolved on him during nearly all the remainder of its term of service, Col. Berthoud being for a time in command of the brigade, and afterwards retiring on account of sick- ness.

Both regiments with their brigade participated in the spring campaign of 1863, which culminated in the disastrous battle of Chancellorsville. On the 29th of April the brigade crossed the Rappahannock at " Franklin's Crossing," below the town of Fredericks- burg.

"On the morrow. Into in the afternoon, the brignde wne ndvanced to meet an approaching advance of rebel infantry, the Thirty-first forming the second line of battle, in support of the Twenty-ninth Now Jersey. The line had scarcely been formed on the summit of the dechvity form- Ing the river-bank when the enemy quickly withdrew and opened a re- morseless fire from his batteries which no troops were able to stand. The Twenty-ninth, being most exposed, fell back, forming in the rear of the Thirty-first, all the troops protecting themselves by lying flat on the ground. There were no casualties in the Thirty-tirst, owing to Its for- tunate position, but the firing was terrific. About dusk the firing slack- ened, and soon censed, whon the Thirty-first was ordered to advance under cover of the darkness and complete and occupy some riffe-pits in close proximity to the rebel line, which was at once done, the men work- ing in profound ellenre most of the night in strengthening their position. . . . Day broke on the field, but passed, quite unexpectedly, as peace- fully ns if the foo hud quit the scene. On the 2d, however, the batteries of the enemy opened with a terrible fire, compelling the division speedily to retire. The Thirty-first, however, maintained its position in compara- tive entety, relying upon its defenses, which were so well constructed as to bo highly complimented by Gens. Wadsworth and Paul."e

During these operations the main force of Gen. Hooker had sustained a severe reverse at ('hancelors- ville, and orders were now received for Reynolds' corps to move up and reinforce the army at that point. In executing this movement it was necessary to hold the advanced line, with the apparent intention of en- gaging the enemy, until the main body of the corps had crossed to the north side of the river. The Thirty-first was a part of the rear-guard left for this purpose, and it was the last regiment to eross the pon- toon-bridge, which it did under a most destructive artillery-fire from the enemy, who had by this time become aware of the purpose of the movement, and seemed determined to annihilate the little force which had held him at bay. An officer of the regiment, writing of the affair, said,-

" The situation of the regiment at this time was most critical. The cor- respondent of the New York Times reported the Thirty-first na 'eut to pieces." When he left that portion of the field the regiment was nearly surrounded and the bridge In Hfs rear partiully destroyed. The whole corps was In motion, the Thirty-first alone excepted, it bring left to hold the enemy at that point as long as possible, and to deceive him as to numbers. The men behaved admirably, marching firmly down to the bridge, where they were held until a battery had crossed, expecting every moment to be charged upon. After crowing we were obliged to mentler, us the enemy had ncenrate inngo of na. The colonel had previously designated n rallying-point for the regiment, which proved to be beyond Ids elservation, nud every man como to time in that race. We saved the battery, but camo near losing the regiment."

" Foster's " New Jersey and the Rebellion."

The march of the brigade with its corps was made with all possible speed to United States Ford on the Rappahannock, several miles above Fredericksburg. This point was reached late in the night, and the wearied men bivouacked on the north bank for a brief rest. At daylight in the morning they crossed the river at the Ford, and the Thirtieth and Thirty-first with their brigade moved along the line, by way of the Chancellor House, to the extreme right of the army, where it took position at sunrise on the 3d of May. Through all the day and succeeding night it remained in that position without becoming engaged. On the 4th the position of the Thirty-first was changed more to the right, but neither this nor the Thirtieth Regiment was brought into action on the field of Chancellorsville, though at times lying under very heavy fire. On the 5th orders were given for the army to withdraw to the north side of the Rappa- hannock, and during that night these two regiments crossed the river, though at different points. On the 7th they rejoined the brigade, which then went into camp near the "Fitzhugh House," not far from the river, and two or three miles below Fredericksburg.

No events of importance occurred thenceforth in the history of these regiments. When the Army of the Potomac left the vicinity of Falmouth and started northward on the route that finally brought it to the field of Gettysburg, the Thirtieth and Thirty-first moved with the other commands, but at the end of one day's march orders were received directing their return and muster out, their term of service having expired. Under these orders they moved back to Falmouth, whence, after turning over their wagons and other quartermaster's property, they marched to Stafford Court-house, and from there to Dumfries and across the Occoquan to Alexandria. They soon moved across the Potomac to Washington, where a slight delay occurred, and then they were transported by rail to New Jersey and mustered out of the servier at Flemington.

The experience of these two regiments on the field of conflict had not been great, and their losses in actual battle were but nominal; but Fredericksburg and Chancelorsville had proved their bravery and steadfastness, and that they were worthy of the patri- otie State which had sent them to the tield.
