HUNTERDON AND SOMERSET COUNTY MEN IN OTHIER REGIMENTS.

In the Ninth New Jersey Infantry Regiment there was one company (F), Captain William B. Curlies, which was partially filled by men of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties. This regiment (originally a rifle organization) was mustered at Camp Olden, Trenton, in October, 1861, and left the State ou the 4th of De- cember following. On the 4th of January, 1862, it was moved to Annapolis, where it was embarked as part of the famous "Burnside expedition" against Roanoke Island, N. C. Its first battle was in the assault on the rebel works at that place, where it lost thirty-four killed and wounded. It also fought bravely at Newbern, and at other points in North Carolina during the campaign of that year, in a manner which drew from the Legislature of New Jersey the follow- ing flattering recognition of its services,-viz. :

The color so ordered were presented to the regiment at Newbern on the 24th of December, 1862.

Subsequently, until the close of the war, the Ninth fought with gallantry and distinction in a great num- ber of battles and skirmishes, of which the entire list, as recorded in the office of the adjutant-general of the State, is as follows: Roanoke Islaud, N. C., Feb. 8, 1861; Newbern, N. C., March 14, 1862; Fort Macon, N. C., April 25, 1862; Youug's Cross-Roads, N. C., July 27, 1862; Rowell's Mill, N. C., Nov. 2, 1862; Deep Creek, N. C., Dec. 12, 1862; Southwest Creek, N. C., Dec. 13, 1862; before Kinston, N. C., Dec. 13, 1862; Kiuston, N. C., Dec. 14, 1862; Whitehall, N. C., Dec. 16, 1862; Goldsboro', N. C., Dec. 17, 1862; Com- fort, N. C., July 6, 1863; near Winston, N. C., July 26, 1863; Deep Creek, N. C., Feb. 7, 1864; Cherry Grove, N. C., April 14, 1864; Port Walthall, Va., May 6 and 7, 1864; Swift Creek, Va., May 9 and 10, 1864; Drury's Bluff, Va., May 12 to 16, 1864; Cold Harbor, Va., June 3 to 12, 1864; Petersburg, Va., from June 20 to Aug. 24, 1864; Gardner's Bridge, N. C., Dec. 9, 1864; Foster's Bridge, N. C., Dec. 10, 1864; Butler's Bridge, N. C., Dec. 11, 1864; near Southwest Creek, N. C., March 7, 1865; Wise's Forks, N. C., March 8, 9, and 10, 1865; Goldsboro', N. C., March 21, 1865.

The Eleventh Infantry Regiment had one company (E) which was largely composed of men from Hun- terdon County. This regiment was raised in the summer of 1862, and, under command of Col. Robert McAllister, left Trenton on the 25th of August in that year for Washington, from which city it crossed the Potomac into Virginia, and was there engaged in the ordinary duties assigned to regiments fresh from the camp of organization. At Fairfax Court-house, on the 16th of November following, it was incor- porated with Carr's brigade of Sickles' division, and two days later set ont on the march to Falmouth, on the Rappahannock, where it arrived on the 27th with other commands of the great army which Gen. Burn- side was concentrating at that point in preparatiou for the great struggle at Fredericksburg. The terrible battle at that place, on the 13th of December, was the first general engagement in which the Eleventh took part, but (although its loss on that day was slight, being only six killed and wounded and six missing) the regiment performed all that was required of it, and behaved with steadiness and gallantry on this as. on many a later field.

From this time the Eleventh took part in all the campaigns of the Army of the Potomac until the close of the war. In the great battle of Chancellors- ville it lost one hundred and thirty-three in killed and wounded, and assisted in repelling some of the heaviest assaults* made by the veterans of Stonewall

" Resolved, That the Ninth Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers, by their patient endurance under privation and fatigue, and by their courage at the ever-to-be-remembored battles of Roanoke and Newbern (a courage evinced by the havoc made in their own unwavering columns better than by the reports of partial journals), have sustained the high reputation which sinco the days of the Rovolution has belonged to the soldiers of New Jersey ; and as evidence of our appreciation of that acme of every manly virtue, 'patriotic devotion to country,' the Governor of the State is requested to have prepared and forwarded to said regiment a standard, on which shall be inscribed these words : ' Presented by New Jersey to her Ninth Regiment, In remembrance of Roanoke and Newbern.'"

Jackson. At Gettysburg, on the 2d of July, it sus- tained some of the heaviest attacks of the day, losing one hundred and fifty-four officers and men killed and wounded. It fought at Kelly's Ford of the Rap- pahannoek on the 8th of November, taking a large number of prisoners. On the 26th it was engaged at Loenst Grove, losing twenty-six killed and wounded. On the 3d of December it went into winter quarters near Brandy Station.

On the opening of the spring campaign of 1864 the Eleventh left its winter camp at one o'clock A.M. on the 4th of May, and moved into the " Wilderness." In the terrible advance through that dark and bloody ground, in the fire and carnage of Spottsylvania, at Cold Harbor, on the route from that ghastly fiehl to the front of Petersburg, and in the tedious and de- structive operations against that stronghold during the summer of 1864 and the spring of 1865, its mem- bers always showed conspicuous gallantry and strict attention to the requirements of sollierly duty. L'pon the termination of hostilities its survivors were marched to Washington, and thence were transported to Trenton, where they arrived on the 15th of June, 1865, and were soon after discharged.

The Thirty-eighth Regiment of infantry, which was raised in the summer and autumn of 1864, under Col. William J. Sewell, contained one company (B, Capt. George W. Day) which was partially made up of men from Hunterdon County. Upon leaving the State this regiment proceeded to City Point, Va., thenee to Bermuda Hundred, and from there to Fort Powhatan, on the James River, about fifteen miles below City Point. The troops at that place consisted of this regiment, a squadron of cavalry, and a battery of artillery, and their duties were keeping the river open and protecting a line of telegraph for a distance of about forty miles. In the performance of this duty skirmishes with guerrilla bands frequently occurred, but no general engagement resulted. The Thirty- eighth remained at Fort Powhatan engaged in this duty until the close of the war, when it was ordered to City Point, and thence to Trenton, where it arrived on the 4th of July, 1865.

school in the same high estimation with which they were regarded in their own Fatherland. The charter of the West India Company (1629) enjoined upon its patrons and the colonists " in the speediest manner to endeavor to find out ways and means whereby they might support a minister and a schoolmaster."

The first schoolmaster who taught in New Jersey was Englebert Steenhuysen, at Jersey City, in 1662,* where the first school-house was erected in 1664.

One hundred years prior to the Declaration of Independence (in 1676) the Scotch Presbyterians brought preachers and schoolmasters with them, and established schools in their settlements in East Jersey.t The Woodbridge charter (1669) also looked after the subject of edueating the young ; James Ful- lerton was the first schoolmaster there, in 1689. With the pioneer Quakers in West New Jersey, education being a part of their religion, schools were very early established. The first school fund established in the province (and, we think, in America) was by the set- tlement at Burlington, in 1683, in setting apart an island in the Delaware, opposite the town, for educa- tional purposes, and the revenues derived from the rent or sale of lands were reserved for the support of schools.

Twice under the proprietary government were schools and schoolmasters made the subject of legis- lation. First, in 1693,-the first school law of the State,-the General Assembly of East New Jersey authorized the inhabitants of any town, by warrant from any justice of the peace, to meet and choose three men to make a rate and establish the salary of a schoolmaster for as long a time as they might think proper, a majority of the inhabitants to compel the payment of any rates levied and withhell, the act setting forth that "the cultivation of learning and good manners tends greatly to the good and benefit of mankind."# This act, being found ineouvenient, " by reason of the distance of the neighborhood," in 1695 was amended : it provided that three men should be chosen annually in each town, to have power to select. a teacher "and the most convenient place or places where the school shall be kept, that as near as may be the whole inhabitants may have the benefit thereof." This was a complete recognition of the principle of taxing property for the support of public schools, which at that time was up to the most ad- vanced legislation on this subject in America.2 Under this law schools were established in all parts of the province.

The College of New Jersey was incorporated in 17446, and ten years later was permanently located at Princeton. The Presbyterian Church founded a the-

ological school at the same place in 1811. Rutgers College was chartered by King George III. in 1770, under the name of Queen's College, at New Bruns- wick. In 1825 the State Legislature changed its name in honor of Henry Rutgers, one of its benefactors. The Reformed Church control this institution.

" The first definite step taken by the Legislature of the State to provide the means of education by cre- ating a fund for the support of free schools was in 1817. The act that was passed made certain appro- priations for the establishment of a permanent school fund." The following year a board of trustees was established for the management of the school fund. In 1820 the townships of the State were first autho- rized to raise money for school purposes,-for the education of "such poor children as are paupers." It was in consequence of this legislation that the New Jersey public schools were for so many years regarded as pauper schools .* In 1824 it was enacted that one- tenth of all the State taxes should every year be added to the school fund. In 1828 townships were first empowered to vote moneys at town-meeting for the building and repairing of school-houses. During the next few years there was a general agitation of the subject of public education throughout the State. A " central committee," appointed by a convention held at Trenton in 1828, canvassed the State; the Rev. Dr. Maclean, of the College of New Jersey, the same year delivered at Princeton an address, in which he urged nearly all the features that characterize the present system of public instruction ; the New Jersey Missionary Society appointed a committee to inquire into the condition of education in the State, etc.t

To the many memorials and petitions the Legisla-' ture nobly responded in the law of 1829, which appro- priated twenty thousand dollars annually from the school fund, and which was the first comprehensive school law in the State. In 1831 these funds were bestowed upon all schools, public, private, or paro- chial. The enactment of 1838, while repealing all former acts, restored many of the desirable features of the act of 1829. Township school committees were again to be elected, who were to proceed to divide the township into school districts ; they were required to visit schools and make reports as before. By it, also, the annual appropriation was increased by an addi- tion of ten thousand dollars. Teachers were obliged to pass examination and obtain license from boards of county examiners elected by the chosen freeholders, or from the township school committees.

The constitution of 1844 required the school fund to be securely invested, and to remain a perpetual

fund. In 1845 a State superintendent was first pro- vided.

By the law of 1846, while the annual school fund appropriation remained the same and the limitations of school age-five and sixteen-were continued, many other features were changed. The licensing of teachers, before optional, now became obligatory, as also the requirement that townships shall (not may) raise a sum "at least equal to that received from the State, and not greater than twice such amount." In 1848 authority was first given townships to use the interest of the surplus revenue for the support of public schools. In 1851 an amendment to the act of 1846 increased the annual appropriation to forty thousand dollars, changed the basis of apportion- ment, and made the school-age limitatiou five and eighteen years, which latter still obtains. In 1854 teachers' institutes were first established. In 1855 the Legislature provided for the purchase of a copy of "Webster's Unabridged Dictionary" for each school in the State, and the next year added a copy of " Lip- pincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer of the World." The State Normal School was instituted in 1855. The State board of education was established in 1866. The act of 1867 authorized the board to appoint county superintendents. The county superintendent, with two teachers selected by him, became the county examiner; examinations were held quarterly, and certificates issued of three grades.

The Legislature of 1871 passed the liberal act which made all the public schools of the State entirely free. A fixed State school tax of two mills on the dollar was substituted for the uncertain township school tax, and trustees were prohibited from charging tui- tion fees. In 1876 certain amendments to the State constitution were ratified which make it impossible for the State or municipalities to make any appro- priations to sectarian schools, obligatory upon the State to maintain an efficient system of free schools, and prohibited all special school legislation. At present (1879) the school fund amounts to $1,660,502.

For much of the above history we are indebted to Ellis A. Apgar, the present efficient State superin- tendent of public instruction, and to which we append some special mention of the schools of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties.

EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS, 1879.

At the present time Hunterdon County has 10,585 children between five and eighteen years of age, of whom 8721 were enrolled in the school registers, with an average attendance of 4185 ;} 70 male and 72 fe- male teachers have been employed, of whom 18 are of the first grade, 32 second grade, and 91 third grade. Of the 108 school-houses, 79 are constructed of wood, 7 of brick, and 22 of stone, which are valued at over

* The opprobrious term " paupers" remained in all subsequent enact- ments relating to public schools until the year 1838.

+ From the report of a committee of the Legislature of 1829 we make the following extract : "The lamontable truth appears that nearly fifteen thousand persons over the age of fifteen years remain in total ignorance, unable either to read or write; . . . nearly twelve thousand children under the age of fifteen years are deprived of the means of obtaining even the first rudiments of an education."

$145,000. The schools of the county are graded as follows: Of the first grade, 15; second grade, 17; third grade, 58; fourth grade, 12; fifth grade, 6; total, 108 .* The number of school districts is 104; of school departments, 137 ; number of unsectarian pri- vute schools, 8; sectarian private schools, 3. The per- centage of average attendance upon the public schools in 1879 was .48 ; percentage of the census in the public schools, .83; percentage attending private schools, .04; percentage attending no schools, .13. Eighteen of the schools have libraries, embracing several hun- dred volumes. The present county superintendent is R. S. Swackhamer, of White House, from whose re- cent reportt we learn that school-houses were com- pleted during the year in Districts Nos. 5, 52, and 108 (Mount Airy, Lebanon township; New Stone, Union township; and Lambertville), the latter being "a model in regard to size, arrangement, and construc- tion." Hunterdon County's apportionment from the State appropriation for 1879 was $38,508.72.

Somerset County has, according to the statistical tables, 5477 children between the ages of five and eighteen enrolled in the school registers, # of which the average number who attended school in 1879 was 2631; these were taught by 32 male and 56 female teachers, occupying 72 school-houses, valued at about $90,000. The school-houses of the county will com- fortably seat nearly 4000 chiktren. The grade of the schools of the county is as follows: 8 first grade, 27 second, 31 third, and 6 fourth. The nine townships are divided into 71 school districts, containing 72 schools? and 88 school departments. There are also sixteen private schools in the county. Sixteen of the public schools have libraries, aggregating 1182 vol- unes. J. S. Haynes is the county superintendent.

The following is the apportionment of the appro- priations for public schools in the several townships of Somerset County for the school-year commencing Sept. 1, 1880, according to the report of I. S. Haynes, the county superintendent :
