the nation's head had been made, in New Jersey the feeling was active and intense. Within a few days over one hundred companies of volunteers, equal to ten thousand men, had offered their services under the Governor's proclamation, and the military depart- ments were so swarming with men and companies offering and pressing their services that many who could not be taken were obliged to wait till a second call was made by the government or go into regi- ments of other States to have their ambition to enter the public service gratified.
New Jersey's quota under the first call was filled in a few days. The first regimental offer was made by the First Regiment of the Hunterdon Brigade on the day following the Governor's proclamation; on the same day Capt. J. R. Cunningham tendered the ser- vices of the Camden Zouaves, and these were rapidly followed by similar offers from all parts of the State. The four regiments accepted were formed into a bri- gade known as the New Jersey Brigade, and placed under the command of Brig .- Gen. Theodore Runyon, of Newark. The First Regiment of this brigade was raised in Newark and vicinity, and the Second in Jersey City. It contained no organized company from Middlesex County.
In the Second Brigade of the New Jersey troops mustered under the call of the President issued July 24, 1861, there were nearly five full companies, viz. : Company H of the First Cavalry, and Companies C, E, F, and G of the First Regiment of Infantry (three years' men). Companies A and B of the First Cav- alry also had some men in them from this county. Companies A and B of the Ninth Regiment, Com- panies C, D, E, I, and K of the Fourteenth Regi- ment were also from the county of Middlesex. These were associated with Union County troops in their regimental organizations, the histories of which will be found in that portion of this volume, and need not be repeated here. In other organizations the Middlesex County men were most largely represented in the Twenty-eighth Regiment New Jersey Volun- teers, serving for nine months.
Twenty-eighth Regiment .- The Twenty-eighth Regiment was organized under the provision of an act of Congress approved July 22, 1861, and was mustered into the United States service for nine months on Sept. 22, 1862. A draft had been ordered for this date to fill a requisition made upon the Gov- ernor for ten thousand four hundred and seventy- eight men, to serve for nine months unless sooner discharged. Such was the enthusiasm throughout the State to raise the required quota by voluntary enlistments, and thus prevent the draft, that by the time for the latter the quota for the State was entirely filled. To this creditable result Middlesex County contributed nearly a full regiment, the Twenty-eighth, the balance, Company E, being raised in Ocean County, Company G principally in Gloucester County, Company H in Camden County, and a few of Com-

pany A in Monmouth County. We have condensed the following brief sketch of the regiment:
Company A was recruited from the counties of Middlesex and Monmouth : Captain, B. F. Lloyd ; First Lieutenant, J. R. Appleby ; Second Lieutenant, Wesley Stoney. Capt. Lloyd was taken sick while the regiment lay near Washington, and died soon after in hospital. Lieut. Appleby then took com- mand of the company, but did not hold the position, being discharged soon after the battle of Fredericks- burg. Lieut. Stoney saw service with the three months' meu, and was a brave and efficient officer ; was promoted to the captaincy after the death of Capt. Lloyd and the discharge of Appleby. J. Dob- son and H. D. B. Lefferts were appointed first and second lieutenants after the promotion of Stoney.
Company B was recruited in Middlesex County : Captain, H. S. Disbrow ; First Lieutenant, J. H. Gulick; Second Lieutenant, Alexander Laird. Capt. Disbrow was a gallant officer, with rare aptitude for command, and always shared with his men the hard. ships to which they were exposed. He led his com- pany with conspicuous bravery at Fredericksburg, and after the dismissal of Lieut .- Col. Roberts was for a time in command of the regiment. Lieut. Gulick had seen service with the Ellsworth Zouaves, and was among the bravest of the brave. Generous to a fault, and ever ready for duty, he was universally esteemed in the regiment.
Company C was raised in Middlesex : Captain, Joseph C. Letson ; First Lieutenant, William W. Stelle; Second Lieutenant, S. K. Conover. Capt. Letson was an accomplished officer, and led his men gallantly at Fredericksburg in the position of acting major, being wounded in the early part of the day by a rifle-ball through the arm, but still holding his position until the close of the engagement. When his company broke camp to move on Chancellors- ville he was at home on furlough, but at once hurried forward and joined his command before the battle, being again severely wounded. Lieut. Stelle, a gen- uine Christian soldier, fonght heroically at Chancel- lorsville, and was at all times found prepared for duty, however arduous or perilous. Lieut. Conover, also a brave and faithful officer, was seriously wounded at Chancellorsville, and did not return to the regiment.
Company D was recruited in Middlesex County : Captain, William H. Dunham ; First Lieutenant, Augustus Hatfield; Second Lientenant, William J. Cook. Lieut. IIatfield displayed throughout true soldierly qualities, and was engaged in all the actions in which his company took part. He for a time filled the post of quartermaster with zeal and fidelity.
Company F was raised in Middlesex County : Cap- tain, Isaac Inslee, Jr .; First Lieutenant, Benjamin A. Robbins; Second Lieutenant, J. W. Westerfield. Capt. Inslee was a man of ardent patriotism, and en- tered with his whole soul upon the soldier's life. He
studied closely the welfare of his men, and was uni- versally respected. Always at his post, proud of his command, and solicitous to promote its efficiency, no officer in the regiment has a better record, either as a disciplinarian or as a fighter. Lieut. Robbins, who was promoted to the adjutancy, was a capable officer, and discharged promptly every duty imposed upon him. Lieut. Westerfield being compelled on account of sickness to leave the service some two months after the regiment entered the field, Private S. Marsh was appointed second lieutenant from the ranks.
Company I was raised in Middlesex County : Cap- tain, Joseph L. Crowell ; First Lieutenant, James O. Willett ; Second Lieutenant, James Fothergill. Cap- tain Crowell led his company at Fredericksburg, and was slightly wounded. Sergt. John H. Tyrrill of this company fought with great bravery at Fredericks- burg, losing a foot; he was afterwards made lieutenant, but never returned to the field.
Company K was raised in Middlesex County : Cap- tain, George Storer; First Lieutenant, James Bris- nahau ; Second Lieutenant, Thomas Conk. Sergt. J. T. Bolton of this company displayed great gallantry at Fredericksburg, was made a lieutenant, and did much to promote the efficiency of the company.
The Twenty-eighth was mustered into the service at Freehold on the 22d of September, 1862. Its field- officers were as follows: Colonel, Moses N. Wisewell ; Lieutenant-Colonel, E. A. L. Roberts ; Major, S. K. Wilson; Adjutant, William A. Gulick ; Chaplain, C. J. Page; Surgeon, William D. Newell; Assistant Surgeon, Benjamin N. Baker.
Col. Wisewell, who took charge of the regiment at its organization, was a man of fine intellectual capa- city, and soon acquired a marked hold on the confi- dence of his men, which he retained until November following, when, obtruding upon his command in a public address certain offensive avowals in reference to the war and the gubernatorial contest then in prog- ress in New Jersey, he became obnoxious to a large portion of his regiment His courage, however, was undoubted, and at the battle of Fredericksburg he held his regiment with great gallantry, falling severely wounded and being carried from the field, to which he was unable to return until June, 1863.
Lieut .- Col. Roberts came from New York, and com- manded the regiment from the 14th of December, 1862, until the 2d of January ensuing, when he was discharged for tendering his resignation in the face of the enemy. Lieut .- Col. John A. Wildrick, who had been a captain in the Second Regiment, then assumed command and by his sound judgment and wise exer- cise of authority soon made the regimeut one of the most effective in the brigade to which it belonged. He led the command with great bravery in the battle of Chancellorsville, where he was taken prisoner, but being exchanged, returned to the field shortly after, and was discharged with the regiment.

Maj. Wilson commanded the regiment for a short time in January, 1863, and also in the following May, and was discharged with it upon the expiration of its term of service.
Surgeon Newell during the whole term of service performed the duties of his position with admirable efficiency and skill, and was ably seconded in all his efforts to promote the comfort of the men by his assistant, Dr. Baker.
Adjt. Gulick acquitted himself with great credit in the battle of Fredericksburg, and was throughout capable and faithful, exercising a controlling influ- ence in the regiment. Resigning his position, he was succeeded, in March, 1863, by Adjt. B. A. Robbins, who also proved a capable officer.
The chaplain of the regiment, who at the time of entering the service was pastor of a Baptist Church in Piscataway, was at all times prompt, earnest, and efficient, enjoying the fullest confidence of the men, and proving at once a guide and friend to all who needed counsel and assistance.
The regiment, nine hundred and forty strong, left Freehold on the 4th of October, 1862, and reaching Washington on the night of the 5th, encamped on Capitol Hill, being furnished a few days afterwards with Springfield muskets. On the 13th it marched into Virginia, and was attached to Gen. Abercrom- bie's command. On the 1st of December it again broke camp, and crossing into Maryland, marched to Liverpool Point, on the Lower Potomac, whence on the 5th it crossed to Acquia Creek, and in the midst of a driving snow-storm went into camp until the 8th, when it proceeded to Falmouth. Here it was attached to the First Brigade (Gen. Kimball's), Third Division (Gen. French's), Second Army Corps.
" During the whole time that the Twenty-eighth was connected with the Army of the Potomac it held a position on the immediate front, within a short distance of the Rappahannock, and was consequently at all times exposed to attack by 'raiding parties' of the enemy. Extraordinary vigilance and activity were thus constantly required, as every alarm, whether trifling or otherwise, summoned the men into line, there to remain for hours, and sometimes for a day and a night at a time, exposed to all the inclemency of midwinter, as well as to many privations which regiments in the rear never experienced."
