In the battle of Gettysburg the brigade was engaged in the thickest of the fight on the 2d of July, and sustained repeated assaults of the enemy's infantry with unflinching bravery. It was also engaged on the 3d, but less heavily. The total loss of the brigade in this battle was five hundred and thirteen.
After this battle it crossed the Potomac with the army, and encamped at Bealeton, Va. On the 15th of October it was engaged in a fight with the enemy's . cavalry and infantry at McLean's Ford, losing about thirty men. During the remainder of the year it participated in the movements of the army, but it was not engaged in battle. It went into winter quar- ters near Brandy Station.

The movements of the forces inve-ting Petersburg from this time until its capture were too numerous and complicated to be mentioned in detail. It is suf- ficient to say that in all these operations during the summer and fall of 1864 and the spring of 1865, down to the closing scene at Appomattox, the regiments of

Lee, and on the 2d of May, 1865, the brigade left Burkeville Station for the march home- ward. It passed through Richmond on the 6th, ar- rived at Arlington on the 15th, and took part in the grand review at Washington on the 23d of May. A few days later the men were transported to Trenton, where they were disbanded, and returned to their homes.

CHAPTER XIV. CIVIL WAR .- (Continued.) NINTH AND TENTHI REGIMENTS.
Ninth Regiment .- The Ninth Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers was recruited as a rifle regiment, under a requisition from the War Department, in the fall of 1861. It was composed of volunteers from different parts of the State, and among them were abont sixty-five from Gloucester, ninety from Salem, and thirty from Cumberland County. It was mus- tered at Camp Olden, Trenton, and on the 4th of De- cember it proceeded to Washington, having on its rolls an aggregate of one thousand one hundred and fifty-nine men. Joseph W. Allen was colonel of the regiment ; C. A. Heckman, lieutenant-colonel ; Fran- eis Weller, surgeon ; Louis Braun, assistant surgeon : Abram Zabriskie, adjutant ; Samuel Keyes, quarter- master ; and Thomas Drumm, chaplain. On its ar- rival at Washington the regiment went into camp on the Bladensburg turnpike, where it remained until Jan. 4, 1862, when it proceeded by rail to Annapolis, where a large portion of the troops composing Burn- side's expedition to North Carolina had already as- sembled. Ilere the regiment was assigned to the brigade of Gen. Jesse Reno ; and on the 10th it em- barked for Fortress Monroe, whence, on the 12th, it sailed for Hatteras Inlet, where it arrived on the 15th. Here a disaster occurred which cast a gloom not only over the regiment and army in that quarter, but over' many anxious friends at home. Having cast anchor off' the Inlet, the field and staff officers went on shore to report to Gen. Burnside : returning, the boat was capsized and swamped in a heavy surf, and all on board were left to struggle with the merciless waves. Col. Allen and Surgeon Weller were drowned. Lieut .- Col. Heckman, Adjt. Zahriskie, and Q.M. Keyes narrowly escaped. The second mate, sent from the ship in charge of the boat, was also drowned. Lieut .- Col. Heckman and Adjt. Zabriskie, being expert swimmers, made several heroic attempts to rescue the colonel and Surgeon Weller, but were unsuccessful. These two brave men, after battling with the waves till their strength was nearly exhausted, succeeded in making a signal with a sailor's shirt lifted upon an oar, which was seen, and the -teamer " Patuxent" at once hastened to their relief. So overcome were the survivors by their exertions that on reaching the deck of the steamer some of them sank into insensibility. tion during several days.
