then commanded the regiment till the close of the war.
The operations of the regiment were confined to the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, and On the 24th of December, 1862. a beautiful stand of colors, costing seven hundred dollars, was presented Virginia. The number of companies were. on the 18th of November, 1862, reduced from twelve to ten. : to the regiment by the Legislature of New Jersey, ; In January, 1864, a majority of the regiment re- accompanied by the following resolution : enlisted in the field, and received a veteran furlough. The regiment maintained its organization till the . elose of the war, being strengthened from time to time, during 1863-64 and 1865, by recruits from the draft-rendezvous at Trenton. It participated in the following engagements :
Roanoke Island, N. C., Feb. $, 1-62 ; Newberne, N. C., March 14, 1862; Fort Macun, N. C., April 25, 1862; Young's Cross Roads, N. C., July 27, 1862; Rowell's Mills, N.

C., March , 9, and 10, 1865; Goldsborough, N. C., March 21, 1865.
In their first battle, that of Roanoke Island, the regiment operated successfully in a swamp ; and their gallantry, it was believed, secured the success of the day by enabling the army to operate effectively on the enemy's flank. On the 10th of February, Gen. Burnside promulgated an order that the Ninth Regi- ment should have the words " Roanoke Island, Feb. 8, 1862," emblazoned on their banners, as a compli- ment for their gallantry on that day. The only ord- nance that could be brought to bear on the enemy, because of the deep moras, and the almost impene- trable thiickets which the troops traversed, was a small rifled cannon, manned wholly by soldiers detailed from the Ninth, and the gunboat which did the greatest execution on the fort had her guns worked by a detail from the same regiment. "On the 10th," says the Newark Daily Advertiser, " this detail asked to be sent back to their regiment, but the couimodore re- plied that the 'Jersey Blues' had shown themselves too good managers of the big guns to allow him to part with them ; that they were true blues, and 110 mistake."
The following testimonials to the gallantry of this regiment are selected from many that might be given. In speaking of the battle of Newberne the New York Tribune said,-
"In the capture of Newberne the Ninth New Jer- sey Regiment sustained the honor of their State with characteri-tie gallantry. Though their position in that brilliant engagement was one of great exposure, they bore themselves through the conflict like vet- erans, suffering more severely than any other regi- ! ment on the field. Out of a total loss of three hun-
dred and sixty-four killed and wounded, they lost sixty-two, or one-sixth of the whole, although twelve . regiments were in the battle."
" Rewired, That the Ninth Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers, by their patient endurance under privation atul fatigue, and by their cour- age at the ever-to-Le-remembered battles of Roanoke and New berue ix rontare evinced by the havoc made in their own unwavering colton.s better thau by the reports of partial journal-y, have sustained the high reputation which, since the days of the Revolution, hns belonged to the soldiers of New Jersey, and as evidence of our appreciation of that deme of every manly virtue, patriotic devotion to country, the Governor of the State is requested to have prepared and forwarded to said regiment & standard, on which shall be inscribed these words, . Presented by New Jersey to her Ninth Regimeut, in remembrance of Roanoke and New- berne.'"

Tenth Regiment .- "This regiment was raised by individuals not authorized by the State, and accepted by the War Department as an independent organiza- tion some time in the fall of 1861, and was not known by the State authorities until it was placed under their care, Jan. 29, 1862."
Such is the statement indorsed on the original ros- ter. The organization was at first known as the "Olden Legion.". It was recruited at Beverly, where it had its headquarters, by William Bryan, who be- came its colonel, and proceeded to Washington in December, 1861.
When the regiment was accepted by the State, it was in a measure reorganized, and placed under the command of Col. William R. Murphy. It was de- tailed for provost duty at Washington in February, 1862, and so remained until the spring of 1863, much to the dissatisfaction of Col. Murphy, who resigned because the regiment was not ordered into active ser- vice. His place was filled by Col. Henry Ogden Ry- erson, who fell in the battle of the Wilderness, May 6, 1864.
From the time the Tenth Regiment engaged in the more active and perilous duties of the war it made for itself a most brilliant record. "It shared in all the battles of the Wilderness, and fought with its corps all the way to Petersburg, on every field dis- | playing conspicuous gallantry," and when transferred, with the First Brigade, to the Shenandoah Valley, it made, in the several campaigns of that region, an equally honorable record till the close of the war.
The Tenth was engaged in the following actions :
Carrsville, Va., May 9, 1-63; Wilderness, Va , May 5 to 7, 1-64 ; Spott- eylvania, Va., May 8 to 11, 1-64; Sport-ylvania Court-House, Va., May 12 to 16, 1864; North and South Auna River, Va , May 24, 1-64; Hano- ver Court-House, Va., May 23, 1-64; Tol potomy Creek, Va., May 1) and 31, 16G1; Cold Harbor, Vi., June 1 to 3, 1.64; before Petersburg, .
