GENERAL HISTORY.
ment would compare favorably with any in the ser- vice.
It arrived in Washington on the 11th of October, 1$62, and was first made a part of Gen. Casey's divi- sion. Early in November it went to Fairfax Semi- nary, and on the 30th of that month marched for Falmouth, where it arrived on the 9th of December, and became a part of the Ninth Army Corps. In the battle of Fredericksburg it was closely engaged, and made an honorable record. After this battle it remained in camp near Falmouth till Mareb, 1863, when it proceeded to Suffolk. and encamped near the Dismal Swamp, where it remained about a; month, when it engaged for a time in building roads and bridges. In the action near Suflulk, Va., May 3, 1862, the Twenty-fifth was again engaged, and to its gallantry was largely due the success of the day.
A month later it was ordered home, and on the 20th of June it was mustered out of the service, at Beverly. In a special order, issued when the regi- ment left the field, Gen. Getty said,-
"Since the regiment joined this division, last November, they have im- proved as soldiers with great rapidity ; from the most inexperienced they have become worthy to be ranked as veterans. Everything required of them has been performed cheerfully and well, and they return home with the proud consciousness of having done their duty."

CIVIL WAR .- (Continued.)
TWENTY-EIGHTH AND THIRTY-SECOND REGIMENTS.
Twenty-eighth Regiment .- The Twenty-eighth Regiment was organized under the provisions of an act of Congress approved July 22, 1861, and was mustered into the United States service, for nine months, Sept. 22, 1862. A draft had been ordered for this date, to fill a requisition for ten thousand four hundred and seventy-eight men, to serve nine months, unless sooner discharged. Such was the en- thusiasm of the people that by the time for the draft the quota for the State was entirely filled by volun- tary enlistment. Company G of this regiment was
company was officered by Captain, Lewis Schoch ; First Lientenant, Jesse C. Chew ; and Second Lieu- tenant, Thomas Applegate. Lieut. Chew was sue- ceeded by Lieut. Charles L. Lukens.
The field and staff officers of the Twenty-eighth were :
Colonel, Moses \. 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 assumed command of the regi- ment at its organization, was a man of fine intel- lectual capacity, and soon acquired a marked hold on the confidence of his men, which he retained for a time, but in November, 1862, by obtruding on his command certain offensive avowals in reference to the war and the gubernatorial contest then in prog- ress in New Jersey, he became unpopular with a large portion of his regiment. His courage, how- ever, was undoubted, and at the battle of Fredericks- burg he held his regiment with great gallantry. He feli, severely wounded, and was carried from the field. He was not able to resume service till June, 1563.
Lieut .- Col. Roberts was from New York. He was in command of the regiment from the 14th of No-

vember, 1862, till the 2d of January, 1863, when he wa- 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 exereise of authority soon made the regi- ment 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, he soon re- turned and was discharged with the regiment.
Maj. Wilson commanded the regiment a short time in January, 1863, and also in the following May, and was discharged with it at the expiration of its term of service.
Surg. Newell, during the entire term of service, performed the duties of his position with admirable efficiency and skill, and was ably seconded in all his efforts by his assistant, Dr. Baker.
Adjt. Gulick acquitted himself with honor in the battle of Fredericksburg, and was an efficient officer throughout. He resigned, and was succeeded in March, 1863, by Adjt. B. A. Robbins, who was also a . capable officer.
The chaplain, who at the time of entering the ser- vice was pastor of a Baptist Church at Piscataway, proved to be a prompt and faithful officer.
The regiment, nine hundred and forty strong, left Freehold on the 4th of October, 1862, and reaching Washington the night of the 5th, eneamped on Capitol Hill, and was furnished a few days afterward 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 eamp, crossed into Maryland, and marched to Liverpool Point, on the lower Potomae, whenee, on the 5th, it crossed to Acqnia Creek, and in the midst of a driving snowstorm went into camp till the stli, when it proceeded to Falmouth. There it was at- tached 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 dis- tance of the Rappahannock, and was, consequently, at all times exposed to attack by raiding parties of the enemy. Extraordinary vigilance and activity were thns constantly required, as every alarmı, 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 priva- tions which regiment- in the rear never experience." It took part in the engagements at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville.

GENERAL HISTORY.
ton ; Assistant Surgeons, William W. Bowlby and Lawrence O. Morgan.
The regiment first eneamped in Virginia, a short distance above Alexandria, where it spent a month in drill, varied by two or three scouting expedition> by detachments.
On the 9th of October it departed by rail for the Southwest, reaching Cincinnati on the 15th, and from there proceeding by water to Eastport, Miss. There it was engaged in scouting the surrounding country, and occasionally skirmishing with the enemy. On the 6th of December it went by steamer to Columbus, Ky., and thence, on the 15th. to Union City, Tenn. On the 23d it moved to Paris, Tenn., where it re- mained till the 16th of Jannary, 1864, and then re- turned to Union City. On the 22d it marched for Memphis, and reached Colliersville, within twenty- five miles of that place, on the 8th of February, after a very severe march. Ou the 11th the regiment, with other troops. started on an expedition to etfeet a june- tion with Gen. Sherman, who was about to move to- wards Mobile. On the route several skirmishes and two considerable actions occurred, and on the 20th Gen. Sherman's forces were met near West Point, about one hundred miles north from Meridian. On the 22d, at Okolona, the regiment was in action, and by its gallantry aided in retrieving some disasters that had befallen two brigades of Union troops.
During the month of April the regiment was sev- eral times engaged, and on the 30th of that month it started, with other cavalry and a force of infantry, under Gen. Sturgis, to operate against the rebel gen- eral Forrest, who had been raiding through Southern Kentucky and Western Tennessee, but who had re- treated into Mississippi. On the 2d of May Somer- ville was reached, and the enemy was attacked in his intrenchments on the heights of Rolivar. The Second New Jersey charged the work>, and drove out the rebel force, which retreated in confusion. The force soon afterwards went into camp at White's Station, below Memphis.
Another expedition, under Gen. Sturgis, was sent against Forrest, who-e force was encountered at Gun- town, on the 10th of June, and a battle was fought, which, by reason of the mismanagement of the com- mander, resulted disastrously to the Union force. The conduet of the Second New Jersey in this action was highly ereditable.
Early in July the regiment, with other troops, was transferred to Vicksburg, in the vicinity of which it was several times engaged. It returned to Memphis, then went again on a fruitless pursuit of Forrest, after which it was idle during two or three months. Late in November it made a successful expedition into Arkansas. About the 20th of December it went, with other troops, under Gen. Grierson, to Ripley, Miss. From this point expeditions were sent to various places, immense amounts of military stores were captured and destroyed, and several severe engage-
ments occurred. In one of these. at Egypt Station, the Second New Jersey had seventy-four men and more than eighty horses killed.
From this part of Mis-i -- ippi the command moved southwesterly to Vicksburg, and thence the Second New Jersey returned by steamer to Memphis, where it arrived on the 6th of January, 1865. Foster says, " No expedition of the war was more completely sue- ces-ful, and in none did the Second New Jersey ex- hibit greater gallantry and soldierly endurance than in this dash through the very heart of Mississippi."
The regiment was at once ordered to report to Gen. Davidson, at Natchez, Miss., where it arrived on the 19th. On the 4th of March it was ordered to report to Gen. Grierson, at New Orleans, and on the 8th it encamped at Carrollton. On the 5th of April the regiment was ordered to Mobile, Ala., but only a portion of the command arrived in time to partici- pate in the taking of Fort Blakely and Spanish Fort. Thence the regiment marched to Eufala, Ala., where information of the practical ending of the war was received.
On the 16th of June the detachment of the regi- ment were united at Vicksburg, and on the 30th a portion of the one year mien were mustered out. The balance were engaged in provost duty at various points till the Ist of November, when they were mustered out at Vicksburg.
The regiment had part in the following actions :
Fairfax, Va., Oct. 17, 1863; Inka. Miss., Dec. 4, 1803; Jackson, Tenn., Dec. Bu, 1863; near Moscow, Tenn., Feb. 15. 1864 ; Aberdeen, Miss., Feb. 19, Ist 4 : West Point, Miss, Feb. 20 and 21, 1864; Okolona, Mi -<. , Feb. 22, 1864 ; Ivy Farm, Miss,, Feb 22, 1s04; Tallahatchee River, Miss., Feb. 23, 1:64 ; Raleigh, Tenn .
