On August 24th the brigade landed at Al- exandria, McClellan having abandoned the Peninsula and transferred his army by water to the Potomac. Three days afterward it was pushed forward to Bull Run Bridge and the old battle-field. The First Regiment had three hundred men fit for duty ; the Second, two hundred and fifty; the Third, three hun- dred and seventy-five ; and the Fourth, sev- enty-five. On this day, the 27th, the open- ing of Pope's battle of Bull Run, it fought for several hours a much superior force of Stonewall Jackson's corps, losing nine killed and three hundred and ten wounded, missing and prisoners. Colonel Taylor was severely wounded, and died on September 1st. Com- pelled to relinquish the field, the brigade re-

tired to Cloud's Mills, but in a week was on the march again with McClellan's pursuit of Lee into Maryland, Colonel A. T. A. Torbert having succeeded Taylor in command. On September 14th it won the battle of Cramp- ton's Gap by a splendid charge up the side of a steep acclivity, capturing enough Spring- field rifles to arm the Fourth Regiment, which had been equipped with smooth bores. This regiment, which had lost its colors at Gaines' Mill, captured two stands of rebel colors at Crampton's Gap. At the battle of Antietam, on the 11th, it relieved Sumner's corps at midnight and was not actually en- gaged, although it was for six hours exposed to a hot artillery fire. At Fredericksburg, December 13th and 14th, it saw hard fight- ing on the left of the line, and Colonel Wil- liam B. Hatch was fatally wounded in lead- ing the Fourth Regiment to an assault. Pre- vious to this the Fifteenth and Twenty- fourth Regiments had been added to the brigade and it had been placed in the Sixth Corps. At Chancellorsville, on May 3, 1863, it was for two hours and a half engaged with Longstreet's veterans near Salem Church, and the casualties footed up five hundred and eleven men killed, wounded and missing.


In the battle of Gettysburg it embraced the First, Second, Third and Fifteenth Regi- ments and Hexamer's battery, the Fourth Regiment being on provost duty at Wash- ington. It was on the picket line during the decisive fighting of July 3d, and on the 5th joined in the pursuit of Lee.


While Grant was marshaling the army for the grand advance, the Tenth New Jersey Regiment was assigned to the brigade. Com- pany A, Captain Isaac W. Mickle ; Company E, Captain George W. Scott; Company H, Captain John R. Cunningham, and Company I, Captain John Coates, were recruited in Camden. The brigade had three days of fighting in the Wilderness during the first week of May, 1864, and on the 10th took part in the celebrated charge on the Confed-


erate works near Spottsylvania, in which a thousand prisoners and several guns were captured. On the 12th it was in the furious assault of that day and the subsequent struggle over the rebel entrenchments, "the intense fury, heroism and horror of which," Edward A. Pollard wrote, “it is impossible to de- scribe." This was the awful and stubborn contest in " the bloody angle," and no com- mand suffered a heavier loss than did the five Jersey regiments. They were driven from and retook the Galt House on the 14th, and until the 18th were participants in skirmishes along the North Anna and Tolo- potomy Rivers. At Cold Harbor, June 1st to 3d, they were constantly under fire. The terms of service of the First and Third Regiments had expired on May 23d, but they remained at the front to take part in the battle of Cold Harbor. They reached Tren- tou on June 7th, and were mustered out on June 23d. Of the two thousand and sixty- eight officers and enlisted men who had left the State capital on June 28, 1861, only three hundred and forty returned for muster out, of whom one hundred and thirty-nine be- longed to the First and two hundred and one to the Third Regiment. The Fourth, with the exception of the men who had re-enlisted, returned from the front August 19, 1864, and was mustered out on the next day ; it came back with four hundred and twenty- four privates and officers, while it had taken one thousand and thirty-four to the field three years before. The re-enlisted men of the First and Third, which ceased to exist as or- ganizations, were at first transferred to the Fourth and Fifteenth, but were subsequently consolidated into the First, Second and Third Battalions, and, with the Fourth, Tenth and Fifteenth Regiments from that time until February, 1865, constituted the First Brigade. The Fourth thus kept up its organization through its re-enlisted men, and thus has an unbroken history until the termi- nation of the war ..

HISTORY OF CAMDEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.


In July, 1864, the brigade was sent with the Sixth Corps to check Early in the Shen- andoah Valley, and on August 17th delayed his advance for six hours at Winchester. On September 19th it was in the direct assault upon the rebel front at Opequan, and was gallantly instrumental in sending the enemy " whirling up the valley." On the 22d, at Fisher's Hill, it repeated its achievement, and at the battle of Cedar Creek, on October 19th, it formed on the left of the line and fought steadily to maintain its ground, but was finally overwhelmed and forced to retire. When Sheridan, however, arrived upon the scene and turned defeat into victory it re- formed and did its duty in the charge that repulsed Early and ended the war in the valley. On December 1st it, rejoined the Army of the Potomac ; April 2, 1865, it helped to take the Confederate entrenchments on the Boydton Plank-Road, in front of Petersburg, and it was close to Appomattox when Lee's surrender was made. Thence it was ordered to Danville, Va., and not until May 24tlı did it march through Richmond on its way northward. On June 2d it encamped five miles from Washington, where the regiments were mustered out. At Trenton they were dissolved, and this scarred and storied com- mand ceased to exist. -


The following is the roster of the original companies raised in Camden County that were assigned to the brigade :
