THE SECOND BRIGADE .- Camden County was also strongly represented in the Second New Jersey Brigade of three years' troops, which was composed of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Regiments. Companies D, E, G, I and K, of the Sixth, were raised in Camden County, and the regiment was mustered into the United States service at Camp Olden, Trenton, August 19, 1861. The Sixth left the State on September 10th, with thirty-eight commissioned officers and eight hundred and sixty non-commissioned officers and privates. At Washington it went into camp at Meridian Hill, and in De- cember the four regiments reported to Gen- eral Hooker, at Budd's Ferry, Maryland, when they were brigaded as the Third Bri- gade, Hooker's division ; afterwards as the Third Brigade, Second Division, Third Corps ; then as the First Brigade, Fourth Division, Second Corps ; and lastly as the Third Brigade, Third Division, Second Corps.
At Williamsburg, Virginia, May 5, 1862, it was in the thickest of the battle, losing over five hundred men, among whom was Lieutenant-Colonel Jolin P. Van Leer, of the Sixth, a citizen of Camden, and thirty-eight
killed and seventy-eight wounded, of the same regiment. On June 1st, at Turner's Farm, General Hooker placed himself at the head of the Fifth and Sixth Regiments and " charged straight into and through the woods, breaking the rebel lines and driving the enemy in great confusion for a consider- able distance, recovering all the ground lost by Casey's division and ending the fight for the day on that part of the line."
The other battles of the Peninsular Cam- paign in which the Sixth took part were Fair Oaks, June 25th; Glendale, June 30th ; and Malvern Hill, July 1st and August 20th. In this campaign the Second New Jersey Brigade had six hundred and thirty-four of- ficers and men killed and wounded out of its total strength of twenty-seven hundred. From the swamps it was moved to reinforce Pope, and bore the brunt of the engagement at Bristow Station, on July 27th, and was an active participant in the fighting of the four succeeding days at Bull Run and Chantilly. In this series of disastrous battles that eclipsed Pope's military fame its ranks were depleted to the extent of two hundred and forty-eight killed, wounded and missing, the Sixth's share being one hundred and four, or more than double that of any other of the four regiments. The report of Lieutenant- Colonel George C. Burling, commanding the Sixth, says, ---
" Wednesday morning, August 27th, marched in the direction of Manassas, and when near Bris- tow's Station found the enemy in force. In a short time we met the pickets and drove them in. We were then ordered to take an advanced posi- tion on a hill to the right in front of us, which we gained without loss under a terrible fire of shell from the enemy. We were then ordered to relieve the Second New York, Eighth New Jersey and One Hundred and Fifteenth Pennsylvania Regi- ments, who were engaged on the right. Immedi- ately on reaching our new position, the enemy fled in great confusion, leaving their dead and wounded in great numbers on the field. We pur- sned them for two miles and encamped for the night. August 28th, pursned the enemy through

the day and encamped near Blackburn's Ford that night.
" August 29th, left camp at three o'clock, A. M., pursuing the enemy through Centreville, down the Warrington Road. Crossing Bull Run at ten A. M., we formed a line of battle and advanced, in the woods, to relieve one of General Sigel's regi- ments, where we found the enemy in force behind the embankment of an old railroad. After deliv- ering and receiving several volleys, we charged and drove them from their position, when they re- ceived reinforcements, and were compelled to fall back nearly fifty yards, which position we held until we were relieved by the Second Maryland Regiment. During this engagement Colonel G. Mott and Major S. R. Gilkyson, while gallantly encouraging their men, were wounded.
"August 30th, formed a line of battle about four o'clock, P. M., and were ordered to support batteries to the right and rear of the position we had held the day before. Through some misun- derstanding, my regiment being on the right, the other regiments composing the brigade were with- drawn without my knowledge, leaving me in a very critical position. The enemy making a charge upon the batteries in front, compelling them to fall back, I determined to resist their advance, when to my astonishment I found we were flanked right and left; I then ordered the regiment to fall back in the woods, which was done in order, and thus checked the advance of the enemy in front. At this time, finding the flanks of the enemy rapidly closing round us, the only safety for my command was to retreat. In trying to extricate ourselves from the critical position in which we were placed my command suffered severely. I was enabled to rally my regiment on a hill in close proximity to the battle-field, under the shell of the enemy, where we remained in line of battle until ordered by the ranking officer to fall back to Centreville, where we joined the brigade the following morn- ing."
Captains T. W. Baker and T. C. Moore are alluded to as displaying especial gal- lantry.
At Chancellorsville, on May 3, 1863, Gen- : eral Mott having been wounded, General William J. Sewell 1 took command of the brigade and distinguished himself by taking it into a charge which a correspondent of the
