To see the poor fellows lying there, resting in clean beds, was worth beholding, and a sight calculated to warm the hardest heart.

Thursday, Sept. 3, 1863. -------------------------------------------------- An Appeal. There is something very touching in the letters we occasionally receive from the old New Jersey regiments in which the writers so often refer to the small numbers to which their respective commands have been reduced by battle, sickness, &c. Some of these regiments have dwindled to mere skeletons and none of them are in effective fighting condition as regiments. Something should be done to fill up these gallant organizations whose heroic deeds on a score of battlefields have made the name of New Jersey illustrious. For some reason, the recruiting for these regiments is not nearly so successful as for new regiments. We are much surprised at this. Surely there is something to be prized in the privilege of wearing the badge of the glorious old First or Eighth, which have carried their standards into every bloody field of the war, and whose achievements are inseparably interwoven with all that is heroic of the war. If these regiments dwindle much further, we do not see how their regimental organization is to be kept intact; and we fear they may be consolidated, some of them thus losing the splendid names they have so dearly won. This would be a burning shame, to be avoided by every possible means. If recruiting is to be continued in this state, the effort should be first of all to fill up the ranks of the old New Jersey regiments. Source: The Plainfield Union. Plainfield, N.J. Tuesday, September 8, 1863. -------------------------------------------------- Major A.J. Johnson, of the Invalid Corps, and late Colonel of the 8th N.J.V., is now in command of Camp Joe Holt, Jeffersonville, Ind., where he is engaged in organizing the corps. As soon as companies are completed they are sent off to duty. He says that he is very pleasantly situated, and is well liked by those about him. It is thought that he will either be promoted to a Lieut. Colonelcy, or his commission will be so dated back that he will be the ranking Major of the Corps; a position for which he is well qualified.

A Court Martial assembled on Friday and adjourned over to Monday, at Temperance Hall, in pursuance of orders from the War Department, to try such cases as might be brought before the court, in accordance with the order.

Brigade, with the army generally, left Bealton Station, and advanced eight miles to the Rapidan, and was in camp between Culpepper and the river, where Lee was in force. There had been skirmishing all along the line, and on Saturday heavy firing at the front. The Brigade was prepared to move at any moment. The country was very fine, and th boys were luxuriating in green corn, string beans, watermelons, &c., gathered from rebel farms. On the march they crossed two rivers, the Rappahannock and Hazel, with the water knee-deep at the fords and a swift current. The boys took off their shoes and stockings, rolled their pants and waded through. Capt. O.S. Johnson is acting Major of the 8th. Source: State Gazette. Trenton, N.J.
