NOTES. —Organized at Burlington, leaving the State June 24, 1861. The Second rendered important service on many battle fields, though with comparatively small casualty lists, until May 3, 1863, when it was hotly engaged at the storming of Marye's Heights, and in the covering of the retreat on the next day f at Banks's Ford. The brigade was then in Howe's Division, Sixth Corps; the losses of the regiment in the two days'actions were 17 killed and 116 wounded At the Wilderness it lost 49 killed, 285 wounded, and 14 missing, a total of 348 out of about 700 men engaged. In this battle Colonel Stone fell dead from his horse, and Lieutenant-Colonel Tyler, who succeeded him, received a mortal wound. The next week, the regiment fought at Spotsylvania, with a loss of 27 killed, 80 wounded, and 16 missing; total, 123. The Second participated in all the battles of the Sixth Corps, serving from first to last in the Second Brigade of the Second Division. It was engaged in the final battles about Petersburg; and, at Sailor's Creek, while skirmishing with the rear guard of the retreating enemy, the men of the Second fired the last shots of the Sixth Corps; though a matter of chance, the honor could not have been better awarded. _04272
