 (This BioGRAPHic-vL Register comiirises the Etats de Service of all graduates from 
 the establishment of the ^Militarj' Academj% in 1802, to 1867, inclusive, giving their 
 promotions, stations, commands, war records, and civil services when they have left 
 the army ; a complete register of the officers of the institution, with their histories ; 
 a full list of the military posts of the United States, present and past ; an alphabetical 
 table of all battles, combats, sieges, actions, and skirmishes, in which graduates have

 My Deak General — I have received your ' ' Biographical Register of the Officers and 
 Graduates of the United States Military Academy," which you have done me the honor 
 to forward for my acceptance. The work ought to show to the enemies of the Military 
 Academy, that if they expect to harm the institution in the minds ot the American 
 peo^jle, they must keep from their view the services rendered to the countrj' by its 
 graduates. Your book will receive the fiivor of all graduates, except, perhaps, here- 
 after, from those who see recorded against them, "Joined in the Rebellion of 18G1-66, 
 against the United States.'' This ought to be odious. 
 
 With great respect, your obedient servant.

 Dear General — I have received your kind note of February 11th, -svitli the two vol- 
 umes of the Biographical Eegister of the Othcers and Graduates of the U. S. Military 
 Academy, for which I have waited long. I beheve I appreciate the vast amoimt of care 
 and labor you have bestowed on this work, and feel certain you will be well rewarded 
 for it in the thanks of the tens of thousands of families who will pore over these vol- 
 umes to find therein recorded the brief histories of their friends. I have read your 
 preface, and can hardly credit the fact that any intelligent man will now ciucstion the 
 use and necessity of a military education. Men who profess the law, medicine, ma- 
 chineiy, or the arts, must first acquire a professional education. How much more 
 neces.s"ary with us who hold in our hands the lives of so many people, and the honor 
 and good name of the country itself? 
 
 I also observe that j'ou meet an objection by some people in the early part of our civil 
 W'ar, when the minds of all were aroused, excited, and ajjt to run astray. None of us 
 contend that because we graduated at "West Point, we are the less intn, with all the 
 passions and weaknesses of other men, liable to err, and even to crime ; but the facts 
 and figures given by you are conclusive on this point, that in the great heaving cause 
 that shook our national fabric, a less proportion of our graduates were blinded and 
 misled than of Senators and llei^resentatives in Congress, of Judges of the Supreme 
 Court, or of the colleges located in the most rigidly patriotic spots of our country — 
 Yale and Harvard. 
 
 I do not think w-e claim that West Point can in four years accomplish miracles and 
 utterly remould the character of its pupils, but it has in the past and will make in the 
 future, men more useful in the details of life, more reliable and faithful to their trusts, 
 whether private or public, and more national in their attributes and aspirations, than 
 any other system of education hitherto tried ; and these results are cheaply attained 
 by our national Military Academy. 
 
 While there is such unlimited freedom to the expression of public opinion as in our 
 country, we must expect the widest criticism and the wildest views ; but my observa- 
 tion convinces me that at no former period of our history was the Academy more firmly 
 rooted in the respect and good opinion of our people than now, and I have no fears 
 but that it will always receive, the generous and fostering care of the Government. 
 
 In the course of TOiy service I have been thrown most intimately with volunteer 
 officers who had not received the advantage of the West Point course ; but all, without 
 exception, regretted that they had not enjoyed, in early life, the minute and systematic 
 instruction in the elements of the militarj' profession, which they realized were better 
 taught at West Point than at any other institution of our country. 
 
 Instead of learning the same things with the aid of books, they had to learn them in 
 camp, sometimes at the expense of valuable lives. 
 
 Knowing the intense interest you take in this subject, I assure you of my ardent 
 sympathy and best wishes for your entire success. 
 
 With great respect, 
 
 W. T. Sherman, Lleuienani- General.

 My Dear General — I yesterday received, per Adams' Express, the copy of the 
 Register of the Officers and Graduates of the U. S. Military Academy, which you were 
 so kind as to send me, for which I bog voti to accept my sincere thanks. 
 
 Aside from its value to the graduates of the Military Academy, as containing a con- 
 densed and reliable summary of their military and civil history after graduating, it 
 must be a source of just pride to them to see there recorded indisputable evidence of 
 as much loyalty among the alumni of our Alma Mater as can be met with among any 
 other class of American citizens. 
 
 I veiature unhesitatingly to say, also, that no other institution of learning in the 
 country has contributed more to the advancement of science and literature than the 
 Military Academy at West Point. 
 
 I am, very truly yours, 
 
 Geo. H. Thomas, Mnjor-Oeneral U. S. A.

 F)-om a distinguished Officer of Volunteers. 
 
 My Dear General — In acknowledging a copy of your Register to-day received, I 
 take the liberty to say how much curious instruction and pleasure I have found in a 
 cursory examination of its most laborious details. I am reminded of the expressive, 
 stern silence of tlie vacant place on the wall, once occupied by the picture of Marino 
 Faliero among the Doges of Venice, when I look at your short final record of such 
 graduates as Jctferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. It seems to me very felicitous to 
 leave them and all their barren honors without a word of mention, when they severed 
 their connection with an institution which has been the splendid mnae- praisidium et 
 decifs— of National Life and Loyalty. It is grand. 
 
 Your preface meets my warm sympathy. As a volunteer it was my lot to serve 
 under, with, and over graihiates of West Point. I felt the great delicacy of command- 
 ing men bred to " le metier des armes" without offending their self-love or my own. 
 And it is a pleasant memory to me that my warmest friendships were with regulars, 
 graduates chiefly ; and I have often said that I was, in every duty, perfectly sure of the 
 true, loyal, and whole-souled service of those men who knew so much better than mj'- 
 self whether my orders were correct enough to justify the readj'' and energetic support 
 which, in every instance of my exi^erience in service, I received. My gratitude to these 
 gallant men is glad to find even this private exj^ressiou. I honored and felt for them ; 
 and my grateful esteem for them all — those who taught mc much and those who deli- 
 cately concealed how much they could teach me, that I ought in my position to know — 
 has left me with a most fraternal love for many individuals, and the highest regard and 
 respect for the Military Academy as a faithful, essential bulwark of our safety. 
 
 Fi'om a Graduate of Harvard College. 
 
 General — .... Although a stranger, permit me to express the obhgations which 
 every citizen should feel for this most valuable and important contribution to the history 
 of the nation ; and its j^reparation must have involved a mitch greater amount of labor 
 than j'OU even are willing to allow. 
 
 The defence of West Point in your introduction will be of great value, and yet it is 
 rather melancholy to think that any word of defence is needed, when the whole country, 
 and even our heavens, are covered with monuments of its scientific attainments and 
 achievements, and while the paths of the dead are but too thickly strewed with those 
 other sad monuments which speak of patriotism, heroism, and faithful endeavor. 
 
 But your pages have a record of the living, which must endear the Academy to the 
 hearts and understanding of all this generation — if we except ambitious declaimers and 
 political demagogues ; and for the service which yovi have done to the body politic, you 
 will excuse me if I take the liberty of thus expressing my grateful acknowledgments. 
 
 From the Xorth American Beview. 
 
 General Cullum has finally published his long-expected Revised Register of West 
 Point Graduates. It is a book indispensable to every one who studies the military 
 history or establishment of the Republic; but its keenest interest is for those who are its 
 subject. It gives concisely, but fully and accurately, the leading events in the life of 
 each graduate, from the opening of the Academy to the reorganization of the army, in 
 1S6G; and the simple record of efforts, triumphs, and tragedies is the more affecting to 
 the survivors from the close ties with which the Academy has bound together the Reg- 
 ular Army. An esprit de corps, unknown to any other college in the country, is created 
 liy the very nature and regulations of the institution. Cadets just emerging from boy- 
 hood are separated from their homes and from the world for four years. For amends, 
 the}' are bound together by constant intercourse and a systematic emulation in studies, 
 arts, exercises, and amusements. They are in constant and familiar association with 
 localities and scenes famous in Cadet tradition for the deeds of their predecessors, to 
 which their own exploits are to be added, — both forming through their lives an 
 exhaustlcss theme for the night watches in the steaming jungles of the Everglades or 
 the icy mountains of Oregon. And to whatever post an officer may go, he will be 
 welcomed by those who know him intimately, at least by reputation, and with whom 
 he has a thousand common interests. Isola-tion magnifies trifles ; and in the little 
 absolute despotism of West Point, party spirit runs high, and for ten years before the 
 
 3
 
 war, the Cadets took sides in their violent political disputes, almost io a man, as they 
 were afterwards divided, iu life or in death, on the hard-fought battle-iields of the great 
 Rebelliou ; and as then, after the dispute, Cadets would (]uietly fall in and march to 
 mess to discuss over their hash the performance of their horses at cavalry drill, so, 
 during the war. on our side at least, after the prisoners were brought in. it was no rare 
 sight to find a Rebel as much at home in the camp of some former room-mate or com- 
 rade, as though for the time every jmnciple of the "little unpleasantness" was for- 
 gotten, and the dingy Eebel graj' was transformed, and represented to their eyes 
 nothing but the old spruce uniform, more familiar to them both than any other. 
 
 This freemasonry seems an obnoxious exclusi\eness to some unreasonable oi:>ponents 
 who ignore its advantages. It is probably one of the causes of the violent and unjust 
 attacks to which the Academj' is so often subject. The Preface of General CuUum's 
 Register gives and suggests facts which should disarm such a.s.sailants, and which are 
 invaluable for the defence made by its friends, and for candid inquirers after the 
 truth. 
 
 In the first j'ears of the late war, many undeserved reproaches were thrown out 
 against the Academy for failing to accomplish impossibilities, and the country seemed 
 ignorant of the familiar principle, of which General Cullum here reminds us, that for 
 great commanders, ability, knowledge, and experience — all three— are essential. In 
 1861 there was no military experience in the coimtry at all proportioned to the neces- 
 sary scale of operations ; there was, no doubt, more military abilitj' among the men 
 whose tastes had impelled them to seek West Point, than among the same number in 
 civil life ; and military knowledge was confined to the Regular Army and to the grad- 
 uates. Under these circumstances, it would seem to have been clear where our leaders 
 should have been sought exclusively at the outset. The assembled wisdom of the 
 nation thought differently, and it is an instructive study to compare the places held by 
 political generals in the Union Army early in the war with the results they had accom- 
 plished at its close. General Cullum, with the modesty of a veteran, does not refer to 
 this ; but the Army Register for 186G shows, that, of the seventeen general officers of 
 the Regular Army at the end of the war. all but one were graduates of West Point; and 
 without detracting from General Terry's glory, it is just to say that his promotion was 
 rather due. to the enthusiasm for one valuable victory than for well-established general- 
 ship, and that this victory was of the straightforward sort that depends more on the 
 bodj' of troops than on their head. 
 
 But war, if an expensive, is also a thorough school, and the knowledge and experi- 
 ence gained in the Rebellion were so great in proportion, that they were i-apidly 
 destroying the advantage in these respects before held by regularly educated soldiers ; 
 and by the end of the war, leaders, whether Volunteer or Regulai', were fast falling into 
 the places their aVnlity entitled them to. 
 
 It is true manj' West Point commanders failed, even where this was not due to their 
 supporters or to circumstances. This is only allowing that all did not possess the 
 three requisites that have been mentioned. But it must be remembered that the Con- 
 federacy advanced its We.st Point graduates much more systematically than we did, 
 and that many a defeat for the Union was still a success, though on the wrong side, for 
 West Point. 
 
 This leads us to speak of the loyalty of West Point graduates. It is a common 
 notion that they were under peculiar obligations to the United States Government. 
 This mistake is well exposed by General Cullum, who argues unanswerably that they 
 were educated by the country for its benefit, and not for their own ; and that the event 
 has proved the economy of the Academy, even in dollars and cents. This is clear from 
 a view which the author only hints at. Every Cadet is enlisted to serve four j'ears 
 after graduating. In these four years, most of them — all those iu staff corps— have 
 responsibilities and perform duties that in commercial life would command pay enough 
 higher than they receive to amply compensate for the cost of their education. It is 
 difficult to see that the crime of a Southern graduate, in rebelling, is any greater than 
 that of any other government official. 
 
 But arc we not assuming a little too much in taking the disloyalty of West Point for 
 granted? One of the saddest experiences of the war was the observation of the deep- 
 seated, firm conviction in the minds of many of the most high-minded, religious 
 Southern men and women, and growing from their first consciousness in the minds of 
 their children, that their cause was a righteous one, and that they were resisting an 
 unholy war of invasion ; one of the plcasantcst sights in a general view, but without 
 much comfort for our side, immediate or future, was that of the active, cordial sympa- 
 thy of the Southern women with the men, even more general and efficient than with 
 us. The question was not brought home to us, and it is hard fur us to form an idea of 
 the strength and suffering required for a kindly, right-minded man to give up the 
 dearest ties of earth for a point of abstract morality enveloped in a thick cloud of casu- 
 istry, and to become a reproach and an outcast iu the laud of his fathers. If those who 
 
 4
 
 failed iu this test deserve censure, certainly those who stood it deserve no common 
 praise, and in reference to these. General Cnllum gives us facts and figures oi which 
 West Point may well be proud. He says : 
 
 '•It is unfortunately true that many forgot the flag under which they were educated, 
 to follow false gods. But who were the leaders of this treason, but the honoi-ed and 
 trusted iu the laud, filling, or who had filled, the highest places in the government, — 
 Senators, Representatives, Members of the Cabinet, Foreign Ministers, Judges of 
 United States Courts, and even those who had been elected by the people to fill the 
 highest offices in their gift? Was it then a gi-eater crime for graduates of our national 
 Academy to forsake their country than for the highest officials in every branch of the 
 government, executive, legislative, and judicial, who, from the seceding States, almost 
 to a man, joined the llebel standard ? 
 
 ••But let us examine this llebellion Record a little more closely. In the executive 
 department toxxr ))residents were living when secession began. Of these, the only South- 
 erner joined the Rebels ; another did the country more harm than an avowed enemy ; 
 while the others, certainly, were not over-demonstrative in their efforts to preserve the 
 Union. Belonging to the bench of the Supreme Court there were four Southern Judges, 
 of whom two remained loj'al, one was strongly sympathetic with the South, and one 
 joined the Rebels. The Southern Judges of the United States District Courts sided 
 with their own | eople. Of the Senators in Congress from the seceding States, but one, 
 and of the House of Representatives, but Uiree, remained loyal. Nearly all the agents of 
 the State, Treasurj', Interior, and Post-Office Departments, residing in or from the 
 
 seceding States, espoused the Rebel cause Of those appointed in the army 
 
 from civil life, nearly one half, while but a little over one fifth of the West Point officers 
 
 left the service and joined in the Rebellion 
 
 "The statistics show that the West Point part of the army has been by far the most 
 loyal branch of the public service ; that nearly four fifths of its graduate officers 
 remained faithful ; that one half of those from the South stood firm by the stars and 
 stripes ; and in the battles for the Union, that one fifth of those engaged laid down their 
 lives, more than one third, and probably one half, were wounded, and the survivors can 
 point with manly pride to their services here recorded for the preservation of the 
 nation."' 
 
 With these facts stated, the Academy needs no eulogy, and can securely rest her 
 honor on her loyal children, and her efficiency on her turbulent children as well. 
 
 The book in respect to taste and execution is admirable. It does not stoop to pre- 
 serve the fame of misdirected valor, and the only notice of the most eminent Rebels 
 after leaving our service, as though when they lost their honor they had lost their lives 
 with it, is, that they "joined in the Rebellion of 1861-66, against the United States," 
 with the date and place of their death, when known. The labor of compilation and 
 correction was immense ; the arrangement is singularly convenient, system^atic, and 
 happy ; and the result is a new honor in peace to its author, already so distinguished 
 in war, and a new illustration of the claims of the institution he defends. 
 
 From the Xew York Herald. 
 
 "After many years of persevering toil," says the author, "I present to my brother 
 graduates of the Military Academy, this record of their services, honorable to them- 
 selves, giving world renown to their Alma Mater, and claiming for their country a place 
 in the first rank of military nations." 
 
 This work will not be considered by the public iu the light in which its author mod- 
 estly regards it, as having its chief interest in the circle of the graduates from the Mili- 
 tary Academy. It is a contribution to the history of the country, and just now will be 
 more especially regarded as a contribution to the history of the war. It is hardly po.s- 
 sible to over estimate its value in this regard. It contains, well digested in cyclopnsdic 
 form, a vast amount of information of a kind always difficult to obtain, inasmuch as it 
 is in so great a degree personal. It comprises in its two volumes of over six hundred 
 pages each, "The Etats de Service" of all graduates from the establishment of the 
 Military Academy, in 1802, to the present time ; a complete register of the officers of the 
 institution, vrith their histories ; a full list of the military posts of the United States, 
 present and past ; an alphabetical table of all battles, combats, actions, &c., in which 
 graduates have_ participated ; besides much other useful and statistical information. 
 
 And these "Etats de Service," 2,500 in number, though not biographies in the tn-di- 
 nary sense of the term, nevertheless contain the prominent facts of each individual's 
 military or public life. They are the protracted creations of a lifetime, and do not 
 come iu the category of the numerous easily-written narrations and so-called histories 
 
 5
 
 of the eveuts of ouv great civil war. with which the press teems, and, moreover, they 
 demaud habits of miud, intellectual qualitications, and tastes which are rarely com- 
 bined. 
 
 When, however, such a work does at rare intervals appear, it at once becomes a 
 nece.'^sity. No historian can vrrite, no student can read or .study his countrj^'s history 
 without'it, while to libraries, public and private, it becomes a sine qua 7ion. Nor would 
 any one who has become acquainted with the character of this work and feels interest 
 in the civil or military career of any one of the Academy's graduates, or would have a 
 remembrance of the events of our various struggles with foreign powers or of those of 
 that momentous one for our national existence, willingly be without these volumes. 
 
 The preface to the work sets forth in brief the importance of military education. It 
 seems strange that it could be necessary to argue such a point, that we could expect 
 individuals or nations to excel in the most difficult of all arts without the study and 
 practice which evei'y other art, or science, or calling demands for its perfect exercise. 
 
 Yet we cannot ignore the fact that there are those who depreciate military education, 
 and by the phrase "heaven-born generals." would understand men who, from the bar 
 or the plough, pass at once to the successful command of armies. Such anomalies are 
 never presented. Cromwell, indeed, had little education of any kind when he entered 
 public life, but it required years of the stern teachings of actual warfare to make him 
 the great soldier he became. Great soldier as he was, he became yet greater as a states- 
 man, and that, too, in the same school of actual practice in the art of statesmanship. 
 The arguments against education would in his case be as strong, therefore, as applied 
 to its use for making statesmen, as soldiers. 
 
 llany, however, admit the necessity of military education while denouncing the Mil- 
 itary Academj' as a means to that end. 
 
 Against the aspersions of such it is the feature of General Cullum's work that it fur- 
 nishes so rich materials for its vindication. To showing how the Academy has been 
 not only the means of giving us an accomplished body of officers for our army, but also 
 of raising the staudai-d of scientific education in all the colleges of the land, and of 
 stimulating the development of works of civil engineering and internal improvements, 
 by furnishing the country with able civil engineei'S, a portion of the preface is devoted ; 
 and we think his statements, founded as they are upon the carefully collected facts 
 which the book records, must be convincing to all who are not prejudiced beyond the 
 power of truth to convince. 
 
 The author is not less earnest and full in dealing with charges of "disloyalty." He 
 proves that the most loyal branch of the public service, when looked at as a whole, was 
 that mainly constituted by the Academy and its graduates. 
 
 In the brief space we can devote to the subject, we can but indicate its main features, 
 and express our conviction of the conscieutiou.s hdeiity with which the author has elab- 
 orated his work, and of the peculiar value of that work to the country, which should be 
 the more grateful to the author, since gratitude must be taken by him in part payment, 
 for the sale of such books seems uecessaril}' restricted. 
 
 From the Boston Walchman a)id Reflector. 
 
 These two volumes of thirteen hundred pages are a monument of General Cullum's 
 reverence for his Alma Mater, and of the patient industry with which he has ransacked 
 archives, examined tons of manuscripts, and written thousands of letters to collect and 
 condense the summaries of the services of the graduates of the Military Academy. The 
 work contains the " Statistics relating to the Graduates ;" a record of the "Battles and 
 Combats fought by the United States Armies since the establishment of the Academj' ;" 
 a list of the "Forts, Arsenals, and Military Posts of the United States ;" a "Register of 
 the Officers of the Academy," of their "Services and Promotions," and a "FiCgister of 
 the Graduates" from its establishment until 18G7. The accuracy and comjileteuess of 
 the work will render it serviceable to the historian, while its brief but frequent narration 
 of services will serve to correct the prejudice against the Academy which so strangely 
 exists. While one half of the officers appointed in the army from civil life joined the 
 rebellion, but a little over one fiiith of the West Point graduates deserted their flag to 
 serve in the ranks of secession. 0)io half of the officers appointed from the South 
 adhered to the Union ; one tilth of all those graduates engaged in the war laid down 
 their lives, one half were wounded, and the survivors may answer hostile criticism of 
 their Alma Mater by pointing with manly pride to the services recorded in these vol- 
 umes. General Cullum says that " the entire cost of educating the whole of the seced- 
 ing graduates, in money, was not more than was saved by the military knowledge of its 
 (West Point's) loyal graduates on every day of the rebellion."

 The Beeches, ilonday, March 9, 1868. 
 
 I shonld do injustice to my own sense of its value, and to the extraordinary pains 
 General CuUuni has taken in its preparation, if I did not notice, in what terms of favor 
 I could, the Biographical Register of the Otficers and Graduates of the United Stales 
 Military Academy. In my opinion, no more valuable material for history exists in this 
 country. The triennial catalogues of our colleges utterly fail in that for which they 
 might be made of incalculable value. This is in showing what the graduates of colleges 
 have done. They do show when a graduate has become a clergyman, and when one 
 got an A. M., D. D., or LL. D. ; but this shows verj' little of what they really are, and 
 nothing of what they have done. Men get D. D. 's and LL. D. 's often when they have 
 done verj' little to deserve them. An LL. D., in its true sense, is a distinction for 
 great learning, but when our colleges give such a degi-ee to a man for fighting battles. 
 it is just as if West Point conferred D. D.'s for the same thing. Even the universities 
 of England have got to giving learned titles just as the German princes confer the title 
 of Baron, market ouuerl. For this reason the catalogues of colleges, like the West Point 
 Register, should tell what the gi-aduates have done, what they have lived tor, what they 
 have shown to justifj' a liberal education. 
 
 In this respect, Gen. Cullum's Register of West Point is invaluable. If any one has 
 got anything to say against West Point, let him take up that Register, and say it, but 
 say it with this roll oif hard work, of honorable service, and of great performance before 
 him. J. undertake to say that, taking the average of their years and opportunities into 
 view, the 2.200 graduates of West Point have done more solid work than anj- equal 
 number of any profession. 
 
 Some persons may fiay that the work for which they are educated is an evil work ; 
 that war is an enormous evil. Grant it ; but military men do not make war. Wars are 
 made by merchants and politicians. The East India Company (a company of mer- 
 chants ) made more wars and caused more bloodshed than any ecpial number of officers 
 and soldiers on the face of the earth. And more than half of modem wars have been 
 caused by what is called aggression on commerce. And even the professed ministers 
 of the church, the brilliant priests who figured as the statesmen of the middle ages, and 
 of Bourbons and Stuarts, made more wars than any generals of the army. War is not 
 the desire, but to conduct war is the business of educated soldiers. As long as avarice 
 •md ambition make war a business among mankind, there must be men educated to it. 
 That needs no argument. 
 
 A graver charge has been made against West Point, that it is immoral and irreligious. 
 The latest edition of this charge is in a letter, professedly from some unfledged cadet to 
 a paper in Chicago, and subsequently quoted in Congi-ess. Now, suppose this was actu- 
 ally true, is it not equally true of eveiy college in the land? It is a high compliment to 
 "West Point to expect its young men to be perfect when it is not expected of any college 
 in the country. I undertake to say, without fear of contradiction, that there is more 
 restraint and less temptation to dissipation at West Point than there is at Harvai-d, 
 Yale, or Princeton. What restraint is there at Harvard or Yale to prevent dissipation 
 or immorality among young men to any extent? Would it be difficult to find Harvard 
 students in gross dissipation ? Would it be difficult to find Yale students where the 
 laws of the college forbid them to go? Ou the other hand, it is barely possible for the 
 cadets at West Point to escape at night and engage in some immorality. This is pos- 
 sible, but it is not common and it is not easy. The whole establishment and grounds 
 belong to the Government ; the discipline is strict and most rigidly enforced, and the 
 outward temptations small. The jiublic services of religion are properly attended to, 
 and there is a cadet's prayer meeting once a week for those who are religiously inclined. 
 The chaplain stands to West Point in the same relation that the Professor of Moral 
 Philosophy and Ethics does to tlie colleges. He could do something more if he was 
 entirely relieved (as he ought to be) from the duties of a professorship. I knew a chap- 
 lain at West Point to do something I have not seen the professors in colleges do. The 
 corps of cadets were drawn up at sunrise each morning of the spring, in a hollow 
 square, and in the centre of that square the pious and amiable chaplain knelt down on 
 the yet wet grass and offered up wor.sh:p and service to the living God. I am not 
 aware that the chaplains of colleges do much better than that. But thei-e is in some 
 things an air of religion about colleges not seen at West Point. Why? Mainly because 
 a large number of young men go to colleges for the express purpose of being educated 
 for the ministry; and, of course, there are a large number there who are more rigid 
 and earnest in religious duties. 
 
 One great wrong has crept into West Point, which is in imitation of college practices, 
 called hazing. I am told it is nearly done away with. Any institution will lose by 
 permitting that practice. For the older cadets or students to imjjose upon the young 
 
 7
 
 and inexperienced, is mean and dishonorable. It is contraiy to the whole spirit of 
 chivalry, which aims to be jnst, generous, and magnanimous. The weak and innocent 
 are the objects of its care, and to persecute them is alike cruel and dishonorable. 
 
 I intended only to notice the Register ; but I can only state some general focts. The 
 first cadet, Joseph G. Swift, was graduated in 1802, and after being engaged in various 
 services, civil and military, died in 1865, at the age of 82. The whole number of grad- 
 uates, from 1802 to 1867, inclusive, was 2,218. In that sixtj'-five years this country had 
 but nine years of real war, and in those nine years 183 were killed in battle. I think 
 that will be thought a large proportion. But it is not half the deaths caused by these 
 wars, for there is the long list of those who died of disease or wounds caused by those 
 campaigns. Let us take one class as an exami^le. The class of 1841 had fifty-two 
 graduates. Of these twentj^-five are dead. Fourteen were killed in battle and ten died 
 in service. Forty-three —more than four fifths — were engaged in battles. The first one 
 on the class list was engaged in thirteen important battles ; the next in twelve ; the 
 fifth, ha^^ng served at Bull Run and Chancellorsville, died of wounds ; the tenth was 
 killed at the battle of Molino del Rey ; the eleventh (Lyon) was killed at the battle of 
 Wilson's Creek ; the twelfth was killed near Cherubusco, Mexico ; the thirteenth died 
 at Vera Cruz ; the sixteenth was kiUed at the battle of Stone River ; the twenty-second 
 died near Corinth, Miss., in the army pursuing Beauregard ; the twentj'-third (Brannan) 
 was engaged in fifteen battles ; the twent^'^-sixth (Reynolds) was killed at Gettj'sburg ; 
 the thirty-third died of wounds received at Molino del Rey ; the thirty-eighth died of 
 wounds received at Sharpsburg ; the thirty-ninth was kille4 i^t Spottsylvania ; the forty- 
 eighth was killed at Chepultepec ; the fiftieth died of wounds at Mexico ; the fifty- 
 second died of wounds at Mexico. This class had sixteen generals, of whom Lyon, 
 Reynolds, Wright, Tower, and Brannan were a part ; two were killed in the rebel ser- 
 vice—the Garnetts. 
 
 I have taken this class as an example, to show both what services were rendered by 
 the graduates of West Point, and what admirable materials for history are here. No 
 man can write history of any value without a most exact reference to events and dates ; 
 nor can the history of the United States, in the last sixty years, be written well without 
 consulting very closely the records of West Point. 
 
 History is the record of what is done, and not the babbling of orators, or the verbiage 
 of literature. I say, therefore, the Register of West Point, prepared by General CuUum, 
 is a most invaluable memoir for historj'. It ought to have been a government work. 
 But our government is a curious affair in some of its workings. Look at the enormous 
 sums it spends to pay Gales & Seaton for various sorts of works ; look at the thousands 
 it has paid for biographies of Senators, for books, and this, that, and the other thing — 
 none of which had the tenth part of the value of this register. But let that pass. 
 Human justice is the frailest of virtues. It always follows in the wake of human sel- 
 fishness, and if you have not the arts of flattery and importunity, in vain will you 
 appeal to government for an iota of justice or a particle of consideration. 
 
 I hope at some time to give some brief notice of men whom I have known in my 
 time, and whom these pages partly commemorate. They are to me pages of memories 
 — sad, almost painful to look upon ; yet, of such is our life composed, and, as time goes 
 on, this volume of memory grows larger and sadder.

 I^vm the Army and Navy Journal. 
 
 For the last six years, in the press, on the platform, in Congress, all possible changes 
 have been rung on what is called the "disloyalty" of the Military Academy at West 
 Point. This charge, utterly groundless, thoroughly ungrateful, and base in its ingrati- 
 tude, was connected, of course, with the very natural fact that the best generals of the 
 South {like the best generals of the North) received their military education at the 
 national school of arms. As often as repeated, so often the slander has been repelled 
 with indignant vehemence. And yet, with such persistency is the venomous charge 
 reitei-ated, that, we presume, half the people in the North, even among the friends and 
 admirers of the Academy, naturally conjecture that there is something in it. As for 
 the accusation itself, it has been partly urged in malice, partly by jealousy, but chiefly, 
 let us hope, through complete ignorance of the facts. 
 
 Thanks to General Cullum (whose admirable "Biographical Register," a ten-years' 
 labor, is such a monument of industi-y, fidelity, knowledge, and skill, as can only be 
 found among those literary products where the love of the work overtops any possible 
 reward the result can furnish), wo have now the exact facts and figures to refute the 
 libel upon our national school, and we trust that, in justice, we shall never again, not 
 even when the annual approjjriation is to be made in Congress, hear of the "disloyalty' 
 of West Point. We will first present the figures, and then some brief comments. 
 
 8
 
 From this careful and elaborate work it appears that, at the outbreak of the Rebellion, 
 1,245 graduates of the Academy were supposed to be living, 820 being still in the Army, 
 and 425 in civil life. 0{ the 820 in the Ai-my, only 184, or ouli/ about a fifth, joined in 
 the Rebellion, while f)2(), or nearly four fifths, remained true to the Union-^10 taking 
 neither side. Of the 425 in the civil life, but !)',), or less than one fourth, were known 
 to have joined the Rebels, whihi 280, or nearly three times the latter number, remained 
 loyal. Tlie careers of 44 were unknown ; but the proportion remains, doubtless, as 
 already indicated. In tine, of the 1,245 graduates of the Academy living at the outbreak 
 of the Rebellion, less than one fourth joined in the Rebellion, and over three fourths 
 were true to the Union. And this is the record on which is raised the crj' of "disloyalty !" 
 
 When, in addition, we tiud from General CuUum's tables that of the 280 loyal gradu- 
 ates in civil life, 110 re-entered the service, though half of them were beyond the 
 meridian of life, and that of the remaining 170, all under 45 j'ears old, became officers 
 of the Regular or Volunteer Ai-mies, except 39, who, from disability and other causes, 
 did not take an "active part ;" when we find that of all the loyal sons of West Point 
 who served in the Rebellion, a greater proportion than one in three were wounded in 
 battle, and one in five (an astonishing record) laid down their lives in the same sacred 
 cause, surely there should be an end to the cry of "disloyalty." 
 
 So much for the absolute "disloyalty" of this "hot-bed of treason," this "nest of 
 secession," as fervid stump orators are sometimes pleased to style our Military Academy. 
 Now let us look at its relative "disloyalty" — its "disloyalty," we mean, compared with 
 that of Congress, of such colleges as that at Cambridge, and of the country itself. For, 
 if West Point be a hot-bed of disloyalty, then are Cambridge, Congress, and the country 
 forcing- houses of treason more fruitful yet. We are assured by good authorities that of 
 the Southern graduates of Cambridge, residing still at the South at the time of the 
 Rebellion, not one tenth espoused the cause of the Union, much less entered its military 
 service. Even in the border States they went for or against the Union, in accordance 
 with the general sentiment of their sections. We have heard more than one Harvard 
 graduate of a dozen years ago aver that, after reading the names of all the distinctively 
 Southern students in his own and contiguous classes, he could not remember one who 
 had joined the Northern Army, and all that he knew anything about had joined the 
 military or civil service of the Confederacy. 
 
 Now let us turn to Congress. General Cullum declares that of the Senate but one 
 member from the States that seceded remained loyal, and of the House but three — and 
 they from a border State. All the rest, scores in number, went with the Confederacy. 
 General Cullum further well says that even "the Southern United States District 
 judges sided with their own people, " as did ' ' nearly all the Southern agents of the 
 State, Treasury. Interior, and Post-Office Departments ;" of the four living Presidents 
 themselves, "the only Southerner joined the Rebels; another did the country more 
 harm than an avowed enemy; while the other's were certainly not over demonstrative 
 in their etforts to preserve the Union." In one word, no position was high or sacred 
 enough to insure the loyalty of its occupant, no oath taken or "favors received" from 
 the United States could retain a tenth part of the Southern people. And as for the 
 whole Republic, it is fresh in remembrance how it was rent in twain, nearly all the 
 South going one way, and nearly all the North the other. Not one Southerner in ten 
 remained loyal. 
 
 Now, turning to the Military Academy, what do we find ? We find that of 350 grad- 
 uates born in or appointed from slave territory who were in the military service at the 
 outbreak of the Rebellion, no less than 162 remained loyal, while 168 joined the Rebels. 
 In other words, while in the colleges, in Congress, in the country, lo^'alty was so rare 
 an exception among Southern men that probably not one in ten exhibited it, one half of 
 the Southern graduates of the Academy remained true to the Union and fought in its 
 behalf. In the foce of this record, and of the record of the achievements of the loyal 
 half of the Southern soldiers, headed by Major-General George H. Thomas, of Virginia, 
 compared with the record of Congress, the colleges, and the country, shall we speak 
 hereafter of the " disloyalty" or of the lustrous loyalty of the Academy? 
 
 Much praise has been given, and deservedly, to Harvard, to Yale, and to other famous 
 colleges for their devotion to the cause of the Union. Lowell has immortalized that 
 devotion for Harvard in his magnificent ode, and its fame has spread not less in Europe 
 than America. Only the other day a London newspaper said, "Harvard sent her 
 under-graduates, not by ones and twos, but by whole classes, to the front. These lads, 
 the flower and the jDromise of the North, laid aside their books and took up the musket, 
 many as private soldiers, to fight for the cause which they saw to be so precious. Tho 
 list of students who fell by wounds or illness is long enough to make a famous bead- 
 roll wherewith to answer those who say that the natural aristocracy of America holds 
 aloof from her destinies." It is nobly and worthily said ; but not less devoted, not less 
 loj-al, not less heroic in battle, were the children of West Point, and their "bead-roll" 
 of ci'diu is longer and more illustrious. Whereas tho Southern sous of Harvard plunged. 
 
 9
 
 i-ilo (lisnniou iu a mass, nearly one half of those of West Point remained steadfast to 
 the Union. Have we, then, all praise for one institution, and only the word "disloj'al" 
 for the other ? 
 
 True it is that the Lees and Johnstons and Braggs and Beauregards and Long- 
 streets and most of the famous soldiers of the South were West Point graduates ; but 
 lower in rank were Southern Congressmen, holders of the United States offices of honor 
 and trust, and graduates of Northern colleges in greater projiortions. It was the 
 excellence of the training furnished to all its pupils. Northern and Southern, that put 
 the cause on both sides completely under West Point control. And for these banes 
 there were antidotes in Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Meade. Halleck, Sheridan, Hancock, 
 and so on through all the grades, from general down. Were it our purpose to go into 
 an estimate of the value of the Academy to the countrj', we should set forth the splendid 
 array of its great names, and the illustrious catalogue of their victories. But it is 
 enough to show what a weight of "loyalty" it lent to the Union. Harvard's devotion 
 aud loyalty are peerless, and we are all proud to reverence them ; but if General Pi. E. 
 Lee was a graduate of West Point, General W. H. F. Lee, his son, was a pupil for two 
 years at Harvard ; if West Point sent out Beauregard, Harvard sent out a member of 
 Beauregard's staff. Why is it that we hear impiitations of "lessons of treason" 
 imbibed at one place, but only of "lessons of loyalty" imbibed at the other? 
 
 More convincing than all other proofs, perhaps, of the unparalleled loyalty of West 
 Point is the fact mentioned by General Cullum, that of the apj^ointees from civil life in 
 the Army, at the beginning of the Rebellion, fully one Imlf joined the fortunes of the 
 Confederacy, while only one fifth, as we have seen, of the West Point graduates in the 
 Army proved disloyal. What do those say to this fact, who are wont to say that but 
 for West Point there would have been no secession? It was the Army ofllcers from 
 civil life who, in such a vastly greater ratio, espoused the cause of the Rebellion. In 
 face of these accumulated proofs of the loyalty of the JMilitary Academy, of the unequalled 
 extent to which it held even its Southern graduates trrie to the Union, and the conspic- 
 uous services it rendered to the country, the voice of detraction should be shamed into 
 .silence, and, in a reaction of feeling, the long-deferred honor be given where honor is 
 due. 
 
 From the New York Citizen. 
 
 General Cullum's work is valuable for two distinct reasons : It is of great use and 
 interest to army men, and it fully vindicates West Point from the foolish charge of 
 being a nursery of treason. 
 
 During the early part of the war, a portion of the Northern press became impatient 
 becarise our armies did not at once achieve crushing victories ; and calling to mind the 
 fact that the Southern armies were chiefly led by West Point men, rashly concluded 
 that the West Point element, both in the Rebel and Federal armies, was either hostile 
 or lukewarm to the Union cause. The fact that Lee, Longstreet, Jackson, and the 
 Hills were graduates of the Military Academy, was made so prominent that the jjeople 
 began to believe that the majority of the graduates had joined the rebellion. Long 
 before the war was over, the true state of the case became iully known. The loj-alty of 
 the great majority of the West Point men was established Vjeyond controversy, and the 
 fact that the leaders under whom the rebellion was finally crushed were originally 
 educated at the much-sneered-at Military Academy, convinced the people that West 
 Point was not the irseless institution which some had hastily proclaimed it. 
 
 General Cullum, by the inexorable logic of statistics, shows the falsity of the charges 
 against the loyalty of the West Point officers. Only twenty-threo per cent, of the gradu- 
 ates entered the Rebel service. One half of those appointed from Southern States 
 remained loyal, and of the loyal graduates one fifth were killed in defence of the ilag 
 under which they were educated, and fully one half were wounded in the same noble 
 cause. These figures need no comment, but prove conclusively that West Point was 
 never, in any sense, a nursery of treason. 
 
 Of the admirable manner in which General Cullum has contrived to condense the 
 military and civil history of each of the two thousand two hundred and eighteen grad- 
 uates into these two volumes, it is not easy to speak too highly. The date of appoint- 
 ment and graduation of each cadet, the date of his several commissions or brevets, the 
 campaigns in which he served, ana the places to which he was appointed or detailed 
 for duty, the names and dates of the engagements in which he participated, and iu too 
 many instances the record of his death, are given with the utmost brevity consistent 
 with clearness. The author has displayed organizing abilities of a high order in the 
 arrangement of his Register, and a degree of care aud industry that reminds one of the 
 elaborate thoroughness which he displayed during the war. « « * « 
 
 The Register will be indispensable to every army man, and to any one who wishes to 
 understand the true worth of the West Point Academy.

 From " The Great liepnbUr," W-islitajtrin, D. C. 
 
 General Cnllnm's ]iio<Tr,iphical Kegister embmces some 2,503 militnvy Ijio'^raphies, 
 carefully i-ompiled trom the most aullieutic sources, and are arranged according to the 
 several classes of graduates since the establishment of the institution, in l.S()2. Among 
 the long roll of graduates, we miss, of cours3. the names of such volunteer heroes as 
 Logan, Sickles. Farnsworth. (J-arlield, and others ; but in tlio military biographies of 
 such soldiers as Grant. Sherman, Sheridan, and George H. Thomas, of Hooker, Burn- 
 side. Meade, and Pope, of Mansfield, Richardson. ^IcPherson, and Howard, of Griffin, 
 McGook, Heintzleman, and Kilpatrick, and in the statistics and tables of battles and 
 other military matters relating to the rebellion, are embraced an interesting and an- 
 thentic military record of the battles and grand military triumphs of our thousands of 
 volunteer heroes against the common foe. 
 
 General GuUum. himself a graduate of West Point, is manifestly a loj'al man. and 
 clo.ses the biography of all the rebel graduates in 1860-61, with the pregnant remark in 
 every case : "/le joined (he rebellion." We are gratified, too, to notice the many evi- 
 dences in the able preface to the work, of how warmly he feels the charge against ^Vest 
 Point as a nursery of treason ; nor are we displeased with his eloquent etibrts to rebut 
 and disprove the charge. He shows by his statistics that 162 Southern graduates 
 joined the Union forces, and bravely battled against secession and rebellion. These, 
 although cradled and reared in State allegiance, he claims, were rescued from treason 
 by West Point influences, resisting every appeal of relative and friend to swerve them 
 from loyalty and duty, and with all Northern officers (save sixteen, who dishonored 
 their alma mater), and 110 graduates from civil lite, who rejoined the military service, 
 bravely fought the good fight for the Union. While one fourth of the officers of 
 the navy on the active list resigned or were dismissed in 1860-61, and, being South- 
 erners, probably joined the rebellion, he shows that nearly four fif I hs of the West Point 
 graduates remained foithful to their oaths of allegiance ; that one half of those from the 
 South stood firm by the stars and stripes ; that in the battles of the Union, one fifth of 
 those engaged laid down their lives, and that more than one third, probably one half, 
 were wounded, while the survivors can point with manly pride to their services for the 
 preservation of the nation. 
 
 Thus he warmly defends his institution, and asks : Can any other college or semi- 
 nary of learning in the land— can Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Union, or Princeton— all 
 of whose Southern students en masse joined the rebellion— show a higher record of 
 patriotism or sacrifice ? 
 
 But in nothing does he decry or attempt to detract from, the merits and services of 
 our gallant volunteers. He praises them'highly. After eloquently arguing the impor- 
 tance of a military education from the light furnished by the history of ancient and 
 modern warfare, and the lives of the great captains of ancient and modern times— of 
 Cajsar and Hannibal, of Napoleon, Marlborough, and Washington— and showing that 
 knowledge and experience have in all ages been th? elements of success, that these can 
 only be obtained either from actual service in the field, at a cost of the blood of thou- 
 sands, or in seminaries of learning like that of West Point, and that it is far wiser, and 
 certainly more humane, to obtain them through the latter, he concludes his preface 
 with the following eulogy on our volunteer heroes : 
 
 " All honor to our patriotic and gallant volunteers who, from the bar, the farm, the 
 counting house, the workshop, and every sphere of life, rushed at the sound of the first 
 hostile gun fired in the rebelliau. to their country's defence ! Their self-sacrifice in 
 giving up lucrative positions and the comforts of home for the privations of camp, their 
 intelligence in meeting the difficult requirements of their new vocations, their endur- 
 ance through long marches and weary campaigns, their steadfastness in the darkest 
 hours of disasters, their valor on the battle field or in the deadly assault, their modera- 
 tion when victory had assured our success, and their return as peaceful citizens to a 
 cordial submission to the laws of their preserved country, are worthy of all commenda- 
 tion. Doubtless none more than they felt and appreciated the great value of military 
 education and experience as essential adjuncts to a natural genius for war in forming 
 the great captain." 
 
 From the Keio York Evening Post. 
 
 It is not every year that so valuable a book appears as the " Biographical Register of 
 the Officers and Graduates of the United States Military Academy," edited by General 
 George W. Cullum. Of course, the paramount interest of this book is for those whose 
 names figure on its pages, and for their friends ; but it is also an important contribution 
 to the history of the country. General Cullum has been indefixtigablc in his exertions 
 to make the work accurate and complete. ....•• 
 
 General Cullum adds that "the entire cost of educating the whole of the seceding 
 graduates, in money, was not more than was saved by the military knowledge of its 
 (West Point's) loyal graduates on every da;/ of tke rebellion."

 From the New York National Freemason. 
 
 This is uot a work of brief labor, but of many years of persevering toil. Official and 
 private sources of information have been exhausted to make it accurate and complete. 
 The General truly says : "Archives have been ransacked, tons of manuscript examined, 
 letters by thousands written, and interrogatories almost countless put wherever a hope 
 of gleaning any information at all reliable existed." 
 
 The preface is a complete vindication of the West Point Academy from all aspersions. 
 Its reference to the great warrior Masons of the world — Washington, Napoleon, Fred- 
 erick, Gustavus, Tui'enne, Eugene. Kosciusko — is flattering to the fraternity. 
 
 From its statistical tables we learn that cadets were first ai^pointed in 1802. There 
 were but two, one from Maryland and one from Massachusetts. In civil life thei-e have 
 been 3 members of the cabinet of the United States ; 7 ministers to foreign courts ; 12 
 members of Congress ; 5 Governors of States ; 132 presidents and professors of colleges ; 
 138 presidents, chief engineers, and superintendents of railroads ; 75 authors. 
 
 There were 70 battles fought in the war of 1812-15 with Great Britain ; 166 in the 
 Indian wars ; 48 in the war with Mexico ; 500 in the recent conflict, in all which the 
 graduates of the Academy participated. 
 
 The position of all the forts, arsenals, and military posts i.s given, and a pei-fect 
 register of the officers of the Academy from March 16, 1802, to July 1, 1867, making 
 837 in all— among whom we notice many devoted Freemasons. 
 
 Then follows the carefulh' prepared record of the services and promotions of the 
 officers of the United States Military Academy, making 2,218 in number. 
 
 The first graduate, Joseph G. Swift, was born in and appointed from Massachusetts. 
 His militarj' and subsequent career was honorable. General Cullum says of him : 
 "Amiable and sincere, spotless in integritj', staunch in friendship, liberal in charity, 
 General Swift was a model gentleman, a true patriot, and Christian soldier (we add, and 
 consistent Freemason), worthy of the imitation of all who, like him, would live honored 
 and revered, and die universally regretted. " 
 
 Another craftsman we notice, Jonathan Williams, born in Massachusetts, and 
 appointed from Pennsylvania. During the Ptevohitionary War he resided in Europe, 
 being the private secretary to his relative, Di'. Franklin (the Master of the first Lodge 
 in Pennsylvania), on his mission to France. Appointed in the army with the rank of 
 major, he assumed the superintendency of the Academy, and accepted various high 
 military and civil positions. 
 
 Space fails us even to mention the names of the hundreds of Freemasons, whose 
 memories will be preserved through the means of this elaborate work. 
 
 The graduates of West Point, their families and friends, and, indeed, the whole 
 nation, will gratefully remember General Cullum for his patriotic work. No American 
 library, private or public, can be complete without these volumes. 
 
 From the Boston Daily Advertiser. 
 
 So much has been said, and falsely said, of the disloyalty of the graduates of West 
 Point, that a few facts gleaned from Geuei'al CuUum's recently published Biographical 
 Register of the Officers and Graduates of our Military Academj', will be read with 
 interest. The carefully prepared tables show that of the 1,215 graduates supposed to 
 be living at the beginning of 1861, 99 from civil life and 181 from the army joined in 
 the rebellion, or less than twenty-three per cent. And if two thirds of those whose 
 loyalty or disloyalty is unknown are added, it would still appear that more than three 
 fourths of the graduates remained faithful to the Union. .... 
 
 Of those graduates who were in the military service of the United States during the 
 rebellion, more than one half held volunteer commissions. Of the graduates who 
 served in the battles of the late war, one fifth lost their lives for their countrj-, and 
 more than one third were wounded. 
 
 General Cullum is earnest in his defence of the Academy against the charge of dis- 
 loyalty, and makes some pertinent inqiiiries, as when he asks why Congress, the 
 Supreme Court, and the colleges are not equally accused of being nurseries of treason ; 
 or when he asks whether it is more disreputable to forsake the flag beneath which the 
 'graduate has been reared, than to stain the ermine of the Supreme Court with the crime 
 of treason ; or when he asks whether the makers of the laws. Southern Senators and 
 Representatives, who trampled the Constitution under foot, were not as guilty when 
 violating their oaths as the graduates of the Military Academy. The General asserts, 
 and we believe he is correct, that the Southern graduates of Northern colleges espoused 
 the Rebel cause almost en masse, while West Point, by the antidote of its loyal teachings, 
 saved one half of its Southern i)upils, who, from infancy to manhood, before they 
 entered the Academy, had breathed the poisoned air of secession. These arc points to 
 be noticed, and with the author we would do all honor to the noble band of 1(J2 gradu- 
 ates, who, cradled and reared in the atmosphere of State rights, in the hour of trial 
 proved true to their country.
 
 F)-om Harper s Weekly. 
 
 The recm'cl published by General Cullnm of the military and nther important opera- 
 tions of the graduates of West Point, constitutes the best defence of that institution 
 which could have been made. It appears that over 2,200 cadets have graduated from 
 1802 to and iucludinj;' the class of 1867. Among the names not distinguished in war 
 we observ(^ those of Sylvanus Thayer, long the head of the institution ; of llobert P. 
 Parrott, who devised the Parrott gun ; of George W. Whistler, the celebrated railroad 
 engineer, lately employed in llussia ; and of Alexander D. Bache, one of the ablest 
 rejiresentatives of science which this country has produced. 
 
 Washington, in his message of Dec<^mber, 1793. against the expressed opinion of 
 Jefterson, recommended what Jefferson called a military academy. "I opposed it," 
 says Jefterson in his diary, "as unconstitutional. Hamilton and Knox approved it 
 without discussion. Randolph was for it, saying that the words of the Constitution 
 authorizing Congress to lay taxes, etc., for the common defence might comprehend it. 
 The President said he would not choose to recommend anything against the Constitu- 
 tion, but if it were doubtful he was so impressed with the necessity of the measure that 
 he wcmld report it to Congress, and let them decide for themselves whether the Consti- 
 tution authorized it or not. It was therefore left in." 
 
 In ^lay, 1794, Congress expressed itself favorably to its Constitutionality. In 1796 
 Washington again presented the stibject to the attention of Congress. But it was not 
 until March. 1802. that West Point was selected for this purpose. Mr. McHenry, the 
 Secretary of War under Adams, had urged the matter so fully and forcibly in his annual 
 report in ISOO, that its organization on a limited scale took place. Jefterson, in 1803, 
 waiving his constitutional scruples, proposed an augmentation of the institution and its 
 removal to the then seat of Government, a suggestion which fortunately was not 
 adopted. 
 
 It is generally conceded that the great efftciency of West Point is due to the aiTange- 
 ments made during the administration of Mr. IMonroe, which extended from March 4, 
 1817, to March 4, 1825. General Sylvanus Thayer, in July, 1817, then Major, became its 
 Superintendent, after having examined the military schools and establishments of 
 Europe, which he visited on the termination of their great conflict, and was the instru- 
 ment for carrying into full effect the intentions of the Government. In Major. Thayer 
 there was a fortunate union of those qualities which produce severe discipline and afford 
 the requisite scope and breadth to military education. Shortly after Major Thayer's 
 appointment John C. Calhoun became Secretary of War, which position he held until 
 March, 1825. 
 
 West Point had contributed to the war of 1812 but few officers of great distinction — 
 General Scott was not a graduate — and as Mr. Calhoun had been in Congress during 
 that struggle, and had a mind peculiarly fitted for organization, his first care on enter- 
 ing the War Department was to unite with Major Thayer to jilace West Point on the 
 best footing possible to enable the country to wage successful war. Mr. Moni-oe's 
 administration was the last of those that received their impress from the Picvolution. 
 It was composed of statesmen selected not because of any partisan tendencies, but for 
 their supposed great ability and tried patriotism. It is not too much to say, that there 
 was unquestioned purity and fidelity and generally a high tone of honor in all the 
 departments during Mr. Monroe's term, and it is fortunate that West Point received the 
 impression of a new and powerful impulse from that administration. It has been 
 treasured by the Professors — who legard their honor as the brightest jewel — and trans- 
 mitted to successive classes until it reached the distinguished actors in the last great 
 struggle, in which they conferred renown on the whole country. 
 
 If Mr. Calhoun's doctrine of the right of mtllification and secession, announced long 
 after his connection with Mr. Monroe's administration, contributed to produce the 
 rebellion, which it tinquestiouably did, though he claimed that this was not his motive, 
 he had also provided a remedy in elevating West Point into great efficiency. In one of 
 his early reports as Secretary of War he said : 
 
 "It ought never to be forgotten that niilitorj' science in the present condition of 
 the world cannot be neglected with impunity. It has become so complicated and 
 extensive as to require for its acquisition extensive means and much time to be exclu- 
 sively devoted to it. It can only flourish under the jiatronage of the Government, and 
 without such patronage it must be almost Mholly neglected. A comparatively small 
 sum expended in time of peace to foster and extend the knowledge of military science, 
 will, in the event of war, be highly beneficial to the country, and may be the means of 
 its safety. " 
 
 The Chief Engineer in 1822 reported " that the Military Academy may be considered 
 as having been in its infancy until aboi;t the beginning of 1818, prior to which time 
 there was but little system or regularity ;" and he adcled, that a large portion of the 
 students "have been under the necessity of leaving the Academy without completing 
 
 13
 
 their edncation." The siippoi-t given to the institiitiou by Mr. Calhoun, aucl the pow- 
 erful efforts of Major Thayer, enabled Mr. Calhoun to speak of the institution iu 
 December, 1823, as "not iufenor io any sUnUar institution in any country." 
 
 The Southern tendencies of Mr. Calhoun were indicated even at this early day by a 
 recommendation to establish another institution of like character iu the .Sviutheru 
 States ; but it is fortunate that the recommendation was not adopted, as both would 
 have been more or less sectional, whereas tlie important fact that a large number of 
 those educated at West Point from the Southern States remained true to the Union- 
 General George H. Thcmias is the most signal instance— proves that the iutluence of the 
 institution was not as unfortunate as has been often alleged. 
 
 A curious examiner into the law of compensation will find in the far-seeing circum- 
 spection and sagacity of Mr. Calhoun as Secretary of "War, and in the policy of nullifi- 
 cation and secession to which he was subsequently committed — the good a partial 
 remedy for the evil — much to interest him in weigliing and comparing these different 
 measures. Certain it is that it required the exercise of forethought and diligence at 
 this earl}' period to prepare for a war that happened only about thirty-six years after 
 Mr. Monroe's administration had ceased. The term of Mr. Adams, which succeeded, 
 was not favorable for such improvonipnt, as supplies were rigidly withheld and party 
 spirit ran high. Nor was the term of General Jackson favorable for that purpose, as he. 
 was an improvised soldier, not especially friendly io West Point, and there were other 
 subjects to engage the attention of his Cabinet, arising from the violence of party action 
 during his whole term. 
 
 Retieetion will perhaps show us that the organization of West Point, on a basis such 
 as would ennoble the country to conduct war M'ith the highest skill, could have taken 
 place at no period with such advantage ns during the administration of President 
 Monroe, and it is to be regretted that C^cneral OuUum, in a work so valuable and likely 
 to be so enduring, shoujd have omitted, in his able pref;ice, to trace to their true cause, 
 so far as external management is concerned, the good resirlts in skill and science, and. 
 what is equally important, iu honor and patriotism, among the officers of West Point 
 which the war developed, and which have rendered that institixtion hereafter safe. 
 
 It needed a concurrence in both the excellence of the instruction imparted and Ih:; 
 peculiar relatioii of the students to render the efTficiency of the institution completi'. 
 The cadets instead of paying are i:)aid, and are the subjects of military rule. While i i 
 our colleges there is some yielding on the part of their professors to pecuniary interests, 
 such interests as between professors and cadets in no manner interfere M'ith the eflforn 
 made at West Point to render military education complete, and to impress upon it a 
 character of nationality. 
 
 From the Xeio York Evening Post. 
 The Cost and Peofit of West Point. 
 
 General Cullum's Biographical Register of West Point, of which we spoke a few days 
 ago, has some interesting particulars of the services which the West Point Academy 
 has done the country. 
 
 The establishment of a military school was one of the hobbies of General Washing- 
 ton. During the war for independence he had learned the practical importance of 
 thorough military education. Congress, in that struggle, was compelled to ask Louis 
 XVI. for engineers ; and General Charles Lee said, with his habitual sneer, that there 
 was not an officer in the Continental army who knew "the difference betwixt a chcval- 
 de-frise and a cabbage garden." Every one recognizes the greatness of our debt to 
 Steuben, Kosciusko, and others, who gave us the benefit of their study and training in 
 the European wars. Some of our own officers were, perhaps, a little jealous of their 
 more accomplished comrades of foreigh birth, but Washington did not share the feel- 
 ing ; in his last annual message to Congress he forcibly reiterated his conviction that 
 the covmtry should train up a class of such officers taken from among our own youth : 
 '•Whatever arguments may be drawn from particular examples, superficially viewed, a 
 thorough examination of the subject will evince that the art of war is both compre- 
 hensive and complicated ; that it demands much previous study, and that the posses- 
 sion of it in its most improved and perfect state, is always of great moment to the 
 security of a nation. This, therefore ought to be a serious care of every government, 
 and for this purpose an academy, where a regular course of instruction is given, is an 
 obvious experiment which different nations have successfully employed." 
 
 The bill for the erection of a Military Academy of the United States, was reported to 
 the House of Picpresentatives, March 19, 1800, by Mr. Harrison G. Otis, of Massachu- 
 setts ; Mr. Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, moved that the bill be rejected ; the 
 motion was lost ; but a few days later, Mr. Joseph Egglestou, of Virginia, procured the 
 
 14
 
 postponement of tlie bill by a vote of sixty-four to twenty-'three. It was not until 1802 
 that the measure became ii law. 
 
 The Academy, however, hatl only the cold shoulder of the admiuistratiou which in 
 the' mean time had come into power, and its early yeai-s were not verj* prosperous. The 
 result of this policy was, that when the second war with England broke out, there were 
 bnt sixty-five West Point men in the service. In the course of that war the record of 
 the tirst two j'eara shows in the army Uttle but bad generalshii), blunders, and defeats. 
 Americans, however, learn war rapidly in the field, and the last campaigns were mor3 
 ci'editable to our arms. In these campaigns West Point men took a conspicuous part. 
 Of those in active service, one sixth were killed, one twelfth were wotinded, and one- 
 tifth of those who survived received one or more brevets for gallantry and meritoriotis 
 conduct. 
 
 During the thirtj"^ years which followed the close of this war, the officers of the 
 regular arm}' were employed in fighting the Indians, a training which, although useful, 
 was yet very incomplete. At the breaking out of the war with Mexico, five hundred 
 graduates of the Academy were in the service, and many others re-entered it from the 
 occupations of civil life. In this war the utility of military education was strikinglj' 
 proved. In less than a j-ear and a half our small army in Mexico won thirty battles, 
 took forty thousand prisoners, a thousand cannon, besides an immense amount of 
 small arms and munitions of war, ten fortified places, and the capital of the enemy, 
 and acquired tenitorj- for the country which now yields every j'ear a revenue ecpial to 
 three times the whole cost of the contest. General Scott, himself not a West Point 
 graduate, thus summed up the le.ssous of this war : "I give it as my fixed opinion that, 
 but for our graduated cadets, the war between the United States and Mexico might, 
 and probably would, have lasted some four or five years, within its first half more de- 
 feat than victories falling to our share." 
 
 These two brilliant campaigns gave an extravagant fame to the Militaij' Academy, 
 which at the breaking out of the rebellion, worked to its injury. The people expected 
 impossibilities of it. In General Cullum's words, "the youthful graduates, who per- 
 haps had never commanded a larger force than a company, or a battalion, were expected 
 at once to lead vast armies of undisciplined troops through unknown morasses and 
 tangled wildernesses to assured victory." It was inevitable that the popular expecta- 
 tion should be disappointed, and that West Point should thereupon be as extravagantly 
 decried as it had been extravagantly lauded. In this reaction of pubhc feeling, the fact 
 that the rebel armies were led by West Point men was argued with pertinacity as an 
 additional argument against the usefulness of the Academy. 
 
 But as the war went on West Point men steadily replaced the officers appointed from 
 ci\-il life in the higher commands. Men who before had hard experience only in 
 petty war, learned with wonderful facility to practise grand strategy, and successfully 
 conduct campaigns of unparalleled diflicvtltj' and importance. Grant and Sherman 
 reached their j^roper places. The annals of the last years of the war justify General 
 Cullum's boast that the "cost of educating the whole of the seceding graduates was 
 not more than was saved by the military knowledge of loyal graduates on every day of 
 the rebellion. ' 
 
 The West Point Academy has given the country between two and three thou'and edu- 
 cated officers ; has procured for our army a world-wide reputation ; and, at the brea;:- 
 ing out of the rebellion, it kept nearly one half its Southern graduates loyal to their 
 coimtry ; yet it has never received, in any single year, an appropriation larger than is 
 required to maintain a squadron of cavalry ; and has not cost the country, from 1802 
 to the present time, a greater sum than was spent in any shvjle week of the last years of 
 the rebellion.

 We know of no single contribution to the military histoiy of the nation so rich in 
 invaluable data and so essential to the futitre histoiian or student of American history 
 as the volumes with the above title. The author, a distinguished officer of the Engi- 
 neers, and lately Superintendent of the Academj', is himself an cleceoithe " Cheri.shed 
 AJnia 3Iater," with which he has been many years immediately connected as "lu- 
 Rtnictor of Practical Engineering," and more recently as its Stiijerinlendent. Devoted 
 to his corps, to the Academy, and to the honor of the service to which the Military 
 Academy is so important an adjunct ; admirably qualified by study of the exact sciences 
 and of the best ancient and modern histories, and b}- natural and mental endowments 
 for labors of profound research and patient investigation, the graduates of the Ae.ulemj' 
 are indeed fortunate in their military biographer. Porno institution in the world does 
 there exist so full and complete a record of its officers, teachers, and graduates, as wo 
 now have for the United States Military Academy. 
 
 15
 
 The execution of this lask has beeu by no means an official duty, but was uudeiiakeu 
 ratlicr in payment of a debt of gratitude to the author's ^l/airt J/ato", which had bestowed 
 upon him a vaUxable education and habits of usefuhiess. 
 
 It was. we beheve, as kmg back as the year 1S4S, that the then Superintendent of the 
 Jlilitary Academy, Capt. (now Brevet Biig. -General) Henry Brewertou, believing that 
 a period had arrived when some formal and complete record of the services of the 
 numerous graduates which the institution had matriculated during the many years of 
 its existence, would be not only a convincing evidence of its usefulness, but a most 
 valuable book of reference, adopted the idea of a M'ork which should be not only a 
 "Register " of the names and dates of appointment and graduation of all the graduates, 
 but a brief record of their promotions in the army or of their occupations in civil life 
 after graduation. The author was then Instructor of Practical Engineering at the 
 Academy. The task was first assigned to other hands, but it soon became evident that 
 it was an undertaking to execute which, thoroughly and fittingly, but few possessed the 
 requisite qualifications or habits of mind, and almost natixrally, we may say, it soon 
 devolved upon him. "The Register of the Officers and Graduates of the United States 
 Military Academy," from 1802 to 1850, was thus the germ of the present important work, 
 and, valuable as it was, yet, as compared with the book before us, it is as the acorn to 
 the fully developed oak. 
 
 These remarks we deem appropriate, that the reader may fully understand that these 
 volumes are not hasty gatherings together of such notes as could be speedily laid 
 hands on, but an ordinary life's labor of an author peculiarly qualified for his task. 
 
 That it was a herculean one may be judged from the author's own account of it in 
 his preface. .......... 
 
 That by such an amount of patient labor alone could such a task be fittinglj' accom- 
 plished, is evident from the statement, by tlie author, of its character and scope. . . 
 
 We have devoted so much space to setting forth the origin and character of the work 
 that we can spare little to treating of the actual contents ; the resum6 we have just made 
 will leave, however, no room for doubt, we think, as to its invaluable characteristics. No- 
 where else can such an epitome of materials for our country's military history be 
 found ; none who would be familiar with that history should be without it, and certainly 
 no one who has a relative or dear friend a graduate of the Military Academy, or who 
 has been much associated with men and things connected with our military service, 
 can well dispense with these volumes. 
 
 We cannot close this notice without calling attention to the author's triumphant vin- 
 dication of the graduates and of the Academy from the charge of ' ' disloyalty. " Here 
 by accurate numerical comparisons he proves that 
 
 ' ' The statistics show that the West Point part of the army has been by far the most loyal 
 branch of the public service ; that nearly four fifths of its graduate officers remained 
 faithful ; that one half of those from the South stood fii-m by the ' Stars and Stripes ;' 
 and, in the battles for the Union, that oire fifth of those engaged laid down their lives, 
 more than one third, and probably one half, were wounded, and the survivors can 
 point with manly pride to their services, here recorded, for the preservation of the 
 nation. 
 
 "Can Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Union, Princeton, or any other college in the land 
 show a higher record of patriotism and sacrifice? Assuredly not, for their Southern 
 graduates espoused the rebel cause almost en masse. Should then these noble semi- 
 naries of learning be aspersed as nurseries of treason because they did not retain all 
 their f.lcves in the Union fold ?" 
 
 After showing how important an element to military success in war. and to the organi- 
 zation and management of the great bodies of troops suddenly called together to subdue 
 the Rebellion, were the graduates of the Academy, and the military knowledge which 
 the Academy has been the means of disseminating through all classes, the author 
 exclaims : 
 
 " How insignificant is the expense of this gi-eat establishment, which has had an 
 existence of two thirds of a century, at a total cost during that long period of useful- 
 ness not exceeding the nation's outlay for carrying on war during a suvjle -week of the 
 closing years of the Rebellion ! And since 1802, when it was created, the average 
 annual appropriations have not been more than those for the maintenance of a squad- 
 ron of cavalry. " 
 
 In another place he affirms that the integrity of its graduates is proved by the fact 
 that bat tw) per cent, of the entire number have been cashiered or dismissed from the 
 army, and nearly all of these for dissipation, and purely military oftences. 
 
 We have said enough, we think, to give a comprehensive idea of the value of such a 
 work, and of the thoroughness with which it has been executed.

 PREFACE. 
 
 After many years of persevering toil I present to my brother 
 Graduates of the Military Academy this Record of their services, 
 honorable to themselves, giving world-i-enown to their Alma 
 Mater, and claiming for their country a place in the first rank 
 of military nations. Every source of information, official and 
 private, has been exhausted to make this work accurate and 
 complete. Archives have been ransacked, tons of manuscripts 
 examined, letters by thousands written, and interrogatories 
 almost countless put wherever a hope of gleaning any infor- 
 mation at all reliable existed. Doubtless many errors will be 
 found, but in a work of this magnitude and character, where 
 positive data are often unattainable, mistakes are unavoidable; 
 but with free access to the records of the War Department and 
 Military Academy, a voluminous correspondence with graduates 
 and their friends, and a personal acquaintance of more than thirty 
 years with the movements and operations of the Army, I have 
 by untiring industry, collected and condensed in these volumes 
 as faithful summaries of the services of the eleves of the Military 
 Academy, as I believe any single individual could accomplish. To 
 avoid errors as far as practicable, the etat de service of each living 
 loyal graduate was submitted to him for correction before being 
 incorporated in this work. A large majority promptly responded, 
 but I regret that many replied too late to change their records 
 before being sent to the printer. 
 
 The History of the Military Academy is too large a subject to 
 be compressed within the preface to these volumes; but I cannot 
 forbear dwelling a little upon the value of this noble institution 
 to the country, and the cheap defense secured to the nation 
 through the admirable instruction there given. 
 
 The Father of his Country, in his last annual message to Con- 
 gress, says: " Whatever arguments may be drawn from particular 
 examples, superficially viewed, a thorough examination of the
 
 VI PREFACE. 
 
 subject will evince that the Art of War is both comprehensive 
 and complicated: that it demands much previous study, and that 
 the possession of it, in its most improved and perfect state, is 
 always of great moment to the security of a nation." 
 
 In elementary tactics, or the organizing and changing of troops 
 of any arm from one formation to another, as from line into 
 column or square, oflicers of ordinary capacity can make them- 
 selves proficient in a very few months; but a general must know 
 much more than this before he is capable of selecting a proper 
 base and line of operations, of directing suitable formations on 
 the field of battle, or manoeuvring his army to succesfully reach 
 a chosen objective point. " Ghaque soldat Franpais porle, dans sa 
 giberne, son baton de marechal de France,''^ was a true saying, pro- 
 vided the soldier carried in his head, at the same time, the qualifi- 
 cations for a marshal: hence nearly all of Napoleon's greatest 
 generals, to whom he entrusted the command of armies, were 
 either educated in military schools or had large experience in 
 the wars of the French Revolution. Marshals like Ney and 
 Macdonald, so terrible on the battle-field when directed by the 
 master-genius of the educated Emperor, were sorry failures in 
 strategic combinations when left to their own devices, as 
 Dennewitz and the Katsbach bear witness. 
 
 In our days, we no longer believe in what Chatham called 
 " heaven-born generals." It is agreed that modern warfare is the 
 offspring of science and civilization ; that it has its rules and its 
 principles, which it is necessary to thoroughly master before 
 being worthy to command ; and that it is wiser to pi'ofit by the 
 lessons of history than to purchase experience by the blood of 
 battle-fields. The brief span of a single life avails little in work- 
 ing out the great problems of science ; but education supplies 
 the piled-up aggregates of human knowledge. From the days of 
 early Greece, which excelled in all the arts, military education has 
 been deemed indispensable for great success in arms. It is mind, 
 disciplined and instructed, which leads armies and builds up em- 
 pires ; mind, not stultified with pedantry, but developed by 
 thought and inward will, conferring the power of discerning, 
 analyzing, and combining means essential to an end. This 
 culture of the soldier is to be acquired, not alone in military 
 academies, but in that greater school, the camp and battle-field. 
 To form the accomplished commander, the practice of campaigns 
 must be the sequence of the lessons taught by the masters of the 
 art. " The knowledge of grand tactics," says Napoleon, " is ac- 
 quired only by experience and by the study of the history of the
 
 PREFACE. VU 
 
 campaig-ns of all tlie j^reat captains. Gustavus Adolphus, Tu- 
 lenue, Frederick, like Alexander, Hannibal, and Caesar, have all 
 acted on the same principles, of holding their forces united, being 
 nowhere vulnerable, and throwing their masses upon important 
 points : such are the principles which assure victory. Read 
 again and again the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Cassar, 
 Gustavus, Turenne, Eugene, and of Frederick. Make them your 
 models. This is the only way of becoming a great captain and 
 mastering the secrets of the art of war. Your genius, enlight- 
 ened by this study, will induce you to reject all maxims in con- 
 flict with those of these great commanders." 
 
 Genius to conceive great projects and devise extraordinary 
 means for their accomplishment is the first requisite of a great 
 general ; but, besides this creative power, he must have knowl- 
 edge and experience, which are the implements with which he 
 works. Some eminent commanders, it is true, have had genius 
 without great learning ; but the foremost men of the world — 
 Alexander, Cassar, and Napoleon — were distinguished, not only 
 as practical generals but as learned scholars. Tlie first was in- 
 structed by Aristotle in all branches of Grecian lore, modelled 
 himself upon the heroes of Homer, and was an annotator of the 
 Iliad ; the second was a great classical author, the master of 
 Roman art, and the rival of Cicero in eloquence ; and the third 
 would have been famous as a philosopher had he not been an em- 
 peror. " Do you think," said Napoleon, " if I had not been gen- 
 eral-in-chief, and the instrument of fate to a mighty nation, that 
 I would have accepted place and dependence ? No ! I would 
 have thrown myself into the study of the exact sciences. My 
 path would have been that of Galileo and Newton ; and, since I 
 have always succeeded in my great enterprises, 1 should have 
 highly distinguished myself also in my scientific labors. I should 
 have left the memory of magnificent discoveries." 
 
 But, besides genius and knowledge, the habitude of enlarged 
 command, which is the education of the field, is indispensable to 
 make the great captain ; to know how to organize and form the 
 character of an nrmy, as well as to lead it when formed. It was 
 not intellectual superiority alone, but that confidence inspired by 
 discipline, which enabled Miltiades, with his ten thousand Greeks, 
 to stem the avalanche of Persia on the plains of Marathon. It 
 was not numbers and muscle that conquered Asia, but Alexan- 
 der, young in years, but old in the experience of camps, with 
 Philip's veteran phalanxes, led by such skilled commanders as 
 Parmenio, Antipater, Attalus, and other captains educated in war.
 
 VIU PEEFACE. 
 
 Hannibal was no blind Sumson, removing Alpine barriers in order 
 to inundate the plains of Italy with his Carthaginian hosts, but 
 the learned pupil of Hamilcar, leading the war-trained bands of 
 Carthalo, Hanno, Mutines, and Maharbal, well practised in the 
 school of victory in Spain. Scipio, though without veteran le- 
 gions, had seen the battles of Ticinus, Trebbia, and Cannie, and 
 probabl}'' had served under Pabius and Marcellus ; but not till he 
 had won that double victory over the armies of Syphax and As- 
 diubal was he — the educated commander — able to cope with the 
 great Punic warrior on the plains of Zama. Caesar was a stu- 
 dent from his cradle ; and, though " in him was a thousand Afa- 
 riuses," it was not till he had learned the art of war in Spain and 
 Gaul, against barbarians, that he could conquer his distinguished 
 rival at Pharsalia. 
 
 Knowledge and experience have been equally the elements of 
 success with modern generals. Turenne, carefully educated, and 
 studying war under his distinguished uncle, Maurice, required 
 a dozen campaigns to grow from the youthful commander in 
 Lorraine to the consummate strategist, manoeuvring against 
 Montecuculi. Gustavus, educated for the throne, and the heir of 
 war with his powerful rivals of Poland and Russia, won his 
 great victory of Leipsic by the enthusiasm inspired by his heroic 
 leadership, no less than by the stern discipline of his troops. 
 Conde, though rapidly passing from the school to the camp, and 
 from the camp to victory, was, after the rough lessons of Merci, 
 John de Wert and Turenne, thrice the general when vanquished 
 at Senef, in his later career, than as the stripling victor of 
 Rocroy. Prince Eugene, preferring Xenophon and Polybius to 
 his breviary, deserted the Church for the camp; but with all his 
 passion for war and numerous campaigns, he was not the finished 
 commander till the siege of Lille and the day of Malplaquet. 
 Marlborough had little book-lore; but from the age of sixteen he 
 studied war in the field, and was a pupil of the great Turenne, 
 though that education required many successive campaigns to 
 change the Churchill of Sedgemoor into the Marlborough of 
 Blenheim. Practice supplied his scholastic deficiencies equally 
 as soldier or statesman. Frederick the Great, the heir to a mili- 
 tary throne, was thoroughly educated for a soldier; but it re- 
 quired the mortification of Mollwitz and the teachings of his 
 faithful Schwerin to fit him to lead his Potsdam grenadiers through 
 that wonderful career of seven years of glory. Wellington was 
 educated at the military school of Angiers, in France; but it was 
 in applying the principles of war, there taught, to his India cam-
 
 PREFACE. IX 
 
 paigns, that he learned the path to success in Spain and to win 
 the laurelled crown of Waterloo. Napoleon, the meteor that has 
 so dazzled the world, received the best military education in 
 France; and, though his first campaigns are the most extraor- 
 dinary on the page of history, it must be remembered that he 
 had had the previous experience of the siege of Toulon and two 
 3'ears' service with the Army of the Alps. But, brilliant as were 
 Castiglione, Areola, and Rivoli, how much were they eclipsed by 
 the after-glories of Austerlitz, Jena, Wagram, Borodino, and the 
 immortal campaign of 18141 
 
 We could go on citing examples to the same effect till we had 
 exhausted nearly the whole catalogue of distinguished com- 
 manders of ancient and modern times; but the prominent generals 
 we have named will suffice to show that, to a natural aptitude for 
 war, soldiers, as in all professions and crafts, must be educated 
 to their vocation; and, to rise to the high level of a finished cap- 
 tain, much practice and the habitude of command are essential. 
 
 Unfortunately, the lessons, taught on almost every page of the 
 history of war have been too often lost upon our country; and 
 the accumulated evidence of four great wars, in which this nation 
 has been involved, does not seem to have changed the course of 
 our rulers 
 
 During the Revolution, having but few educated officers, we 
 were very frequently dependent upon European soldiers of fortune, 
 who were eagerly employed with high rank and extravagant 
 pay. To Steuben, the disciple of the great Frederick, the 
 Continental Army was mainly indebted for its discipline. Con- 
 gress, thi'ough Dr. Franklin and Mr Deane, was compelled to ask 
 Louis XVI for engineers; '"for," said General Charles Lee, "we 
 had not an officer in the army who knew the difference betwixt a 
 chevaux defrise and a cabbage-garden." Though victory perched 
 upon our standards in the beginning of the contest at Bemis' 
 Heights, and we had the educated patriot soldier Schuyler to 
 prepare our army for the struggle, Kosciuszko, the accomplished 
 engineer, to plan our defenses, the impetuous and reckless daring 
 of an Ai-nold to lead the assault, and the unerring aim of 
 Morgan's riflemen to deprive the enemy of its ablest commander 
 (Fraser), yet were we far from possessing the instruction neces- 
 sary for successful war. In the school of adversity, and with the 
 blood of thousands, Washington, though opposed to feeble gene- 
 rals and small numbers, had to learn more difficult lessons than 
 those first taught him at Braddock's defeat. 
 
 Washington fully appreciated the saying " that an army of
 
 S PEEFACE. 
 
 asses led by a lion is vastly superior to an army of lions led by 
 an ass:" hence his solicitude, to the day of his death, to see 
 established a national school for the education of officers. With 
 good generals, he knew an efifective army might be created out 
 of the most unpromising materials; of which we have the best 
 proof in the examples of Portuguese and Hindoos under British, 
 and Italians under French commanders. 
 
 Through his efforts and those of tlie patriot statesmen of the 
 Revolution, our Military Academy was established in 1802; but 
 it led a languishing life, and, though war was impending, it may 
 be said to have almost ceased to have an existence, under 
 Dr. Eustis' feeble administration of the War Department. At the 
 commencement of hostilities with Great Britain, there were but 
 sixty-five graduates of the Military Academy in service, and our 
 few regulars had scarce ever seen a battle-field. Again our 
 armies had to meet the foe with few educated officers and but 
 little experience in war: hence the years 1812 and 1813, except- 
 ing the sea-fights, were almost always annals of American 
 defeats. The glorious souvenirs of Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and 
 King's Mountain were obscured by the pusillanimous surrenders 
 at Detroit and Niagara, the barbarous massacres at Hampton 
 and the river Raisin, and the disgraceful failures at Chrysler's 
 Field and La Cole Mill. During the brief and brilliant campaigns 
 of 1814 and 1815, when our education in war was anew pur- 
 chased upon unsuccessful fields of blood, the full tide of triumph 
 flowed on almost uninterruptedly, and the "Second War of Inde- 
 pendence" closed in a blaze of victory. In these last achieve- 
 ments the youthful sons of the Military Academy nobly performed 
 their part. Of those serving in the field, one sixth laid down 
 their lives in the struggle, one fourth were killed or wounded, 
 and one fifth of those who survived received one or two brevets 
 each for their distinguished gallantry in that war. 
 
 Thirty years of lucrative peace followed before our next contest, 
 but the nation had somewhat profited by its past shortcomings. 
 The Military Academy, on the breaking out of the Mexican war, 
 had over five hundred highly-educated graduates in service, and 
 nearly as many more in civil life, i-eady to resume their swords 
 in their country's defense. Our regular arm^'^, mostly officered 
 by them, had acquired experience in fighting savages on our ex- 
 tended frontier, and had learned discipline in the swamps of 
 Florida. Our brave volunteers, with high aptitude to form the 
 best of soldiers, wisely sought the el^ves of our national school, 
 and tendered to them the command of their regiments and bat-

 talions. The material of battle had been prepared by skilful 
 hands, and educated minds directed the complicate machinery of 
 war. The consequence of this fortuitous condition of things, de- 
 spite political machinations, is too well known to require to be 
 detailed here. Suflice it to say that, in comparing this with the 
 preceding war, the fruits of military education are most appa- 
 rent. In Canada, during two and a half years, ivith much 
 larger forces than, the enemy, our defeats outnumbered our victories ; 
 our gains in prisoners of war were less than our losses ; our 
 trophies were few ; and our conquests scarce extended beyond 
 the camps we occupied. In the Mexican war, our small, but he- 
 roic army, in less than a year and a half, though opposed to the 
 quadruple force of the enemy, won thirty victories, captured 
 forty thousand soldiers, took a thousand cannon and an immense 
 amount of small arms and munitions of war, carried ten fortified 
 places and the capital of the enemy, and extended our conquests 
 over the immense territory of Mexico and California. The gain 
 of that war, to say nothing of national reputation, now annually 
 pays more than thrice the total cost of the contest. 
 
 The emulator of Cortez, the veteran Scott, -^one of the most 
 experienced soldiers this nation has produced, and the consum- 
 mate leader of our armies in Mexico, — says, in a letter to the 
 commission appointed under the act of June 21, 1860, to examine 
 into the organization, system of discipline, and course of instruc- 
 tion of the Military Academy : " I give it as my fixed opinion 
 that, but for our graduated cadets, the war between the United 
 States and Mexico might, and probably would, have lasted some 
 four or five years, with, in its first half, more defeats than victories 
 falling to our share ; whereas, in less than two carapaig'ns, we 
 conquered a great country and a peace, without the loss of a 
 single battle or skirmish." 
 
 The great results of the Mexican war gave the Military 
 Academy an immense reputation, and its popularity continued 
 till the first outbreak of the late Rebellion, which at once 
 assumed proportions entirely incommensurate with any of our 
 past notions or experience in war; yet the youthful graduates 
 of the institution, who perhaps had never commanded a larger 
 force than a company or battalion, were expected at once to 
 lead vast armies of undisciplined troops through unknown 
 morasses and tangled wildernesses to assured victory. Though 
 they quickly learned to apply the sound precepts taught at 
 the Military Academy, yet at the beginning of the war it was 
 hardly reasonable to expect them to successfully manoeuvre
 
 •m PKEFACE. 
 
 colossal armies in an unexplored country, and in the presence 
 of a brave and active enemy, who thoroug-lily knew the topog- 
 raphy of every battle-field and theatre of campaig-n. Under these 
 circumstances, successful leadership required larg-e experience, as 
 'well as knowledge and genius, such as had been exhibited by 
 scarce a score of generals since the earliest period of authentic 
 history; for, leaving out Asiatic conquerors with their fabulous 
 liosts, which could neither be fed nor moved in campaign, it 
 may safely be asserted that not twenty generals, prior to the 
 time of the Southern rebellion, had ever commanded, in a single 
 battle-field, an army of one hundred thousand men. 
 
 These early failures disappointed the cherished hopes of the 
 nation, and foreign adventurers and greedy demagogues, who 
 were aspirants for high appointments in the service, seized the 
 occasion with avidity to make the Academy a target fur tvery 
 kind of vituperation, particularly the unjust charge of the dis- 
 loyalty of its graduates. It is, unfortunately, true that many for- 
 got the flag under which they were educated, to follow false gods. 
 But who were the leaders of this treason but the honored and 
 trusted in the land, filling, or who had filled, the highest places in 
 the government: Senators, Representatives, members of the Cabi- 
 net, foreign Ministers, Judges of United States Courts, and even 
 those who had been elected by the people to fill the highest offices 
 in their gift ? Was it, then, a greater crime for graduates of our 
 national Academy to forsake their country than for the highest 
 officials in every branch of the government, executive, legisla- 
 tive, and judicial, who, from the seceding States, almost to a man, 
 joined the rebel standard ? 
 
 But let us examine this rebellion record a little more closely. 
 In the executive department, four Presidents were living when 
 Secession began. Of these, the only Southerner joined the 
 rebel§; another did the country more harm than an avowed ene- 
 my : while the others certainly were not over demonstrative in 
 their efforts to preserve the Union. Belonging to the bench of 
 the Supreme Court there were four Southern judges, of whom 
 two remained loyal, one was strongly sympathetic with the 
 South, and one joined the rebels. The Southern judges of the 
 United States District Courts sided with their own people. Of the 
 Senators in Congress from the seceding States but one, and of 
 the House of Representatives but three remained loyal. Nearly 
 all the agents of the State, Treasury, Interior, and Post-office De- 
 partments, residing in, or from the seceding States, espoused the 
 rebel cause. Over one fourth of the officers of the Navy on the
 
 PREFACE. XUi 
 
 active list resigned or were dismissed in 1860-61, nearly all ut 
 whom, being Southerners, probably joined in the Rebellion, Of 
 those appointed in the Army from civil life nearly one half, while 
 but a little over one fifth of the West Point oflBcers, left the ser- 
 vice and joined in the rebellion. 
 
 With these pregnant facts before us, we would ask : was it a 
 greater wrong in an humble graduate to forget the nation's foster- 
 ing care in training him for four years at the Military Academy, 
 than for a President to renounce his allegiance to the country 
 which for four years had encircled his brow with the republic's 
 crown ? Was it more disreputable to forsake the flag beneath which 
 the graduate had been reared, than to stain the revered and vener- 
 able ermine of the Supreme Bench with the Upas of Secession? Were 
 the makers of the laws — Southern Senators and Representatives — 
 who trampled the Constitution under foot, less guilty than grad- 
 uates, for violating their vows ? Strange to say, though so many 
 of these highest oflScials of the land rebelled against the Union, 
 we rarely hear Congress, the Supreme Court, the executive, and 
 other departments of the government, stigmatized as nurseries 
 of treason, while the Military Academy has been the butt 
 against which every opprobrious epithet has been hurled by 
 unscrupulous demagogues, as false to the flag and ungrateful 
 to the nation, notwithstanding the statistics show that the 
 West Point part of the army has been by far the most loyal 
 branch of the public service ; that nearly four fifths of its 
 graduate officers remained faithful ; that one half of those from 
 the South stood firm by the stars and stripes; and, in the battles 
 for the Union, that one fifth of those engaged laid down their 
 lives, more than one third, and probably one half, were wounded, 
 and the survivors can point with manly pride to their services, 
 here recorded, for the preservation of the nation. 
 
 Can Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Union, Princeton or any other 
 college in the land show a higher record of patriotism and sacri- 
 fice ? Assuredly not: for their Southern graduates espoused the 
 rebel cause almost en masse. Should, then, these noble seminaries 
 of learning be aspersed as nurseries of treason because they did 
 not retain all their eleves in the Union fold ? And is it just to 
 launch anathemas at the Military Academy which saved by the 
 antidote of its loyal teachings one half of its southern pupils, 
 •.vho, from infancy to early manhood, before they enfered this 
 uur truly national institution, had imbibed the poison of secession, 
 till the virus had permeated every fibre of their hearts and brains ?

 That noble band of one hundred and sixty-two southern grad- 
 uates, cradled and reared in state alleg-iance, but rescued from 
 treason by West Point influences, bravelj' battled against rebel- 
 lion, and no less firmly against every appeal of relative and 
 friend to swerve them from loyally and duty. These, with all 
 Northern officers (save sixteen who dishonored their Alma Mater) 
 and one hundred and fiftci n graduates from civil life who re- 
 joined the military service, fought the good fight for the 
 Union, though their merits were often overlooked to give place 
 to those who had not learned, as Napoleon calls it, "le metier des 
 amies." 
 
 Much unreasonable clamor has been echoed throughout the 
 length and breadth of the land of the enormity of graduates 
 joining in the Rebellion because they were educated at the pub- 
 lic expense. True the government gave them the best scientific 
 military education, at a cost for each of from two to three thou- 
 sand dollars. But, it may be asked, was this out of pure love 
 fur the individual cadets and as a charitable bounty to promising 
 young men, or did the republic, requiring the best officers for its 
 small standing army, act upon the principle of all communities, 
 that it was more profitable to employ educated talent to execute 
 her high trusts than to procure cheap ignorance, to be heavily 
 discounted in disaster and disgrace on the first shock of arms ? 
 It is not for the benefit of the Military Academy but for the 
 nation's self that she supports and fosters that noble seminary 
 of science and military art, which has already a thousand times 
 repaid its cost in the success of our arms, in the difi'usion of 
 special knowledge, in the execution of great public works, and 
 in the proverbial integrity of its graduates. Tho whole annual 
 cost of the institution would not equal the losses through igno- 
 rance by a single blunder in ordnance or engineering construc- 
 tion, or the profits by knavery on a few corrupt contracts; and 
 the compensation for the educated talent of the graduates of the 
 Academy, if obtained from civil life, would exceed the pay of offi- 
 cers of the army by an amount far greater than the entire expenses 
 of that institution: hence it is supported not only to secure effici- 
 ency but as a measure of economy. It might as well be argued that 
 the nation pays high salaries to its Presidents, Judges, and Le- 
 gislators as gratuities, and not for their services to the republic, 
 as that the Military Academy is a charity school for the benefit 
 of its eleves. The nation maintains the Military Academy exclu- 
 sively for its own, and not for the graduated interest, and the 
 entire cost of educating the whole of the seceding graduates in
 
 PREFACE. XV 
 
 money was not move than was saved by the military knowledge 
 of its loyal graduates on emry day of the rebellion, and the saving 
 to the reputation of our arras was wholly incommensurate with 
 any price paid for the maintenance of that nursery of soldiers. 
 
 But how insignificant is the expense of this great establish- 
 ment which has had an existence of two thirds of a century, at a 
 total cost during that long period of usefulness not exceeding 
 the nation's outlay for carrying on war during a single week of 
 the closing years of the Rebellion ! and since 1802, when it was 
 created, the average annual appropriations have not been more 
 than those for the maintenance of a squadron of cavalry. Yet 
 for this pittance in the yearly budget, this admirable institution 
 has supplied the nation with over 2 200 accomplished officers, 
 of which any army might well be proud; has filled every arm of 
 the service with talent, efficiency and integrity; has materially 
 aided in successfully conducting three great wars, extending our 
 national domain, and preserving the Union; has perpetually 
 pushed the wild savage from our borders, and been the pioneer 
 of advancing civilization; has constructed and armed our fortifi- 
 cations, improved our harbors, lakes and rivers, defined our 
 boundaries, surveyed and lighted our coasts, and explored the 
 length and breadth of our land; has given to our militia and 
 volunteers large numbers of valuable officers, and to our colleges 
 able presidents and professors; has furnished distinguislied civil 
 engineers, who have bound our territory together with a net work 
 of railways and canals; has supplied valuable city, state and 
 government functionaries; has improved our workshops and the 
 cultui-e of the soil; has added its mite to the counting-house, the 
 bar and the pulpit; and, through the contributions and text-books 
 of its graduates, has greatly elevated the scientific standard of 
 most of the educational institutions throughout our country, and 
 even extended its influence abroad. 
 
 With such a catalogue of services of the eleves of the Military 
 Academ}^; while the integrity of its graduates is proved by the 
 fact that but about two per cent, of their entire number have 
 been cashiered or dismissed from the army, and nearly all these 
 for dissipation and purely military offences; and where there is 
 so much excellence, matured for yearp by the thought and fos- 
 tering care of so many wise and conscientious men who have 
 shaped the Acad(»my's destinies — it is certainly due to the insti- 
 tution, which has been tested in the crucible of peace and war, 
 that our statesmen should frcl that the past is a guarantee of 
 future usefulness; that its value should be enhanced by adding
 
 XXI PEEFACE. 
 
 materially to the number of its graduates, now limited to about 
 one annually to every million of our people; that untried projects 
 of military education should be discarded as schemes like to re- 
 turn to plague the inventors; and that this great national Academy 
 is worthy of the country's confidence, and, as Napoleon said oi 
 the Polytechnic School, is for the Army, "le poulet aux ceufs 
 cVorJ' 
 
 In advocating the importance of military education and setting 
 forth the usefulness of our great National Academy, there is no 
 design of arrogating for its graduates any exclusive excellence as 
 leaders of our armies, nor of detracting from the merits of those 
 who have not enjoyed the same advantages. All honor to our 
 patriotic and gallant volunteers who, from the bar, the farm, the 
 counting-house, the work-shop, and every sphere of life, rushed at 
 the sound of the first hostile gun fired in the Rebellion to their 
 country's defense I Their self-sacrifice in giving up lucrative 
 positions and the comforts of home for the privations of camp, 
 their intelligence in meeting the difficult requirements of their 
 new vocations, their endurance through long marches and weary 
 campaigns, their steadfastness in the darkest hours of disaster, 
 their valor on the battle-field or in the deadly assault, their 
 moderation when victory liad assured our success, and their 
 return as peaceful citizens to a cordial submission to the laws of 
 their preserved country, are worthy of all commendation. Doubt- 
 less none more than they felt and appreciated the great value of 
 military education and experience as essential adjuncts to a 
 natural genius for war in forming the great captain. Those only 
 who know nothing of the profession of arms — 
 
 "Count wisdom as no member of the war, 
 Fore-stall our prescience, and esteem no act 
 But that of hand : the still and mental parts, 
 That do contrive how manj' hands shall strike 
 When fitness calls them on, and know, b}' measure 
 Of their observant toil, the enemies' weight ; 
 Why, this hath not a finger's dignity ; 
 They call this bed-work-mapp'r^'-, closet war : 
 So that the ram that batters down the wall, 
 For the great swing and rudeness of its poise, 
 They place before his hand that made the engine ; 
 Or those that with the fineness of their souls 
 By reason guide its execution."

 This record shows that of the 
 1,219 Gra^laates of the Military 
 Academy, supposed to be living at 
 the besinnins of the Rebellion, 99 
 in civil life and 184 from the array 
 joinerl in the war against the Uni- 
 ted States, pr Jess ihayi 23 per cctU. 
 Adding even two-thirds of those of 
 whom it is unknown whether 
 they were loyal or disloyal (whi'^h 
 would probably inclnde all that 
 were livinpr). It appears that more 
 than threefonrllis of the Graduates 
 remained faithful to the Union. 
 
 Of the 821 Graduates in the 
 army when the Southern States 
 seceded, 184 joined in the Rebel- 
 lion, being- 22 per cent., or but a 
 little over ons-Jijth of the whole 
 number. 
 
 Of the 99 Graduates who joined 
 in the Rebellion from civil life, alt 
 were from slave territory, or resi- 
 dents therein, except one. 
 
 Of the nso Graduates born in or 
 appoiuteil from slave territory, 
 who were in military ser\'ice wheri 
 the Southern States seceded, Iti'i 
 remained loyal, and 168 joined the 
 rebel ranks — that is, they were 
 about equally divided. In addi- 
 tion to the latter, 16 from the free 
 States joined in the RebellioD, 
 making the total of 184. 
 
 Of the 292 Loyal Graduates In 
 oivU life at the date of secession, 
 113 re-entered the military service 
 as ortlcers of Regulars or Volun- 
 teers, to suppress the Rebellion, 
 which incUidedtioo-seventhsof those 
 over 45 years old, ami all below 
 that age, except 39, who from dis- 
 ability and otiier causes, diti not 
 take an active part in the war, 
 though many perlormed useful 
 services in civil capacities requir- 
 ing military knowledge, while 
 otlierm, wlio had teoilered their 
 services, were unable to procure 
 commissioaB. 
 
 Of those In the military service 
 of the United States during the 
 Rebellion, over one-half held volua- 
 teer commissions. 
 
 Of the Graduates who served iti 
 
 the battles of the Rebellion, on«- 
 n/ih laid down their lives to pre- 
 serve ttie Union, and more than 
 ont'- ihirJ — probably one - Jialf — 
 were wounded la defence of their 
 country's Qag. 
 
 Note.— Sinco the publication of tbo first odition of this Register, the ReboUion Record of 
 Graduates has been improved by the receipt of additional inforination.

 « The Rebeluo.v is considered as beginning Jan. 9, 1861, when the first rebel shot was fired into the 
 " Star of the West," bearing the United States flag, and terminating Aug. 12, 1866, the date of the Presi- 
 dent's final proclamation that all hostilities had ceased. 
 
 This List embraces only the principal engagements of the Rebellion, the many thousands of skirmishes 
 and minor actions being omitted. Though much care has been bestowed upon its preparation, it is by no 
 means perfect, for want of reliable information, which does not exist in published works, nor do the 
 records of the War Department give full and entirely satisfactory data. In the classification here adopted 
 the term BatlU is applied to prolonged contests of armies or large bodies, usually not less tli.an an army 
 corps : Combat to a lesser battle, where a division at least w.as engaged ; and Actiiyn,tor the wnnt of a better 
 appellation, or as a substitute for 4/rat>, used by some military writers, is here employed to designate a 
 minor engagement between small bodies of one or a few regiments. In the summaries of services of 
 graduates it will be found that these terms do not always correspond to the cla,ssiflcation in this list, which 
 has been more recently prepared and with fuller information than was attainable when the former were 
 written.

 * The Superintendeni of the Military Academy, General Cullum, directed honors to be paid to 
 Gen. Swift's memory, in the following order : 
 
 "Headquarters, U. S. Milptaky Academy, 1 
 " West Poi.\t, N. Y., July 30, 1865. j 
 
 " The First GrafUiato of the U. S. Military Academy, General Joseph G. Swift, departed this 
 life at his residence in Geneva, N. Y., on the 23d instant, at the advanced ago of nearly 82. 
 
 " General Swi?t was born December 31, 1783, in Nantucket, Mas.; was graduated at the Mili- 
 tary Academy .soon after its organization ; and was promoted Oct. 12, 1802, to bo Second Lieutenant 
 in the Corps of Engineers, in which branch of service he continued through all the successive 
 grades, till he became Colonel and Chief Engineer of the Army, July 31, 1812— during that periol 
 being chii'fly engaged in the construction of fortifications on the Atlantic Coast. In the War of 
 1812-\5, with Great Britain, after serving as Aide-de-Camp to Major General Pinckney, he became, 
 in 1813, the Chief Engineer in Wilkinson's campaign on the St. Lawrence, participating in the 
 Battle of Chrystler's Field, and was subsequently, in 1813-14, Chief Engineer of the forces for 
 the del'ense of New York, receiving for his 'Meritorious Services,' the brevet of Brigadier- 
 General, Feb 19. 1814. After tlie war he as.sumod the direct Siiporintendency of the Military 
 Academy, and was its Inspector for a brief period preceding his resignation, Nov. 12, 1818. 
 Upon leaving the Army, he, for nine years, was S^nveyor of U. S. Revenue for the Port of New 
 York, and then became a distinguished Civil Engineer, employed by the Government, for a long 
 period, in directing harbor improvements on the Nurthern Lakes, aud aiding in suppressing 
 Canada Border disturbances, being, in 1841, honored by tlie Presiient with a mission to tha 
 British Provinces with rel'orence to a Treaty of Peace with Great Britain. 
 
 " Born at the closi; of the American Revolution, and dying at the termination of the American 
 Rebellion, General Swift live! through the most momentous period of history, and was himself a 
 prominent actor in the grand drama of our national existence. His military career began with 
 that of the Military Academy, which he fostered in its feeble infancy, and he lived to see, in its 
 developed maturity, the sons of his cherished Alma Matek directing the high destinies of his 
 country on viitorious fl'^lds in Canada, Florida, Mexico, and within the wide domain of our 
 Southern bonier. He now calmly sleeps, after a long and useful lile of more than fourscoro 
 years leaving this world in the blissful consciousness that he and his brother graduates of this 
 Institution, have ablv performed their allotted part in subduing the s ivage foe, in conquering 
 foreign enemies, and" crushing treason in our midst, and that ho has left behind a regenerated 
 fatherland of one people, with but one emblem of uatloualily, sacred to Liberty and the triumph 
 of the best Govi^rnment on earth. 
 
 " The p 'rsoual oxcellonce of General Swirr can bo only appreciated by those who knew and 
 loved him, and they were all whom ho met on his loMg journey of life, for he had no enemies 
 but his counlry'.s. Amiable and sincere, spotless in integrity, stanch in friendship, liberal in 
 charity. General Swit-r was a model gentleman, a true pilriot, and Christian soldier, worthy o( 
 the imitation of all who, like him, would live honored aud revered, and die universally 
 regretted. 
 
 "As an appropriate tribute of respect from the Military Academy to his memory, there will 
 be fired, under the direction of the Commandant of Cadets, eleven- minute guns, commencing at 
 meridian tomorrow, and the National flag will bo displayed at half-staff from the same hour 
 until sunset."

 MiUtary History.— Cadet of the U. S. MOitary Academy from Mar. 2, 1801, 
 to ]Mar. 6, 1806, when he was graduated and promoted in the Army to 
 Second Lieut. , Reg. of Aetilleeists, Mab. 6, 1806. 
 
 * The Secretary of War anno;:nced his death to the army, April 23, 1864, In the following Gene- 
 ral Order : 
 
 "Another, and among the last of the heroes of our ' Second War of Independence,' is gone. 
 Bvt. Maj. -General JosKPn (Jii.bbrt Totten', Chief of Engineers of the U. S. Army, departed this 
 life on the 22d instant, in this city, \n his seventy-sixth year. 
 
 " General ToTTEN' was born August 23, 17SS, in N'ew Haven, Ct. ,and was graduated at the 
 Mihtary Academy in 180,5, from which ho was promoted to the Corps of Engineers, and, with a 
 brief interval, from 1806 to 1S08, continued in that arm of service, passing honorably through 
 every grade until he became, in 1838, Chief Engineer of the Army. The Senate, before his death, 
 unanimously confirmed his nomination by the President, to bo 'Major-General by brevet, for 
 long, faithful audominont services.' 
 
 " General Tottex's milit:iry career of more than half a century, has been one of continued 
 usefulness and distinguished services. In 1812, he was called to the field to assume the ardu- 
 ous and responsible position of Chief Engineer of the Army on the Niagara frontier, where he 
 took a conspicuous part in the attack on Qaeenstown Heights ; and the following year in the 
 capture of Fort George, Upper Canaila, and repulse of the British Uotilla on Lake Ontario. In 
 1813-14, he became Chief Engineer of the forces successively commanded by Generals Wilkin- 
 son, Macomb, and Izard, participating in the attack on La Cole Mill, Lower Can.ada and the 
 battle (if I'luttsburg. In this brief war. General Totten won the respect and admiration of his 
 brother officers, and the marked approbation of the Government, which conferred upon him 
 two brevets for his meritorious and distinguished S3rvices. On the return of peace, his high 
 professional abilities were called into activity on the Board of Engineers, which projected our 
 e.xtended line of Lake defenses and sea coast fortifications. These works, most of which were 
 planned by himself, are the enduring monuments to his memory. In the war with Mexico, 
 General Scott summoned his early companion-in-arms to aid him in the siege of Vera Cruz, where, 
 for his 'gallant and meritorious conduct,' (iineral TorrEX was brevetiod a Brig. -General. For 
 the past twenty -six year.=, he has been at the head of the Engineer Department, arlministoring 
 with untiring devotion, spotless integrity, and signal ability, the varied duties, the financial 
 responsibilities, and the professional labors of that arm of service so essential to our na- 
 tional defense. 
 
 • ' In addition to General Totten's multiplied military avocations, he was an active member r( 
 th • Light House Board, from its organization in 1852 ; a Regent of the Smithsonian Institution, 
 from its establishment by Congress in 1846 ; a Corporator of the National Academy of Sciences, 
 created in 1863 ; one of tho Harbor Commissioners for the cities of New York and Boston ; and 
 ■I member of many scientific associations. 
 
 '' Distinguished fiir urb.anily of manner, gonial social qualities, and that great moral excel- 
 lence whieli adorns the Christian soldier and gentleman, he has left behind an exalted repu- 
 Uiiion worthy of the emulation of his brother officers, and which his surviving children may 
 well regard as a pricolees l<'g.acy. 
 
 " As a tribute to his memiiry, the officers of the Corps of Engineers and Military .\cademy 
 will wear the prescribe 1 badge of mourning for thirty days, .and the d,ay after the reception of 
 this order at the Military Academy half-hour guns will bo flrod from sunrise to sunset, and the

 Senate, or compatible with the public interests: for it would, very possibly, imply the 
 necessity of ulterior proceedings not contemplated in the petition, and which it would ba 
 nianifesily improper to originate on this wise, or from this committee at all. As far, however, 
 as the committee may be justified in pursuing the course desired, they will proceed very 
 cheerfully. 
 
 '•The c:ireer of the petitioner in the Army of the United States, during a long perioJ of 
 nearly foity years, is a matter of history that may justly excite the pride and admiration 
 of every American citizen. Brave in battle, he presided, for along time, with distinguished 
 honor aul ability, at the head of one of the most difficult and arduous bureaus of the military 
 department, and lias loft to the country lastmg monuments of his skill and science in the 
 construction of various magnificent fortifications, both to exhibit her strength and to insure her 
 safety. 
 
 "While thus honorably and usefully employed in the public service for so many years, he 
 was constantly confl led in by his country , and never abused her confidence in the disbursement 
 of immense sums of money, and lived honored and respected by all classes of men, with no 
 tuint of suspicion attaching to his name. 
 
 "With a character so high to sustain him, the charge of malfeasance in ofllce should be 
 received with great cautiou by the people, and rigidly scrutinized by Congress, and no unjust 
 influences of any nature whatsoever, should be permitted to prevail in his case ; but if, unfortu- 
 nately, such influences do obtain ground, then it is obviously the imperative duty of Oiagress 
 to remove them, for no higher duty devolves upon the federal logLslaturo than the protection 
 of the honor of its military officers, of which it is necessarily, to a very great extent, the chief 
 custodian. 
 
 "In the attainment of this object no obstacle whatever should be allowed to interpose. 
 Wherein legislation is deficient, it should be supplied, and all bars of rules and regulations of 
 the service should be roniuved, lor nothing can tie so dear to the American officer as his honor, 
 and nothing should be more assiduously guarded by the American people thixn tli;it, for the 
 honor of the soldiers of the Republic is in no small measure the life and spirit of enlighteno 1 
 freedom. With these brief general observations, the committee will as briefly revert to the case 
 of the petitioner. 
 
 " The c:ise of General Charles Gratiot, who was the Chief of the Corps of Engineers in the 
 Army of the United Slates, has been so elaborately discussed in every circle, and so fully 
 reported upon to Congress, that the history of the whole case is familiar to every one. 
 
 "The alleged grievance, which cons-titutes the cause of his dissatisfaction, was the sum- 
 mary dismissal ol the petitioner from the army, in the year 1838, by the President of the Unite I 
 States — first, upon the plea that the power thus exercised was arbitrary, and contrary to the 
 true meaning and intent of the act of Congress conveying it ; and secondly, that a defalcation 
 in the accounts of the petitioner, which Wiis the cause assigned for the removal, did not and 
 never did exist in truth. 
 
 " In support of his first plea, the petitioner exhibits a mass of testimony, which is certainly 
 eulitlod to be very calmly weighed and measured ; and among the same is the opinion of the 
 General Commanding-in-Chicf, upon a paiallel case, than which no authority can be higher, 
 
 " In support of the .second plea, he denies totally the truth of the charge of defalcation, and 
 contends that he is not, and never was indebted to the United Stales for moneys misused by 
 him, and that a just and legal adjustment of his accounts will bring the United States in debt 
 to him ; that the withholding of the funds, upon the demand of the Secretary of War, was a 
 measure of self-defence, justified by the circumstances of the case, and that he was then and is 
 now propund for an equitable settlement, which is his demand and desire. 
 
 "It seems l^) the committee that both of the pleas are reasonable, and should receive atten- 
 tion, urged hs they are, with the earnestness of conscious rectitude, by a gallant soldier, who 
 has acquired a right to bo heard from the blood he has spilled in battle. 
 
 "Further than this the Committee regret that they cannot go, as it is not in their power tc 
 afiord an adequate remedy by recommending the passage of any law for the relief of the peti- 
 tioners, and they therefore ask to bo discharged from the further consideration of the subject. "

 * General Halleck, commanding ihe Division of the Pacific, in directing military honors to be 
 paid to his memory, says : 
 
 ■" General Du Russy was many years Superintendent of the Military Academy, often served 
 as a member of the Board of Engineers, and was several timos Acting Chief Engineer of the 
 Army. At the time of his death ho was in charge of the fortifications on the Pacific Coast. 
 He was the oldest graduate of the Military Academy iu active service, and one of the last of 
 the heroes of the War of 1812. 
 
 " Of great kindness of heart, and possessing most urbane and polished manners, ho was 
 endeared to a largo circld of friends, and the surviving graduates of the Military Academy who 
 were educated under his superintendence, will chorisb his memory as tliat of the kindest of 
 fathers. By his strict integrity in the expenditure of many millions of public money, his faith- 
 ful discharge of every duty of ofQce and of life, and his unsulliod honor, he has left an example 
 moBt worthy of imitatioD."

 ♦ General Hitchcock, who passed over the battle groiintl, Fob. 22, 1836, reports : "Along the 
 north and west liicHS of the triangular breastwork, forraod by felled trees, were about thirty 
 bodies, mere skeletons, although much of tlie clothing was left npou them. They were lying, 
 almost every one of them, in precisely the position they mui5t have occupied durius,' the light— 
 their heads next to the logs over which they had delivered their Are, and their bodies stretched 
 with striking regularity, parallel to each other. They had evidently been shot dead at their 
 posts, and the Indians had not disturbed them, except by taking the scalps of mo.-;t of them. 
 * * * The advanced guard, doubtless, fell during the fl,st attick. It was during a cessation 
 of fire, that the little band still remiiuiug, about thirty in number, thiew up the triangular 
 breastwork, which, from the haste with which it w;is constructed, was necoscarily defective, 
 and could not protect the men iu the second attack." 
 
 The action laste I irom 8 a. m. to 4 p m. Thj U. S. troops amounted to 108, and the savage 
 foe to 800 Seminole Indians, and 100 negroes. While a man could load a musket, the firing w.as 
 continued. — Captain GARniNKR, next to the Ixst surviving officer, fell, pierced by five or six 
 Shots, his mortal wound being in the breast. 
 
 A beautiful monument, of white Italian marble, was erected at West Point, to "Daob aud ma

 was adopted, " as a tribute to the memory of their respected and honored Chief, and beloved 
 and valued friend :" 
 
 ' ' That, iu the death of Professor Alexandek Dallas Bache, Superintendent of the United States

 whose careful administration and guardianship it has attained and maintained its present 
 vigorous existence." 
 
 The Secretary of the Treasury announced his death in the following order, of Feb. 19, 1867 : 
 
 " Treascsy Depaetme-vt, February 19.1867. 
 
 " In the death of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey, PKOFEbSOR B.^che, the Department 
 mourns the loss of one of its most valuable and most highly cherished officers. His decease 
 occurred at New|iort, R. I., on the 17lh inst., in his sixty-first year. 
 
 " No man within the present geaeration was more widely known in the walks of practical 
 science ; none has been so closely identified with collateral service in the various public 
 departments. 
 
 " Alexander Dallas Bache was born at Philadelphia, in April, 1806. He was graduated at 
 the Military Academy in 1825, and there remained a year as Assistant Professor. Subsoqently,

 "His devotion to practical science, and his abilities as an administrative oflJcer being well 
 known, Profjssor Bache was appointed, in December, 1843, to the vacantpost of Superintendent 
 of the Coast Survey. Under his direction, that great national work has been eminent, no less 
 for its abunUmt resilts than for its hi,'h sciontilic character, which has won the approbation of 
 the leading learned bodies of the world, among whom his name has long been held in honor. 
 He possessed by nature the qualities m ist conducive to susco.^s in the management of widely 
 extended public interests. Invariably mild and forbearing towards those serving under his 
 direction, his unremitting energies and his untiring patience were as invariably given to the 
 accomplislitn->nt of the service in view. 
 
 " His sympathy with the effarts of others, and readiness to give credit for their exertions, 
 secured a cordial spirit of co-operation. Sagacity, perfect freedom from bias, and constant 
 activity within the sphere of his public duties, strongly marked his relations with this Depart- 
 ment. 
 
 "Ho was a member of the Light-house Board, and participated in its organization ; a Regent 
 of the Smithsonian Institution ; and ever the valued associate of leading men to whom are com- 
 mittal qiostions in regard to matters of public utility. His advice was eagerly sought in the 
 determination of many local and general facilities to further the interests of commerce and 
 navigation. 
 
 " that tlio deceased Superintendent had bocomo illustrious in America and in Europe is duo to 
 the steady devotion of his great talents to the service of the people. 
 
 "His gMiial disposition attract;! the love of associates and of subordinates; his wisdom 
 comman led their respect. Ho leaves us a name of unsullied purity, and a memory that adds 
 lustre t) the many public records upon which it is borne. 
 
 "As a tribute to his memory, tho Coast Survey Office will be draped in black, and Will be 
 closed on the day of tho funeral.

 * General Hitchcock, who passed over the batUe-ground, Fob. 22, 1836, reports : " Along the 
 north and west faces of the triangular breastworli formed by felled trees, were about thirty 
 bodies, mere skeletons, although much of tde clothing was left upon them. They were lying, 
 almost every one of them, in precisely the position they must have occupied during the fight — 
 their heads next to the logs over which they delivered their tire, and their bodies stretched 
 with striking regularity, parallel to each other. They had evidently been shot dead at their 
 posts, and the Indians had not disturbed them, except by taking the scalps of most of them. 
 • * * * The advance guard, doubtless, fell during the tirst attack. It was during a cessa- 
 tion of fire that the little band still remaining — about thirty in number — threw up the triangular 
 breastwork, which, from the haste with which it was constructed, was necessarily defeotive 
 ami could not protect the men on the second attack. 
 
 The action lasted from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. The United States troops amounted to one hundred 
 and eight, and the savage foo to eight hundred Seminole Indians, and one hundred negroes. 
 While a man could load a musket the tiring was continued. When all the officers, except Lieut. 
 Basi.nger, had fallen, he said : " Now, my boys, let us do the best we can : I am the only ofQcer 
 left," upon which the firing recommenced. About half -past two o'clock he was brought down 
 by a rifle-shot in the thighs, and ho w;is afterwards cruelly massacred by a negro. 
 
 A beautiful monument, of white Italian marble was erected at West Point, to "Dadk Ain>uis 
 Command.'*

 Seminole Indians, where "the whole command, save three, fell ■without an 
 
 attempt to retreat," was 
 
 Killed,* Dec. 28, 1835: Aged 24. 
 
 * General Hitchcock, who passed over the battle-ground, Feb. 22, 1836, reports : " Along the 
 north and west laces of the triangular breastwork formed by felled trees, were about thirty 
 bodies, mere skeletons, although much of the clothing was left upon them. They were lying, 
 almost every one of them, in precisely the position they must have occupied during the fight — 
 their heads next to the logs over which they had delivered their fire, and their bodies stretched 
 with striking regularity, parallel to each other. They had evidently been shot dead at their 
 posts, and the Indians had not disturbed them, except by taking the saiips of most of them. 
 * * « * The advance guard, doubtless, fell during the first attack. It was during a ces.sa- 
 lion of fire that the little band still remaiiiiuK — about thirty in number — threw up the triangular 
 breastwork, which, from the haste with which it was constructed, was necessarily defective 
 and could not protect the men on the second attack.'" 
 
 The action lasted from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. The United States troops amounted to one hundred 
 and eight, and the savage foo to eight hiiuilred .Seminole Indians, and one hunlred negroes. 
 Lieut. Hendbbbon' fell, and Lieut. Keai.s was disabled by having his arms broken on the first fire. 
 The latter " got one of the men to tie both arms with a hundkerohief, and was placed agaiiLst 
 a tree, where he was tomahawked by the negroes." 
 
 A beautiful monument, of white Italian marble, was erected at West Point, to "Cuie axd his 
 Command."
