promoted second lieutenant the same year. His studies of the great masters of war gave him early reputation for accurate and extensive acquaintance with the art to which he had devoted his life. His services were required in Mexico during 1847 and afterward in the hostilities with the Seminoles. Detached from field duty by the government he was employed in the position of superintendent of the coast survey, having in the meantime received promotion to the rank of first-lieutenant. In October, 1860, he obtained leave of absence, and in March, 1861, his devotion to the cause of the South as against armed invasion induced him to resign his commission in the United States army. Virginia was beginning at that time to organize its forces for defense against the threatened coercion, and conferred upon the accomplished soldier the rank of colonel, with assignment to the command of the Thirteenth regiment Virginia volunteers, which he industriously drilled and disciplined for the great se

ny patriotic associations, would be removed to Albany. It is worthy of special remark that General Scott in his autobiography recently published, vol. II., p. 609, entirely omits to copy this part of his views on which we have been commenting; so also his supplementary views of the next day, though together they constitute but one whole. He merely copies that which relates to garrisoning the Southern forts. It is easy to imagine with what power these Views, presented so early as October, 1860, may have been employed by the disunion leaders of the cotton States to convince the people that they might depart in peace. Proceeding from the Commanding General of the army, a citizen and a soldier so eminent, and eschewing as they did the idea of invading a seceded State, as well as favoring the substitution of new Confederacies for the old Union, what danger could they apprehend in the formation of a Southern Confederacy? This portion of the Views, being purely political and pro

tes military academy by President Polk as a cadet-at-large, and was graduated in 1851 and promoted to second lieutenant in the fall of that year. After a year or two of service at Newport barracks, Kentucky, he was ordered to New Mexico, where he served in garrison at Forts Filmore, Albuquerque and Stanton, and in skirmishes with the Indians until 1857, when he was promoted first lieutenant, Third infantry. In 1858 he resigned to take charge of his father's plantation in Louisiana. In October, 1860, he married Ellen, daughter of John J. Long, of Northampton county, N. C. When his State had decided to enter the Confederacy, Lieutenant Daniel offered his experience and soldierly ability, and upon the organization of the Fourteenth infantry regiment at Garysburg was elected colonel, and commissioned June 3, 1861. His regiment was an ideal one in its composition, representing the best families of the State, and he gave it a splendid training for the stern warfare which was to follow.

eorgia regiment of infantry. Later he was transferred to the Twenty-fourth South Carolina regiment, commanded by Col. Ellison Capers, with which he served to the close of the war, surrendering with Johnston's army. Dr. Nardin was married in October, 1860, to Miss Lucy E. Hammond, and they have eight children, three of whom are sons. The doctor is a member of the managing board of the Patrick military institute of Anderson, and has served one term as mayor of Anderson, being the first to holdted to the bar in December, 1857, and began practice at once as the partner of his uncle and preceptor. He was married December 21, 1858, to Miss Anna Church, the youngest daughter of Dr. Church of Athens, Ga., who died February 6, 1876. In October, 1860, he was elected to the lower branch of the State legislature, which legislature passed the bill calling for the convention which enacted the South Carolina ordinance of secession, and Major Whitner voted for this bill.

Chapter 1: condition of the Navy at the beginning of the war. Political events of great gravity occurring in Kansas, which grew out of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and later, the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry in October, 1860, had familiarized the people of the United States with sectional hostility and bloodshed. The centres of direction of aggressive action were in the South, and of defence against them in the North. South Carolina had vauntingly sent her uniformed company to defend her rights far away from her own soil, and the North had sent arms and men to resist force by force. The violent unquiet element of the South had fully determined that the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency was in itself a cause of war, and it had so organized and armed its forces as to bear down any reasonable consideration of the differences between the two sections; nay, more, it had, aided by the demagogues of that section, constrained the men of thought and of charact

nce of his daughter, Miss Amelia Gayle, to whom he was married in December, 1853. He was in command of the arsenal at Mt. Vernon until 1856, when he was transferred to the command of Kennebec Arsenal, Maine. Prior to this transfer, he had, in 1855, been promoted and made Captain of Ordnance. In 1858 he was ordered to the command of the arsenal at Charleston, South Carolina, and served there until 1860, when he was transferred to the command of Frankford Arsenal, near Philadelphia. In October, 1860, he was selected as a member of the Ordnance Board, and served as such until the 28th of December, 1860. In April, 1861, he resigned, and his resignation was accepted. This involved the most painful act of his life. He had an ardent attachment to the union of the States. He was devoted to the officers of his corps and of the whole army. Almost his whole life had been spent with them. The sacrifice which he proposed to himself was great, and yet he believed that the South was just i

ock of all other callings, were large and certain. Now it has come to be, by reason of the great changes wrought by man and the greater changes wrought by time or nature, the most precarious of all the great pursuits of man. A succession of forbidding harvests has well nigh broken the hearts of the agriculturists. He succeeded admirably well in the management of the estate committed to his care. The broad studies pursued at West Point well supplemented his calling as a farmer. In October, 1860, he married Ellen, a lovely and accomplished young lady, daughter of John J. Long, Esq., of Northampton county, N. C. In a letter written to me within the last few weeks by Captain William Hammond, who served as adjutant-general on the staff of General Daniel, he says: I may not after so many years have passed allude with particularity to special traits of his character, but I must be permitted to bear testimony to his matchless devotion to his wife. It was beautiful and touching beyond
