Newton, and they entered the military school of Saul Mur, where they remained until the fall of 1842, having acquired a thorough knowledge of the cavalry tactics of the French army.--On his return, he joined his regiment, (the Second Dragoons,) at Fort Jessup, Louisiana, where he remained until the opening of the Mexican war, when his regiment was ordered to Corpus Christi, under Gen. Taylor. Soon after hostilities commenced, he was taken prisoner while out on a scouting party near Matamoras. The force was a small squadron of cavalry, under command of Capt. Thornton, the next in command being himself. The party was led astray through the carelessness of a Mexican guide, and was soon surrounded by a largely superior force of the enemy, when an attempt was made to escape, in which Capt. Thornton was thrown from his horse. The command then devolved on Cap

The battle of Lookout was fought the next day, the 24th, and lost, and was followed on the 25th by the battle of Missionary Ridge. Here, as on every other field where he has been engaged, Hardee's command was successful, and here, as at Perryville and Murfreesboro', the other wing of the army was defeated. He not only repulsed the enemy with heavy slaughter at Missionary Ridge, but took a considerable, number of prisoners and flags, and brought off his troops under orders without the loss of a gun or prisoner. The army retreated to Dalton, where Gen. Bragg was relieved of the command at his own request, and Gen. Hardee appointed to succeed him. The latter promptly declined the command, except temporarily and requested that some one of our ablest officers should be designated for the position. His conduct in this respect does him infinite credit. Ge

Hardee was ordered to Mississippi, and was engaged in reassembling the Vicksburg and Port Hudson prisoners until about the first of November, when he was ordered back to the Army of Tennessee. General Longstreet having been sent to Knoxville, Hardee was placed in command of the left wing, resting upon Lookout Mountain, and held this position until the evening of the 23d November, when, the right wing being threatened, he was transferred to that part of the line.

Hardee was born in Camden county, Ga., and not in Appling county, as has been stated by some, nor in St. Augustine, Fla., as has been stated by others. He entered West Point in 1834 and graduated in 1838. His first duty as a soldier, after graduating, was performed under Gen. Scott in the Cherokee country of Georgia, which is the same district that is now occupied by the army he commands. In the latter part of 1838 he went to Florida and engaged in the Indian war until the fall of 1840. He was then chosen by the War Department of the United States as one of three promising young officers to be sent to France to perfect themselves in cavalry tactics. His companions were Capt.

These Arkansians have since shown the excellency of their drill and discipline on every battle-field where they have been engaged. A few months thereafter Hardee transferred his force to Bowling Green, Ky., and formed a part of the army under Sydney Johnston. He was here made a Major General. After the reverse at Fort Donelson, he conducted the retreat of Johnston's army from Kentucky to Corinth. At the latter point the army was organized into three corps, commanded respectively by Bragg, Polk, and Hardee, and under this organization it entered the bloody battle of Shiloh. Hardee commanded the advance corps, and led in the attack. The country is familiar with the history of that
