 first half of 1856 he was employed in garrison 

 and frontier duty, and in July, 1850, appointed 

 commandant of cadets and instructor of tin-tics

 ] 800, to January 81, 1861, when he resigned and 

 joined the Confederate army. Here lie was 



Sresently promoted to be brigadier-general;

 in October, 1862, lieutenant-general. General 

 Hardee acquitted himself respectably in the 

 war, holding prominent commands in Arkan- 

 sas, Kentucky, at the battles of Perry \ ille, 

 Stone River, Chickamauga, and Missionary 

 Ridge; subsequently for a short time, after 

 Bragg's defeat, he wns in command of tin- 

 Southwestern Army, but soon resigned this 

 position to General J. E. Johnston. After 

 Hood succeeded Johnston, General Hardee re- 

 quested to be relieved, and was appointed to 

 the command of the Department of South 

 Carolina. When Sherman inarched upon Sa- 

 vannah, General Hardee went there to attempt 

 its defense, bnt was promptly driven out and 

 retreated to Charleston; but, finding himself 

 flanked liy the advance of the Federal troops 

 and the fall of Columbia, he caused the cotton- 

 wnrohouses and the arsenals to be tired, and 

 hastily retreated. He finally joined the forces 

 of GB0n] J. E. Johnston, and surrendered 

 with them in North Carolina. He never ex- 

 hibited any special tact or ability in his mili- 

 tary movements, but won, as he deserved, the 

 reputation of being a courageous and prudent 

 officer. After the war, General Hardee lived 

 in comparative retirement. He frankly ac- 

 Its of the conflict, and labored 

 to the best of his ability to restore good feeling 

 between the once hostile sections.
