Daniel Harvey Hill, an American soldier, born in South Carolina about 1822. He graduated at West Point in 1842, served in the war with Mexico, and was successively brevetted as captain and major for gallant and meritorious conduct at Contreras, Churubusco, and Chapultepec, and received a sword of honor from his native state. He resigned his commission in 1849, and became successively professor in Washington college, Va. (1849-'54), and in Davidson College, N. C. (1854-59), and superintendent of the North Carolina military institute (1859-61). During this period he published a work on algebra, a volume on the "Sermon on the Mount," and another on the " Crucifixion of Christ," besides several essays in southern periodicals. On the breaking out of the civil war he entered the confederate service. He commanded in the skirmish at Big Bethel, took part in the defence of York-town, and led a division in the battles of Me-chanicsville, Cold Harbor, and Malvern Hill. When Lee made his first advance to the north, Gen. Hill was left in command on the James. He joined Lee just after the second battle of Bull Run, took a prominent part in the battles of South Mountain, Antietam, and Fredericksburg, and was then placed for a time in command in North and South Carolina. After the war he took up his residence at Charlotte, N. C, where he has published a periodical, "The Field and the Farm."
