He was twice assistant See also:professor of See also:mathematics at West Point (1846—1848 and 1855—1856). During the first See also:campaign of the See also:Civil See also:War he was employed on the See also:staff, in See also:August 1861 became brigadier-general of See also:volunteers, and was breveted See also:lieutenant-See also:colonel U.S.A. for his gallantry at the See also:action of See also:- WHITE

White See also:Oak Swamp. In See also:July '862 he received promotion to the See also:rank of See also:major-general U.S.V. Smith led his See also:division with conspicuous valour at See also:Antietam, and was again breveted in the See also:regular army. On the See also:assignment of General See also:Franklin to a See also:superior command Smith was placed at the See also:bead of the VI. See also:corps of the Army of the See also:Potomac, which he led at the disastrous See also:battle of Fredericksburg (q.v.). The recriminations which followed led to the famous general See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")

order in which several of the See also:senior See also:officers of the army were dismissed and suspended by General See also:Burnside. Smith was one of these, but it is to his See also:credit that he did not leave the army, and as a brigadier-general he commanded troops in See also:Pennsylvania during the See also:critical days of the See also:Gettysburg campaign. Later in '863 he was assigned to See also:duty as See also:chief engineer of the Army of the See also:Cumberland. As such he conducted the engineer operations which reopened the " See also:cracker-See also:line " from See also:Chattanooga (q.v.) to the See also:base of supplies. Of this action the See also:House See also:Committee on military affairs reported in 1865 that " as a subordinate, General W. F. Smith had saved the Army of the Cumberland from See also:capture, and afterwards directed it to victory." Smith was now again nominated for the rank of major-general U.S.V., and See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

Grant, who was much impressed with Smith's See also:work, insisted strongly that the nomination should be confirmed, which was accordingly done by the See also:Senate in See also:March '864. Grant, according to his own statement, " was not See also:long in finding out that the objections to Smith's promotion were well grounded," but he never stated the grounds of his complaint, and Smith, in the " Battles and Leaders" See also:series, maintained that they were purely of a See also:personal See also:character.
