academy in 1912. From the year lS43 un-
I'll 1916 he was assistant professor of engl-
neering at West Point. In 1852 he was
made first lieutenant; in July. 1866, cap
tain; in August, 1861, major; in Septem
Der, 1861, brigadler general OF volunteers;
10 March 1863, ma jor general OF volunteers,
and in December 1865, was brevetted ma
ior general of the regular army. Gen.
Newton was engaged in the Utah expedi-
ton in 1858, and assisted at the construc-
ton of Forts Delaware and Mltflln. Dur
ing the rebellion he commanded a brigade
in the campaign on the Peninsula, and
fought at Gaines's Mill and Glendale also
at South Mountain and Antietem, for
