Maj. Humphreys was in the U. S. Army at the breaking ou.t of the Rebellion, as Military
Store-keeper of Ordnance, having been appointed 30 Jan., 1855; was in command of the U. S.
Arsenal, at Charleston, S. C, and surrendered the same to the S. C. troops, 30 Dec, i860. He
did so, however, under protest, having but nine enlisted men for the defence, against some eight
hundred armed men. He demanded the right to salute his flag before lowering it, and the
privilege of taking it with him, which was allowed; all of which is on record in the Ordnance
Office at Washington. He resigned after the fall of Fort Sumter, and accepted the same position
under the Confederate Government. He was in command of the Augusta, Ga., Arsenal about
six months; was thence ordered to the command of Baton Rouge Arsenal. Was there at the fall
of New Orleans; got away with machinery and stores, and established the Arsenal and Ordnance
