That sangune expectation may be disap-

to forget the good fortune which has attend .

ed a great deal at the North. this season,
both in strength of position and national glo-

is of immense consequence, in a general
point of view. We are growing to the
strength and hardihocd of a wsrlike nation,
forced as we were. to 6erome warIike. We
are learning TO depend upon ourselves for

gaining respect abroad. These things ought

Baltimore. Oct. a,th, 1914
Colonel John B. Campbell, 11,h U. s.
Infantry, died about the LIST Sc ptember, at ths
general hospital, WiiIiamsviie, near BufF.Ioe.
OF wound received in the kner, at Chippewa.
in the action of the 9Th July. My own situa-
tion at the time deprived me Of the melancholy
Satisfaction of being the FIRST To comnauicate
the intelligence to his friends, sai am much
concerned to hear that that Office was not Der.
formed by some one about him at the time
The wound was received early iRtae acio7
at the head of his regiment Whist ADVANCING
gatlantlyto his plsce in the order Ct battle, and
was by no means considered as R-cessarii- nyr-
t1!E An carly amputation would have saved
fss valuable lie, bat. this was opposed by the
Colonel himself. from an extreme :olicituds to
preserve the limb. The operation was finally
performed when the patient had become feeble
and exhausted he died Immediately after. I
was at that time more than an hundred miles
east Of Williamsyile. The latter particulars
were reported to me by the very skilfui surge
on who attended him.
Colonel Oampbeil's death, though lamentsd
by all who knew him was felt by no one in the
army more sensi5ly than myself H;s services
at Msssissinew way were,very highly appreciated
by government; and from his zeal aud ntelli.
gence there can be no doubt had he lived but
he would have risen to the highest rank in tha
army.
