10 this respect, for, il people can not fol-

FOR THE STAR CHRONICLE.
The Late Lieut.. w. F. Campbell,

/ From private letter we CLEAN :he fact
that LIT. WM. L. CAMPBELL, Co II, 5lst
Regt 2. Vet. Vols. was killed on Friday
the 6'b of May. We have no definite
particulars except that after crossing the
Rapidan, Gen. Burnside, returning from
Headquarters, found the brigade TO which
he was attached, (GeD. HarIrsnft's) had
crossed first, and they march cd without
waiting for the rest That they became
engaged and made a charge Oh the position
of The Rebels, in which Lieut.. Campbell
and Levi Ammon were killed, and being
repuls d they were let on the i;ld. We
have not q word further.
Mr.. Campbell's record is Of the faires,
of our gallant soldiers. When the COM
pauy Was organized, he was a serge ant in
the ranks. For good conduct, for iutelli-
gent, gen'leman!y bearing, he was promo
ted to be first or Orderly Sergeant. On
the promotion of Capt. Shorkley, then
lSt Lieut.. he was promoted to the ID
Lieutenanrcy, aud On the death of Lieut.
Beaver, to the lst. lie shared the cam
paigus of North Carolina, Virginia, known
as Pope's Retreat, of Maryland, Virginia
again under Gen. Burnside, Kentucky.
Mississippi aud East Tennessee. lie was
in the battles Of Roanoke, Newbcrn,
Chantilly, Bull Run the second, South
Mountain, Antie,um, Fredericksburg and
at Ncksbar..
We marched with no braver man. He
Was social, pleasant fellow, and had
peculiarly swee. voice. Many u dreary
hour he enlvened with its strains The
tones yet iinger with me as | think back
over the varied scenes through which we
have passed together. Sad it is to think
that be Is dead. Associated in scenes Of
dagger aud death, short time it takes to
make strong bond, whose strength SOL
diers only know. | know there is none
his company will more nearly miss or
none more sorely regret.
While We remember this must be
that the good and the brave must be
offered up as sacrifices to preserve what
We bold dearest-our country's good
while We give him the glory the brave
must cOrSt, yet We can not but iDdalge
our sadness, that one SO young should
meet with such swift death, and think it
only right that our eyes moisten, our
hearts be sorrowful because be is dead.

Issue such articles as are contained in the

tive as possible! That one who has bis

Outs" in which the loyal people are
designated as the Ins, or as being 10 office,
and the CoPperhcads as the Outs, or as
being comparatively out Of power and it
is said by the writer of the article that
after VIC leave this world the designated
parties will remain unchanged, but he
wishes to change their condition SO as to
have the loyal people in the internal
regions and the Copperheads out. But
why make such a change contrary to
revelation. True, it is natural for them
to desire it, bu: we are taught by revela-
sion that the good shall reign over the
wicked in the other world, which justi6es
the first part Of the conclusions, viz that
the Ins will remain los and the Outs will
remain Outs. But tho reversing of the
meaning is contrary to reason and revela-
ton, and none are capable Of hoping SO
but those despicable, uDprincipled, igno-

unworthy Of the protection that Govern.
ment gives them, and who know that
eternal vengeance awaits them, and have
not energy enOu gh SO make an effort to
avoid IT, but sit and hope that it won't be

The writer further says there is such q
thing as the lns and Outs changing places
here; and goes on to ask how the loyal
people would like to change places with
he Copperheads, aud when the change is
made how they would like to see all the
'fiices filed BY COpperheads,. and every
oyal man thrown out of Office, and the
most radical men banished, and their
'rsans silenced. The writer's imsgina-

Homes Of A meTica.

The homes of America will not become
what they should be until true idea Of
life shall have become more widely
implanted. The worship of the dollar
does moro to degrade American homes,
and tho life Of those homes than anything,
than all things else. Money is the God
Of almost universal worship. The chic
end Of life is to gather gold, and that
gold is counted lost which hangs picture
upon the wall, which purchases flowers
for the yard, which buys q toy or book
for the eager hand Of childhood. Is this
the whole Of human life Then it is q
mean, meager, and most miserable thing.
A ch,ld will 60 forth from such . home
as horse will 60 out from the stall
glad to 6ud free air and . wide pasture.
The influence of such home upon him
10 after life vill be just none at all, or
nothing good. Thousands are rushing
from homes like these every year. They
crowd into cities. They crowd into
villages; they swarm into all places
where life 10 clothed With higher sigui-
6csnce and the old she'll Of home is
deserted by every bird as soon ss it can
fly. Ancestral homesseads and patrimo.
NAL acres have no sacredncss and when
the father and mother die, the strangers 8
presence obliterates associations that
should be among the most sacred Of all
things.

The Great Struggle.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Yesterday
the battle ragged all along the line, the
rebels holding on to their positions
with considerable tcnacity. At day
light this morning, general charge
was ordered, but the enemy had re-
treated. They were pursued, and the
rear guard was overtaken about a.
NJ, when brisk engagement ensued.
Gen. Dana telegraphed to Secreta-
ry Stanton from Spottsylvania e. II.
at 3 p. NJ, that Lee had abandoned
mis- position. for what reason ne could
not tell. Though the army is greatly
fatigucd, the whole force will soon be
in motion. The proportion Of severe
ly wounded is greater than on any
former occasion, in consequence of
the free use Of artillery. Reinforce
ments are going forward.
New York, May l4.-The Times
special despatch says that Lees re-
treat is rapidly becoming rout, thou
sands of prisoners being captured.
WASHINGTON, May l4.-An official
despatch from Sec. Stanton says that
Lee is wounded and in Richmond.
The rebel army is routed, and 1900
prisoners came in last night.
Our total loss in killed, wounded
and missing will not exceed 10000.
Longstreet is reported dead. 1900
nrisoners have arrived at Belle Plain,
including 400 officers. Rebel papers
confirm the report that Lee is woun-
ded and in Richmond. His army is
out of gear, and in full retreat. He
has reinforced Beauregard. The tel
egraph has been cut between Peters
burg and Richmond.
Our army is still pressing Lees
rear. A wounded rebel prisoner says
that Longstreet was wounded in the
left breast, and was carried off the
field, and subsequently his command
learned that he had died.
Late reports state that there is a
great panic in Richmond, which ex-
tends to all classes. Seven rebel
Generals have been taken to that
city wounded. Thousands Of priso-
ners are being gob5led up by our ar
my.
Sheridan's raid has destroyed cars,
locomotives, &C., and a large quanti-
ty of rebels supplies. The rebels
admit that Lee is defeated and wouu-
dcd.
