CAMPBELL, Alexander, founder of the religious sect calling themselves "Disciples of Christ," but commonly known as Campbellites, born in county Antrim, Ireland, in June, 1786, died at Bethany, W. Va., March 4, 1866. His father, Thomas Campbell, a relative and classmate of Thomas Campbell the poet, was a Presbyterian clergyman, who emigrated to America in 1807, followed two years afterward by his son Alex- ander, who had been educated at the univer- sity of Glasgow. He took up his residence in Washington co., Penn., near Bethany, in west- ern Virginia, which afterward became his home. For a short time he was pastor of a Presbyterian church, from which order he soon separated on the ground that the Bible should be the sole creed of the church. In 1810 he and his father organized a new society at Brush Run, Penn. In 1812 he became con- vinced that immersion was the only mode of baptism ; and he and his congregation were immersed. They united with a Baptist associa- tion, but still protested against all human creeds as a bond of union in the churches. He and his followers in time were excluded from fellowship with the Baptist churches, and in 1827 began to form themselves into a separate organization, which extended in the states of Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. In 1864 they numbered 350,000 members. In 1823 Mr. Campbell commenced the publication of the " Christian Baptist," afterward merged in the "Millennial Harbinger," which became the recognized organ of the sect. In 1840 he founded Bethany college, of which he contin- ued to be president to the close of his life. Besides his numerous articles in the "Harbin- ger," he was the author of several books, among which are "The Christian System," "Remission of Sin," and " Memoirs of Thomas Campbell," his father. He was also engaged in several public discussions, which have been printed. Among these are : with the Rev. John Walker, a Presbyterian (1820) ; with the Rev. William McCalla on " Christian Baptism " (1823) ; with Robert Owen on "The Truth of Christianity " (1828) ; with Archbishop Pur- cell on the "Infallibility of the Church of Rome " (1836) ; and with the Rev. N. L. Rice on " Christian Baptism, the Expediency of Creeds," &c. (1843). On the subject of shi- very Mr. Campbell maintained that the institu- tion was sanctioned, or at least tolerated, in the Bible, and that therefore the relation of a holder of slaves should not be made a test question for communion in the church. His life has been written by Robert Richardson (2 vols., Boston, 1868). (See DISCIPLES.) CAMPBELL, Archibald. See AEOTLL, DFKE OF. CAMPBELL, Sir Colin, Lord Clyde, a British general, born in Glasgow, Oct. 20, 1792, died at Chatham, Aug. 14, 1863. He entered the military service in 1808; served in Portugal and at Walcheren; was wounded on several occasions during the peninsular war ; served in the war with the United States, in 1814 and 1815; aided in 1823 in quelling an insurrection at Demerara; was actively engaged in the Chinese war of 1842 ; in the second Punjaub campaign, under Lord Gough, in 1848 and 1849, commanded a division of infantry at the battles of Chilianwallah (where he was wound- ed) and Guzerat, and in other engagements: assisted afterward in the pursuit of Dost Mo- hammed and the occupation of Peshawer ; held the command of the troops in that district ; undertook in 1851 and 1852 various success- ful operations against the tribes of the adjoin- ing mountain regions; and received on his re- turn to England the thanks of the British par- liament, and of the East India company, for his services. In 1854 he proceeded to the Crimea in command of the Highland brigade, which took a conspicuous part in deciding the battle of the Alma, Sept. 20, 1864. At Balaklava, on Oct. 25, the Russian cavalry were repulsed by his Highlanders. In 1856 he became inspector general of infantry, and held this office until the end of June, 1857, when, on the death of Gen. Anson, he proceeded to India to assume the supreme command in Bengal, arriving at Calcutta Aug. 14. Considerable additions to the army having begun to arrive in the course of October, Sir Colin hastened to Luc-know, the seat of the sepoy rebellion. He reached Benares Oct. 31, crossed the Ganges Nov. 11, and arrived at Alumbagh on the evening of the 12th. After an encounter with a body of 2,000 rebels, he left one of his regiments in garrison at that place, and resumed his march on the 14th; was received on his approach (Nov. 16) by the fire of the enemy, whom he routed, and advanced against Secunderbagh, a walled enclosure carefully loopholed. A nar- row breach was effected, enabling the British forces to make terrible havoc among the en- emy, 2,000 of whom were killed. On the fol- lowing day the mess house was taken, the troops bursting into the enclosure round the Pearl Palace, where the rebels made a last stand, and soon a communication was opened
