His first play was a sensational drama, " Through Fire," written in 1871, and played for four weeks. His second was " Peril," a comedy laid at Long Branch, brought out in 1872. These were followed by " Pate," which was taken to England by Carlotta Leclerq, " Risks," and " The Virginian," played in England, and afterward bought by Frank Mayo, who changed its name to Van the Virginian." " Gran Uale " was brought out in 1874, and " On the Rhine," at San Fran- cisco, in 1875. Mr. Campbell adapted the German comedy "Ultimo," under the title of "The Big Bonanza," in 1875, and in four weeks it brought a profit of $16,000 to a theatre in San Francisco. His " Heroine in Rags " and " How Women Love " were written in England in 1876. The latter was reconstructed as " The Vigilantes." In 1877-'8 was written " Clio," and in tiie following spring " Fairfax, or Life in the Sunny South," brought out in 1879. Earlier the same season was played " My Partner," the first of Mr. Campbell's plays to achieve success in New York. " The Galley Slave " was also produced in 1879, and all three of these were on the metropolitan boards the same season. " Matrimony " was also written in the winter of 1879-80. Other plays by Mr. Campbell are " The White Slave," " My Geraldine," " Sibei'ia," and " Paquita." Mr. Campbell leased the Fourteenth street theatre in New York city, but was obliged to give it up in 1886 on account of failing health, and on 28 Sept. of that year a sheriff's jury declared him to be insane.
CAMPBELL, Charles, historian, b. in Peters-
burg, Va., 1 May, 1807; d. in Staunton, Va., 11
July, 1876. He was the son of John Wilson Camp-
bell, a Petersburg bookseller, who published a
" History of Virginia to 1781 " (Philadelphia, 1813).
Charles Campbell was graduated at Princeton in
1835, kept a select classical school in Petersburg
from 1842 till 1855, and was subsequently principal
of the Anderson seminary in that city. He pub-
lished " The Bland Papers " (1840-'3) ; " An Intro-
duction to the History of the Colony and Ancient
Dominion of Virginia" (Richmond, 1849; Phila-
delphia, 1859) ; " Some Materials for a Memoir of
John Daly Burk " (Albany, 1868) ; and " Genealogy
of the Spotswood Family." He was a member of
the Virginia historical society, a contributor to the
" Historical Register " and the " Southern Literary
Messenger," and edited the " Orderly Book " of Gen.
Andrew Lewis in 1776 (Richmond, "i860).
CAMPBELL, Charles Thomas, soldier, b. in
Franklin county, Pa., 10 Aug., 1823. He was edu-
cated at Marshall college, and on 18 Feb., 1847, be-
came second lieutenant in the 8th U. S. infantry. He
served through the Mexican war, becoming captain
in August, 1847, and was mustered out in August,
1848. In 1852 he was a member of the Pennsyl-
vania legislature. He was commissioned colonel
of the 1st Pennsylvania artillery in May, 1861, but
resigned in December, and was made colonel of the
57th infantry. He was wounded three times at
Fair Oaks, and twice at Fredericksburg, and a
horse was killed under him in each of these battles.
He was taken prisoner with his regiment, but they
succeeded in releasing themselves and carrying
back more than 200 of the enemy as captives. His
wounds, seven in number, necessitated a long and
tedious confinement in the hospital, and prevented
him from seeing any more active service. He was
promoted to brigadier-general on 13 March, 1863,
and after the close of the war removed to Dakota.
CAMPBELL. Cleveland J., soldier, b. in New
York city in July, 1836: d. in Castleton, N. Y., 13
June, 1865. He was graduated successively at the
free academy. Union college, and the University of
Gottingen. Early in the war he enlisted in the 44th
N. Y. volunteers, was soon promoted to be a lieuten-
ant on Gen. Palmer's staff, was next adjutant of the
152d N. Y. volunteers, then captain in Upton's 121st
N. Y. volunteers, and, after passing a most brilliant
examination, was commissioned lieutenant-colonel,
and finally colonel, of the 2od regiment of colored
troops. He led his regiment into the hottest of the
fight at Petersburg, when the mine exploded, and
left in and around the crater nearly 400 of his men,
killed or wounded. Col. Campbell himself received
injuries from a bursting shell that ultimately
caused his death. He was brevetted brigadier-gen-
eral of volunteers on 13 March, 1865.
CAMPBELL, Donald, British soldier, b. in Scotland about 1735; d. near Fort Detroit (now
Detroit, Mich.), in 1763. He became a lieutenant
in the " Royal American " regiment (then the 62d
foot) on 4 Jan., 1756. He was promoted to captain-
lieutenant in the same regiment, then the 60th
foot, and commanded by Sir Jeffrey Amherst, on
14 April, 1759, and on 29 Aug. became captain.
He had been acting major and commandant of
Fort Detroit, but had been succeeded by Maj,
Henry Gladwin. Maj. Campbell had gained the
confidence of the Indians by his fairness, and, dur-
ing the siege of the fort by Pontiac, offered to con-
fer with the latter at his request. Campbell ac-
cordingly set out, accompanied by Lieut. McDougal
and other Canadians. He had been several times
warned of treachery, and after his departure mes-
sengers were sent after him by M. Gonin, an old
and wealthy settler, urging him to return, but
without avail. After haranguing an assemblage
of impassable savages, he was about to return to
the fort, when Pontiac arose and said : " My father
will sleep to-night in the lodges of his red chil-
dren." The captives were shielded by the chief
from the fury of the Indians, who wovdd have
killed them, and were protected for some time;
but Pontiac refused to give them up at Maj. Glad-
win's demand. McDougal finally managed to es-
cape, but Campbell, being able neither to run nor
to see plainly, could not get away. Finally Was-
sin, an Ojibway chief, whose nephew had been
killed in a skirmish and scalped by the British,
seized Campbell, and he was put to death with
torture. The savages are said to have torn out his
heart and eaten it, that they might gain courage.
Pontiac is said by some to have consented to tiiis
outrage, but is exculpated by others. See Park-
man's " Conspiracy of Pontiac " (Boston, 1855), and
Maj. Rogers's " Diary of the Siege of Detroit,"
edited by Franklin B.' Hough (Albany, 1860).
CAMPBELL, Duncan R., clergyman, b. in
Perthshire, Scotland, 14 Aug., 1814 ; d. in Coving-
ton, Ky., 16 Aug., 1865. He was educated for the
Presbyterian ministry. Emigrating to the United
States in 1842, he settled in Richmond, Va., where
he became a Baptist, and accepted a pastorate. He
afterward removed to Kentucky, and, was elected
professor of Hebrew and biblical literature in the
theological seminary at Covington. In 1852 he be-
came president of Georgetown college, and ably
discharged the duties of that office until his death.
The degree of LL. D. Avas conferred upon him.
