Campbell.--Another watchman has laid down his armor. The Rev. James Campbell died at his nephew's in Franklin county on Tuesday, the 18th inst. He had been a member of the Tennessee Presbytery for more than forty years. He was licensed and ordained by it, and retained his fellowship with it until his death. Truly a good man in Israel has fallen. Brother Campbell was earnest and consecrated to the Master's service. Eternity alone will reveal the good he has accomplished. He entered the ministry under the most unfavorable surroundings--advanced in life, a man of a family, without the rudiments of an education, and very poor withal--but he possessed an element of great power, and one that usually brings success, his untiring energy, the result of will power, which he possessed in an eminent degree; the word fail was not in his vocabulary. We, as a presbytery, will miss him, for he was a faithful one among us, but his loss we will not deplore for the Master called for him.
                                                                                                       W. B. WATTERSON.
