A Scene In the Cnnp of the Georgia Bat
talion.
Camp Lee, Va., May 19, 1861.
Editors Telegraph :—The morniDg^ram hid
beat the ^assembly to Divine service, and
•ne by one the four companies in military
order had marched with camp etoole to the
spot eete{nrtfor worship. It was a spot long
used for such holy pnrpoeee. A venerable aud
moss-covered building, whose erection dates,
It is said, prior to the Revolution, in which
ihe Virgioians of the days of Washington and
Loe bail worshipped, stood in the foreground.
Age;had rendered it unfit for use, but still itre
oiaiued a relio of a noble age. Magnificent enks
nbosejgreat' six# and far spreading branch
es, dated far back in the last century, crept
their shadows around those ancient walls, aod
afforded a temple at once noble and grand un
der whioh to offer praise.
The eoene—the military array, the dilapi
dated oburoh, the waving boughs of those
venerable trees, the gentle wind that sighed
their foliage, the distant booming of the guns
heard upon the coast contributed io make an
impression never to be erased. The Chaplain
commenced the eervioe; singing and prayer
had been finished, the text announced. The ex
ordium of the eloquent divine gave token
of a sermon of love and faith in store for
the audience, when an officer is seen to burry
to the commander from the outskirts of the
congregation. Soon the captains of compa-
panies are summoned to a hasty council.—
They return ; the chaplain ceases ; the short,
sharp command, “ Attention, City Light
Guards—forward march,” and one hundred as
true soldiers as are in the South spring to
their feet, and in a few moments, with knap
sack and musket, are marching to meet the
foe.
A thousand busy thoughts and surmises fill
our minds, but military discipline prevails.—
We anxiously wait the conclusion of the ser
vices, are marched to oar quarters, and there
are dismissed with orders to be ready to march
at the beat of the drum. The| tents of the
City Guards still stand untenanted, end as we
write we are sitting with listening ears to
catch the first sharp roll of the battle that
Georgians have inaugurated in tho old Domin
ion.—Macon Telegragh. A. M. 8.
Letter From Hon. John A. Campbell.
Montgomery, Alabama, \
May 11, 1861. /
Dear Sir: A friend hat sent me two arti
cles from your paper, in which you iusist that
some explanation or vindication of my con
duct relative to the holding and resigning of
office of Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States is due to my friends
and myself.
Having considered that my course wae the
natural and almost necessary result of my po
sition and its relations, I have not supposed
that it afforded matter for praise or blame, or
that it required any explanation or vindica
tion.
The act of secession of Alabama found the
Supreme Court nearly half advanced in its an
nual eeesion and engaged in the performance
of those weighty duties in whioh personal and
oorporale interests were involved, aod the
rights of foreigners, sovereign Stales of tbs
Union, as well as of the Government, were im
plicated. On the last day of the Conn, (4th
March,) cases from Alabama, Louisiana, Tex
as, among others, and a esse between Ken-
lucky and Ohio, were decided. It did not
oomport with any opinion that I had been
able to form of my duty to the Chief Justice
and the associate members of the Supreme
Court, or to the Court itself, ss a department
of the Government, to withdraw the labor,
support, responsibility and strength which
had been committed to me, or whioh 1 oould
impart to that venerable tribunal under the
exieting ciroumetances. I remained in the
Court conformably to ao opinion coeval with
the decision to resign as a consequence of the
accession of Alabama, and to whioh 1 have
steadily adhered.
After the adjournment of the term of the
Court there wae judicial business, of impor
tance, but of subordinate importance, to be
disposed of; there were objections to my re
sighatioo, on principle, from the members of
the Supreme Court, and from men wboae char
acter and counsel merited respect and defer
ence—statesmen from Virginia, Kentucky,
Maryland, Tennessee and North Carolina —
And there was every reason to suppose that
my holding of the office might enable me to
contribute something towards securing the
great blessing of peaoe and of averting from
the oounlry (he direst of evils, eivil war. 1
have used every energy to accomplish these
most desirable ends, end when it became ap
parent that 1 could do no more 1 resigned— as
a consequence of the secession of the Stale of
Alabama. And 1 take this occasion to say
that my conduct has the sanction of the Chief
Justice and the Judges of the Court and the
approbation of my owe coaecienoe.
Respectfully, yours,
J. A. CAMPBELL.
