Campbell (April 4, 1833-February 13, 1899) was editor and part owner of the Wheeling  Daily Intelligencer  newspaper and a leader in the West Virginia statehood movement. He was the nephew of Alexander Campbell, founder and first president of Bethany College and a founder of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Archibald Campbell was born in Steubenville, Ohio. He spent most of his childhood in Bethany, West Virginia, and attended Bethany College, graduating in 1852. He then attended Hamilton College Law School in Clinton, New York, graduating in 1855. He moved to Wheeling in spring 1856 to take a job at the  Daily Intelligencer . In the fall of 1856, he and John F. McDermot purchased the paper and Campbell became editor.","Campbell was a member of the fledgling Republican Party, and editorials in his paper favored Republican causes, especially the abolition of slavery and preservation of the Union. The  Intelligencer  was the only Republican daily paper in Virginia and the only paper in the state to endorse Abraham Lincoln for the presidency in 1860. Campbell strongly opposed Virginia's secession from the United States. He supported the creation of the Reorganized Government of Virginia, and he worked hard, through his editorials and behind the scenes, for the formation of the new state of West Virginia. President Lincoln appointed Campbell postmaster of the Wheeling Post Office in 1861. According to Campbell's daughter, Jessie Campbell Nave, it was he who wrote the text of the telegram (sent by Governor Pierpont) that reputedly convinced President Lincoln to sign the West Virginia statehood bill.","In Campbell's later years, he retired from the newspaper and traveled extensively. He died of a stroke at the home of a sister in Webster Groves, Missouri.","This historical note is based on an article in the  West Virginia Encyclopedia .","Papers of Archibald W.

Prior to the start of the Civil War, Carrington practiced law in Pittsylvania County before assuming a variety of staff and administrative level positions within the Confederate Army. In 1863, he was appointed to the role of Commissioner of Prisoners in Richmond by the Confederate Congress and in 1864 was named Provost Marshall by the Confederacy's Secretary of War. As Provost Marshall, Carrington was responsible for issuing and approving travel passes for all individuals including Confederate soldiers, leaving the city of Richmond. Following the end of the Civil War, Carrington was a member of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors from 1873-1875, and returned to practicing law, including serving as president of the Richmond Bar Association from 1886-1887. Carrington passed away on January 30, 1887 at the age of 59 and is buried in Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery.","Chartered in 1834, the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad Company began train service from Richmond in 1836 and was extended north to Fredericksburg in 1837. By 1861, Virginia had the most extensive rail system in the South and the lines in and around Fredericksburg played an active role in the Civil War, with lines north of the city under Union control and lines south of the city under control of the Confederacy. The extent and efficiency of the railroads allowed for larger and more rapid troop movements across the state and determined the locations of a number of major battles. The collapse and general disrepair of the Southern railroads that developed by 1864, including those in Virginia, contributed to the Confederacy's defeat.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in June 2024.
