Killed and wounded in the late battle.
--The Lynchburg Virginian says:
‘
We regret to see that many of our acquaintances in the counties of
Frederick,
Jefferson and
Berkeley, were either killed or wounded in the
battle at Bull Run.
Our gallant friend, Alex'r.
R. Boteler, than whom a more chivalric son of the
South does not live, served as a private in the company of his friend and neighbor,
Dr. V. M. Butler, and was wounded in the action.
Mr. Boteler was one of the first to shoulder his musket when
Harper's Ferry was threatened, both in the
Brown invasion and at the commencement of the present struggle.
The
Captain Avis who is killed was the jailor at
Charlestown during
John Brown's imprisonment there; and
Captain G. W. Chambers, of
Harper's Ferry, was the man who shot
Aaron D. Stephens.
Braver men than both these never drew a sword, and they each rendered service in
Mexico.
