e 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 FV. M. Butler, and was wounded in the action.

The battle was one of the hardest fought of the war. The Hon. Alex'r R. Boteler, in a speech made here last night, just after his arrival from the army. stated that it was estimated that our losses would not exceed in killed, wounded, and missing, 5,000--while that of the enemy was estimated at 20,000. There was no fowed up our victory we could not have pursued the enemy because there was but one road, and that was strongly fortified by the enemy, and we could not follow them through the mountains. Whilst I am writing loud calls are made for the Hon. Mr. Boteler, who made a short, but good speech.
