FROM ALABAMA-
Capt. Eugene Blackford, son of Wm. M. Blackford, of this place, reached here
yesterday with a company organized at Clayton, Al. The company numbers 100 strong and is called
the Barbour Grays. Capt. Blackwood is
but 22 years of age and graduated at Lynchburg
College about three years
since. Thus do Virginians everywhere
respond to the call of their glorious old mother. Lynchburg
College, too, is well
represented in the army, it having furnished a considerable number of the
officers now in service.
