Chapter 7: winter of 1861-62. The stationary condition of the armies during most of the winter gave the chaplains, and other pious laborers, fine opportunities for pressing religion on the attention of the soldiers. Along the Potomac, where the Army of Northern Virginia lay for the autumn and early part of the winter, religious services were held with encouraging signs. Rev. Joseph Cross, D. D., chaplain of the Walker Legion from Tennessee, writing of his labors, says: It is interesting to see how they flock to our nightly prayer-meetings, frequently in greater numbers than your Sabbath congregations in some of your city churches.

Such was often the sequel to a hard-fought battle during the war. Just when we expected to enjoy all the fruits of a victory, they were snatched from our grasp. On that field of blood death showed himself in most hideous forms. Rev. Dr. Joseph Cross, who was with General Bragg's army, thus describes the battle-field after the fight: Ah! how many expired with the year. Here they lie, friend and foe, in every possible position, a vast promiscuous ruin. They sleep their last sleep, they have fought their last battle; No sound can awake them to glory again.

s driven from the field and forced to take refuge behind entrenchments near Chattanooga. Rev. S. M. Cherry, one of the most faithful laborers among the soldiers of the Western army, gives an account of the blessed scenes that were witnessed among the wounded and dying men. Of the work of the chaplains he says: Dr. McFerrin was at Cleburne's Division hospital, where his son was, slightly wounded, and his nephew, Rev. John P. McFerrin, severely wounded, working with the sufferers. Dr. Cross, chaplain on Gen. Buckner's staff, was on the field and at the hospital. Bros. Mooney and Miller were at Stewart's Division hospital, active and industrious in attending to the wounded and dying. Dr. Petway came in good time to render efficient aid in the double capacity of surgeon and minister. I saw Brothers Burr and Browning on the field; also Brothers Quarles, Harris, A. W. Smith, Fitzgerald, Daniel, and others, looking after their wounded and suffering soldiers. Chaplain Willoughb
