g. Very seldom, if ever, did troops in their first battle go so close to a covered line under so strong a fire and remain within such short distance so long a time. On no part of the line did the enemy leave their cover or advance one single foot. Our troops held their position until it was too dark to distinguish friend from foe.

The President of the Confederacy and all in authority under him, the governors of all the States, and the people with them, promoted every enterprise by financial and personal aid and by giving whatsoever of opportunity and liberty may have been practicable in war, in order to secure the direct religious welfare of soldiers and citizens. This survey of the general spirit of the government a
