was tremendous. It was a common saying that the sick men left in Barksdale's camp, when the brigade was away on duty, made more noise than any other full brigade in the army. The only comment I have to make upon this statement is that I cannot recall ever having seen ont of them sick or ailing in any way, except when suffering from hunger or from wounds. At times they seemed about as rough as the bears they had hunted, yet they were withal simple-minded and tender-hearted boys, and at Fredericksburg hundreds of them became Christians. I knew almost every man in the brigade and often attended their religious meetings. Many a time, after I became adjutant of our battalion of artillery, Col. H. C. Cabell's, as I galloped past their lines awaiting the order to charge, my heart has been cheered and strengthened by a chorus of manly voices calling after me, God bless you, Brother Stiles, and cover your head in the day of battle! How could I help loving these simple, brave, great-hea

But as the revival at Fredericksburg in the winter of 1862-1863 concerned especially the in Hoge, D. D., of the Presbyterian Church, written from Fredericksburg in the spring of 1863. Says Dr. Hoge: A rich blesom a letter written by my father just after he reached Fredericksburg: After my arrival we held three meetings a day — are than five hundred men professed conversion in these Fredericksburg meetings, and this statement is based upon careful figt before Chancellorsville to find the great revival at Fredericksburg in progress and a general condition of thoughtfulness the Rappahannock and Sedgwick was crossing in front of Fredericksburg. All of us were deeply stirred; and when night fell as of the drivers. We thought of the great meetings in Fredericksburg violently brought to a close, and of the great audienc

Chapter 12: between Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville Our mother and sisters arrive from the Norhe right. In the four or five months between Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, that is to say, between t very great importance which took shape between Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville was the organization of ouh banks of the Rappahannock River, at and below Fredericksburg, both before and after that battle. The communt was twelve miles or more from Deep Run, below Fredericksburg, where Sedgwick and Early opposed each other, te line of hills south of the Rappahannock, near Fredericksburg, was confronted by General Hooker, with the Arm, at Chancellorsville, about ten miles west of Fredericksburg. His purpose was now fully developed to Genera (Couch's) which had been left with Sedgwick at Fredericksburg. It was a critical position for the Confederatext morning we heard firing in the direction of Fredericksburg. It was very foggy, and we could see nothing,

To my astonishment, he made for a large tree, back of which anith our eight guns in action on that hill (the other eight had been left at Fredericksburg with Early) we could fairly blow up Chancellorsville. While I was saying ti, or rather of Barksdale's brigade — the real hero of the great revival at Fredericksburg. He, of course, had remained behind there, with his brigade, under the genrdered to draw out on the road, head of column to the rear, that is, toward Fredericksburg,--an order and movement which we all well understood,--when my attention wath, his eyes starting from their sockets, began to tell of dire disaster at Fredericksburg-Sedgwick had smashed Early and was rapidly coming on in our rear.

Longstreet; but his loyal devotion, his hardy courage, his native intellect, his mental training, his sagacity, his resource, his self-reliant, self-directing strength, were all very great, and the commanding general reposed the utmost confidence in him. This he indicated by selecting him so frequently for independent command, and to fill the most critical, difficult, and I had almost said hopeless, positions, in the execution of his own great plans; as for example, when he left him at Fredericksburg with nine thousand men to neutralize Sedgwick with thirty thousand. Later, he sent him to the Valley, with a very inadequate force, to occupy and embarrass the enemy and to prevent overwhelming concentration against the Confederate capital, where his operations indicated the highest ability. Early was in some respects a bundle of inconsistencies and contradictions; of religion and irreligion, of reverence and profanity. I have heard my father speak of the General's deep interest in
