Lynchburg (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 7
An anecdote of Gen. Ewell. --In the course of the address by Governor Smith, in Lynchburg, Va., on Saturday night last, he told the following anecdote of Gen. Ewell: During the hero Jackson's lifetime, Gen. Ewell was wont to remark that Jackson could do the praying and he could do the swearing, and that the two together could whip the devil. After Gen. Ewell lost a leg, the light of the Gospel shed its benign influence over his spirit, and he became a Christian. Under the influence of this new feeling, he found the enemy heavily entrenched at Winchester. He said that he felt averse to exposing his "poor boys" to the deadly slaughter certain to result from an attack on the works. He retired to his tent, and there spent a time in prayer to the throne of Grace. It seemed then, said he afterwards to Gen. Smith, as if a sudden fear got hold of the enemy, and he abandoned his works without a fight. The hand of God is visible in this.
