Colonel William Preston Johnston, The Life of General Albert Sidney Johnston : His Service in the Armies of the United States, the Republic of Texas, and the Confederate States., Chapter 37: the end. (search)
such books as the chaplain put into their hands. The event was Polk's entire satisfaction, followed by his joining the church, and determination to leave the army for the ministry, which he did. Though General Johnston paid small attention to dogmatic theology, it has been seen that he was deeply impressed with certain fundamental religious truths, and that his religious aspirations were simple, as they were fervent and direct. During General Johnston's residence at Austin, the Rev. Edward Fontaine was the Episcopal minister at that place. He was a gentleman of culture, of military education (I believe), and of great zeal and enthusiasm. He saw a good deal of General Johnston, and, after his death, published some reminiscences of him in the Jackson Mississippian, from which the following has been clipped: If I were selected by the South to award the palm of merit to the most worthy of all the illustrious dead who compose the noble army of martyrs who died in defe

h brought me back two antiquated hens, and a pound of fresh butter, without a cent to spare, as he solemnly swore! There is no such thing as making one joint serve twice — it doesn't suit them; and if you preach economy, the villains grumble without end, and think you are stingy, or, what is worse, whisper that Massa's gettin‘ like de Yankees, now he's up Norf! There's Benton yonder, singing a song among the pots, said another; for two months he regularly went over the fields to Dr. Edward's, and asked for milk and butter for the sick, and on returning to camp sold the former at one dollar fifty cents per gallon, and the butter at one dollar per pound! His master was enraged when informed of it, and made his hide tingle, for he is well treated and has enough to spend. Besides, these fellows not only cook for us, but hire themselves out to different messes, and what with charging the poor boys ten cents each for washing a pair of socks or a handkerchief, bartering, buying w

indicated a withdrawal from the front of Longstreet's corps. Late in the afternoon, under the impression that General Grant had actually begun another flanking movement, General Lee ordered that all the artillery on the left and center that was difficult of access should be withdrawn from the lines, and that everything should be in readiness to move during the night if necessary. Under this order, General Long, Ewell's chief of artillery, removed all but two batteries from the line of General Edward McCool's in 1884. McCool's Farm-House, within the bloody angle, Spotsylvania.

This point had been held because it was a good position for artillery, and if

M., the Pawnee was seen standing in; I boarded her, and informed her commander of my orders to offer to send in provisions, and asked him t
