Thought this might be of interest:

On the morning of November 7, 1863, the Yankees shelled the men at Racoon Ford quite heavily. The Division was hurried forward towards the ford expecting the Federals to attempt to cross the river. The 5th Alabama was in line of battle just to the right of the road, and General Early and his Staff were near the side of the road just in their rear. When the shelling stopped, four or five Chaplains passed through the 5th Alabama’s line and went down to the ford. While they were there, the Yankees opened fire on the Confederates again and the Chaplains rapidly scurried up the hill. General Early, who seemed to have an aversion for religion, called out in his usual shrill voice, “Where the hell are you men going?” They replied that they were Chaplains and they were moving to the rear. The General said, “Yes, you have been trying to get to Heaven for thirty years, here is a chance to get there in a minute, and you will not accept it.” General Early thought the army was no place for Chaplains.
