[22] A Union man, who was also an elder of a Presbyterian Church,
was grieved to hear its bell joining with merriest notes in the
chorus of song. He sought with speed to know the reason, and found a
citizen of good social position, whose intimate relations were more
with this present world than with that which is to come, had got into
the Church by a window, and was vigorously applying his gentlemanly
muscle on the rope that led to the steeple.

[33] NOTE.--The Comte de Paris charges “guilty neglect” upon Foster:
that while he halted his column under the pretext of allowing his
men time to rest, he sent on the road to Henderson’s Mill the Fifth
Indiana Regiment, through which the Confederate troops easily opened
a way.--_The Civil War in America, Vol. 4._
[34] Gen. Grant, in his “Personal Memoirs” (see Vol. II., page 49)
puts the force with which Longstreet left Chattanooga “to go against
Burnside at about fifteen thousand troops, besides Wheeler’s cavalry,
five thousand men.” For Longstreet’s mind as to the situation, see
Appendix, Note R.
