Experience of a Confederate Chaplain—Rev. A. D. Betts, 30th N. C. Regiment
    

Town and country around desolated by war. Sick and wounded Federals in town.

Aug. 30—Men wade Rapidan, and I drink of it. Pass Cedar Run, where there had been a hard fight August 9. Robert Henderson, a venerable old man, had been arrested. As our men passed his gate he said with tears, “God preserve you, my boys!” Pass Culpepper C. H. Town and country around desolated by war. Sick and wounded Federals in town.
