 Early on the morning of the battle , Lee met with his lieutenants , including Maj. Gens . James Longstreet , A. P. Hill , Thomas " Stonewall " Jackson , John Magruder and D. H. Hill . D. H. Hill , after talking with a chaplain familiar with the geography of Malvern Hill , cautioned against mounting an attack . " If General McClellan is there in strength , " Hill said , " we had better let him alone . " Longstreet laughed off Hill 's objections , saying " Don 't get so scared , now that we 've got him [ McClellan ] whipped . "
