Read Carleton McCarthy's Detailed Minutae of Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Virginia - it's all you'll need on that or just about anything else about the life of the "common" Confederate soldier! McCarthy was a member of the Richmond Howitizers but he was there and saw it all for all branches of the service. Back when I was actively reenacting I found it extremely helpful.
