It was in the first pitched battle of the war (Manassas/Bull Run). There are two versions of the story.
It is known that a Confederate Brigadier called Barnard Bee shouted "There is Jackson, standing like a stone wall." He is then supposed to have shouted "Rally behind the Virginians!" In this version, he is praising Jackson for his courage.
In the other version, he is criticizing Jackson for not coming across to help his own brigade.
As Bee was mortally wounded later the same day, nobody was able to ask him which version was the true one. Everyone likes to think it was the first.
