Are you playing with hardened attrition?
Whoops. That might have been it. It was a couple infantry regiments and a cavalry. Never even considered that they might be elite. Is it also intentional that Beauregard's army HQ starts off understrength and requires replacements to bring up to full?
Another confusing thing (my knowledge of the war is VERY shakey) is that now that I think about it, in my full war campaign game, General Beauregard's command started in Richmond as "Army of the Potomac". It was only after I disbanded then reformed it did it get named "Army of Northern Virginia".
