Rienzi, Friday, Sept. 19. On roll call the Captain told us that Burnside had captured the whole of Longstreet’s command at Harpers Perry after their first capturing the place and the whole army under Colonel Miles. Three cheers were given with a spirit. No mail. Went after berries in the afternoon.
