Sunday, 21st—It is still raining. We remained in our bivouac all day. Some of the troops are moving toward Washington for the grand review. News came that Jefferson Davis had been captured by General Wilson at a small place in Georgia, called Irwinville, in the county of Irwin.[1]
[1] The capture was effected on May 10th by Lieutenant-Colonel Prltchard, of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, a detachment of General James H. Wilson’s cavalry.—Ed.
