TIE REPORT OF THE FALL OF PIE.
TERSBURG.

1t will be seen by a Baltimore dispatch in
another column that the news of the fall ol
Petersburg, furnished us yesterday by the As
sociated Press agent in this city, and dated
Fortress Monroe, was premature.
1t was probably cooked up in Baltimore the
same as the report of the capture of Fltzhugh
Lee was, few days since, and given to the
readers Of the American of that city, with a
flourish OF capitals. The american is not the
most reliable paper in the country.
We have official authority for asserting that
the city OF Petersburg was not in possession
OF our troops at eight O'Clock yesterday morn.
Ing That it soon would, not doubt was en-.
icrtained yesterday at the headquarters of Gen.
