Petersburg was occupied by our troops at
o'clock this Monday morning. Our gunboats
are well up James river, and it was thought
fight had taken place with the rebel iron clads.
Large fires were seen up James river last night,
towards Fort Darling.
An immense number of prisoners have been
captured, variously estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000. e dissd ~ -d'
Prisoners are continually arriving at City
Point, and it is e.timated that there were 49,
600 there this morning. When the Dictator
left at 10 A. M, a salute was firing by all the
war vessels at that point.
The steamer Cossack also arrived to-day,
with a large number of Union prisoners, in
Guiding Gen. Mclaughlin, and men of his
brigade, captured with him by the rebels in
the assault of Fort Steadman.
Such was the haste of the rebels I'm bringing
Union prisoners through Richmond on Sunday
that in many cases many of them were not
even paroled. Five hundred of seven hundred
on board the Cossack never signed parole.
These released prisoners say that in coming

MR.. CARL KREB's concert last evening at
City Hall drew quite large audience and
gave excellent satisfaction. He made his
clarionet discourse fine music, and thoroughly
tested all its powers. His tone is good, and
his execution admirable. Miss Bates and Mr..
Morgan rendered their parts in fine style; and
their Duet from Donizetti was sweetly sang
Their voices blended harmoneousy, and their
hearts must have beat in unison; for their
time was excellent, and good expression was
given to the piece. The orchestra was in good
tune and time, and their performances were
very acceptable. But we enter gentle pro-
test against polkas in a concert. We scarcely
ever knew one that professed more than one
idea and half, however long it may be
played. Carl Krebs' Obligato was musical
gem of the first water. On the whole, the
concert was entirely satisfactory, and afforded
fine musical entertainment for an evening.
