WARRINGTON, April 4.
A passenger who left City Point early
yesterday morning says: Lste on Sunday
night our men commenced laying rail
road track from PiIkin's station to Peters
burg, a distance of three miles, and also
began throwing bridges over the river, the
former ones having been destroyed. The
work now in progress will establish COM
plete line ten miles from City Point to
Petersburg. Only few hours are required
to establish telegraphie communication
with all points.
Very little property was destroyed by
the rebels in Petersburg, who, during Sun
day night made hasty retreat.
1t was supposed that Lee was ende9vor-
ing to escape by way of the Dsnville rail-
road and portion of our army was fol-
lowing in that direction. No particulars
had been received up TO the hour the pas
senger left City Point.
Correspondence from City Point states
that Lse has divided the remnant of his
army and is retreating in two small col
umns.
Our prisoners at noon yesterday, ex-
ceeded q, 900.
The rebel destruction of property on
their retreat literally beggars description.
Stragglers and deserters are much in excess
of what was anticipated.

The mail steamer Dictator arrived from
City Point at 30 this evening, and brings
additional particulars of the grest struggle
Petersburg was occupied by our own
troops at 3 o'clock on Monday morning.
Our gunbosts were all well up the James
river, and it was thought that a fight had
taken place with tho rebel iron clsds.
Large fires were seen up the James river
last night, towards Fort Darling, and in
the vicinity of other rebel works, from
which it was inferred that Lee was aban-
doning his fortifcstions and retreating
from his long established Lines. An i'm
mense numbsT Of prisoners have been csD-
tured, variousiy estimated at from 10 TO
$1,000.
Prisoners are continually arriving st
City Point, and it was estimated there were
15,C coo there. This morning whsn the
Dictator left salute was being fred by all
the war vessels at the Point.
The steamer Cosssck arrived here today
with large number of Union prisoners,
including General Mclaughlin and the
men of his brigade captured with him by
the rebels in their assault on Fort Stead
man.
Such was the haste of the rebels in hlr-
rying the Union prisoners through Rich
mond on Sunday that in many cases they
we're not even paroled.
The returned prisoners say that in COM
ing through Richmond on Sunday they
saw manifest indications of the evacuation
of the city. The streets were alive with
p ople of all classes, conditions and ages,
manifesting intense excitement.
All the Union prisoners in Libby pris-
on were ordered to be exchanged by the
rebel authorities, and were hurried through
the city towards the Varina landing in the
greatest possible haste.

MOVEMENT AGAINST SAVANNAH

NEW YORK, April 4.

NhW IUhhi ApIII T.
The Commercial says it is reasonable to
suppose that we may soon hear of a move
ment against Augusta, up the Savannah
river.
Immediately after Shermsn's departure
q line of couriers was established between
Augusta and Columbia, and by this means
communication was re-estsblished between
Richmond and the western portion of the
Confederacy. The enemy have doubtless
opened communication directly across the
country. The occupation of Augusta is
necessary to complete the isolation of
Western Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sIppi.

WILSON STATION, Va, April 4.
Hon, E. NJ Stanton:
The army is pushing forward in the
hope of Overtsking or dispersing the 1e-
mAinder of Lees army. Sheridan's cav
airy and the 9th corps are between this
aud the Appomattox. General Meade
and the2d and 9Th corps are following Ord
along the line of the southside R. 4. All
of the enemy that retains anything like or
ganizstion have gone north of Appomattox
and apparently heading for Lynchburg.
Their losses have been very heavy. The
houses through the country are nearly all
used as hospitals for the wounded. In
every direction I hear of rebel soldiers
pushing for home, some in large and some
in small squads, and generally without
arms. Our cavalry pursued them so close
ly that the enemy have been forced to de-
stroys great part of their transportation,
caissons and munitions of war. The
number of prisoners captured yesterday,
exceeds 1000. From the 2sth of March 10
the present time, our loss in killed, wound
ed and captured, will not, probably,
reach 1000, of whom from 500 to 1000
were captured, and many but slightly
wounded.
We shall continue the pursuit as long as
there appears to be any use of it.

Railroad speculation was buoyant az the

further large advance on some of the
leading shares, while the whole market was
much stronger. There was a perfect rush
for stocks and large business was done,
especially in cash stocks. Government
gold bonds frmer, especially 5-2Os Out OF
town orders continue liberal. State bonds
and bank shares continue dull. Coal and
miscellaneous shares were all strong and
higher. Gold speculation gained strength
as the day advanced, and touched the
highest point of the morning. Cash gold
is worth about one half per cent. more than
regular. The demand for money is e1-
