ESCAPED PRIsoNERs.-Capt. Horace 81.
Burbank of Limerick, Co. K, 32d Maine, who
has recently been assigned to Co. B, OF the, 31st
Maine, arrived here yesterday from Washing
ton on bis way home.
Eel Capt. Burbank was taken prisoner on the
SOth of July last, at the explosion of the mine
at Petersburg. Lieut.. II. G.. Mitchell of this
city, Of Co. Il, 32d Maine, now Of Go. Il, 31st
maine, was also taken prisoner with him, and
'"es le'urned home In COMPANY.
.e. oelng captured they were taken to
DanVine' va, where they re NAMED only two
or three days, and from the nee were removed
to Columbia, s. @. At Columbia small RAJ
lions of meat were iss1ied 10 the nr;soners
during the month OF August, but none altar
that time. All the meat they obtained ,roo ~,
purchasing it. The rations were three, some
Times Tour, plnts of meal for five days, with
little salt and little sorghum. The prisoners
we're badly treated. Capt. Burbank and Lieut..
Mitchell being taken sick were removed TO
the hospital. An order came for their removsl
to Charlotte, and they with sixteen others in
that building planned an escape.
They managed by springing board in the
ceiling in closet to climb into garrett owe,
their room.' Taking with them their rations
and some meat they had purchased, they re-
NAMED hid for two days. On the night OF the
second day they ventured out, and passed the
pickets on the north side of the city. In do
ing so two OF the party were shot and one was
captured. The escaped prisoners had an idea
that Sherman was on the Southern side of the
city, and after passing the pickets they made
half the circuit OF the city and joined sber-
mans army, where they were received with
open arms both by officers and soldiers. Thev
neps with Sherman's army until it reached
yos.eshe,a march of IT'S miles, then took

Max Strakosch's Concert.

This Concert came off last evening at CaFy
Hall before brilliant and appres'ss.se auoi-
dence. Much has been said in the New York
and Roston ;onrna,s of these artists, and pub
lie expectation ran high. Out we peheve Inc
music fully came up to these manitcs'oes anu
so,;seod The most critical and even fastidious.
IT, hrothers, Max and Maurice Strakosch,
- unite talent and tact for hunting the
ND over for tho most accomplished artists,
and they are generally successful. This fresh
importation OF musical talent will not lessen
their reputation for such enterprises.
Md'lle Helene de Katow is very fine look
ing lady, possesses pleasing, expressive coun
tenance, rounded, symmetrical form, an
handsome arms and hands. The violoncello,
her fayorite instrument, is one of great power
and capable, in tie hands of an accomplished
artistic, of producing the sweetest and most
sympathetic music. And we can say with
emphasis that Helene de Katow plays 1t with
great skill. She produces the most sweet and
tender tone which cannot fail to touch the
heart of every hearer. Her intonation cannot
well be improved upon by any artist, and her
"stops" are admirable, showing perfect use
of the bow and the most delicate touch of tie
fngers. Her execution is neat and brilliant,
aud the music she draws from her chosen in
strument is of the highest order.
Mr.. James n. Wehli is beyond question, a
first class pianist, and need not fear to play
before any audience however critical or learn.
ed it may be. As an executant he is truly
wonderful. His fingers have been SO we'll
trained and so faithfully educated that both
hands seem to be right ones. His left hand
mechanism is perfect, and it is quite possible
he has not an equal in the world so far as
lett hand performance is concerned. The pi-
ano-forte is not our favorite instrument for
solo music. 1t is so purely mechanical that it
is difficult to breathe any soul into it, aud yet
it has its proper place in the musical world
Mr.. Wehli draws upon all its powers and makes
it do its best. His tone is beautiful, brilliant,
round and powerful. Even in the most rapid
passages every note could be distinctly heard
by the attentive and well educated ear, and in
his more powerful passages where much force
Is required, the same clear and distinct ar
ticulation is observed. His own compositions
show that he is no ordinary musical genius
They have soul in them. Mr.. Wehli no doubt
belongs to the first class of pianists now on
she worlds stage.
The vocal parts were well rendered. Miss
Harris has voice Of great compass and Gesi
bility, and glides over rapid and chromatic
passages like bird. Signor -Poulecchi pc s.
sesses strong vocal organ and sings with
spirit and power. The citizens of Portland
are under obligation to Mr.. Strakosch for civ.
ing them such excellent music. This evening
the same performers will appear again at City
Hall with new programme. These who at
tended last evening will be the best advertis
ers, for all were highly gratifed. We expect
to see the hall crowded this evening.

Petroleum Petrolaum,

MR.. EDIToR:-Permit me one word with
the writer Of the article in your paper of the
18th, signed public" The writer of that
article assumes that all oil stocks now being
offered to the public are worthless hunbuqs,
and one would certainly infer from his article
that no oil had ever been produced. and that
the name of Petroleum is a myth Now what
are the facts? Con. Curtin of Pennsylvania
recently stated at public meeting, that the
oil produced in Pennsylvania in twelve
months was sold at The ,cells for 5000 600,
and the iron and coal Of the State produced
only s51, 100000.
These figures were up to JAN, 1865. Five
hundred and lorty oil companies formed, rep
resenting capital in gross, of three hundred
and ffty-four millions of dollars, while the re-
ceipts of the oil wells of Pennsylvania alone
will pay dividend of 10 per cent. on five
hundred millions Of dollars. Certainly this
does not look like being all humbug.
4 The present yield OF oil amounts TO between
six and ten thousand barrels per day. There
was exported abroad of this oil in
Nine months of 1862, 6,945 500 gallons
y ~ 'i. ." &c 1853, q, 743O49
1854, 2S,76eO31
In the last year, 1864, the shipments of oil,
crude and refined, have added to the wealth
OF TINS country sEvENTY-sIx MILLIONS IN
GOLD doing more to keep down exchange
ana goid than any other product Of our vast
Countrywide the revenue to the Govern
ment has been Immense. The revenue tax is
now one dollar per barrel besides tax on the
oarreis' &C., and it will no doubt yield the
government revenue this year of more than
million OF dollars. Are we suppor ting the
government in trying to cut off its revenue ?
