LETTER FROM PETERSBURG.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
PErsasBune, November Is. 1864

-ae PETERSBURG, November Is, 1866.
About half-past IL o'clock this morning
the cry of fire was heard, when it was dis
: covered that old Phoenix Hall was in flames.
The firemen were early on the spot, but
could only succeed by the most strenuous
efforts in saving the contiguous houses, two
or three Of which took fire. The danger
! for one hour was so imminent that all the
movable property in these houses was
taken out, and, as is usual in such cases,
very much injured. The hall was of large
! size, and contained much infammable ma
,terial; and the confagration was the most
magnificent we have had in this city for seye-
raj years. The owner, Mr.. Samuel Marks,
was insured in the sum of $4,000, which
. will not half cover his losses. Independ-
ent of the building, much valuable pro-
: perty was destroyed, among which was
7 $4,000 worth Of patterns suitable to his
profession Of ornamental plasterer and
/ moulder. q g.Gs .ns
1t is impossible to ascertain how the fire
originated. Harry Mccarthy had perform
ed the preceding evening, concluding about
4 10 O'Clock; but 1t is not supposed that it
could have been owing to any careiessness
on the part Of any Of his company. 1t may
have been the work of an incendiary.
Some Of the performers lost all their ward
robes. $50. L3 :
Phoenix Hall was very old building, as
may be inferred from the fact Of its being
situated at the extreme eastern part of the
city, within easy reach of Blandford. Since
Its erection the city has almost left it, but
II has continued to be used on frequent oc-
casions both for theatrical performances
/ and political discussions. 1t was burned
down about 1913, and rebuilt in 1851. The
subject Of building new theatre has been
spoken Of for some time, and the present
would be good time to take some action
upon it.. The city is.yery much in need of
large central building adapted to popular
amusements. - =, ,
SIX criminal cases were disposed of
: IN the Circuit Court yesterday-all the
parties being negroes. Three were SEN
fenced TO the penitentiary for terms of
ono, two, and seven years: and the Others
- imprisonment in the city iail. one Cor
M months, and so on for shorter time.
