Capture of a portion of the Monitor's crew.eight of the enemy killed. Petersburg, May 19.
--Eighteen of the Monitor's crew came ashore at 3 o'clock this afternoon at City Point, and were surprised, upon landing, by the Confederate pickets and ordered to surrender.
Nine of them, including four officers, laid down their pistols and outlanded.
The others rushed to the small boat, and pulled for the Monitor.
Eight of them were killed; the remaining one lost an arm. The Monitor opened fire with a heavy gun, and prevented the capture of the boat and the survivor.
Nine of the prisoners reached here at half-past 6 o'clock, and marched through Sycamore street to Gen. Huger's headquarters, surrounded by a great crowd.
One of the officers is the Paymaster; the other are midshipmen.
None of the Confederates were hurt.
