The following is the conclusion OF the
Baltimore Americans account Of recent
affairs before Richmond:
WASHINGTON, June 30.
Since closing my letter from the
White House find myself in Washing

and other points on the Peninsula near

out was in our possession until o'clock

This wns the signal gwen for final evLc-

The enemy made his appearance In

although he neither fund bread for men,

PmLAnrLrnIA, June 30,
The correspondent OF the Baltimore
American arrives NJ the following con-
clusion;-Tho object ofGen. Mcclellan
was to abandon the White House and
draw IN the right wing of his army across
the Chickahominy, which he has accom-
plished with but little loss in comparison
with the punishment bestowed on the en-.

oncd his position by contraciing.his mes
and charging his base of operations to
the James river, where he will have the
cooperation OF the gunboats, aud il the
enemy attempt to interrupt his supply
vessels by making dash ON James river,
they will meet with prompt punishment
from the gunboats aud SO weaken their
forces in front of Richmond that the city
will fall into his hands with but slight
struggle.
NEw YoRK, June 30.
There is a rumor that some officers of
MoClellan's army say that during the re-
treat of the right wing Mcclellan advanc.

ty eminencc, where large quantity of
charcoal is being used to heat hot shot

striking distance Of the city.
RumOr also says that Burnside has
landed in the rear of Fort Darling and all
bis available troops were ready to attack
| it.
An officer gives the report that Rich.
mond is already on fire. from hot shot,
These reports are given without vouch-
ing for their oredbilty.
