P~HnIADrLPHIA. June 30-Ihe following is
tbe. conclusion OF the Baltimore AmerieaHs &C
court of the recent affairs before Richmond;
WAsmEGTOE, June 29-Sinee closing my
letter from the White House, find myself IN
Washington City, ard in possession OF most re-
Liable information from the White House ana
othsr points on the Peninsula generally, a day
later than Is contained IN my letter. Is appears
that ~te.egrephie communication between White
House AID Gen. Mcclellan was not broken IN
til near / o'clock Saturday, and then the wives
were cut at 8 station II miles cut.
TrusdalPs station, four miles out, was IN pcs
session until 4 O'Clock in the afternoon, at which
hour the operator at the White House heard q
strange signal coming over the wne. On going
to the instrument, il hailed with what Union
soldiers called the rebel national salute Say
Oh you Yankee" This was the signal given
for final evacuation, when q portion OF the IN
faatry embarked on steamboats, waiting for
them.
The last Of the transports were moved Oh BY
steam tugs, and a few articles scattered about
on shore, even some damaged hay, was fred.
The whole were Of very small value, aud thus
Of the many millions Of property here a few
days ago, perhaps FIVE hundred dollars worth
was destroyed.
In the midst Of this the White House was
fired and entirely consumed. The enemy made
his appearance in consd 3rable force at the
White House st about : O'Clock Saturday even
ing, and although he neither found bread for his
men, nor hay tor his beast, he was welcomed
with heavy showers of grapeshot from the guE-
boats, which were ranged along the front Of the
landing. The rebels were supposed TO be thirty
thousand strong.
The cavalry at the White House guarded The
departure of the last wagon and horses which
moved eff at the Federal evacuation, andjoincd
the forces Of Gen. ssonealsu, who were hover
ing in the vicinity.
After seeing their trains of, and securing
their entire safety, Gen. SLOVENIAN, with his
entire force, moved of in a direction that l am
not at liberty to state.
Gen. Casey reports he lost not a man, nor did
he leave q soul behind, not even q contrsband.
At 10 o'clock OF Saturday morning Col Inglass
and Capt. Butler were before Yorktown with ca
immense convoy Of vessels and steamers, or
their way to the new base Of operations on
Jame5 river. They would, doubtless, move
down Immediately to Fort Monroe and await
the instructions of Gen. Mcclellan. A number
are already up the James river under the prO-
lection of toe gunbosss.
Since an early hour on Saturday morning,
Gen. Mcclellan has been deprived Of a tele-
graphic communication with Washington. He
abandoned its use several hours before It was
cut, doubtless being fearful that the enemy
might, by placing q magnet on the wires, read
MS orders Direct communication with Gen.
Mcclellan is now being opened with the gun
boats up the mouth Of the Chickahominy.
PHILADELPHIA, June 30-The correspondent
Of the Baltimore dmerical arrives at the follow
ing conclusion The object of Gen. Mcclellan
was to abandon the White House, and draw in
the right wing Of his army across the Chieka-
hominy, which has been accomplished with but
little loss IN comparison with the punishment
bestowed upon the enemy.
Gen. Mcclellan has also strengthened his
position by contracting bis lines and changing
his base of operations to the James river. where
he viii have the co operation Of the gunboats,
andif the enemy attemp. to interrupt bis supply
vessels by making ssdash on james river, they
viii meet with prompt punishment from the
gunb0ats, and SO weaken their forces in front OF
Richmond that the city viii fall into bis hands
with but a Struggle
