A Great Battle Near
Richmond.
A GREAT UNION VICTORY.
OUR DISPATCHES SUPPRESSED.

New YORK, June 29.-We have won the
grandest military triumph of the age. Rich
mond must fall. Hurrah!
BALTIMORE AMERICAN OFFICE, BALTIMORE
June 20, 8 P. MI am writing for the Ameri-
can detailed account of the events at White
House, before Richmond, and on the PENN
sula, during the last four days, including facts
obtained from Washington, having been sent
for by special train to communicate with the
president.
If you desire it and will give due credit,
l will send it to you. 1t will make four or
five thousand words. We have the grandest
military triumph over the enemy and Rich
mond must fall C. C. FULTON.
BALTIMORE, June 29-11 p. M.-The sec
rotary of war decides that nothing can be tel
egraphed relative to affairs on the peninsula.
We have tried our best to get it off.
c. C. Fulton,
Agent Associated Press.
New YORK, June 29.-I have telegraphed
to Col. Sanford that it is a gross outrage on
the press and public if we don't get the report
tonight, and if no good results therefrom, |
shall try to appeal to the president. 1 am
afraid the dispatch will be suppressed, how
ever.
2. S.-Our Washington agent says there is
no probability of getting more news from be-
fore Richmond tonight. The Baltimore and
Philadelphia press have undoubtedly received
all the news, and will, l think, print it all in
the morning.
New YORK, June 80, One o'clock O. m.-
No reply has been received from the messages
requesting even small item of the affairs
transpiring before Richmond for the Informal
ton of the public. The messages were sent
by the general agent of the associated press
to both the military supervisor and to the
president. The telegraph lines from this
point to all points south whence information
relative to the late great battle at Rich
mond can by any possibility be obtained,
have been ordered open all night, and should
the secretary of war be prevailed upon to al
low the public, through its true exponent, the
press, to receive any news of this great bat
tie, it will be transmitted Immediately. Still
there is small hope of our being allowed thus
to furnish the most important information,
judging from past experience. A reply, how
ever, from president Lincoln is expected, pro-
vided the messages are not tempered with,
which, if received, will be duly forwarded.
REPORTER.
WASHINGTON, June 30 A. M.-The city
is full of exciting rumors of severe fighting
at Richmond which are believed, but no re-
liable intelligence has TRANSFERRED.
New YORK, June 80, I-2 A. M.-Rumors
are current here that there has been four days
fighting at Richmond that jackson reinforced
johnson, and fell on and turned our right
wing, but that Gen. Mcclellan by mastery
maneuver threw portion of the left to its
support and defeated the enemy. This led
to a general fight, in which artillery was
prominent, and the rebels were defeated and
driven, and our troops followed up their adj
vantage and took Richmond.
These are rumors, but the fact that Mr.
Fulton editor of the Baltimore American,
states in the only dispatch he is allowed to tel
egraph by the secretary of war and military
censor, that the greatest military victory of
the age has been achieved, gives a color of
truth to such rumors.
The prohibition of the transmission of Mr..
Fulton's account of the battle, or even def
mite statement of its results, undoubtedly
arises from the fact that no official report has
been received from Gen. Mcclellan at the war
department, but it appears extraordinary after
receiving the assurance this afternoon that
any news good or bad would be sent to the
president Immediately.
