BALrINORE, June 4.
This afternoon, the American says, gen.
tlemen who left the froat at nine o'clock
Friday morning, represent the attack
by General Grant IS having opened
with the fercest oonnonading along the
whole line. CsnDonading could be heard
as it progressed down the Peninsula.
One important fact reported by our in
formsnt is that the army is in the best
possible condition and spirits. They have
never in any previous campaign been 50
we'll supplied. There Wss an abundance
Of provisions constantly going forward.
The whole army worship General Grant
and say that he is the only man who has
given them a chance to fight.
The belief was universal both among
the troops and residents Of the country in
the vicinity Of Richmond, that the rebel
capital must fall.
There had been no attempted raid on the
White House as reported and consequently
the rumoTed capture Of Fitzhugh Lee and
his cavalry was unfounded.
The White House presents q scene Of
activity unprecedented even during Nc
Clellsn's campaign.
