WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE steamer Con-
necticut, which left the White House yestor-
dav, reports that on Thursday clouds OF
smoke were seen in the direction Of Rich
| mond. 1t was the belief at the White House
that disastrous confagration was in pro-
gress at the rebel capitol.
Several wounded rebels, brought up by
the Connecticut, report Lee sick in Rich
mond, leaving Ewell in command.
Eight hundred rebel prisoners have already
arrived at the White House, and others are
on the way down.
The Richmond and Rock River railroad is
being rapidly repaired. The bridge over the
Pamunkey was completed on Monday, and
cars have arrived on barges from Alexandria.
Repair shops are being erected at White
House, and the place has assumed bust
ness appearance again. Gen. Abercrombie
is in command of the post. He has general
supervision Of landing troops, etc.

BALTIMORE, June 4.-This afternoons
American saws: Gentlemen who left the
front on Friday morning at 9 O'Clock, repre-
sent the attack referred to in Grants dis.
patch. rs having opened with fierce cannon
aiding along the whole line. Our informants
state that the army was in the best possible
condition and spirits. They have never in
any previous campaign been so well sup
piled. Abundant provisions are constantly
going forward. Belief is universal among
| the troops and residents of the country
around Richmond, that that place must fall.
There is no confirmation of the report that
Fitzhugh Lee and 500 men were captured-
1t is probably untrue.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-A dispatch from
Grant at $50 o'clock last evening, states that
about 7:30 o'clock on Friday evening the en-
envy suddenly attacked Smiths brigade, Of
| Gibson's division. The battle lasted with
great fury for half an hour. The attack was
Tepulsed. Smiths loss is inconsiderable.
At six p. NJ, Wilson, with his cavalry, fell
upon the rear of the brigade of Helps divi-
sion which Lee had drawn around to his left,
apparently with the intention Of engaging
Burnside. After short and sharp conflict,
Wilson drove the rebels from their rihe-pits
in confusion. He had previously fought and
routed Gordon's brigade of rebel cavalry.
During the three fights, we lost several OH
GERS, among them Colonel Preston, First
Vermont Cavalry, and Colonel Benjamin,
Eighth New York Cavalry, who was seriously
wounded. General Hannard was also Sc
verely wounded on Friday. Our loss in killed,
wounded and missing, during three days ope-
rations around Coal Harbor, will not exceed,
according to the Adjutant Generals report,
$500.
On Saturday morning the enemys left
wing, in front OF Burnside, was found to have
been drawn in during the night.

some six miles in length, extending almost
due south TO Latopatamoy Greek. Five

special of the LIST says: Sheridan's cavalry,
on the dav previous, drove the rebels down
the Mechanicsville road to within five miles
of Richmond. Our entire lines were ad-
vanced considerably.
The impression prevails that Lee is with
drawing his entire force within the inner de-
lenses Of Richmond. His losses during the
past two days have been severe, and largely
in excess of ours.
Contrabands report the citizens Of Rich
mond in great fright.
The Sixth Corps and Badly Smiths forces
made heavy charge to-day "wednesday,
carrying the first line of the enemy's works,
and taking from 600 to 500 prisoners. An
hour later the rebels made a tremendous as
sault and were frightfully slaughtered. Han
cock also repulsed similar attack, suffering
severe loss. The fighting was most desper-
ate. The enemy's loss must have been
between 1000 and 5000 ours was 400 or 800.
