From the North.the battle before Richmond. We received last night copies of Northern papers as late as Tuesday, June 3d, from which we make up a brief summary. It will be seen that there was a difference of opinion at the North as to whether the late battle near this city was a Federal tory or defeat, though the reporter of the A ciated parts endeavors to make it appear that the "rebels" were routed at every point.

A Bulletin from the "white House." A correspondent of the Herald, writing from White House, June 3, is rather more subdued in his tone. We copy a portion of the letter: The events of the past two days have been the most exciting ones of the present war.--We have had three days of the most sanguinary battling, with a list on our side of killed, wounded and missing of not less than four thousand men. The enemy's loss will all sum up less than this, if it does not far exceed it. Our troops have fought with a valor are heroism never surpassed, seldom equaled and against numerical odds.
