JUNE 17. 1864. tu Baltimobb OoNVEKTio.-The New York AraU of a late date contains a full account of the republican convention at Baltimore, that nonupated Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson for Presi 4ent.nd Vice President. The States of Maine, Hew Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, flbode island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Louisiania, Arkan sas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Miotigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, California, .Oregon, West Virg "nia, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorv. ido,and Nevada ate reported as having been repre sented in the Convention ; and 427 votes were cast .(or Lincoln, and the vote of Missouri, 22, forJen. i Grant The vote for Vice President was Johnson 482, Dickinson 17, Hamlin 9. ' . The Herald says the first resolution of the plat fform demands the suppression of the rebellion by force of arms ; the seconWeclares against any corn-, promise with armed rebels, except on condition of their unconditional surrender ;. the third insists that slavery be extirpated from the soil of the Unit ed States, and calls for a constitutional amendment to that end; the fourth thanks the soldiers and sailors for their serviacs; the Bfth approves Lin coln's emancipation proclamation; the seventh de mands full protection the sbldieis of the Union without regard to color ; the ninth goes for a Pacific Railroad; the tenth pledges the national faith for the redemption of tho public debt; and the eleventh declares for the Monroe doctrine. We have published elsewhere the letter of accep tance of JohnC. Fremont, the nominee of the more radical republicans. The Democratic National Conyentionjpll Jneet at Chicago on the 4th day of July. Gen. McClellan will probably be nominated for the Presidency. We deeply regret to state that Gen. Leonidas Polk was struck by a cannon ball on the 14th instant, and instantly killed. He was on the field- of battle some twenty miles west of Atlanta," m company with Gen. Johnson and other officers. Gen. Polk was a native of this City- His death will be gen erally and deeply deplored. He was a gentleman and a Christian, and a true soldier of the South. We learn that the "Paroled Prisoner" who has been writing falsehoods about U3 in the Fayette ville Olenrt' is a Captain in the service who " dodged about" a good deal after he was exchanged ; and that he has a brother who ought to benn the war, but does hot go.' We thought as much. In nine cases out of ten, when you hear a man abusing the Standard you may set him down as a specula tor, or a detective, or a government officer, or a skulker, or of one of Got. Vance's shade officers who are buying their necessaries and luxuries at government prices, while the families of the sol diers are suffering for food and clothing.1 - We have seldom witnessed s more malicious or cowardly attack than that madejia the Conwnatice of this City of the 14th instant, op Mr. Pennington, of the Progrest. . Gov. Vance tried to buy Mr. Pen nington, and failing to do so, he ridiculed him in his speech in this City as a vender of lemonade in a circus, &c This slander for there is ho truth in the statement was started by John Spelman, and the Governor has shown hitnsetf, in repeating it, an apt scholar of that scurrilous blackguard. s " That fat son of old Mr. Pennington would serve the country better by selling lemonade than in any other capacity," says this organ of Gov. Vance. , Why this allusion to the venerable bid man who is seen every day on our streets, and at the Progrut office, with his honest countenance and bis gray hairs ? Is there nothing too sacred to be besmear ed by the dirty pens of these grovelling mercena ries? What has tfr.lnhington'g father done, er omitted to do, that he should be dragged into the newspapers? ' , ' ''' " : The truth is, Gov. Vance is responsible for all this low personal abuse. He began it in his Fayetteville speech, and has continued it in all his speeches, ' ;2ft1ias set his followers the example of repeating private conversations and indulging in low parson- ' allties. ," Like' master likS man."'- Eavesdroppers,' detectives, mercenaries, retailers of private conver sations, and assailants of inotTenstva old' men; I" No other State in the Confederacy is infested with such vermin.

'' - We publish to-day the Peace Manifesto recently adopted by the Confederate Congress in secret ses sion, which-'deserves to be regarded as one of the ? important' documents of ' the day. ' While we do not agree with this document as to the origin of j this war bo jar as the States south of us are con- J cerned, yet the picture it presents of the aggressive conduct of our enemies, and their disregard of all constitutional restraints in their efforts to subju gate our people, is founded in strict truth ; and the appeal which is made for peace, going out to them and to the ear of Christianized humanity elsewhere, is well conceived, well expressed, and cannot fail, sooner or later, to produce good results. It is a noteworthy fact hat the Congress of the Confederate States has at length made an appeal for peace. This appeal is not only to the world but to our adversaries themselves. The great' truth is at length recognized and acted upon by the Con gress, that fighting merely will never close the war, but that negotiation must be resorted to in order to secure this desirable end. The recognition of this troth is a practical triumph, as far as it goes, of the views and feelings of the Conservatives of Georgia and North-Carolina. The voice of the peace men ef these and other States has at last made itself heard through the Congress at Rich mond. . Twelve months ago, when we commenced to urge in this pape the adoption of some plan which would lead to negotiations and a treaty pf peace, we Were assailed and maligned and at lenjfh mobbed on account of our sentiments'. But truth is mighty and will prevail. We have lived t see the Congress itself take up the subject, and in. an able, dispassionate, and imposing manifesto present an appeal for peace which cannot fail to interest tho public judgment of the world, and materially in fluence the result of the pending elections in the United States. Let the good work go on. The action of Congress may not be all that we desire, but that which has been dune shows a disposition on the parf 6Y.hat body to take some steps to stop the effusion of blood and restore peace to the coun try. All that is needed, to give increased vigor and potency to these steps, is the machinery suggested in the resolutions of the Hon. J. I. Leach, the re presentative of the 3d District of this State. Let ' the totereign Stale be heard in this momentous business through their Commissioners regularly ap pointed, either in Convention or by their Legisla tures ; and let these Commissioners, making common cause with the Confederate Commissioners, he em powered not only to make known our condition, feel ings, expectations, and rights to Europe and to the United States, out to agree upon a treaty of peace with federal Commissioners the treaty to be first ap proved by the President and Senate, and then sub mitted to the people of the States for their approval j or rejection. Our people, while they will continue to support the government, and while they arc ready to spare every man that can be spared to aid in repelling the enemy, are nevertheless tired and grievously oppres sed by this war. They desire to see it stopped as soon as possible, on just and honorable terms. They be lieve it can never be done solely by fighting that the North cannot conquer the South, nor the South the North that we may fight twelve months or forty months longer, and lose thousands of lives and millions of treasure in addition to those already lost and still we shall be no nearer the end than we are now that wetmay not grow .stronger, but weaker with the lapse' Aof time; and therefore, taking this J common sense view of the whole matter, they most earnestly desire that note and not the next month or the next year souio steps should be taken for negotiations. The people do not agree with Gov . Vance that the " effort to obtain peace is the prin cipal matter." The "principal matter" is peatie. Efforts, which may be made to repress disoonten t, or to deceive the people by empty forms,' would . be alike idle and wicked. 'They demand that ttreir servants shall be in earnest in this matter, wbi ch involves their property and their very lives, and the lives of their children; and that .the proposi tion for peace on a fair basis should be pressed with as'much ardor,' and constantly, and dotermins tion as is shown in the conduct of the war itself against our enemies. '" Tbi Wa Vancb Papers arb Made. Our read ers are already aware that Gov. Vance protected CoL WiBae ' frdtn conscription after ;his return from France, by not requiring him to settle his accounts as: State' Agent,, the Colonel being exempt as long as he remained State Agent; and thv.t in return for thisand frl consideration of a salary paid him by the " patriots and property holders,' CoL McRae, as 'Editor 'of thr Confederate, agreed to support Gov. Vance forTe election. It is also, knows that the Conservative newspaper of this City, which in devoted to the support of Gov. Vance, was estab lished by a few wealthy persons, and n sustained by them with the view of securing to themaetvefV for the next two" years, by the re-election of Oat,1 Vance, the monopoly of office, blockade-running, Ifce purchase ofprovisions at State prices, and the lftt wnicn they are now enjoying. ' So much for tha. use of inpney and patronage to influence the elec tions ; but we learn from an entirely reliable source that jt-cUas been resorted to-in order to make another Vance organ in the Western part of th t State. '..Thjk Hendersonville Timet is the prqperty of Mr. WilRam Dedman, and'its Editors have here- tofore bead S. L. Love and Dr. L. F. Sensa-1 haugh-the'formVe a Surgeon in the Confederate. and the latter a Surgeon in the State service. ., For merly, ontil the possession of office began to oper ate on the opinions of these gentlearen,. they were good Conser,yatives, but recently they have become ed hot Destructives. ?The ox knoweth jiis' iwn er, and the ass hiT.i!er's crib." Some four or five weeks agothe.ijnrolling officer called oo Mr. Dedman and notified him that his paper must change its Conservative tone or be suppressed, and he ao tested and sent "to camp as. a conscript " Dr. Love was . on band . to rent the establishment and Mr. Dedman, to save himself from conscription, waa compelled to " rent to L6ve and Sonsabaugh, and then print the paper for them. The next issae of the paper hoisted the name of Vance, the Destruc tive cadidit for Governor ' . : : V ' .' V ' r .These are facta. - Gov. Vance, if he was not party to the transaction, now knows all about it, and is taking the benefit of this forcible oppres sion, by a Confederate officer, of a Conservative RALEIGH, N. 0., EDES journal The calculation of tha Destructive leaden about Hendersonville Is, that the subscTibers to the Timet, who are tor tbemost part good Oonsemrif es, are to be transferred like so many oattle to the sup port of Gov. Vance. We havf no fears tiU this can be done. The tnerf of the mouBtal coontry are too high-minded and too independent to be con trolled in this way. , . :; i Having shown how Vance papers are made, we will remind onr readers how a Vsncav paper was not made in this City. . The Editor of tiui Prtgrm states that after he had sold one-fborth of that pa per to Mr. Richardson, Gov. Vance approached Mr. R. on the subject of brryhig the balance, and pwea- -ised Mr. R. that in the event Mr. Pennington wonld sell to him, the Governor., he, Mr. Pennington, would- be retained aa foreman of the office, and thus saved from conscription 1 Mr. P. refused to sell, whereupon the Cowtrvatite was established. If Gov. .Vance denies this statement, it can be proved by Mr. Richardson. . - The Raleigh Meeliar-Col. McRa'e. On Monday night last a portion of the citizens of Raleigh met at the Courthouse tor devise means to resist any raid that may be made by the enemy, CoL W..H. Harrison, Mayor of the City and com' mander of the Home Guard of the County, in the chair. ' It seems that a portion of our citisens, not satisfied' with the' Home Guard organization, were anxious to have an -organization of volunteers, the officers to be appointed by the Adjutant General of .Ahe8tte or by Gen Holmes; On Monday night a -pjatement or report was made to the meeting by Adjutant general Gatlin, to the effect that the Home Guard organization existed in accordance with law, and that those who properly belonged to it could not be permitted to attach themselves to : any. new organization, bat that persons over fifty years of age could volunteer and organize if they desired to do so. This very proper decision of the Adjutant General excited the ire, as we understand, of 'Colonel Duncan K. McRae, who was present It is stated that be - rudely interrupted gentlemen who were speaking, and at length declared that he would not terte in 1 the Some Guard that he insisted on a separate '. organization, to be nnder Confederate control; and ; ako said that he had heard the report that, CoC J Harrison had already determined to make node- j fence, but to surrender the City in the event of an j stuck. ; - 1 ..' CoL Harrison, we learn, promptly contradicted this statemeut. He also told CoL McRae that ' if the occasion should require it he would " male" him. do bis duty in the Home Guard, in case the City should be attacked. Altogether,.' we learn, the conduct of CoL McRae was exceedingly factious and reprehensible on the occasion, and was eTidently deplored by his political friends who were- present Gov. Bragg, Gov. Manly, Mr. Mordecai and others, by their manner deprecated his conduct ; and CoL McRae retorted by intimating that certain gentlemen talked one way in one place, and another way in another, and that he would retitt the at tempt to make him serve in the Home Guard, if he " Blood alone." CoL' McRae,1 though conscious of having acted badly on the occasion, felt bound to notice the meet ing, which he his" done in his paper of' Wednesday. He resorts to the pitiful shift of declaring that he objects' to the Home Guard of the County because " CoL Harrison is an active friend and sympathiser f Mr. Holden 1" because other officers are reported ' to have said so and so, and to be so and so ; and be ' cause, in fine, he does not like the "political senti- f ments and action of the officers IP This fire eat-1 ing gentleman, according to his own declaration, is ! not willing to fight in defence of his own home j unless he can do so under officers who agree with j him in political sentiment I 1 r,3E ;j " . But CoL. McRae, in his lame apology for his ceo-1 duct at the meeting, says : ' :. '; . We had beard it. stated, that CoL Harrison had ' proposed, when the former raid was threatened, to surrender the towji. In this we are free to say we may have misstated the rumor, though we are not responsible for Jbat, as it was given to ns'precise . iy is we gutod it ; but we should have stated that Mr. Holden is reported to have said to certain la dies, that if the enemy came here, he should ad- - 1.: r r . . m ' J vne me ssutyor uj aurrenuer me uuy.

The soldiers want the Standard, and these officers are averse to their having it, because the Standard contains truths which these officers can not near. We have received a letter from a soldier in Lane's Brigade, Virginia, in which he informs as that the package of Standard is received at head-' quarters, bat is not handed out to the subscribers, and when inquired for, they are told no such paper haf been received. , Now, these subscribers have paiSVtheir money for the paper," and they are enti-1 tied to receive it ' If an officer in the service has the right to decide what papers shall 'be subscribed for, and what papers shall not be subscribed for and received in his company or regiment, then "he has supreme power over the opinions and thoughts . of those under his command. Such an officer is a despot, and the soldiers who are thus treated are 'denied the enjoyment of those very principles of liberty for which they are fighting. But there is one way in which the soldiers who want the Standard can obtain it' Let them call at the. Standard office in person, or send, and they will be supplied with copies of the paper. And we trust our' friends generally throughout the Slate will send copies of the Standard, whenever oppor tunities present themselves, to the soldiers in eamp andhospitaL ' ' The Latest News. Gen. Lee telegraphed to the Secretary of War on the 13th, that at daylight on .that moraine it was discovered that the army of rat had left his .'j front near Coal . Harbor. His skirmishers had ad vanced two miles without seeing the enemy. Another dispatch from Gen. Lee, dated the 14th, states that a portion of Grant's army is reported to have proceeded to the White House and embarked at that place. The press disnatch from Richmond of date the 14th states that Grant's whereabouts or intentions are not ascertained! .. .On the 33th Gen. Hampton, at the head of our cavalry, defeated a portion of the enemy near Tre villian's bridge, on the Chickahominy, capturing five hundred prisoners. . A portion of Grant's army was between the Chickahominy and the, James river at the latter point near Malvern Hill and Bermuda Hundreds. It may be Grant's intention to advance on Rich mond on both sides of James river. Gen. Lee is ; well in. his front, and we hope will be able to take care of him. The impression prevails that another great battle is near at band. It is stated that Grant has a large force of ne groes employed throwing np breastworks about two miles east of Malvern . Hill, facing Richmond. These works extend four or five miles. - The Petersburg. Expret of Wednesday, under " bd of " Cheering from Richmond," says u Passengers from Richmond, some of whom arrived as late as ytsterday afternoon half past six o clock, state mat ueneral lee intercepted Grant's army yesterday morning, while moving for Malvern Hill, gave'it battle, add after a sharp fight drove it back with considerable loss. Grant was thought to be aiming for James river, in his re treat and it was reported that a portion of his forces had reached Westover, in Charles City coun- ty." , : The Expreu of the same date says : -" We understand, that the transports of the en -emy, to the number of ten or twelve, ascended James river yesterday, and landed troops at Ber muda Hundreds. Whether these men are to oper ate against General Beauregard or General Lee, re mains to be seen. They may. hare been conveyed to the northside of James river last night The Yankees are hot only cunning, but as the darkie said, " mighty sateful," and require constant watching."

Grant attacked our lines from one end to the other on the 3d inst. who great tury, but was driven back at all points with great Blauehter. Since that time ha has made a few feeble night attacks, that do not amount to tnucn, wniie be has suffered greatly here, -as we fought. behind breastworks and are well fortified. The enemy is also very well fortified in our front uu un vwu mies io some pieces are not more man 100 yards apart The sharpshooters on both sides are therefore very dangerous, for as soon as a man pones, nis bead up on either side be is killed or bad i j. ijr wuunueu. I Gen. Lane, our commander, was badly wounded in a charge we made on the evening of the 2d inst, ', when Lane's brigade with the balance of Wilcox's ' division took Turkey Hill, where we are now strong ly fortified. This is the thirty-sixth day we have been in this- ', campaign, but only four days of that time we have .been under fire. - Such fighting as has been done in : this campaign is nowhere paralleled in the recoids of history, and no brigade has done more to immor talize itself than Gen. Lane's. . It has done some desperate fighting. The General and his Aide de camp, Lieut Lane are both seriously wounded Lieut CoL Davidson commanding the 7th has been captured, and that gallant old regiment is now in '. command of Capt Harris. Lieut. CoL McGill commanding the 18th N. 0. T., the biave and gal lant tspeer still commands the 28th, and the con' and chivalrous Lieut Col. Cowan the 83d, Col.' C. M.

Tne 87 tn. reg iment is commanded by Maj. Bost, Lieut Col Barber having been captured at the battle of Spot sylvania. Many of the line officers have been kill ' ed and wounded, but I can only speak of the 28th,' to which I belong. Our loss in killed, wounded and missing is 250. I have been in the army ever since the war commenc ed nearly, and our men have more to do and undergo now than ever before, in digging breastworks night and day, and in fighting and marching. But we are in bne spirits and confident of success and tht ; ultimate defeat of Grant We all think this is the 1 last campaign. We are getting plenty of rations of bacon, corn meal, four, peas, irish potatoes, onions, rice, sugar and coffee, and the men are - in fine health. The 28th has never been better handled or done better fighting than in the present campaign. CoL W. Li. A. dp ke a has had no help except Adit Jfolger, who is an excellent officer. In the fight of the 12th at Spotsylvania, the 28th took more prisoners than it had men. CoL speer has missed no duty and has behaved with great credit to himself and regiment The officers and men of the 28th have been compli mented twice on the battle held by our General for good behavior in battle. Col. Speer is a candidate to represent the people of the counties of Yadkin, Surry, Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga in the Senate. It is hoped that he will have no opposition, and that be will be elected. He is a true North Carolinian true to his State, true to the South, for no one has fought braver than he has for the last three years, and itill truer to the toldier and to the people. The people at home need have no fears of him, for he is as jealous of their rights as any man, and is for the people against despots, monarchists or military tyrants. The soldiers can trust him for they well know, that he knows what they have to do and undergo, and what ought to be done for them. .The State can trust him for. he is jealous of her interests and good name and is for' the freedom of speech and of the press, and for all soldiers to have a full and free chance to vote untrammelled in their elections. We. have ho fears but that he will get the full and vol untary vote of the 28th if alive, and there are seven companies in this brigade from our Senatorial dis trict that will go to a man for CoL Speer. : We expect to whip Grant and have peace and in dependence, and moreover to elect the right men to rale over us and make our laws. If the people at home will only do right, U WU be welL 1 Provi dence helps those who help . themselves, so let us help ourselves, i - .-i- ' ' .i, .. Respecrfnlly,' K r ,',V-.'V.
