Raleigh Confederate ana Greens boro' Pa'triot wiil please copy. From he Richmond Bentsnel. The following paper was adopted by the House of Representatives in the night session of x nday. As a calm and elevated, but vigorous presentation of the facts which explain our connection with the pending war as a frank but manly declaration of our desire for peace, and our readiness to conclude it as a valiant, but unboastful declaration of cur ability to maintain the war, if the enemy shall prove unwilling for peace and as an expression cf our resolute determination to die rather than be conquered, and cf our humble reli ance on the continued lavor of Heaven this manifes to of Congress cannot be without a marked effect. Inspired by a decent respect for the opinions of man kind, and acknowledging a responsibility to the senti ment of humanity and justice, and an obligation to pay due regard to the peace of the world and the in terests of commerce, the declaration of Congress will everywhere appeal to kindred ideas, and, it is to be hoped, will tend to secare becoming response. At least the world shall know, and history shall record, that if other nations are delinquent in their duties to u?, we have done no harm to them ; and that if hu manity is outraged, and the peace cf the world broken in the very blaze of civilization, and in the presence of timid or listless nations, the psople of the Confederate States are innocent. It is tot improper to add that the manifesto ia the production of the Hon. Wm. C. iiives, cf V lrgmia. As the unamended utterance of one of his reputation, position, and distinguished pub lic service, it will possess additional weight and value from the authority of his nam : Joint resolution declaring the dispositions, principles and purposes of the Confederate States in relation to the existirg war with the United States. Whereas, it is due to the great cause of humanity and civilization, and especially to the heroic sacrifices of their gallant army in the field, that no means, con sistent with a proper Eelf-respect acd the approved usages of nation?, should be emitted by the Confederate btates to enlighten the public opinion of the world with regard to the true character of the struggle in which they ore engaged, and the dispositions, principles acd purposes by which they aie actuated ; therefore, Resolved by the Congress cf the Confederate States of America, That the following manifesto be issued ia their name and by their authority, and that the Presi dent be requested to cause copies thereof to be trans mitted to our commissioners abroad, to the end that the same may be laid befcr j foreign Government?. MANIFESTO CF THE C0NCRES3 OF THE CONFDKRATE ETATE3 OF AMERICA RELATIVE TO THE EXISTIXQ WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES. The Congress of ths Confederate State3 of Amsrice, acknowledging their responsibility to the opinion ot the cirilizsd world, to the great law of Christian phi lanthropy, and to the Supreme Ruler of the universe, for the part they have been compelled to bear in the sad spectacle of war and carnage which this continent hos, for the last three years, exhibited to the eyes of ufHieted humanity, deems the present a fitting occasion to declare the principle?, the sentiments and the purpo ses by which tbey have been and are still actuated. Tney have ever deeply deplored the necessity which constrained them to take up arms in defence of their rights and of the fres insitutions derived from their ancestors; and theie is nothing they more ardently de sire than peace, whensoever their enemy, by ceasing from the unhallowed war waged upon them, shall per mit them to eojoy in peace the sheltering protection of those hereditary rights and of those cherished institu tions. The series of successes with which it has pleased Almighty God, in so signal a manner, to bless our arrr3 on almost every point of cur invaded borders since the opening of the present campaign, enables us to proless this desire of peace in the interests of civili zation and humanity, without danger of having our motives misrepresented, or of the declaration being ascribed to any unmanly Bentiment or any distrust of our ability fully to maintain our cause. The repeated and disastrous checks, foreshadowing, ultimate discom fiture, which their gigantic army, directed against the capital of the Confederacy, has already met with, are but a continuation of the same provwential success for us. We do cot refer to these successes in any spi rit of v.ain boi8ticg, but in humble acknowltdf-erntnt of that Almighty protectlpn which has vouchsafed and granted them. The world must now see that eight miliious of peo ple, inhabiting so 'extensive a territory, with euch var ied resourcea and such nnmeroas faciliti's for r'efetce as the benignant bounty of nature has bes'owed upon ub, and animated with one sp'rit to encounter every privation and eaerifice of ease, of health, of property, ot life itself, rather than be degraded from the condition of free and independent States into which thev were born, can never be conqnered. Kill Wbt our adversa ries themselves begin to feel that humanity has b.'ed long enough.; that tears and blocd aDd treasure enough have been expended in a bootlefs undertaking, cover ing their own land.no less than ours, with a pa'l of mourning, acd exposing them far more than ourselves to the catastrophe of financial exhaustion acd bank ruptcy, not to speak of the loss of their liberties by the despotism engendered in an aggressive warfare upon the liberties ot another and kindred people ? Will they be willing, by a longer perseverance in a wsfcton and hopeless i contest, to make this coa'icent, which they so lorg boasted to be the chosen abode cf liberty and self government, of peace and a higher civilization, the theatre ol the mcst causeless and produal effusion of b'ocd which tbe'worTd Las e ver seen, of a virtu .1 relapse into the barbaris:n cf the ruder ages, and of the de struction cf constitutional freedom by the lawlessness of usurped power ? These are questions which our adversaries will decide for themselves. We desire to Btand acquitted before the tribunal of the world, aa well as in the eyes of om niscient justice of any responsibility for tha origin or prolongation of a war a3 contrary to the spirit of the age us to the traditions at.d acknowledged maxim3 of the political sjstem of A merica. On this contineut, whatever opinions may lave pre vailed elsewhere, it has ever been luld and acknowled ged by all parties that government, to ba lawful, must be founded on the consent of the governed. We were forced to dissolve our federal connection with cur for mer associates by their aggressions on the fundamental principles of our compact of union with them ; and in doing so, we exercised a right consecrated in Ihe great charter of American liberty the right of a free peo ple, when a government proves destructive of the end3 lor which it was established, to recur to original prin ciples and to institute new guards for their security. The separatejndepcndence of the States, as sovereign and co equal members of the Federal Union, Bad never been surrendered ; acd the pretenmoa of applyincr to independent communities, so constituted and organized, the ordinary rules for coercing and reducing rebellions subjects to obedience, was a solecism in terms, as weil as an outrage on the principles of public law. The war mads upoa the Confcdtrate States was, therefore, wholly one cf uggression. On cur s de it has been strictly defensive. Born freemen, and the descendants of a gallant ancestry, we had to option but to stand up in defence of our invaded fireaidep, of our desecrated altars, of our violatedliberties and birthright, and of the prescriptive institutions which guard and protect them. We have not interfered, nor do we wish, in any manner whatever, to interfere with the internal peace and prosperity of the States arrayed in hostility against us, or with the freest developmtn cf their destinies in any form cf action 6r"line t policy they may think proper to adopt for themselves. All we ask iv. a like immunity for ourselves, and to be left in the undisturbed enjoyment of those inalienable rights of " life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," which our common ancestors declared to be the equal heritage of all the parties to the social compact. Let them forbear aggressions upou as, and the war is at an end. If there be questions which rcqura ad justment by negotiation, we have ever been willing and are still willing to enter into communication with our adversaries in a spirit of peace, of equity and manly frankness. Strong in the persuasion of the justice of our cause, in the gallant devotion of cur citizen-soi-diers, and of the whele body of our people, and above all in the gracious protection of Heaven, we are not afraid to avow a sincere desire for peace on terms con sistent with the honor and the permanent security ot our rights, and an earnest aspiration to see the world once nnre restored to the beneficent pursuits of' industry and of mutual intercourse and exchanges, so essential to its well-beiDg, and which have been so gravely in terrupted by the existence of this unnatural war in America. But if our adversaries, or those whom they have placed in authority, tlenf to the voice cf reason and justice, steeled agfdnst the dictates of both prudence and humanity by a presumptuous and -delusive confi dence in their own numbers, or those of their black and foreign mercenariep, shall determine upon an indef inite prolongation of the contest, upon them ba the responsibility of a decision so ruinous to themselves and so injurious to the interests and repose of mankind For ourselves, we have no fear of the result. The wildest picture ever drawn of a disordered imagination comes short of the extravagance which could dream of the conquest of eight millions of people, reaolved with one mind "to die freemen rather tnan live slaves," and forewarned by the savage and exterminating spirit in which this war has been waged upon them, and by the mad avowals of its patrons and supporters, of the worse than Egyptian bondage that awaits them in the event of their subjugation. With these declarations of cur dispositions cur prin ciples, and our purposes, we commit our causa to the enlightened judgment of the world, to the sober re flections of our adversaries themselves, and to the solemn and righteons arbitrements of Heaven. Things In General. The great object of all the Yankee raid?, at this par ticular crisis, is three fold. First, they hop3 to starve eight millions of peple into submission, as intimited by Seward in bis letter of instruction to his Minister at Copenhagen. Secondly, they hope to starve the popu lation of Richmond into the humor for hailing them as delivers. Lastly and principally , they hope to starve Lee's army, end thereby force him to abandon his po sition. These are hopeful projects, it must be confess ed, and well worthy of the brain that C0LC?ived them. The only fault with them is that they arc altogether in operative. These raids may cause a vast deal of pri vate distress; in some instances they have already ruin ed individuals. But instead of making any man more desirous ot peace, they only excite the spirit of ven geance, and stimulate to continued exertion. They make the Yankee name more hated thau it was even before the war, and that 13 the very spirit which we are glad to see excited. They teach the people that war, everlasting war is preferable to submission or even to compromise. As to their effect upon Gen. Lee's oper ations they will have none whatever. They will not gain Grant an inch of ground or a single advantage. Lee has him by the throat, and he will not re:erse him, let him plucge and kick as be may. In the meantime the truth begins to leak out at the North. The Times, for whatsoever purpose it is not material, so far aa we are concerned, has told the truth, in a modified form at least. It has revealeci the fact, so carefully concealed by Stanton, that Grant was badly beaten on the morning of the 3d of J une, and al though the Herald came instantly to the rescue; it was too late. Grant was not nominated at Baltimore, and Lincoln was. Gold went up to 194), and Grant stock came down to zero with a run. For our own part we are glad to hear thaLincolo has received the nomina tion. When some enterprising partisan officer of the Revolution proposed to carry off Sir William Howe from the midst of bis army, Washington put his veto upon it at once. He had no doubt that it was feasible; but Howe had conducted the war as stupidiy as it was possible for any man to conduct it, and any change whatever cooid not but be for the British interest. Let him stay, for fear of a successor who might not be quite such an imbecile. So w say of Old Abe. It would be impossible to find another such ass ia the United States, and therefore we say Jet him. stay. JFe, at least of the Confederacy, ought to be satis fied with bim, for he ba3 conducted the war exactly as we ought to wish it to be conducted. He has confirmed those" that were wavering, heated red hot those who were luke warm ; made those zeal ous who were careles?, converted cold indifference into furious passion, and cremating neutrality into burniog patriotism. As for the military operations conceived and executed under his auspices, surely we have no right to complain. No service ever had so many blun dering officers, and no campaigns were ever conducted with orPdtor ntnnirlitv. For "these reason wa are de cidedly in f avor of Old Abe, and if we could command a million of votes iu Yai kee lom he should have them all. He haa made the 8ouh the most united people that ever went forth to battle with an invader ; and for that he deserves the lively gratitude of every South ern man. If anything could add to the obligations un der which we lie to the Baltimore Convention, it would fte found in the nomination of Andrew Jocnson ; the man of b 11 others most detested in the South, and the most Lkely to keep togethe fbe parties already united in one eolid mass for the prosecution of the war. Con vinced, S we are, that nobody not in favor of continu ing tie war could be elected, and that no other would conduct it so foolishly, we go for this ticket. Richmond-Dispatch. The Yankees and the Gamblers. The Mattamo ras correspondent of the Houston Telegraph says : Business jot dull in Mattamoras and the gamblers wanted to get at the Yaukee efficers' greenbacks. So ih? gamblers atd ffiecjrs (all the Yankee officers gam b e) trade application to the commanding General for permission to open a " club room." The object of the club room ar argement was just as well understood by the General as it was by the gamblers nd the subor dinate efficers. Permission was unhesitatingly grant ed upon the payment i-i specie ef $250 license ; where upon the club room opened. The r.eaiy ornamented roulette commenced rattling through the chuck a luck stand, and the ever-enticing bank opened. The efficial gt m'oKre, to 'i.e cumber of forty or fifty, were cautious about betting the first night, but made every prepara tion to break the back, and run the roulette cS by hitting upon the sure principle of the more you la down'the more you take up," (if you win.) The sec ond night opened wuh every prospect ol doing an ex tecsive business in " depositing," " drawing out," and " making a rnn." The game was furious, betting was high, but the back all the lime " won." Suddenly there camera ruh of soldiers at the- front door ; then others at the back door, so that look which way the bewildered gamblers would, bayonets stared them in the face. The ofJBeers wt-re allowed to walk out , but the other gamblers were made prisoners fn their own house, and there kept till next day, wher, at the point of the bayonet, they ere put over the river, minus over $3,000 iu ept cie. Thus ended the successful scheme to rob the Matnmoras gamblers, and so my letter is ended. The New i'ork Herald has an editorial on the Bal timore Lincoln Canvention, which will be read with interest. It e-ajs : THTC B4LTIMOBE CONVENTION THB TICKET AND PLATFORM. The extraordinary gathering of political odds and enda. the Republican or Uhio National Presidential Convention has closed its labors, adjourned and dispersed. Its ticket is Abraham Lincoln, of ilhnois, and Andrew Johnson, of iennessee. A Western ticket, and the platform adopted is gecevally radical, jet withal, a straDgeiy mixed up acd cur ously conglomerate affair. , Why Hannibal Hemh'n was pet aside and why Ardrew JosunsoM was or ail men regarded as tha man for Vice PreeideDt, we do rot pretend tourderstand Johnson hav inpfbeen, d wn to the iebellion, a regularly d ed inthe ool Southern Uamocrat. It may cave bten mpposed that bis naras would g' ve strength to Old Abe among the old line War Democ acy, and contribute at the seme time to en courace the leading politicians of the rebellious States to abandon the uuprotitatde dredcery of Jtff Pavir, ard to come over into the remunerative service of Abraham Lin coln, it will suffice, however, that Andrew Johnson has been nominated for Vic President, acd with the id a lhat he is a stronger mau than Mr. Hamlin, although it is p ssible that the New England States may have a word to hay upon this matter, which will be anything but advanta geous to Mr. Li 'cr.ln or his new colleagr.e. Tha new platiorm upon which MesBrs. Lincoln and John son are Dominated, wo must say ia a stuuner. The first resolution of the series demand the suppression of the re bellion by force of arms. Good, although we think we have heard of this proposition before. The second resolu tion declares agamst any ctmprcmise with armed rebels, except upon the condition precedent of their unconditional sunender, Very well. The third intists that a avery be ut terly extirpated from the soil of the United States, and calls for a constitutioal amendment to that end. This is a plank from the Herald platform. The fourth thanks our s; fliers and sailors for their gallant and glorious services, which is all very well. The fiuh approves the conee pursued by President Lincoln, idcludicg his emancipation procla mations, enlistment of negro soldiers, and so on, which is somewhat remarkable after declaring for the supersedure of old i be's tinkering Aboli.ion experiments py the mode provided in the Conethution. But what means the sixth resolution, which calls for harmony in the councils ot the administration , and approves only those cflbia'8 whose sentimentB and conduct are in fall accord with the viliant measures of the Ad ministration ! Is thfc a shot at Mr. Seward, or at the Blair fami!, or at the inoffensive old man, Attorney-General Bates ? What would Mrs. Grundy say if Montgomery Blair, as Postmaster-General, were made to walk the plank for the benefit of tome hungry and grumbling abo lition philosopher in an old white bat aud c- at ? Who can tell? The seventh resolution demands full protection to the soldiers of the Union without regard to oolor, which is a pretty broad hint than Old Abe has fallen shoit of hia duty in th s matter. The eighth resolution declares ia fa vor of toieign immigration a new bid for the foreiga vote. The ninth goe for a Pacidc railroad, which proba bly secures all parties concerned in that pn j ?ct. The tenth pledges the na'ional f ai h for the redemption of tha public deot, which will be accepted as a good thing by Mr. Secretary Chase's bond-ho ders. The eleventh de clares for the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, which, inwiadiu? up, is a pretty good thug for Bunc&mtee. Negro Buti'rage, negro equality, iniseeg:u'aon, free love, and worn m's rights, etc., are among the reformB which tho Coiivention turned out of doors, with a mixed delegation of army sutlers aud contrabands, whites and blacks, from South Carolina. What Wendell Phillips and his radical faction wiil say to this, we think it will not be difficult to conjecture. The developments of a very few days, we apprehend, from a popular reaction among radi cals and conservatives, war men and peace men, lepubii cins and democrats, against the corruptions, blunders and imbechities ot this acimn s. ration, will show that honest Old Abe, even err his teir platform, will have a very "hard road to travel.''

Onr cavalry yesterday evening gave back some ten miles above Biddle's Shop, towards Richmond, until strengthened by Wilcox's and part of Mahoue's infantry, when the ene my's force, consisting of two divisions of Infantry, artMe ry and cavalry, were encountered and driven back some three or four miles below Kiddle's Shop towards Long Bridge, thereby recovering the road to Malvern Hill, which the enemy at one time held. This move cf the ene my was a mere feint, and last night they again withdrew from our front, and are reported to-day to be movirg to wards the' James Biver at Shirley, on both sides of the Chickahominy.

The following dispatch has been received at tha War De partment, dated IlKAiQCART--as, June'li, 18549 P. M. The force of the enemy mei tioned in my last dispatch as being on the Long Bridge Boad disappeared during the night. It was probably advanced to cover a movement of the main body, the moBt of which, aa far as I can learn, crossed the Ch:ckahominy at Long Bridge and below, and has reached the James Biver at Western and Wilcox's landing. A portion of Grant's army, npon leaving our front at Cold Harbor, is reported to have proceeded to the White House, and em larked at that place. Everything is said to have been removed, and the depot at the White House broken np The cars, engine, railroad iron and bridge timber brought to that point have also been reshipped. Signed, B.

The following dispatch his been received by the War Department : HKiDQtJABTKKS, JU39 15th, 13616 1'. U. To the Secretary of War : After the withdrawal of our cavalry yesterday everlDg from the front of the enemy's works at Harrison's Land ing, his cavalry again advanced on the Salem Church Boad, and this morning they are reported in some force on that Road and at Malvern Hill.

Mcintosh's brigade has also been skirmish ing with part cf Heth'a division on the Charles City Boad, about two miles bolow Riddle's Shop, to-day. A few pris oners were captured, who say it is the advance of Grant's army. It is not, however, believed to be co more than a mere reoonnoitering party. Grant is either ic?oing to the South fcide, or he is broken down and has gone below to re organize std recruit. ANOTHER EFFORT TO TAKE PETERSBURG. Richmond, June 16th, 1864.
