The following sentiments upon "the Presidential ljue-tion," Jrom the New York Freeman's Journal, are eminently worthy of consideration at the present time. They come from a paper which h:i- been moat decide 1 in it? opposition to the war policy of the pirty in power, hence their significance. The only hope of overthi owing the Adminiff4raffoo is In the eo ;ierafion of nil the elemenb opot-d to if, and to secure that object eveiy friend of constitutional liberty should be willing to make omc personal sacrifices. It that spirit prevails amoug those who eirne-tlv desire a h uige :i l iie : , -' r ition of th.- (jav ernment, there CBB be BO doabt but that the elections of the co miu g fall will record an overwhelming revolution. Say- the Journal: A momentous re-r.oi.-ibility rt- upon Demo crats. and on those that purpose sating with them, in legard to the et Presidential election It i- a fearful mistake to suppose tb it any of the elements of pn--ihle strength can be dispensed with. We need ull we can get to give us a fair rhancf ol MiCOess.

We are. all, in a low state. otic illy, and we must takethebest we can got. not all we might wish. Sincerely, and thorough lv. if we would mvo oaf States, we mu-t find a lies outsi le o any number who have alwavs been opposed to this war. If we accept of allies, the tit t principles ol justice require that we should deal fairly, and truiy, with our allies Thcv BrBot abare with us, not oulv in benefits, but in influence, and in power.

Wa,iiiM,To, JuW , 1U P M The movements of tbe Confederate force) today hive born pucn ss have incretseu tbe mystery which füll envelop their ultimate de sign. In tbe morning a dispatch received IroiB ten Kelly, at Caoibcrlai d, -tttin that there waa bo tdgns of the enemy at or we-t oJ th:iL ouint. and thia tact ia aeired unoti aa uiv if, round to the inference that tbe proportions of the movem :it h il been e iterated, and that waa notBtnp m u that nee-u-.nany aurin Tbb waa a verv tuptd and nur rfinal view o J f :': i ri,c n v. proved by thi' developtneiit? that b tve come to !i(bt .-ince.

Hart er Ken v hi- r.-Minucd ttJ be occupied by tbe Confede-ates force. A large detaebmeut aiio v-ros-in strontr d the Ptorn ic at W illiamsport, advanced to Hagertown iigaged the Union forces stationed there, defe-it ed them, and now occupy that town I lie I retieated to Greeucastle in Penusvli , Another strong detachment of the Uoofodi enm9d lhp poosaaa at Shnrpsburg. adroM ed them, and now occupy that town The L'tiion s retreated to Ureencastle in reiiiisvlvania. ierates need to ßoonsbor and Middletown, and took BBaBBMBM ofthat place after a sharp skirmish with tbe Union liooiw who bad been stationed there Mid .. . . ., r . . . illetown isnght miles v.e-t ol rieii.k A ,hird detachment is si.i to hare vrossed between II it pec's Ferry and Point of Rocks, and to have m i ii BOftavara I he probability -eeuia to be that these three bodies of troops will unite tonight at some point north or cist of Maryland Heights, and will attack de.i Sigel, who -til! holds that some time to m rrow (the 7th). If they do, and their iorce is as strong us represented, that position will be capt'tred beyond all doubt. BoUrar Higbts whs evacu.u d by ihe Utiion forces t.'diy..u.d the Union troops there were tr:insferred to the Maryland Hights; and indeeii that, and the Maaaaaff Bridge, are the only points that ore held by the L'uiou troops in any force. There are none at all at Frederick, and that place is virtually, if not actually, in the pos-ts-ion o the (Jonlcdet ates i ., ; il I ler with the troops sent from Baltimore by General Wallace, is still holding the important brfctgt over the Monoeicy. three miles southeast ot üsaderick, and Lien. Wall ice Iii ui -el I" is iu chief c.mm;.nd id all the Union ttoops there and on the Maty land IPithts. A reat many people from Frederick lell that pi a-e on the 5th iui , and came to Baltimore with all their household goods In the latter ritv there is BO excitement or alarm maniiested, and no apprehension is felt that the Confederates will move in that direction It is very different here, however. In addi tioa to the above movements of tbe Confederate-, some others took p! ice to day at point, lower down the Potomac, which have given ri-e to the teir that the Confederate cavalry may make a darb into this city at any hour. It is certain that i strong bod v of Confederate cavalry, fi.tKHI strong at the very least, (and persons not given to exaggeration, and who saw the column, estimate it at 10,000 -trong.) crossed the PbtOBMC Barif tab) morning at n point twenty miles above this city, but were moving, at that time, to the North, r.s if to pet in the iciii of the troop- under Ceueral Tyler at Monocacy Bridge Nothing further has been heard of the move ment- of thia boly of cavalry since, and the prüf ability is that tlicy have joined the three bodies of infantry above named, who seem to be concentrating ne;r the Maryland Heights. The Union cavalry lorces who wete stationed up to ye-terdav ;.f points on the Potomac, from ten to twenty miles above this city, weie attacked this morning by liodies of Confederate cavalry in su perior numbers, and have retreated to the Chain Bridge, where they are now. But none of the Confederate cavalry lollowed them liiriher down than the mouth of Seneca Creek. In the face of all the above f.rcts, the Admin IstratSoa b trying its best to make light of the w hole matter, and to throw ridicule upon the ide i t'n .t the Confederates have n designs on either Baltimore or Washington. I'hismay he wi-e; but it would certainly be wer to take such measures as would defeat those designs if they exi-f. It i- believed by many heie that the rsason why the Maryland Heights has not been at t icked yet, Is bee iusc the tour bodief of Confedarte troop- above named are moving so as to get in the rear of General Tyler's position at Mon BBBej Bridge, in order to cut him off and capture bi.s whole force, and that then they will move to the Maryland Higbts und surround and capture the Union troops there.

They ail no to show that it is I not a mere objectless r ud, or a trifling and spamodic movement which will qaiebi y yutiside; but that il fr, ou the other hand, pari of a deliberate and weil considered plan, on the part of (General I.ee. for the defense of Richmond and the defeat ,,f Grant a plan which was formed as soon as the dcigin ot tba latter hid become apparent, nitnely, early iu May. ntid to which I have since ailudeil more than nine Thtt plan ws, in href. aa follows: To take up such positions, ind to maneuver , I .

The rebel claim that their nlan thus far h is .uccetsle-1 even better than thwv a.nak;tad or hotved The .mm.-nse I rc with ahii-h liaiiar.l t'rant began the campaign, and the fact that ther were obliel t operate aeaiuat three different ! , arm - it nice, rendered the task of the Confed- j

erate general one of the utmost diaVeoUy . and it is due to General Lea to nay. that the combinations by which General Lee defeated and ren derod abortive both of General OraBt's com bined tapvements upon Richmond, and reduced the latter to the alternative of marching upon that city in a single line, are achievements wbicb have had uo parallel since thenars of Napolsoa. Tbe confederates know esactlv tba fttteugthof h o 9 e loidD army now operating against Petersburg; bt the view they take of that fart it this: They aar thai General Grant's losnes iu tbe over land campaign were - . great 9,MK) is their figure; that it waa abeolutelv oeceoaarv for him to be reinforced to that extent, or else to abandon the campaign at oaco; that he has therefore been reinforced to thit extent; but that thene re in force at en ts have drained the North of all the troops that were organized, that they are raw and undisciplined, and cannot tie relied on like the veteran troops that fell at the W.ldernas. at Spottsylvnnia. on the Po. on the North Anna, at Coal Harbor, and in tbe three dai fight before

Petersburg; and, finally , that the great loss which (eneril (.rant j armv lias -affered in officers killed aud disabled will very much impair the emcier.cy of the army in future engagements. It is not for me to say whether or not there is any force ui this view of the case. It it the view L! L iL 11 r-9 - a which me reoei leauers entertain i hey sav further that tbe fact that General Grant decided on operati: g again-! I'etcr-b'irg first has given General Lee abundant time to prepare for the re maiuder of bis plan. rLA.x or tub rarKT noutuebn motexfat. That plan is simply this, to move to Harper's Fi rry, with the main body of his army, through the Shenandoah Valley, while General Beauregard defends Richmond with bis corps of thirty ttlBaaaal troops and the local malitia. Peters burg is nothing, and of no account. It is a mere outwork The longer General Grant remaius operating before it, the better for the rebels But OaaeraJ Beauregard will evacuate the place ui-i retire with hi- eorp to the southern defenses of Richmond, whenever General Lee follows, with the remainder of bw army, thst pottioa which has already moved up the Shenandoah valley That portittu is the whole of (General Eweli !. corps, twenty seven thousand strong ; the cavalry under M ijor General Hansom, which including Imbouen .m0 Moseby. exceeds fit teen thousand men; and General Breckinridge's di vis ioti, twelve thousand strong. This makes a force ol titty four thousand men it has not all reich ed the Potomac yet Imboden's and Mo-eby'f cavalry are in the advance, with one or two quadrons under Ran-om's lieutenants ; one di vision ol E well's corps is iu possession of Har per s Ferry, and is operating against Mary land heights; another is lower down the Potomac, with Museby's cavalry, opp s:te Point of Rock--, and seems to be threatening Fredrick, from which it is only twelve miles distant; another is higher aip tim Potomac, opposite Williamspott. and seems to be threuening Higerstowu. Breck inndge's division was at Winchester a few days ago. but it is now believed to be moving toward Cumberland, in order to intercept Gen Hunter, in case the latier should endeavor to move e .-t ward, to support Sigel The greater part of the cavalry under General Ransom is understood to te posted so as to give ajotice of Hunter's approach, and are .Is engaged in keeping open the communication beiweeu EweM's corps and that part of General Lee's army that, is moving up tbe valley to support them Tlin. REMILS NOW ON THE POTOMAC TO BF. REINFORCED. The iast part of the rebel plan, it was understood, was to bt undertaken as soon ns Grant's ;umy was lairly involved in the work of the siege of Richmond; and us Grant has choseu to cotn3eiice the siege of Richmond at a poiut as remote as Petersburg, and as Peter-burg is re g i led by the rebels n mere outwork of Rich mond, the siege of the latter c tv m iy be regarded as begun now. Cnle-s, then. Gen. Lee lias ehauged or gre it! y modified h's plm, the rebel forces hoa on the Potomac will very soon be joined by the other two corps of the rebel army in Virginia. TIM. OIIJKlT OB THE MOVEMENT To ISOLATE A-U-1 NO TON KROM THE NORTH The object of the plan cau be seen at once. It is to save Richmond. It is to compel Grant to abandon the siege of Richmond Thev believe that Washington is now comparatively defeu-e-laBB, and that i tie most eabetaal way to lotend their capital is to threaten ours. If the movement is carried out. therefore, according to the original plan.it will be upon Frederick first, and then BBOB biltimote, in order to isolate W a-h-'on Ironi the North, the Ei-t and the We-t Tba Potomac river at Point of Rocks is verv low now, atideisüy fordable All direct raifroad CBIiBBicatloa between Biltlmore and the Maryland Heights has been destroyed. The rebels rtosocd the liver yesterdav at Point of Raeka, and tore up the track for a considerable .1 -t nice Genera! Sigel, who Is now at Marvlaad Heigiii", caaaot therefore be reinforced by railroad from this direction It is said that Gen. Hunter is BBBlBBbtf to his aid, but it W3uld take Gener! Hunter two weeks to get from Charlestown, on the Kanawha river, where he was on the 1 1 mBt., to Harper's Ferry. M.I.-slT OK THE ABANDONMENT OF MARYLAND HEIGHTS. Tba assurance that the Maryland Heights is impregnable is s:s delusive as was the assurance put forth taatardav, that Harper's Ferrv could be held agsinst any force that could be brought ng ain-i it It w ill be att icked, when it is attacked, from the north and east, and. indeed, it is report ad bare that it his already beeti captured. Att icked by a superior foroe trom that direction, however, the post is untenable. Both prudence and the former experience of our disaster there would dictate that it be abandoned orice, and the troops be withdrawn to this city Frederick City has already been evacuated by ;ur forces, if not already iti pos-ession of the enemv, no donbi will be before night, unless ihe enemy retire ROLtVAR IMill EVACf ATKn. Bolivar Heights, on thp st side of the SiienROOOab, naaaaUi H irper's Ferrv. a strong and commanding position, has been evacuated by our forces, and the troops there concentrated on M iryland Heights.

IMTRESSMENT OF HORSES The government h is se zed a I are number of horses here, the propertr of private individuds Most of tho-e taken belong to the City P ssen gerRiilway Company, and the chariots of that popular corporation "drove heavily" to-day in consequence It is said, in excuse, that "the government'1 needs horses now. as they needed aagroat for Baldjara, and locomotives, some t'me ago; aud the horses are nai I for.
