Fremont could have rallied every friend of uni versal freedom throughout the western continent, when from the pine-clad hills of patriotic Maine to the golden sands of California, he was heralded as the champion of the down-trodden and oppress ed. Then the enthusiasts, the conscientious, and the liberal hailed him as their leading star, proud ly conscious that he was an honorable man. inea-. pable of the littleness which Ls so frequently at tributed to that class known as political aspirants. Now, alas, there is apparently g great "change in the affairs" of this man, and what was once claim ed fir him has been blotted out of existence by a single dash of his pen and to-day he stands be- j fore the country with the avowed purpose of dc- , fcatipg the present great and good man at the head of the American nation. "YVhat a fall was there, my countrymen !" when this man, whose friends claimed for him perfection, came into the political arena a candi date for the presidency to satisfy his own private griefs, cteeasioned by his own incapacity, with the clearly defined purpose of defeating the men who for three long years have battled for the maintain nnce of constitutional liberty, and the American Union as never men have battled in the history of the world, and by their defeat to place the gov ernment in the hands of the men who have con stantly, bv their untoward efforts, lent aid and comfort to the rebels from the day that they, in their fury and haste, discharged the first gun upon Fort Sumter down to this last moment, and who will continue to do so until traitors cease to be and time, ever-passing and ever-changing time, shall t- viuxiaJi c ucarts 01 the people all knowledge of internecine strife. But we will see how this movement is likely to prove success!ul end whence it originated. Immediately after the publication of a call for the assembling of a Republican National Con vention at Baltimore for the purpose of nominating candidatesrorthe Presidency and \ ice-Presidency, a number of broken down politicians got up a pall for a great National Advisory Convention to {V-semble at Cleveland, intimating in the call that the state 01 the country required a free inter change of oyinion, and that the people should indicate through their delegates what should be done at Baltimore. The plausible manner of the call, it was thought, would induce many honest jpep to rely upon It, and to give it their sanction. No nomination was even hinted at, the affairs of the Nation were to be solemnly discussed by the people, nothing more. This was all very plausi ble, certainly. The C onvention assembled at Cleveland on the ol st of May, headed by ex-Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania, and Parker Pillsbury, of N. Hamp shire, two as completely broken-down political ma chines as ever cursed any country. The attend ance, instead of being an outpouring of the peo ple who desired to be heard, was composed of some four hundred self-constituted delegates, all told, without credentials, of the sapie kidney as John ston and Pillsbury, with the addition of a number of infidel German Radicals. These uien instead of deliberating upon the state of the country, as they intimated ia their call, at once set about making arrangements to nominate candidates.—• Many who had gone there became disgusted with the company in which they unintentionally found themselves, and when they proceeded to nominate, vhere were only one hundred and fifty-six delegates answered to their names, the rest having retired rn good order. So much for the Convention. A few days after its adjournment, its nominee for President, John C. Fremont, wrote a letter of acceptance, in which he says in almost so many word--, t hat ho is simply a candidate to accomplish the defeat Abigthapj Lincoln. lie has no hopes ot Mavis-, lc dn. -s not dream of any thing of that kind, nor is he actuated by anything but petty spite, and to satisfy this he would be the instru ment to elect >ugy traitor in the country to the Presidential cumr °f the United ijjtates. How noble, how patriotic this cox.-comb is! But fortunately for the country the movement has proven, a still-born, verily. The only demon strations of which we have heard have been got ten up by the Democrats. From Lake Erie to the Delaware, in this State, there is not a single Re publican paper supporting him, nor do we know of a single member of the Republican party.— Certainly none ia Bedford county, and yci, we constantly see ij stated in the Democratic papers, that the gouqtry is pjive with enthusiasm over the yominaiiqa. Jf it is, we cannot ,: scc it." These statements, however, U> conrinee any man that the Fremont movement is in di rect alliance with those who desire the establish ment of the Montgomery Con stitatiou and the elec tion to the Presidency of a minion of Jeff. Davis. Friends, the nomination of Fremont will not take a score pf votes from Abraham Lincoln in this State. The Germans of Philadelphia, and else where have and are repudiating lii;c, The move ment is a complete failure. The Fogm of the RaMoU for the Constitution* ul Amendments. It is well that our friends throughout the State should properly understand tle legal form of the ballots to oe used in voting for the Constitutional amendments. Wo submit a ticket in favor of the three amendments, as provided for by the law : Fint Amendment. FOR THE AMENDMENT. Second Amendment. FOR THE AMENDMENT. Third Amendment. FOR THE AMENDMENT. —These tickets are to be folded so as to enclose the words "for the amendment." leaving outside for perusal as the ballot is distributed to tne boxes, the words "first amendment." All the amend ments are important, and it should become the duty of every man truly devoted to the Union and the Commonweaith, zealously to labor for their endorsement at the ballot box. The above suggestions we copy from the Ilar risburg Telegraph, and to them we would add, that every man who has a friend" in the army, and who desires to extend to him the privilege of ex pressing his political opinions through the ballot box, should turn out and bring out his less patri otic and less ardent neighbors to vote the amend ments through, It is probable that our adversa ries who rejoice at the defeat of the Union arms may not have iyory.l courage enough to fight the matter openly, yet they should be closely watched. What confidence can be placed in the "friends of soldiers" who feel disappointed at the repulse of the rebels in an attack upon our National Capi tol ? Who feel chagrined when Baltimore is not taken? Who are grieved when the Alabama is sunk and rejoice when Semmes escapes ? Now, then, do not trust them, bring out every vote nec essary to success, and victory will crown your ef forts and all will be well. NOTHING NEW". Many otherwise right-thinking njen are always opposed to the introduction of anything new. — ' Whether it bo a new idea in politics or a new la j bor-saving power ju mechanics, it is opposed for the selfsame reason, that, it is new. To all such we would say that the amendment of the Constitution, so as to allow soldiers to vote is nothing new, but on the contrary as a law of Penn sylvania it is at fifty-one years ojd; as will appear 011 reference to the Peqna. State Reports nth Wright. The facts there set forth by Judge Woodward (who ought to be good authority among Democrats) are in substance as follows : On the 29th of March, 1813, an act was passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, authorizing volunteers in active sen-ice to vote. This was un der the old Constitution of 1790 apd continued in foree un'.il the adoption of the pew or amended Constitution in 1838 which took effect January Ist, 1839. la 1534 a committee, of very competent con stitutional lawyers (in the language of Judge W.) which had been appointed some time previous, to revise our civil code, reported a general election law, in which, they did not hesitate to retain the substance of the act'of 1813. This report was not taken tip by the Legislature until near the close pf the session of 1839 and was then hurried ly passed. In the meantime the new Constitution had gone into effect, while the report was made under the old. The whole subject remained in this condition, the people supposing they had a law allowing vol unteers in active service to vote, until in the case ot Chase vs. Miller, May 22d. 1862, the Supreme Court pronounced the Act of 1839 allowing sol diers to vote unconstitutional. As soon as possi ! ble after this decision our Legislature took the necessary steps so to amend the Constitution as to restore to our gallant soldiers their former privi leges. enjoyed since 1813. and the people are now only asked to do their share in restoring to all the soldiers of Pennsylvania their ancient rights, and are not asked to introduce any new political ideas, nor to confer any new privileges. FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND MOKE, The continuous droppipg of water wears out rock. Strong as rebellion may be in numbers, in territory, and in that desperation which makes little much, it cannot withstand the repeated waves which are rolled against it, each one with more force and fresh determination. It has stood be yond ail of our expectations; if has continued against all of our efforts. The original line pf treason has been swung back at various points: I cities have fab en. towns been taken and even States rescued. But the rebellion yet has a military head ' nud presents an armed front. The reduction of , this—the restoration of peace—the quelling of that mutiny which argues behind cannon and breastworks evidently anticipates everything else, and is the immediate precursor of the end. We have done much. We have accomplished a great deal. The results are recorded and legible. But we have not done what we were able to do ; we have not doije all that it was needful for us to do. We have pushed back the rebels into the very heart of Georgia, and there hold them. We have severed their southern lines of communica tion from Richmond, and are advancing. New Orleans is redeemed. Farragut is at work before Mobile, and Charleston has no rest from hostile shot and shell. Tennessee is partially ours, and Western Virginia reorganized. Other successes will suggest themselves to every reader. Still we have not taken hold of the end. Still we have not the men who are sufficient to grasp at all the points of a great campaign, extending over a vaster field thap any modern war, and order peace. This fact is recognized by the Administration, in connection with a decision to end the rebellion with the existing campaign, which will commend itself to the sober judgment and deliberate approv al of all. The only legitimate consequence of the recognition and determination is published in the proclamation which calls for half a million more men. The call will surprise many and alarm many, when it should only gratify all. Large as it is, its very vastness precludes the need for another draft, and insures the accomplishment of what we have postponed duripg four years, by reason of insuffi cient means. Understanding the work to be done, our efforts have not been commensurate with our task. This will render them so. The south has its last reserves in tip" field —rboys of sixteen and men of sixty. They are risking all on the cam paign now in progress. Beyond it- they have nei ther hope nor resources. In this very juncture and critical moment they jye tp be overborne and crushed by a new levy wluch compares favorably for size with their whole army—by a levy which is sufficient to hold all fortified places arid main tain all irui>ortant points, so the disciplined and acclimated troops can move further into the rebafliotv, can move in stronger force; can preserve their communications; can detach divisions for incidental and sum up a prolonged, war in a short but active campaign. These are plainly the objects of the call, and as they are also the objects of the war, 'inconvenient as the Bomnv>n r s maybe, and difficult of realization in many places, we ap prehend a readiness of response that will again give a great credit to the persistent loyalty and deter? mined nationality of the people. We should all have been more highly gratified if this summons had nut been necessary, as we should all have rejoiced could the bitter chalice of civil war have been averted. Both havp forced upon us in opposition to our wishes, and must be met in accordance with our patrioism and our interests. The two are now one, and must be consulted together. Whatever they demand will he yielded, though the measure should run to as great an extent as during the Revolution. The draft now ordered takes place early in Sep tember, and is for one year's service, The assigued period marks the conviction of military men that such reinforcements to our existing armies will suffice to secure victory within the term. The draft occurs at as favorable a portion of tlje year as any, and ensures service in the healthiest part of the season. The crops, excepting corn and winter grain, will have been harvested; and neith er of these require that instant attention demanded by others There Is no time when the southern climate is so free from fevers and other complaints, and when comfort will inarch more hand-in-hand with dqty. The immigration that grows with growing months, and which the prospect of fur ther European complications only augments, will have reached a larger volume and placed more la bor at our disposition, - The proportion to be raised in this State and city has not been announced. The call for one hundred days men is now nearly answered, and will be fully met within ten days. The quota for the city under the present call will not vary materially from eleven thousand men. Some wards have now hansome cred its, which will weaken the demand upon them. By reawakening the spirit which burned at the com mencement, and by active employment of fitting a gencies, we may largely reduce the pressure of the demand when it comes upon us, even if it should not be wholly met by volunteering. The only way to do this is to seize the instant and commence vig orous action at once. There are six weeks for prep aration. \\ e trust they will be usefully employed, so employed that the response of our State will cotne with the foremost. And then, when the results of all this expenditure and all this labor is met in a resto red L. uion, as 'this call freshly convinces us will be the case, the prosperity paid back to the Stqte and the honor which will last forever will do much to ward compensating our outlay and gilding our lau rels. The call cannot be avoided. Let it be nobly and promptly met. — North American PROCLAMATION 111 THE PRESIDENT.

The investment of the northern defences of ashington by the enemy, for the first time in the progress of this war. commenced early last Mon day morning. That brieftinie. however, has been filled with so much hope and fear, and anxiety ami excitement, that its sudden end is hailed ail the more gratefully. On Sunday last, after de bating the forces of General Wallace at Monocracy bridge, the enemy sent a column of troops dawn the \\ ashington and Frederick turnpike. It en tered Rockville on Sunday morning, appropriated ail supplies that it could lay its hands on, and then moved on toward Washington. Five miles from Georgetown and two miles beyond the forti fications, it drove in our pickets one mile on Sun day night. At daybreak on Monday morning, skirmishing commenced within rifle shot of Fort Pennsylvania, three miles from Georgetown. The fort startled the citizens of .Georgetown by open ing its heavy guns. Skirmishing lasted all day and into the night; the enemy not- seeming in large loree enough to advance their line. Simul taneously with the appearance of this force anoth er division of troops appeared on the Seventh street road, four miles from J he city, direciy north, and immediately in front of Forts Stevens and De Russey. Here they seemed in larger force, and in skirmishing with invalid regiments and militia, our forces got the worst of it. At times the rebels were within two hundred yards of the forts and their sharpshooters picked off a good many who stuck their heads above the parapets. By Monday noon the enemy had a strong skir mish line, and some skty were killed and wound ed ; but at dusk the veteran troops came up snd advanced to the front, when fighting became se vere for skirmishing. The rebels began to use ar tillery, and Forts Slocum and De Russey opened in reply with their heavy guns. The tight, wliich was seen by hundreds of spec tators on the Seventh-street road, was very exci ting to novices. The country was well situated to see all the tiring of infantry and heavy fort artil lery, while burning residences, barns and other buildings, which had been fired by both parties to get better of each other, iightod up the fields and woods that skirt just outside the outer line of foitifieatiops. Great doubt bad existed all along as to the strength of the enemy in our front,' and much difficulty was experienced even to the end of invest ment in getting that information. Prisoners were taken who suited that the troops just in front of belonged to General Gordon's division of Ewell'a old corps, formerly Stonewall Jackson's, and now commanded by Major-Geqeral John Ear ly. and that Breckinridge. Hansom, I'mboden, and .Johnson were with the invading foree. It was ecnfidcntly thought that if the enemy intended any assault on our works it would be made on Mon day night. Accordingly, every preparation was made.— Veteran reinforcements filled the streets lead ing to the front, and the entire city was out on qiti viec. Thousands, including many ladies, rode out to see the expected demonstration, and remained during most of Tuesday wit nessing the skirmish ing, until ordered away. Monday night passed and no attack was made, and Tuesday was named as the day which would decide that question. If the enemy had fifty thousand men, as alleged in good quarters, the time of Tuesday was of vital importance to our strength, On Tuesday morn ing just after daybreak, the boom of Forts De- Kussey, Slocutu, and Stevens, four miles north of city, came reverberating over Washington. That city was all alive and astir for the great event an ticipated. Added to the excitement came & proc lamation for every able-bodied man to turn out as militia, and be mustered into service for sixty days. Citizens were seen on every hand with guns on their shoulders, while employees of depart ments and government workshops, who had Deen previously organized and difiled, turned out sev eral thousand strong. Three thousand convalescent soldiers were also obtained from the hospitals, besides veteran forces were increasing hourly by fresh arrivals. At noon intelligence of the putting of all tele graphic and railroad lines between Baltimore and Washington came to hand, and added, it was thought then, something as to the enemy's full design—Washington became isolated and so re mained thirty-six hours —Tuesday afternoon Pena sylvaniaavenije was crowded with troops marching in all directions, while an incessant flood of extras from new.-paner ofliees announcing that Fort Lin coln. situated on the Baltimore turnpike ten miles north-east of the capital, had been attacked, wrought up the excitement to the highest pitch yet reached during the invasion. In the mean while .skirmishing continued till Tuesday afternoon all along the lines, without anything new being developed in the enemy's lines ; and so Tuesday wore into night, and, notwithstanding published rumors of thp advance of the rebel loree on the south side of the Potomac, a perfect feeling of se curity prevailed, for it was then doubted if the rebels intended an assault, and if they did our for ces would prove too much for them. During the early part of the sight, their line was strong as usual, stretching front the railroad this side of Bladensburg, to Port Pennsylvania, two miles from the Potomac. The city now being perfectly isolated, many of the places of business wereclosed, and provision prices became "panicy." Flour rose in price ten dollars per barrel, and citizens found great difficulty in providing lor their families when suddenly ordered into the ranks. — Tuesday afternoon no one was allowed to go to the front without a pass, and rumor was glib enough. There was but little excitement except among the militia. It was well understood all was in readi ness by our forces to attack ou Wednesday morn ing. But day-break came, and behold the skirmish line and pickets had vanished, and the enemy was gone. Ruined fields, smouldering houses, and his dead and wounded, were all he left behind; a most sick ening memento of his visit. Cavalry followed in pursuit, and the enemy were found to be retreating toward^Frederick. A small battery had remained uear Bladensburg, fir ing at the railroad train long after the main line had retreated. Thus commenced and thus ended the rebel invasion of the District of Columbia, and investment of Washington. The enemy's troops came nearer the city than they ever liave before. At several points in their lines the city could be plainly seen, and objects of spec ial interests designated, while from some of the public buildings skirmishing co ild be seen with the aid of a eoumionopera glass. The rebel head quarters were at Silver Springs, ip the residence of F. P. Blair. Sr. This was about the ouly house spared I'roin the flames on the seventh-street road. Postmaster-General Blair's residence, adjoining it, was burned with all its contents, parly and Breckinridge gore two days at Blair's bouse, and it was thiough the influence of Breckinridge that it did not share the late of his son's. The President and Secretary Stanton showed their anxiety in the situatipu, by being present at the wharf were steamers were unloading troops, and hastening them to the front, while the former, in company with Gegerai Halleck. was at the front a good degl of the time. All three were in Fort Stevens, when several were killed near them. FROM GENERAL GRANT. WASHINGTON, July 15.—An arrival from City Poiut to-day reports that there has been consider able skirmishing during several days past along our lines. The Rebels yesterday morning fired upon the steamers Georgo Weeius and United States from a field battery, near Wilson's Land ing. The former had a portion of her stern knocked off, and three balls passed through the latter. General Sheridan has gone on another raid, WASHINGTON, July 14.—Reports from the Army of the Potomac say that the Rebels have manoeuvred their troops in a manner which seems to augur an attack on our rear from the last ac counts. General Hill's corps was moying around our left with the iutcntion, says military men, of getting in our rear. General Kicketts' division is in front of Gen. Butler's forces, and a portion of Ixingstreet's di vision is in front of the Ninth corps. The Weldon Railroad, which was exit by Gen. Wilson, in his late raid, has been repaired by the Rebels, and is used by them. Thirteen trains ran to and from Petersburg on Sunday, The mail steamer Keyport arrived here this j morning from City Point. She brought up the armj mail and a number of men 01 the' 155 th Ohio, (one hundred days' men.) who are sick with fever. There were some indications that the R ;b --els are meditating an attack upon Grant, and they appear to be cautiously feeling our lines. — Considerable skirmishing has taken place within the past few days at different points along the lines. The Rebels seem to imagine that Grant has been so much weakened by sending troops to the relief of Washington that they can risk an attacjc Our army is much in hopes that the Rebels will come out to make an attack under that impres sion. The Rebels have taken advantage of the with drawal of some of our gunboats from the James river, and yesterday morning they fired upon the steamers George Weeins' and United States from a field battery stationed near Wilson's Landing. The Weems had a portion of her stern knocked off. aud three shots passed through the United States, not doing much damage how ever. As the Iveyport came down the James river she saw a large body of Rebel cavalry on the banks a short distance below Wilcox's. The Iveyport put on all steam, and passed them with a full headway, but Ihe Rebels made no demonstration against the boat. Nothing has as yet been heard from Sheridan, who has gone on another raid with a large force of cavalry. He will, doubtless, be heard from within a day or twa Rebel deserters continue to come within our lines in considerable numbers. The Keyport brought up twenty-one, under guard of a detach ment of the 2oih New York, commanded by Lieutenant Mulker. This officer also had five of our men uuder sentence of a court martial, inclu ding a Captain. The Keyport also brought up three families of refugees, who resided in Prince George county, near Petersburg. They brought with tnem their bedding and clothing, but in other respects £sey were perfectly destitute. j CONyiHUEiJ KKTKEATOF THE REBELS. From the Evening Telegraph. M ASHING-Eosr, July If). —Beyond the steady ad vance of our columns in the direction of Edward's Ferry, some thirty miles from Washington, at which point the Rebels crossed into Virginia, noth ing is to lie observed worth recording. Through the country between that point and this c.'tv. at the present time, everything is quiet. (n the Rockville road, so recently the scene of ac tive operations, nothing is to be observed, except the occasional passage of a wagon, and here and there a strangling soldier.

The town was uninjured, with the exception that a few house's were struck by bullets. General Ord was at Tenallytown yesterday af ternoon. and General Wight was said to be at Poolesville. During the fight at Rockville we lost two killed and thirty wouuded. No doubt seems to exist that the Rebels have pessed through Al die, and have effected tbeir escape through Ash by's Gap. The last of the Rebels crossed the river about daylight yesterday morning, consisting of a rear guard of fifteen hundred cavalry. Their rear had a smart skirmish with our advance. Before ten o'clock yesterday morning we occupied Edward's Ferry in considerable fbjee, and troops pouring in that direction. The latest from the front indicates that the invaders have suoeeded in gaining the mountain passes. BEDFORD INQUIRER BULLETIN. V Special Dispatch to the Bedford Irufuirrr : PHILADELPHIA, June 20.
