Who Began the War

AS the opponents Of the war, aud
peace on any terms" party progress in
their hostility to it, they become more
and more unscrupulous in their asser-
tions, and now charge that the war Wss
forced upon the country by the Lincoln
Administration What are the facts
in the case? On the 22d of July, 1851,
the day after the Bull Run disaster, the
Congress Of the United States made the
TO flowing record:
"Thot the present deplorable war has
been forced upon the country by the
disunionists Of the Southern States now

Oddities of the Draft,

There are strange freaks performed
by the cOnscriptiOn. q, The Philadelphia
North American says:
"ln this city, a young man in the
Twentieth ward was drawn while the
sombre equipage of death was bearing
his remains to the grave. Only one
Catholic father has been drafted. The
surgeon of the Eastern Penitentiary
was forced to listen to the sweet voice
of the conscripting clerk. One of the
Professors of the Girard College started
with fair bride on avoiding excursion,
but while he was luxuriating in the
honeymoon the wheel of fate slipped
his patronym through its opeuing,-
There are lawyers drawn also. A good
story is told of Leonard Fletcher, one
of the number: A drafted man was com
planning of his fate to friend of
Fletcher. Said the friend, "why did
you not see to it like Fletcher, and
have yourself drawn as an officer?"-
"What do you mean" was the reply.
"Oh, don'tyou know that Fletcher has
drawn a Brigadier GenerSlship?" said
tie quizzical friend. This enraged the
conscript, and he swore in round terms
that it was singular some men were so
favored" .

FLAX IN ILL INoIs.-This year ha.
witnessed everywhere in the north a
largely increased crop of fax, raised
not as heretofore, for the seed alone
bat for the fibre, to supply the wearing
material deficiency 5rodted by the sad
downfall of the braggart King Cotton.
In Illinois, correspondent writes, fax
was "very generally sown, and in some
sections largely, some putting in as
much as one hundred acres. In Cen
tral Illinois the straw is short; but the
seed is superior. In my travels l no
ticed that the little old spinning wheel
is out, buzzing once more; that the ba-
by is again trying to get its hands in
the flyers, and that the ladies are knit
ting linen summer stockings. I actu.
ally saw piece of checked white and
blue fax pocket handkerchiefs. also
saw several men wearing pantaloons
made from fax which has lain for years
in the loft of the barn"
The above will bring vividly to the
minds of many of our older readers,
pleasant remembrances of the "good old
times" when they were young; when
the spinning wheel and loom were seen
in every household, and before "King"
Cotton had yet been raised to the throne
which he has since occupied for so
many years, until now the rebellion
of his subjects has rendered his seat in
secure, and even threatens to restore to
power his ancient rival. How strange
are the chances and changes wrought
by the great magician, Timel

A Visit 20 r obinson Crusoe's Island.
The following interesting informa
tion is derived from the San francisco
Times:
While the ship Golden Rocket was
on her last passage from Boston to San
Francisco, Capt. Pendleton determined
to stop at the Island of San Juan Fer.
nandez to take in water. On the 14th
of March he arrived in the bay of St.
j Oseph and anchored on the opposite
side from that on which Robinson Crusoe
alexander Selkirk, the exile Scotch
man. lived. The casks were taken on
shore, and while the crew were at work
the passengers, among whom were fifty
ladies, rambled about in different direc-
tions. The island is twenty-five miles
long by about four in breadth. The
land is very high, raising rugged, pre-
clpitous peaks; one of them, called
Tunkcue, $500 feet above the level of
the sea. The peaks are generally over
hanging with clouds. The valleys are
exceedingly fertile, the grass growing to
the height Of six or eight feet Figs,
strawberries, peaches and cherries
abound in their season. The Golden
Rocket was there in the season of
peaches, and the valleys and hillsides
were full of trees loaded down with de-
licious fruit, Strawberries flourish best
in December and January. There are
three remarkable caves in the sides of
the hill facing the harbor, about thirty
feet in length, twenty-five in width and
about the same in height. The inhab-
itantS now number but fourteen, Of
whom Messrs, Day and Kirkadie, from
Valparaiso, are the chief persons, they
have been appointed overseers of the
Island by the Chilian Government
An immense number Of goats are run

dance of fish are taken on the coast,

NEEDLESS FEARs.-Some of the Cop.
perhead and Butternut papers deprecate
charges of disloyalty against them and
their adherents, under the plea that
such allegations give encouragement to
the rebels, by leading them to think
that they have a multitude of friends
in the North. Such fears are utterly
needless, as the leading copperheads
have long since informed the rebels Of
their numbers, their plans and their
projects to aid them. Such being the
case, the expression of these fears is
certainly work of supererogation, to
say the least, and borders pretty close
upon the borders of hypocrisy,-[San.
