The BEGINNyNG OF THE WAR.-To show
how utterly false, says the Louisville Jour-
nal, the assertion of the Copperhead leaders
is, that the Administration is justly charge
able with the war. we give below short ex-
tract from the 9 Southern History of the
War" by Edward \. Pollard. until a short
time ago one of the editors of the Richmond
Examiner. Mr.. Pollard sums up the doings
of the Confederates before the Inauguration
of Mr. Lincoln as iollows:
On the incoming Of the Administration IF
Abraham Lincoln. on the 18th Of March, the
rival Government of the South had perfected
its organization the separation had been
wiiened and evcnomed by the ambidexterity
and perfdy of President Buchanan. The
Southern people, however, still hoped for the
peaceful accomplishment Of their indepen-
dence, and deplored war between the two
sections, as policy detrimental to the civ
ilized world" The revolution, in the mean
time. had rapidly gathered strength, not only
in moral power. but in the means OF war AMI
muniments OF defense. Fort Moultrie and
Castle pinckney had been captured by the
South Carolina troops ; Fort Pulaski, the de-
fence of Savannah had been taken, the arsen-
al at Mount Vernon, Alabama. with twenty
thousand stand of arms. had been seized by
the Alabama troops Fort Morgan in Mobile
Bay, had been taken; Fort jackson. St. Phil
ip, and Pike, near New Orleans, had been
captured by the Louisiana troops; the New
Orleans Mint and Custom House had been
taken: the Little Rock Arsenal had been
seized by the Arkansas troops, though Ar
kansas had refused to secede; and on the
10th of February General T~iggs had trans
terred the public property in Texas to the
