In view of the foregoing, a friendly
paper in foreign country-the Mont
real Witaess-very pertinently remarks
as follows: Now all of these were war
like and reasonable acts, and ali Ysre
committed before Mr.. Lincoln entered Of
fee. 1t is simply ridiculous to say that
he commenced the war. On the 18th
of April Fort Sumpter was .bombarded;
on the 18th it was surrendered, and on
the 14th it was, evacuated. 1t was
not till tho last,hained date that Lincoln
tissded his first call for volunteersDt6
put down the rebellion in the limited
States With these facts before them,
can any one continue to call the present
struggle in the United States Mr.. Lin
coins war? o"" '''''A"oi' ~ "''N"

A Humorous Sacrilege.
Thc Funniest Thing on Record.

One Of the funniest things that ever
occurred, or perhaps ever will occur,
took place at the regular opening Of the
Convention at Chicago.
On the conclusion ofthe benediction
by Bishop WUITEHoUsE, which const-
ituted part of the opening exercises,
he commenced the recitation of the
Lords Prayer, in which the delegates
attempted, by request, Join in concert
and it is described by an eyewitness,
as the richest of all rich affairs. The
reverend gentleman, and he had but
articulated the opening words of the
prayer, when confusion confounded
ran through the whole assembly. Had
they been called on to JON in the cho-
rus of "Pass the Flowing Bowl" or
'The Bonnie Blue Flag,' or"Hnst an
other Drink before We Co." they wo'd
have been equal to the emergency, but
the Lords Prayer was "too many" for
them. However for the sake of har-
monyfO they started in. One delegate
whose early education evidently had

campaign i think is thd most brilliant OF
the war. Itis said that great many
of their militia have disbanded and
gone home or to the woods. One thing
is certain--the rebels have got their
last man and boy in the service. Their
women and children at home, all of the
poorer class, are really suffering for
food and the necessaries of life. 1t is
worse than folly for them to attempt to
hold outmuch longer, and nothing but
the iron hand Of military law keeps
their armies,. or portion of them to-
gether. The poor whites are full as ig-
norant, and more of the slave than the
the negroes themselyes-but for that
the war would stop to-day, and yet there
are more at the north, mean enough to
wish that these southern aristocrats
the shareholders, would succeed and
are laboring with all their might to give
them aid and comfort. s.c

& The watchman states that the despe-
radoes were not over l5 In number.
Capt Bell, leader of the gang, and
two others, got on board in Detroit.
" He said he had some sick friends at
Sandwich that he wished the Parsons
to call for, and the boat having stop
ped there three more got on. When
the boat stopped at Maiden some eight
or ten more men rushed on, bringing
with them q good sized box, which al
forwards was found to contain hatch
cts with long stout axe-helves rough
ly inserted in some of them, and q
smaller box containing cartridges.
The men who got on at Detroit,
and those who got on at Maiden, pre-
tended to be strangers to- each other,
even drinking at the bar side by side,
without recognition. All during Mon
day Capt. Bell kept about the wheel
house asking a great many questions.
When near Kelly's Island, Capt
Bell asked the watchman if he had
any bagging and grease. He said he
had, and produced it, when the rebel
made him construct out of this materi-
al, dipped in camphene, three large
oombustible balls, ono Of which was
attached to the end Of q three-foot, stick
