Who Began the War?

In his letter by which he signifed
his acceptance of tho Chicago nomi-
nation, Gen. Mcclellan remarks that
"the preservation of our Union was
the sole avowed object for which the
war was commenced" This discovery
is certainly a remarkable one. We
have not so read curront history. The
rebels commenced the war for the
destruction of the Union and the Firm
ing Post has grouped the following
rebel acts of war which transpired be
fore the United States Government
made any attempt to defend itself.
/ We annex these acts OF rebellion, Civ
ing the exact dates Of their occurrence:
Dec. n, 1860, capture Of Fort Moul-
trie and Castle Pinckney by South
Carolina troops. The revenue cutter
Aiken was also captured.
Jan. 3, 1861, capture Of Fort Pulas-
Xxi by the Savannah troops
4 Jan. 3, 1861, the arsenal Mt Mount
Vernon, Alabama, with 10000 stand
of arms, seized by the Alabama troops
Jan. 4, Fort Morgan in Mobile bay
taken by Alabama troops.
Jan 8, the steamship Star of tht
West fired into and driven off by thu
= South Carolina batteries on Morris
Island.
4 Jan. 10, Forts Jackson, st PHILLIP
and Pike, near New Orleans, captures
% by Louisiana troops,
Jan u, capture Of Baton Rouge al
4 senal by louisiana troops.
/; Jan. II, capture OF Pensacola nav
yard and Forts Barranacas and No
Rae
Jan. 81, New Orleans mint and Gus
Z, tom House seized.
II Feb 2, seizure of Little Rock ars,
nal by Arkansas troops.
Feb. 4, capture Of the revenue GU
. ter Cnss by the Alabama authorities.
- Feb 1G, Col Waite, U. S. A., an
l. SanAntonio, Texas, captured by &c
Ben McCulloch and his Texan ranger
I'd March 2, the revenue cutter Dodl
> seized by the Texan authorities.
e; In view Of the foregoing facts whi'

to ignore, and which no loyal Amer
es can could hardly forget, it is differ
,h to determine why any attempt to fl
IN sify history should be made where t

every man who can read.

al mistake if he supposes those who c
nv themselves democrats read history

We presume, in the choice of
President Of the United States, that
is to be made at Burlington next week,
due precaution will be taken to put
in nomination those and those only
who arc genuine and efficient standard
bearers In the present contest for
Union and Freedom. lnasmuch MS it
IS good policy for party to distribute
its honors as widely as possibly, we
presume no oflice-holdcr either in the
National or State Government could
expect or hope for the honor Of being
selected ns q presidential elector. For
IL like reason, no one, heretofore nom
mated, could hardly expect to wear
again the hunors Of such an Office.
There are in the Union Party Of
Vermont an abundance Of good mon
and true who would hold aloft the
Union banner and hold it to the last.
Who're there are SO many, it may pos
sibly be embarrassing to select, but,
we doubt not, the selection viii be
carefully and wisely made. The peo-
pie should heed the call Of the STATE
committee and not fail to be present
Such matters cannot be done by proxy
This duty is to be performed once il
four years. We trust the call Of tn,
State committee will not be neglected

Sr. Louis, Oct 4.
A train which left Hannibal yester-
day morning for Nashville, ran off the
track II miles from Palmyra and soon
afterwards WAS visited by a band of
ten guenllas, who searched the train
for soldiers, seized the express safe
containing about 100000, took three
rovolyers from the passengers and
compelled one employee to fire the
cars. The freight train which ar
rived shortly after the accident was
also burned. Three soldiers were on
the cars, but through the aid of the
passengers managed to change their
uniform for that of civilians dresses
and escaped.
