Canada and the war. --We copy the following significant paragraph from the New York Herald, of Thursday last: Jeff. Davis & Co. have a newspaper in Quebec, Canada, called the Mercury, through which they preach their secession and rebellious doctrines. It calls our blockade an insult to the civilized world, as well as to the Southern Confederacy, and advises England and France to immediately recognize the independence of "the Confederate States of America. "
hen Abe Lincoln, King of the Abolitionists at Washington city, had heard how Jeff. Davis had taken Fort Sumter, and how the inhabitants of Virginia had made peace with the children of Jeff. Davis, and were among them. 2. That he feared greatly, because Richmond was a great city, and as one of the royal cities, and all the meunto me and help me, that we may smite Virginia, for it hath made peace with Jeff. Davis. 5. Therefore, the five Abolition Governors gathered their armies togethsas, and made war against Virginia. 6. And the men of Virginia sent unto Jeff. Davis, at Montgomery, saying, slack not thy hand from thy servants, but come up tol the Abolitionists of the North are gathered together against us. 7. So Jeff. Davis ascended from Montgomery, and all the men of valor with him. 8. And the at before it, for the Lord fought for the children of the South. 11. And Jeff.

Jefferson Davis certainly dead. --We once heard an anecdote to the following effect. We know not whether it is to be found in Joe Millk Herald are as obstinate in their faith as the Irish sailor.

Davis from Louisville, and placed no credit in the reports of his demise, is not the speciad by your correspondent on the evening of the 5th inst., announcing Davis's death, which was shown to the President and members of the Cabine obtain the information first. There is not the slightest doubt of Davis's death." Bennett himself has his doubts about the truth of towledges is not verified; but, by way of consolation, he assures the Yankees that President Davis has been in bad health for several years.
Flag of truce. --A flag of truce arrived here yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock from Fortress Monroe. Its object was to return the following individuals to their homes in the South: Mrs. William C. Benthall, of Norfolk; Mrs. Phillip, Mrs. Davis, and Miss Phillip, of Richmond; Mrs. Gaby; Miss Kean and Mrs. Kean and two children, of Savannah; and three of our soldiers wounded at Cheat Mountain. These ladies and gentlemen give glowing descriptions of the manner in which they were treated by the people of Baltimore in passing through that city. The soldiers, especially, were perfect lions; hands were extended to them to grasp in every direction; and when the hand was removed, something having the look, ring, and value of gold was found adhering to their palm. Complete suits of clothes were also, as by magic, bestowed upon them, and had their stay been longer in the city there is no calculating what would have been the amount of benefits conferred upon them.
