Canada.

The Canadians do not respond with alacrity to the appeal of their Yankee neighbors for ‘"aid and comfort."’ They scout the idea of their recruiting in that quarter, and in response gently remind the adherents of the United States of a certain recruiting event on their side of the line during the Crimean war.

The Montreal Gazette has the following on the secession of Virginia:

‘ "The further news seems to indicate that the old and important State of Virginia has seceded. If this proves true we fancy all is over with the United States of America. If the South is thoroughly in earnest, it cannot be conquered by the North."

’ The same article says that the story that 600 Canadians from Quebec and Montreal are going to march under the Northern standard, is a ‘"ridiculous canard "’
