SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1863 THE DETROIT CONVENTION. The business men of the country are un usually well represented at the. Commer cial Convention now in session at Detroit. There is, of coursd, much diversity of opinion among delegates who represent constituencies of conflicting views and in terests. But we rejoice to see evidences of general unanimity in such au imposing as tiernblage on three great points, viz : That Special care should be taken to foster and protect all our industrial interests ; that pe cuniary Considerations harmonize with and strengthen that noble instinct of loyalty which prompts all good men to give a hearty and cheerful support to our Govern ment ; and that, for the advantages which Great Britain has realized heretofore from the Reciprocity Treaty we must either be rows?. ded hereafter by a great extension of privileges in her British American posses sions, or abandon the reciprocity policy al together. The movement being made by ultra par tisans, and by the special advocates of the interests of foreign importers, for the re vival of a free_trade yolicy in this Country, evidently meets witli no favor in the judg ment of the Detroit Convention. Its meat_ hers, though almost exclusively devoted to commerce, understand too well the relative value anti importance of our foreign and internal trade to seek to give a new im pulse to the former at the expense of the latter. And they see in the burdens im posed upon the nation by the war for free dom, a paramount necessity, never feltbefore, of giving to the genius and industry, of our country trn ample opportunity for supply ing by home labor home wants ; and of en abling our own citizens to sustain them selves and the Government by as many diverse occupations as they can skilfully conduct. These views are well expressed in the resolutions adopted at the tuggestion of the Committee on Agriculture and Manufactures, viz ! " 11' her nos, Owing to the heavy taxation ne• eessarily levied upon the people of the United States to meet the interest and expenses of the Government, it has become more imperative upon the. Government to nurse had encourage the industrial pursuits of the nation; there fore Resolved,. That the agricultural, mechanical, manufaetUring, and all other branches of American industry should be alike secured in the enjoyment of permanent and remuner ative recompense, inasmuch as American la bor and its products is the main source upon which the Government must rely for its needed revenue to meet the annual demands upon its treasury, and its only safe dependence. Reaolred, That in order to perform this duty, as well as this financial necessity, a dis crimination in favor Of those productions upon which American labor depends for its permanent prosperity should be exercised by the Government when imposing duties upon foreign imports, because when American in dustry and labor languishes, its ability to re spond to excise demands must be correspond ingly impaired. Resolved. That such action is now a more absolute duty of the Govermneut, inasmuch as its hosts of heroes who have on the battle field Vindicated its honor and maintained our tag" are returning to those varied pnrsnits which they left to defend the country, and to which they now again look for their liveli hood, and which Government, in deference to their patriotism and its own wants, should render as remunerative as possible." The Reciprocity Treaty has practically proved of immense advantage to the peo ple of Canada, and of comparatively little use to our own citizens. It furnishes our Northern neighbors a splendid market for their products, and yields us but limited opportunities in return. It gives the Cana dians as great advantages on our soil as if they were Americans, yet confers upon Americans no equivalent in their intercourse with Canada. Our Consul General was present to oppose the renewal of the treaty, on the ground that if the Canadians were deprived of its privileges they would soon favor annexation as the only practical method of having free trade With the United States, and thus confer favors and benefits, as well as receive them ; while, if it is re newed, they will continue to enrich them selves at our expense. The Committee on Reciprocity, after giv ing a hearing to the Canadian Representa tives and to our COnstil General, reported the following resolutions, which have elici ted an animated debate : Bemired. That this Convention do approve of the action of the Government of the United States in giving notice to the Government of Great Britain of the wish to terminate the treaty of June 6th, 1 Lid. Rem2red, That this Convention do respect fully request the President of the United States to enter into negotiations with the Govern went of Great Britain, having in view the ex ecution of a treaty between the two countries for reciprocal commerce and intercourse be tween us and the several provinces of British North America, including ...British Columbia, Selkirk Settlements; and N ancouver , s Island, based on principles which shall be just and equitable to all parties, and which shall also include the free navigation of the St. Law rence and other rivers of British North Ame rica, with such improvements upon the rivers and enlargements of the canals as shall render them adequate for the requirements of the West in connecting with the ocean. AMERICAN INDESTRY. The superficial and plausible idea that prevent Cheapness in the price of commodi ties is the primary requirement of the pros perity of a community, has been the cause of terrible injury to our national growthand improvement in industrial pursuits. If the English manufacturer, with all his advantages of immense capital and his ab solute control over bands of starving ope ratives, could give us muslin or cloth at even a very slightly lower price than they could be manufactured at home, under all the present disadvantages of inexperience and deficient capital, we were taught that it was our best policy to purchase from him. When, as a direct consequence of this mode of action, our mills were closed, and the - workmen sent adrift to seek less re munerative, because less skilled, employ ment, we were left entirely at the mer cy of the foreign manufacturd. The British capitalists, after having combined, as was frequently the ease, to sell their goods below their value, in order to crush out our manufactures, were at liberty, when that work - was well accomplished, to repay themselyes for past losses by enhancement of prices. All hopes of a home competition being thus thoroughly destroyed, it only remained for us to grow the cotton and send it abroad, buying it again at a price which gave support to the :foreign work man and a profit to the foreign manufac turer, paying, of course, besides; the cost Of carriage twice across the ocean, as raw material and manufactured article ; and it was thus we bought cheap I In the light of recent events we have learned, also, that this conduct was in reality building up an inimical power, which 11'OUld be ever ready to assail us whenever a condition of things should arise that would threaten its stpremacy over our trade. The war has shown. that by Great _Britain the privilege of manufac turing our cotton for our use in her mills was more prized than right, truth justice, and all her much-vaunted philanthropy. Yet, during the past, the masses of the community could not he brought to believe that a slight protection which would start our mills, save the ocean carriage and the wages and profits swallowed abroad, with the advantage of giving remunerative em ployment to our own citizens, would soon create a capital which' would enable uS, with our supreme facilities, to speedily un dersell the world, at least in our own market. With a people most especially fitted for mechanical employments, recognized by the whole world as ingenious, inventive, and pre-eminently successful in all depart ments of machinery—particularly in labor saving and time-saving contrivanceswe have, by an insane system of legislation, compelled ourselves to become an agri cultural people, depending upon the raw productions of our soil and the rawer pro ducts of our mines, which a bountiful na ture has supplied. Fortunately, Nature is very kind to the American laborer. She • has abundant harvests ready to answer to his most care less culture. Her great prairies almost spontaneously offer him food, and when he has ignorantly and negligently disregarded her simple requirements, or treated her bounty with careless extravagance, she offers millions of gold to cover the deficits, and whole Californias to straighten hiS ac counts with a world which should be in his debt. PARLIAMENTARY MATTERS On last Thursday there was -the com mencement, in "the United ICingdem of Great Britain and Ireland," of the most ex_ citing as well as the most costlyparliamen tary election that has taken phtee in . 4, the old country" gine° the passing - of the Re form Bill, in 1832. We notice it because we firmly believe that on its issue depends the continuance of our amity with England. If the liberal interest should prevail, Lord PALMERSTON will remain in office, and he has the good sense to know that England's proper policy is to remain on good terms with the United States. If the Tories ob tain a majority, there will be an end to Lord PALMERSTON'S administration ; Lord Dratny will come in as prime minister (i. e. as virtual ruler of the British Empire,) and we know that this excitable and earnest "Hotspur of debate" has been the staunch est advocate Of Southern rebellion" and of JEFFERSON DAVIS as its head, that ever spoke in Parliament. We have carefully exaniined the reports from the election dis tricts, and our belief is that there will be a .great change in the personality of the House iof Commons, but not much change in its Pontieg- If we are correct in our conclu sion, PALMERSTON will continue in office. The Imperial Parliament, as it has been designated ever since the infamous parch ment Union of 1800, consists of the Lords and the Commons. There are 457 mem bers of the House of Lords, which is some times called "the Upper House." They correspond with our Senate in Washington, except that, with few exceptions, they hold their seats by virtue of their rank, and arc hereditary, whereas our Senators are elected legislators. The House of Lords consists of two archbishops and twenty-four bishops for England, and four Protestant prelates for Ireland. These are the "spiritual lords," who are only lords of Parliament, and not peers, by a decision of the House in 1672. The lords temporal are far more nu merous, and are peers of the realm. They consist of 23 dukes (including the Prince of Wales and his cousins, the Duke of Cam bridge and King of Hanover,) 19 mar quises, 110 earls, 22 viscounts, and 209 barons. There also are 16 Scotch repre sentative peers—elected at each new Parlia ment—and 28 representatives of Irish peer age, chosen for life. Many of the Scotch and Irish nobility are not peers of Parlia ment; and, on the other hand, many of them, also holding English peerages, are. Of the 457 peers entitled to sit and speak and vote in the House of Lords, not one twentieth usually take the trouble of attend ing Parliament day after day. The ma jority in that assembly is hostile to the PAL MERSTON adMilliStratiOlL There are 658 members in the House of Commons. Of these, 256 are elected to represent counties in England, Wales, Scot land, and Ireland ; 396 represent boroughs, and 6 represent Universities. To put it another way, England and Wales have 500, Scotland has 53, and Ireland has 105 mem bers in each House of Commons. It may lie news to some of our readers, that no mem ber of either House of Parliament, peer or commoner, receives the slightest payment by Keay of salary, though, the session, - lasting for six months, involves half a year's resi dence in London, nor yet get one sixpence for "mileage" or any other expense out of pocket. It follows, therefore, that a Mart must follow lago's advice to Roderig,o, and put money in his purse, if he wants to sit in Parliament. Neither can it be alleged that he has any "outside" or "lobby" chances%of enriching himself at the public expense. 'To be a Parliament-man is to have a certain station in society and before the public which mere wealtlicannotusually procure. The House of Commons, which is sup posed and which ought to represent the people, is., on the contrary, a highly aristo cratic body. Out of its 658 membem 814 are members of the aristocracy, (sons, grandsons, uncles, brothers, cousins, or marriaze connexions of peers,) 104 are lawyers, and only 64 represent trades, manufactures ; and arts. Tiu►t peers' rela tives should nominally represent the coin monalty of the land is an anomaly which offends the British people. But unless there be a revolution, Parliament will never alter the system. In the General Election, which trill be fully under way in a few weeks from this time, there will be contests, as far as a very close scrutiny enables us to judge, in 36 English counties; in 2 Welsh; in 11 Scotch ; and in 9 Irish. Also, in 66 Eng lish boroughs ; in 1 Welsh ; in 4 Scotch ; and in 23 Irish. Perhaps there may be even more. Even this involves contests for over three hundred seats, and if the old members should be successful in half the contests, there will be 140 new men in the next House of Commons. It will he some tune before these strangers are disciplined into party subjection on either side, so that they may be relied on to vote "the right nay" at the gall of the MiniSterial Or Opposition whippers-in. PALMERSTON will be rt-elected, of course, for the little borough of Tiverton, where at least one member of every voter's family has been provided for with a good life appointment in the public service. Sir CHARLES WOOD, who retires from the borough of Halifax, is not quite sure of a seat for any other place, but it is whispered that he will be raised to the peerage, as Baron Halifax. Mr. GLADSTONE will be strongly opposed at Oxford University, on account of his ultra-liberal opinions, but will probably be returned for South Lan cashire, and his eldest son is making a great effort to get elected for the curious old city of Chester. Joint BRIGHT is sure of his seat for Birmingham, but little ROEBUCK will be opposed at Sheffield. Lord Joux RUSSELL, being " a belted Earl" now, need have no fears for a parliamentary seat ; but his eldest son, Lord AMDERLEY, a youth of 21, who, if elected, will be the smallest sized man in the Commons, is candidate for Leeds, having promised to vote for every liberal and ultra-liberal question which the electors named to him. JOHN STUART MILL is likely to be elected for Westminster. He has been the steady friend of this country all through the rebellion, but is wholly unused to public speaking, though he Writes well, and is a politician of the doctrinaire order—proverbially an im practicable order of men, who split hairs when they should boldly assert general principles. MT. THOMAS HUGHES (author of " Toni Brown's Schooldays," one of the best books of modern times) is a candidate for Lambeth, but has not very much chance of success. Hopson, erst "the Railway King," who was reported as ruined, but is still worth some -Y-20,000 a year, is up again at Sunderland, with many prospects of being elected. In short, a great many "chops and, changes" may be anticipated; but the result of the General Election, we believe, will be to give Lord PALMERSTON - about as large a majority as he has had in the Commons for the last three years. It is not much of a majority, to be sure, but it will suffice to keep hina in office— probably until death compels him to drop the reins of Empire. FATAL ORNAMENTS.-01.1r local columns chronicled, yesterday, a fatal accident which resulted from the fall of a balcony and its cast-iron railing, in Delaware ave nue, below Vine street. We are sure there is mechanical skill enough among all the builders of our city to devise some better plan of attaching these balconieS to build ings. We have a personal knowledge of at least twenty just such Damocles' swords as the one our reporters speak of, on some of the principal streets of our city. They are swords of Damocles, for they are suspended by the flimsiest of supports just over the heads of the hundreds and thousands who pass by on Ch estnut and Market streets every day, with just as much likolihood of falling as that on Dela ware avenue. Some provision should be made by Councils to prevent these orna ments, or whatever they are, from being nothing more than Pasted to the sides of the buildings they adorn. If balconies must be used, let them be so firmly fastened that one who passes under or _stands upon them may not be in constant terror. it it II II . 11 r • II II A I • ' JULY 15,1 op DAY after day the ,telegraph reßorts Some new token of the rapid growth ansFdevelop ment orour great trans-Mississippi empire.

Then come wondrous stories of the pro ductiveness of the silver mines of Nevada and the gold mines of Colorado; and bril liant descriptions of the variety and extent of the mineral resources of the region which but a few years ago was regarded chiefly as the home of polygamous Mormons, the haunt of merciless Indians, and the stamp ing-ground of myriads of buffaloes. Parson Brownlow on Returning Rebels. (From the Knoxville Whig, sth instant. 3 Those who are in sympathy with returning rebels are suddenly enamored of the virtues of repentance and pardon, and no parable of the world's history has such attractions for thorn as the parable of the Prodigal Son. They SCOM never to wesay in quoting this parable as ono of unequaled beauty and pathos. It is interest ing to note the points of difference between the Prodigal Son and our returning rebels. First, the Prodigal Son did not secede; he went with his father's consent, and as the Scriptures indicate, with his blessing. Next, lie teeni; he did not stay and. viDify- the Old man in his own house. Ile asked for something to start him in the world; he did not present a Pistol to the old man's breast and demand his greenback's or watch. He received the portion his father gave him ; he did not press it—a modern South ern name for stealing. And receiving it, he started out "to seek his fortune." He did not retire to the south. side of the old man's farm, and join a band of robbers who were plundering the Old Mall and his - law-abiding neighbors. Receiving his portion, he quietly took his e'ourdey into a far country. 1 many he repented of his folly, not because the old man whipped him into repentance, but because be "Cause to himself," and saw that he had. wasted his substance in riotous living. He went back home, not with murder in his heart, boasting how many he had killed, and threat ening what he would do, but he. bowed down in lionest Contrition, and asked all sorts of pardon. He didn't return saying, "I have fought you four years, and until I was over powered," but he went back crying, " lather, I have sinned against lica.ven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son," and imploringly said, "Make me as one of thy hired servants." He went home, becauSe, throughout his entire course of riol ous living, his heart was there. He did not return demanding his "rio•hts, ,, his property and back rents, lie did no ask instant pardon upon the faith of an - oath of amnesty, but proposed to prove his repentance genuine by his works. The story of the Prodigal Sen is one of sin cere, deep, heartfelt, and rohmtary repentance for a great wrong. Do our returning rebels come repenting of their unparalleled crimes? As lon as rebellion showed any signs of suc cess, did they show any sign of repentance? Are they coming back because they love the Vision, or were about tO " perish with hun her?" All who return peaceably to their omes, cultivate friendly relations,. and air stain from hostile acts, discountenancing every attempt at disorder, should be met with the same spirit, and treated with leniency. When they manifest a hostile spirit, make them bite the dust. - Tim Tomb of President Lincoln. The tomb in which the President's remains, together with those of hislittle son, are placed, is kept carpeted with fresh flowers ; and about, and upon the coffin as they lie in view are gar lands and clusters of buds and blossoms, ever fresh and fragrant, so that the very breath of the sepulchre is rendered redolent and pure. Looking into the tomb the visitor can discern nothing offensive-n 0 token of the " damp vault's dayless gloom"--decm himself gazing into some floral cave whose tenants are the graces and summer nymphs. The taste which is thus displayed in render ing the vault attractive is most commendable, and will brighten the recollection of everypil grim who has here gazed upon the dead. Mr. Willis, in addition to this, has also opened a book npon which every visitor can register his name and append such remarks as the scenes may suggest to his Mind. Since the 14th of May last some two thousand names of visitors have thus been registered, representatives of every State in the Union, and also the Cana das. One hack upon every day during the week, and two upon the Sabbath,are kept run ning between the city and the cemetery for the accommodation of visitors, and all this has been done since the remains of our late Presi dent were placed at rest in this pleasant burial place, since Oak Ridge has held the dust of this great man. And m making this notice we would conclude by adding that this isnot only to be the resting place of the President, but there is to be erected a pile to his memory which shall stand through all ages to come. The rising ground immediately in the rear of the tomb has been selected as the site of the President's monument. Three acres upon this beautiful spot was selected by the Monument Association on Saturday last, and here it has been decided to build the shaft. The beauty and appropriateness of this Site are such as would recommend it to the minds of all, and_ we are pleased to know so agreeable a selec tion has been made.—Spriagileta (lii.) Journal. The Fourth In Atlanta. By - the military stationed in this city and its vicinity, the day that gave birth to what is now one of the mightiest nations of the world, was appropriately celebrated. The troops, composed of the td and 4th Regiments of lowa Cavalry, and Company I of the 12th Regulars, United States Artillery, appeared to be in fine condition, as they marched through the streets of our city, and were being reviewed by their commander, General Winslow. Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon the com mandant of the poSt, Lieutenant Colonel Peters, and upon Captain Saint, post Provost Marshal, for the excellent order preserved throughout our city durimr the parade and formal celebration. of and nring the entire day. At. the courthouse the day was also coin memorated, Mr. d. A. Stewart reading the Declaration of Independence, portions of Washington's Farewell Address, preceding and following them with remarks illustrative of the past, and giving some most excellent advice as to the future--counselling forbear ance among those whom past differences and past trials had estranged. Other gentlemen, we learn, acleezed the meeting, but, its we had , c»gagements which called us away, we can, in reference to their remarks, only speak from report, and will, theretore, say but little. Suftice it, then, to say that the day passed away agreeably with us, us we trust it did with our citizens generally; and, if anything , (lid transpire to mar the eiTorts of the HEAD of our Government, and of all wise and patriotic men who are now engaged in the work of re construction and peace, as has been reported to us, we can attribute it only to a want of Sense on the part of him, who occasioned it, and 'a want of what is now required of every good and patriotic man. Atlanta Intelliyencer, July M. Tnn SOUTASIDE RAILROAD.—As this road is an important link in the connection between Richmond and the Southwest, some informa tion about it, and the progress the Company is making in repairing it, will he interesting to our readers. In the retreat of the Confederate army, the following, bridges were burned : The bridge at Petersburg, three spans; four 'slums of the High Bridge; the bridge at , arm vine, three spans ; the bridge at Buffalo creek, two spans ; the bridge across the James river, seven miles below Lynchburg, six spans ; and the bridge to the island at liVllCl , !burg, foux spans. All these Wer efirst-class bridges, mak. ing an aggregate length of two thousand four hundred feet, and ranging front twenty-five to forty-five feet in height, except the portion of the High Bridge, which is one hundred feet high. Besides this heavyloss of bridges, there were burnt or destroyed seventy-live freight ears, six passenger ears, three locomotives, and ah% the buildings and fixtures at seven way sta tions. Without an assistance, and. with the mili tary authorities working the most profitable part of their railroad (between City Point and Burkville), the Board of Directors commenced the work of repairs as soon as they_ received permission - from the Government. tip to this time the bridge at JAW° has been rebuilt; the bridge at Farmvil le will be completed this week, and the company has nearly timber enough n'ot out to trestle up the four spans of the BA Bridge.

At present the cars run between Farmville and James River, connecting by canal-boat with Lynchburg. In the course of next week cars will be put on the road between Burkville and tue High Bridge, to connect with the cars on the other side of that bridge, reducing the portage to half a mile, and enabling passengers to make thetrip from Richmond to Lynchburg in four teen to fifteen hours.—Richmond Times.

The Pittsburg Post says: "There is still a general disposition to refuse the fifty-cent fractional currency notes, and in market espe cially they are almost wholly repudiated. It is all right enough to refuse doubtful or muti lated bills, but this wholesale repudiation of a currency which enters so largely into all our business transactions, and of which but a very small proportion can possibly be coun terfeit, is neither warranted by law nor neces sity. 'the laws of Congress make these bills a legal tender to a Certain amount, and., unless there is the very best reason for bell ying, them counterfeit, or the - yard mutilated 0 I dis figured so as to impair their value, no. on has a right to refuse them. But the worst feature of the movement is the readiness with which those who object to these bills pay them out in change themselves, whenever the opportunity offers. A friend of ours, who, on a late visit to the - market, bought seine vegetables . from a huckster and 'of fered two fifty-eent notes in payment, only to have them indignantly: rejected as worth nothing, yesterday received no less than five of - these same notes in change from the same party who but a day or two before re fused to touch such currency under any cir cumstances, and this is by no means an isola ted case. It is the rule, rather than the excep tion, that the parties who persist most stead fastly in refusing these arc the first to pay them out when the opportunity otters, thdugli what their motive can he for Sue emblems-is-t -ent course is more than we can understand. We do know, however, that these bills are a part of the currency of the nation, an , l, though there may be some counterfeits among them, they are perhaps as free from objection in this respect as the bills of the numerous banks which have been floating around here for the last fifteen veers. There is, therefore, no good reason for the crusade which has been opened against them, and the public would do well to give all who refuse to take them a wide berth." An antiquarian, in search of euriordties, has identified the chairs used I.)y the sergeant at-arms and doorkeeper of the Senate of Penn sylvania, as having been once in use in the Continental Congress. Thegentleman who made this discovery produced marks on the chairs which were fully satisfactory for iden tification, and in his judgment there is no mistake about the furniture having once been used by the Continental Congress. These relies of the past are the more interesting when it is known that the State of Pennsylvania now possesses the chair used by John Hancock as Speaker of the Continental Congress. highly interesting and very hiiportant case of slander was before a Pittsburg court on illonday. A gentleman had charged a lady with calling him a "bastard,” and she had, ac cordingly, been arrested. The lady averred that the charge was false, as she had only said lie was a "dastard."
