THE CITY OF DETROIT. • There is no portion of our country.which presentamore - combined attractions to the summer tourist than the regitin, which bor dertsupon the'great North American iakes. Arsntud these immense inland seas the trav eler May findan air as pare, 'cool and invig orating as that of Switzerland, scenery as varied and beautiful, if not as classical, as that Of the Rhine-and : Of Italy, means of lct emotion tvhichnommingle the comforts of home with' the excitement of rrayel,' and iu whatever city, town, nook, bay ceiisland he may chooseto pitch his temporary tent, he will find a whole souled, generous, hospi table people,---disposed to make him happy, without regard to the dollars and Cents which may be,in his purse. On the water you travel in floating palaces, and along shoie'you are whirled - away throngh ever varying, scenery by railroads, which net around and between the .commercial cities of the Lakes, like monster cobwebs around giant flies. Except in size and population, the larger commercial cities of the lake country pre sent a sameness of appearance to the travel er. They are all alike in many respects. This is a natural incident to the fact that they are the trade marts all, of a great agri cultural region of country. They all depend rather upon commerce than manufactures for their prosperity. They grow and increase more rapidly than most of our river towns, and in them all, the residences and public and private buildings are larger and more ornamental. In laying them out and ex tending them the original proprietors of the soil have provided that their posterity should have plenty of room to live and breathe and move about. The free, glorious breezes of the lake, sweep through broad streets and rustle among the trees and shrtibbery of the lawns and gardens, which are the inevitable attachment to the numerous fine residences, which extend along the lake for miles around the city centres. The city of Detroit is a fair specimen of the cities which have originated in the necessi ties of a great commerce, and spring up along the shores of our great inland seas. It is the chief city of Michigan, and one of the oldest settlements in the State, situated on the north west side of the Detroit River or strait. It extends along the river for up wards of four miles,almost the entire distance presenting a city-like appearance, as you ap proach it from Lake Erie, which is eighteen __ miles below, or from Lake St. Clair, which is seven miles above, Detroit River, which con neots them, being twenty-five miles in length. The river at Detroit is about half a mile in - width, and in depth varies from twelve to fifty feet. The descent from Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie is about six feet, giving a cur rent of a little over two miles an hour. It only rises and falls with the surfaces of the ,great lakes which it connects, its average annual variation being only about two feet. The depth of the river and its strong uni form current, keep its channel clear of all obstructions to navigation. It is never af fected like our western rivers by fl&xls, droughts, sand bars, and the like. From the river to the central part of the city, the • ,ground rises gradually to the height of thirty feet in as many rods from the bank, and then, after a slight fall, again rises to the height of forty or fifty feet, thus affording to the city an admirable drainage. The coun try back of the city for twenty miles is very level, rising only about five feet.in the mile. -As early as 1610 the French visited the point where Detroit now stands, but no per manent settlement was made until 1710, when a party of Frenchmen, under Austin de la Motte Cardillac settled there. In 1760 it fell into the hands of the British, and by the treaty of peace of 1783, became the property of the United States. In 1805 nearly the whole town was destroyed by a - fire. The streets along the river are regularly laid out, parallel with the river, with cross streets at right angles to them. They vary from fifty to two hundred feet in width. Most of them are about seventy feet, but many, of the principal avenues are one hun dred; one hundred and twenty, and some few two hundred feet in width. The lots are large, almost every house having trees ,\ and a garden plot around it. In the heart _ __af_the city is a semi-circular area of several \ :acres iii extent, called the "Campruarartius/ The " Russel House," the City Hall and \ other-public.buildings front upon it, and the \ , ,piarkets are held Upon a street which runs m it,- The vegetable market in Detroit 6 arkable for its excellence.

While it was a territory, the United States government made five great leading post roads in Michigan, all diverg ing front, Detroit. The Michigan C'ontral Railroad ian only thirty miles, from Detroit 'to Ypsilanti, in 1837, but it was extended from .year tO year, until, in 1851, it was completed two hundred and eighty-two miles, to ChiCaga. The railroad from De troit to, Toledo, connecting at Munroe with the Michigan Southern road, was completed in 1857. The Detroit and Milwaukie roadisfrom Detroit to Lake Michigan, was completed last year. Another road, is near ly completed to the foot of Lake Huron, the termination of the Grand Trunk Railway in Canada. By a ferry across the river, there is a connection with the Great West ern Canada Railroad. These land routes, comUined with those of the lake, which, in their season, no railroad can ever supercede, render Detroit the great concentrating point of the produce, commerce, banking and heavy business of the whole State, and from other States, the business and travel is great. To accommodate this great commercial business, the river is lined with warehouses, among which the great freight depot pf the Central Railroad, eight hundred feet long and one hunred feet wide, is conspicuous. The retail trade of the city is very large, but the local wholesale jobbing appears to be affected by the facilities with which the mer chants from the interior can reach the great eastern marts of trade. The largest branch of manufacturing in dustry, appears to be the sawing of lumber. On the river, within thecity limits, there are nine large steam saw mills, which turn out about forty millions of feet of pine lumber annually. The logs are floated from Lake Huron, and the streams which fall into St. Clair river -Ship and boat building has been an im portant branch of business. The Michigan Central road has extensive workshops.- - There is a locomotive factory connected with a foundry and machine shop and sev eral other machine establishments. Two miles below the city are the works for smelting native copper and copper or, from the shores of Lake Superior. 'len miles below. there is an iron furnace and roll ing mill, which have been in operation sev eral years. The ore used is from the upper Peninsula, and a very rich quality. The place isnot, however, ever destined to exc.-1 in manufactures, owing to the fact that coal must be brought for the purpose. It '- easier and cheaper to take the material to be manufactured at the coal regions of Pennsylvania than. to take the -fuel there with which to manufacture them, Detroit must be content with its commercial facili ties, which are great. The coal of Pennsyl vania must forever give her a manufactur ing pre-eminence over any and all of these lake regions. As an evidence of the small extent of manufacturing in Detroit, we may mention that in 1857 there were sixty nine stationary steam engines in the town, large and small ! These could do no Isrgo amount of manufacturing work. On the other hand, the estimated value of the lead ing articles of export in the same year, was $10,996,399, and the total foreign imports $1,139,791. These figures show a most healthy trade. In 185 S, the imports by railway of flour and grain were as. follows : flour, 592,287 barrels; wheat, 539,704 bush els; corn 231,040 bushels ; oats, 150.456 bushels. The prosperity of Detroit in a commercial point appears, to be a permanent one. There are no evidences of inflation as in seine of the lake towns farther west. The people appear to be moral, industrious, and happy. Among minor noticeable things, which strike estranger, are the miserable specimens of horseflesh in use in the city. With such excellent level roads for drives, one would 'expect to see fine stock. But good animals are not to be seen. A Pittsburgh drayruan would laugh at the half Canadian horstia poor at that, in use in the city. Another noticeable fact is that the three daily newspapers of Detroit, the Free-Press, Advertiser and Tribune, are all first class jour nals, and givea greater amount and variety of reading matter than most of the daily papers of the country. Some how or other they contrive to make a good profit out of their circulation, as well as their advertising. The daily papers are invariably sold by the newsmen at half a dime a peice, and a fair share of this enables the publisher to give more reading matter than can be done where the standard price of a newspaper is but two cents. "- . But we have already extended our sketch of this beautiful city more than we had in tended. It is a most agreeable .place to visit on a:summer trip, and we commend it to our fellow Pittsburghers, who may be go ing " up the lakes " for a few days-sojourn. OHIO DEMOCRACY. The Ohio Democrats, are in tine spirits? and .have good hopes that the State will go Demo cratic net year. The liberal platform laid down by the last State Convention meets with..universal favor. The Republicans in Ohio made: a.'grand mistake when they refused to re-nominate' Judge Swan for the Supreme Bench oh account of his adverse opinion in the Oberlin Rescue case. They see and feel their error, now that it is too late to mend it, and know that thereby, their party, strength has been greatly weakened. The 'Dernocrats, on ,the contrary, are in the best of spirits and full of hope.

On motion, the meeting adjourned to re assemble., at the hall of the Vigilant Engine house, on Tuesday evening, August 30th. Protection to Naturalized Citizens abroad.... The Hanover Case. The news by the steamer A s i a , if we may rely upon the Liverpool Tiners, is to the effect that the government of Hanover will comply with the demand or the government of the United States, and rolase from its army a na turalized citizen of this country who has been impressed into its arm•;. .The prompt and en ergetic, manner in which the administration of President Buchanan has tweed in this instance is most creditable to it, and i- a full refutation ' of the falsehood, that it was dir•-iret ire its duty upon this question. it has laid down the principal that no naturalized citizen of the United States can be. forced to do service in the army of his native land, unless he has been are actual deserter from its ranks. It will insist upon the full equality of the rights of naturalized with native citizens, eVell to the cannon's mouth, if need I. The Liverpool TiMea thus bears testimony to the vigor and efficiency of the Tufted State., government. It says : It: seems that a tititivri of Hanover, who stands in thi, pedtiim t . naturalized in the United ,States,) recoittly returned to the country of his birth. was drafted into the militia and compelled do military servlee. "He refmsed, pleaded the laws of his adopted country ,and applied for protection to the Amer- icon Consul. The A ini,riean Government has taken up the matter warmly, and hus peremp torily demanded his r,lonF.e. It has done more than this. It has cued similar requisitions to be made upon the other German Government , who are made to understand that American citizens can not be called upon to submit to the dictates of arbitrary rule. The German powers however distasteful it may he to them, will give way, and they will respect the rights of these Germariie-Amerieuna, who return from the Far West with a bandsomo amount of dollars, with which to r.ass theevening of their days in their native country. •• It is a remarkable flint, that there is no great power in the world with so small an army and navy ii, the United State,, and yet which mattes more halt and rt,i,,t•t,d abroad." if the Government of Hanover does not relen,n2 this Atnerieoli citi,:nn, it will be apt to receive a visit from an Aun force."

Touching Affliction The )3uffalo &putlos relute:i the following in stanee of sensibllit.i, (41 the part of a boarding school miss : A, young lady living not over a dozen leagues from Butialo; whon ut home, hut being educa ted a fashionable seminary east of us, last week received a letter from her mother with the usual marks of mourning upon it—black edged and sealed with black. She was almost overcome, and fainted twice before she could summon courage to attempt to dispel the fear fulsuspense that was brooding over her. Filially she 'opened the letter, and therein written was the infoamation—a young man of about eight teen—bad died suddenly from an attack of cholera morbus ; she sank down in a fiood of tears, while her fair .companions grouped around, sadly endeavoring to console her, but in vain, "Poor fellow," said she, with a suc cession of sobs, " my brother—my dear and blessed brother. Oh," said she, for the first time- raising her. head siiice the sad news ar rived—addressing tho weeping and sympa thizing girls .around her—" to think how un fortunate—and his meerdchaton just bryining to dolor so beautifully I" There was no conso lation for such poignant woe seithis, and the ;girls left her alone to her sobs and the tender recollection of her dear and only brother, and his!scarcely tinted tobacco meerschaum. A SON of Cassius M. Clay, while gunning recently, was bitten on tho foot by some poison ous reptile, supposed to be a rattlesnalie, and hid body immediately exhibited all the symp toms of the most . virulent poisoning; but he was dosed until stupefied with apple brandy, and the nest morning was as well as ever. So confident was Mr-Clay of the efficacy of alchol ic spirits in all cases of poison by the bites of snakes and insects, that ho did not .oven send for a physician: Saleratus was bound upon the bitten spot, until ammonia could be pro: eure}i,. when the former was moistened This was upon the theory that poison la ari and only alkali will answer, though an is thought to be the best.
