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

its well informed Citizens claim for it 80,000

Irish,an equal ninnber of Germans,and about
4,060 Frerichs`
Thicreninerce of the lakes, and the rail
road system of the country, has caused the
growth of. this large, beautiful and fienrish
ing city. 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.
THE wife of Choate said, in answer to some
commonplace congratulations about his fame,
he was so true and perfect a. husband and
fa er that no thought of his being-a great
instnereutered the household.

THE FRIENDS OF DOUGLAS MOVING.
The friends of Judge Douglas in this city
held a meeting last night, preparatory to the
formation of a permanent organization, for the
purpose of promoting, by allrhonorable means
in their power, the nomination for the Presi
dency in 1800 of the Little Giant of Initials.
The soUndest Democratic feeling prevailed, and .
the mot. enthusiastic a:ipt•oval of the political
course of Mr. Douglas was expressed.
On motion, Joseph B. hunter, Esq., was
called to the Chair, and Samuel Harper, Esq.,
appointed Secretary.
On motion, Charles Barnett, James Irvin,
H. Hays Smith, Thomas B. Hamilton and
John J Mitchell were appointed 'a committee
to select permanent officers for an adjourned
meeting.
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."

from Butialo; whon ut home, hut being educa

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

thizing girls .around her—" to think how un
fortunate—and his meerdchaton just bryining

;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

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:

This was upon the theory that poison la ari
