 Detroit and the Michigan I'erritory.-A writer from Detroit gives a very favorable &C., count of that place and the adjoining region. The climate in summer is prevented from be- ing oppressive by the pure and bracinG air from the lakes, and during that season and the autumn, the latter of which brings dis ease in SD many districts of our country, the weather is unexcelled any where. The win ters are little colder but less variable than at Philadelphia; the spring somewhat more damp and chilly, but vegetation scarcely more backward. Detroit is situate on the banks of the river of that name, which. however. like the river Niagara, is only the channel of com municaton between the great inland seas call ed lakes. It is placid and beautiful stream, nearly mile wide. The population of the town is about three thousand, chiefly Ameri- cans, but some of them of French origin, and speaking that language. The Americans are from most states in the Union, but the larger part from New-York and New-Engand, and (of course) enterprizing and industrious. Me chanics not being numerous. their charges are high, and it is impossible to obtain in the place cabinet-work and utensils, of house. keeping. Buffalo and New-York supply them. more respectable population. adds the writer, more upright and intelligent, have never seen collected in town of the same numbers. There are DO paupers. Frankness and hospitality characterize the manners.

 Difference and Agreement: or Sunday Morn ing.-It was Sunday morning. All the bells were ringing for church, and the streets were filled with people moving in all directions.
 Here, numbers fwel-dressed persons, ,and long train of charity children, were thrOng- ing in at the wide doors of a large handsome church. There, small number, almost C. qually gay in dress, were entering an elegant meeting house. Up an alley,a Roman Cath olic congregation was turning int" their res'r- ed chapel, every one crossing himself with a finger dipt in holy water as he went in. The opposite side of :he street was covered with a train of Quakers, distinguished by their plain and neat attire. and sedate aspect, who walk ed without ceremony into the room as plain as themselves. and took their seats, the men on one side and the women on the other. in silence. A spacious building was filled with 1 an overHowing crowd of MethOdists, most of them plainly habited. but decent and serious in denssanor; while small society of Bap. lists in the ncighhorhnod quietly occupied their hasnble place of assembly. .
 Presently the different services began. The churches resOunded with the solemn organ, and with the distinct murmUrs of large body of people following the minister in responsive prayers. From the meetings were heard the SyOW pSAbMS uUV kUO StUAtG NUsCG Ot Ulc touU. CT of their devotions. The Roman Catholic chapel was enlivened by strains of music, tine tinkliDg of small bell, and perpetual change of service and ceremonial. A pro- found silence and unvaryiOg look and posture announced the self.collectiOn and mental de- v0tion of the Quakers. r &-s
 Mr. Ambrose led his son Edwin round all these different assemblies as g spectator. Ed win viewed every thing with great attention, and wss Often impatient to inquire of his fa- ther the meaning of what he saw but Mr. Ambrose would not suffef him to distyfb any of the congregations eten by a whisper.- When they had gone through the whole, Ed win found great number of questions to put tA his father, who expressed every thing to him in the best manner he could. At length says Edwin. -.-t~. = But why cannot these people agree to go to the a me place. and worship God in the same way? r-. tr
 And why should they agreel replied his fathsr. Do you not see that people differ in hundred other things? Do they all dress a. ike. and eat and drink alike, and keep the same hours. and use the same diversions? Ay-but those are things in which they have right to do as they please.
 And they have right. too, to worship God as they please. lt is their own business, and concerns none hut themselves.
 But has God ordered particular ways of worshipping him

 4 Mormon Coasmision. Some three months since, it was boldly asserted, under the inilgl. ence of th Gold Biblen imposition, thal three young men, while in the spirit. had 10. ceived commissions direct lf0m Heaven, ou parchment, which they caught in their hands in the air. and had only time to copy them before the parchment disappeared. We bs. lieve the fact is admitted, that Cowdery while here. exhibited to chosen few com. mission sealed. and signed. < tzm tae Christ. :, But the one which we give halow appears to have only the seal. It was found tn the pock. ct of young Doty. who rsesntly died among them. and would appear to be copy of one of the threo mentioned above, by ifs tenor and purport. At fret view. we supposed that this commission was given to Doty himself, which led us to the statement in our last, that he was duly commissioned to preach, which is said not to be the fact. We take il verbatim:

 The following is the reply of the congTes- sSusot official, the Telegraph:-
 The Globe asserts that '' ie is time tor nun of inc TeIeRraph to bring forward his prOOts.' v
 It win be remembered that we asserted that tho. member Of Congress, whom we ad- init to have been Col. Johnson, of Kentucky, infsrmeA Messrs. Ingham, Branch and BeFrI- eu, that he acted on the authority Otthe Pres ident. And there are other circumstances which 20 to prove that he did so act. Those gentlemen 60 understood him. It is also true, that. upon hearing their reply, the President declined pressing the matter further at that time and, when the whole truth comes be- fore the people, there will be very few who can entertain doubt that Col. Johnson did net as we have stated, and upon the advice and direction of General Jackson. The Globe undertakes to deny this for Col. Johnson, and calls upon us for the proof. It will be in time for us to bring forward our proof when Col Johnson himself shall have made or authOris- ed a denial. Has he authorised the pubIica- ton of the Globe?
