THE POPULATION AND MANUFACTURERS OF DETROIT.
A census has recently been taken of Detroit,
which reveals most gratifying state of things
The growth of the city, during the past thirty
years, is a marvel. In 1880 the population was g.
222. In l840 only 9,l02 In 1850 reached 81 ,O57
The numbers have increased at the rate of about
10000 year, until the census of 1858 shows pop
ulation of S2,450. The statistics given with the
census speak well for the manufacturing and other
important interests of the city, and show that the
prosperity is substantial, and founded on the en-
ployment of the masses.
The mechanics shops number 578, iron machine
shops H. iron foundries 20, boiler manufactures g.
locomotive works 1. brass foundries Z -four mills s.
steam planning and door, sash, &C., factories IA &c
10 iron manufactures especially great share of
the recent prosperity of the city is due. At time
when most other lake cities seemed to have reached
their maximum of growth, Detroit is still rapidly
pushing ahead, at rate which bids fair to distance
all competitors The business men and capitalists
of that city, although largely interested in lake
commerce, have not lost sight of the permanent ad
vantages which arise from the development of man
ufactories, and have judiciously combined both
br anches of industry thus placing their prosperity
upon double bass.-Detroh Advertiser.
A DTscovERY.-Iti is generally thought that steel
is carbonized iron, but Miss Hardinge, who is re-
garded by "the millions of spiritualists' of
the most learned and eloquent of their lecturers,
thus spoke in the Boston Melodeon, Sunday, as
appears from report in the Banner of Light.
"ln- the first rude efforts of nature-the iron
strata-we see the first prophecy of what man must
be-the first state of life, where are men with
hearts, thews, snews and will of iron. They are
the most useful, but are not ornamental-strong,
but not susceptible of polish The world has had
its need of iron men. 1t is the strata from which
man shall rise higher. But orydize hot iron, and
haze the tempered steel, polished and smooth And
in nature God had orydized your iron into such
as Napoleon and Carlyle. How that steel cuts all
who opposed There are stratas of steel in human life
well as iron; and when the chemist orydzes iron
into steel, he utters another prophecy of what
is to be-"

CHAMPAGNE.-A writer in Cozzens Vine Press for
January says: During brief visit to Champagne,
III the vintage season of last year, we had the good
fortune to spend a day at the Chateau of friend
on the very threshold of this famous wine country
Just in front of us noble hill covered with
vines from the base to the summit perhaps as high
as the palisades on the Hudson, but with gentle
slope well suited to the growth of the vine and in
length about five miles. Just before our visit the
grapes from this hill had been gathered and press
ed, and upon inquiry, we learned that the yield of
wine from this magnificent fountain of pure juice,
had been that season "a most prolific one, it is
true,) no less than 5000 hogsheads which at 60
gallons to the hogshead, would have yielded about
100000 gallons, or 100000 bottles. This alone
was more than double the quantity of all the Cham
pagne wine consumed in the United States; and
think of it. reader, we had to ride through sixty
miles of this country before we reached the great
city of Rheims. Beyond that again were the famous
vineyards of Sillery and Nerzenay, and we stood
upon the hillside on the ed ge of the forest of
Ardennes, and looked down upon the magnificent
amphtheatre of which the famous Cathedral city is
the center, thoughth how wildly, idly and foolish
ly, some wise-acres express themselves, when they
presume to talk upon subject of which they are so
profoundly ignorant.

"ExILED PATRIoT' MANUFACToRY-The Mayor,
yesterday arrested one of the gang of Italian i'm
posters, who make business of begging through
out the country as 'tExiled Patriots" :"
The person arrested yesterday called himself
Antony Senego. 1t appeare from the testimony
of Victor Serbia that he obtained the copies of the
begging certificates at Senego's house, from which
he printed sundry patches, some in English and
some in German. He received his pay sometimes
from Senego and sometimes from the other person
not yet arrested.
This testimony was confirmed by that of other
witnesses
One of the certificates printed at the True Press
office, was shown. 1t set forth that Mr. Joseph
Clrelare was an inhabiant of the CITY of Placenza
where he was merchant much respected but that
owing to his liberal opinions his property was con-
1scated and he banished; and being the only sup
port OF his mother and three brothers. the charity
of the benevolent is invoked.
Another certificate was also presented from
which new ones were set up in this city. 1t set
forth that Charles Columbo was a merchant OF
Porto Toro, Sardinia, who, for his liberal opinions
suffered like the foregoing and he has to support
wlie, hVe children, mother and two sisters his
@ @aains upon charity are considered very loud This

Ellmaker, who purports to be notary public in Phil
adelphia, and his notaryship is attested by Geo Nj
Howells, Clerk of the Philadelphia Court Of Quarter
Sessions. These signatures are evidently fabrca-
tions. The originals were dated in 1857: but Mr.
Serbia testified that he changed the date. to 1853
at the request of the man who gave him the Job,
and work off the certificates, purporting to have
been dated last year. The whole thing is one of
the boldest impositions every practiced.

ARMY INTELLIGENCE


The War Department has ordered board of
officers to convene in the city of Washington on the
18th instant to report in detail their opinion upon
the several subjects of inquiry, viz:
1. How and to what extent can the TRANSFORMATION
of the army be reduced, and the present cost of
transportation be brough down.
z. 10 what extent can the animals required in
the service of the Quartermaster's Department be
reduced in numbers consistently with the wants of
the army, and how those required be support
ed more economically.
g. What is the best mode of purchasing horses
for the mounted service.
4. How can the expenses of the army in every
branch, at posts and in the field, be reduced
5. What is the best and most economical plan for
quarters and barracks, either permanent or tempo
rary, at new posts.
6. What plan should be adopted for the disposal
of posts no longer needed for military purposes
The officers comprising the board Lieut..
Colonel Ripley, ordnance department.; Major Gar
net, Ninth infantry; Major Eaton, subsistence de-
partment; Brevef Lieut.. Col Chapman, Fifth
infantry; Captain Marcy, Fifth infantry; Captain
Easton Quartermasters department; Major Nichols,
Adjutant Generals department; Captain Bee Tenth

The paragraph which appeared some days since,
stating that detachment of five hundred recruits
were to leave Governors Island on the lst prox,
to be assigned to the Fourth artillery, after which
that regiment was TO proceed and relieve the Fifth
infantry, now serving in Utah, seems to be a mis-
take, as no suca movement, we credibly in
formed, is contemplated.
The Bank of England has just agreed to lend a
sum equal to $15,000000 to the Metropolitan Board

innate is that the entire loan viii be repaid in
about thirty years.

The frequent loss of life by fires has led to the
suggestion, in the public prints of number of
contrivances by which persons in peril may usually
be saved. writer in the New York Times, refer
ring to the subject proposes the following, which
worthy of the attention of iremen particularly
Let every fire engine be required to carry with it
always a coil of rope of sufficient strength and
length, either knotted, pellets of hemp inserted
therein, at given distances, forming projections
which would afford firm grasp when descending
by such means from any height especially by ex-
perienced hands. Also, let box or draw be at
tached to each fire-engine, in which shall always
be kept given number of coils or reels of strong
hine, with leaden ball of from four to eight
ounces attached to one end, (similar to a carpen-
ter's plumb-line,) which could instantaneously be
thrown into window, or over or upon the roof of
any house, by which the knotted rope could be
drawn wherever required. These fsh-lines and
balls should also be carried in the pockets of the
tremen, especially when entering burning build
ngs, which could be dropped from, thrown to,
any position, and ropes drawn to the aid of the
needy. By these simple precautions many valuable
lives might be saved, especially among that merto-
rious class of citizens, the firemen themselves For
further safety, by simple arrangement, wire
rope chain, with hooks &C., to fasten on window
sills, bed-posts &C., might be instantaneously ad-
usted to the knotted rope. These contrivances are
inexpensive, and no doubt in most cases prove eff
fectual. No harm, at any rate, could result from
their being tried in case requiring something
more than the ordinary provisions for relief.
