JOHNSTON'S DETROIT CITY DIRECTORY,
convoy of their wares to the markets of every country in the world, with most of whom she had first played out the policy of a successful billigerant initiation. But it has been called a liberal democratic poli- cy to flood the United States, with articles manufactured abroad, and also to obliging- ly send abroad our raw material, to be manufactured for us at a great expense of transport either way, at a distance of 8 or 4000 miles, just to patronize a people to whom we owe money for building Rail- ways and other avenues of transport, to facilitate the sale amongst us of their own manufactures. Bah! we shall soon be as poor and ragged as the down-trodden agri- cultural Irish !
The following articles are sent down to feed our busy artisans at the East, who are more profitably engaged in manufac- turing. We notice, however, that they do not eat grindstones, they want them however, and we want what we foolishly send down the lakes, and at the East, they are foolish enough to let it off to England and France, the ONE MILLION, ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS WORTH OF WOOL of Michigan, which is freighted back again to. us, at an enormous ex- change above the sum of money the manufacturer paid the producer in Michi- gan, for the raw material ; just because our capitalists will not invest in erecting home factories, and the farmer cares not who he sells to, and the empty condition of our banking and exchange systems at the West, is in feter to get from buyers and shippers to Europe, the handling and use of a few hundred thousand handsome- ly engraved promises to pay the bearer on demand. We did not intend to open out the evils of this condition of national Democratic generosity towards transatlan- tic cousins. But the monied condition of the nation seems on the verge of ruin, arising from the neglect of home manu- factures. It were folly to conceal this sui- cidal neglect of the interests of the thirty- five or forty millions of people who, eith- er by nativity or choice are Americans. Capital at the west, should be both crea- . ted and consolidated, with a view to en- courage home labor, which never absorbs or wastes money, never removes it from the channels of available circulation and utility.

OFFICERS FOR 1860.
Presidents, Capt. E. B. Ward, H. K. Sanger, F. B. Phelps.
Executive Committee, R. N. Rice, H. N. Walker.
We understand these urgently needed local improvements are to be efficiently car- ried forward to completion on some of the lines during the year 1861. When all shall be accomplished the rush to Detroit to settle will greatly enhance the present price of Real Estate.
What is capital lying idle for ? Why not forthwith build factories ? We have been informed that a company is about be- ing organized of the wealthy Real Estate owners, with a view to the erection soon of Cloth, Silk and Cotton Manufactories at Detroit, the results of which will be, with a solid Banking system, that we shall have an abundant currency and our people em- ployed and satisfactorily paid in hard cash.
The public are beginning to be strongly excited in the hope of at last realizing long looked-for advantages from manu- factories erected by the wealth the masses have created by their very settlement in Detroit for this class of property owners. "Property involves duties as well as rights."

CATHOLIC SOCIETIES. Congregation of Redemptorists and Chris- tian Brothers.
These Brothers (there are different or- · ders,) are engaged in the benevolent enter- prise of instructing the children who are not accommodated in the city Public or Government Schools, and probably fifteen hundred children of both sexes are instruc- ted by them and the Sisters of Charity at their respective schools in the several dis- tricts of the city. The compiler acknowl- edges the courtesey of the Brothers located at the corner of Croghan and Antoine sts, who at his request, urbanely conducted him through the halls, dormitories, kitch- en and arbors, school rooms, &c.
The names of the order residing at the corner of Antoine and Groghan are :
Lay Brothers, Jacob Le Jeune, William Brockmeyer, John Hermann.
Of the order located at the corner of An- toine and Larned sts, the name of Brother Joachim was supplied only.

emy for young ladies on Jefferson avenue; they teach a large school on Antoine near Fort st; they also teach a school in the Eighth Ward, as do also the Christian Brothers; and they have during the last year founded an Hospital near Michigan avenue and Porter Road, where insane patients are confided to their care.
St. Mary's Hospital.
This Hospital, which is a private Insti- tution, and one which, in the absence of a public Hospital commensurate with the demands of so large a city as Detroit, has rendered good service to many a wretched sufferer, is efficiently attended by the city physicians, and receives an appropriation from thecity Government. The Sisters of Charity are the patrons, nurses and propri- etors of the Institution.
The Hospital is located on Clinton street near Antoine. It is capable of accommo- dating about 200 patients.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Firemen's Hall, corner Jefferson avenue and Randolph street.
There are 12 efficiently organized com- panies, together with 2 Hook and Ladder Companies.
The department forms a brigade of great power, as well as local influence, and it must necessarily continue to increase in numbers as the population increases. The force now numbers about 650 men. It is governed in its internal relations by a salu- tary disipline of its members. But the demands upon the valuable time of the in- dividuals who have generously devoted themselves to the protection of public and private property, is a matter of no small consideration, and a laudable desire seems to prevail to aid the Department by the introduction of steam engine power.
One fine Steam engine " Lafayette," has just been put on the strength of the brigade, and serves in a similar relation as artillery to musketry.
The value of Real Estate and movable property vested in the Department at the present date is roundly estimated at $100,- 000.
