The Dry Goods rrads.

The dry goods trade is very much unsettled
and the market has assumed a very queer
phase within the past two days, resulting in
an almost total suspension of business. The
rapid rise in gold and sterling exchange has
caused nearly all importers to withdraw their
stocks from the market, or to offer them only
at such prices as place them beyond the reach
of fjobbers.
Thus, for the first time in the history of the
trade, the very merchants that are usually
drumming for business, virtually refuse to SELL
There seems to be a unanimous disposition
among the importers to await the final action
of Congress upon the Tariff bill, and some
definite settlement of the value of gole and
exchange, before again transacting any busi-
ness. The domestic commission houses have
again marked up cotton and wolen goods, and
a very considerable portion ofthe stock is held
out of the market, as holders generally look
for still further appreciation in the value OF
goods The jobbers are doing but a slight
business, partly owing to their unwillingness
to sell to any extent at present and their
principal occupation now is the daily marking
UP of their stock to keep pace with the rapid
advance.-Ne10 York Erpress.

Letter from Maj. Gen. N. p. Banks In Aa-
swer 60 a Resolution of Inquiry OF the
House.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE following is
the letter of Maj. Gen. n. p. Banks to Mr..
Gooch, of the House of Representatives, .relat-
ing to the resolution of June 10th, offered by
Mr.. VOORHEES,, of Indiana, directing the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War to inquire
whether persons of color were allowed govern
msnt transportation in Gen. Banks retreat
from Strasburg, while white people, including
sick and wounded soldiers, were compelled to
walk and which letter Mr.. Gooch asked the
unanimous consent of the House to read last
Monday, when the question was taken on the
preamble to this resolution, but objection was
made by Mr.. Voorhees, and others of the oppo-
sitiou:
WINCHESTER, Va, June 10, 1862.
Hon. d. W. Gooch:
/ SIR: In answer to your resolution of inqui-
| ry, have the honor to say that there is no
| foundation of fact for the statement contained
| in the resolution enclosed to me. No person
| not belonging to the army, white or black,
was allowed to use or occupy government
| transportation of any kind on the march of my
command from Strasburg. If any instance has
occurred, it was, with one exception, not only
without authority, but against orders, and has
not yet come to my knowledge. Citizens, ira
ders, refugees &c, were protected in the oceu.
pancy of their own wagons, and allowed tc
move with the government trains in order
nothing further
The rear guard of infantry and artillery
halted in the rear of Martinsburg from two
o'clock till evening. When st considerable
distance on our march we overlook small
/ party on foot.
My attention was attracted by little girl
about eight years of age, who was toddlins
over the stones BY the wayside, and aske(
how far she had travelled. From Wincl es
ter" they said. We were then about twenty
seven miles on our march. / requested tn
cannoniers to give her lift, and the gallan
men who had hung upon the rear of the col
, umn for its defense the greater part of the dis
tance, answered with alacrity. No successful
, efforts were made to ascertain her complexion
but it is not impossible that she belonged to tn
. class referred to in the resolution, and that he
little limbs had been strengthened by som
vague dream Of liberty to be lost or won o
that hurried night march.
! have the honor to be, with much respec
!. your obedient servant, N. P. BANKS,
Maj. Gen. Com

IT Is seriously questionable whether an
officer should be promoted to the command of
Brigade for mere bravery. Other qualities
are necessary to ft an officer to command
three or four thousand soldiers. Too many
brigadiers, whose recommendation is merely
that of personal courage, have already been
appointed.

The Attack-Rebei Expectations.

1t will be observed that the attack was made
on our side by rear and flank movement at
the same time, intended to crush the enemy
successfully along the whole extent of his lines,
from Mechanicsville to his batteries on the
south side of the Cnickaholniny, and on that
side of the river to fall upon him with the
whole weight of our forces, with the expecta-
tion of putting him to general rout.

District Of Columbia-of which the Mode

was appointed to present the resolu-
tons TO the President of the United
States.
During the passage of these resolutions,
an amusing incident occurred. The
question upon their adoption being stated,
the Moderator requested all who were in
favor of their passage to rise upon their
feet Instantly the whole house rose
Having resumed their seats, the negative
side Of the question was requested to rise
and the clerk ordered to count them.
The clerk after looking around for mo-
ment, reported the result of the negative
connt as follows Mr. Moderator, see
nobody on the floor hut myself, and ON
only there by your direction" The clerk
was permitted to take his seat, and the
vote was declared unanimous, while the
liveliest expressions of qualification PLAYED
upon the countenances of the entire con
grcgation.

there was at this time 200, 900 people as
sembled, and the wishes of ono portion of
the crowd to escnpe the blows of the mtfans,
the determined stand made against them
by other portions, the shouts Of the men,
the shrieks Of the women, and the cries Of
, the juveniles, presented u scene of the most
, alarming description. Sticks were being
