Dry Goods,

Business continues exceedingly active,
and with increasing buoyancy of prices.
Western merchants are numerous, and city
and nearby dealers are buying largely
Domestic standard cotton goods have ris-
en-, and have still an upward tendency =
The print market exhibits great activity,
and purchases are being made in heavy
lots, besides quickened activity for small
parcels. Stocks are much reduced. Pri-
ces are still looking up, and some holders
have Withdrawn their goods, waiting for
higher prices. Ginghams are steady
Denims are scarce and in demand. A very
brisk demand has obtained for both brown
and bleached shfrtings and sheetings and
prices have risen. Printed delaines are
greatly wanted, and the demand cannot be
supplied. The Manchester delaines are
being eagerly competed for, and Messrs. j.
G. Howe & Co. have already orders
for all the fall goods their mills can pro-
duce. Prices have advanced since our
las report, and still tend upward.
Army kerseys are Iquiet. Satinets are
rather more active. Flsnnels are quick of
sale, and orders are large for future deliv.

but at present the stock is small. The
greatest activity is, however, shown in the
market for fancy cassimeres. All desirable
ROou5 OF Iulb Glass AE6 TAKEN up on arrival,
and the productions of the Manchester
mills are eagerly sought for. Light colors
are found attractive. The better qualities
and styles command high prices, and yet
are buoyant In price. In foreign fabrics
the market is equally excited. The choice
productions Of the French looms are ia
good request. French silks, French de-
LANES, French ribbons, French merinoes,
are all active with an under aunnlv and
at rising prices. The reaction in the price
of gold has partly occasioned the new ad.
vance in prices, but the excess of demand
over supply is the chief cause of the adj
vance. British goods are taken with avid
ity on arrival, Plain colors are most
sought for. Coburgs are scarce OF desira-
bic colors, and goods on the way across
the waters are being sold by pattern to ar
rive. The whole country seems alive with
a pressing demand for goods, which cannot
be fully met at present. Auction business
Is active, and the active competition ex-
hibited is resulting in 9 constantly advance

WHEEL1sG, W. " Sept. IL, 1868.
A. meeting of the members Of the Lee
islature from the I'D Congressional district,
held in the Capitol tonight Senator
FarnswOrth, of Upshnr, was appointed
Chairman, aud J j. 8 Barns, OF Marion, Se-
cretary.
On motion of Senator CarskadOn. the
following address was unanimously adopt
ed
To the Citizens Of he. Second Congressional
Distriet !:
Realizing the grave Importance of se-
Iecting for our representative in the next
Congress of the United States, man I'M
conditional in his devotion to the preser-
walton of the Federal Union, we recon-
mend that there be held Q Convention at
Grafton on the first day of the approach.
ing October, to nominate such man as
our candidate. The reasons for such a
course may briefly be stated: There are
already three candidates for this position,
and probably will be others. II three or
four candidates persist in running through
under the Union banner, the loyal vote will
be SO divided that there will be no difficulty
in electing an opposing candidate if that
class of voters see fit to bring out one and
vote for him. That they will do 50 in such
case we need not permit ourselves to
doubt. We cannot conceive any greater
calamity than the election of rebel and
traitor as our first representative in Con-
gress and it is to guard against this newt
able result of contrary cause that we ear
nestly ask our fellow citizens to meet in
Convention at the time, place, aud for the
purpose named. We are in the midst of
implacable foes who only seek to divide
aud destroy us. When such consequence
are in the scale individual aspirations and
local and personal preferences should give
way for the general good. Let us present
united front to what We may be sure is
united foe and we shall be spared the
everlasting shame and injury thar would
be visited upon us and the State, and it
might be to the whole nation, if we should
send disloyal representative from our
Second District.
On motion,
Resolved, That the loyal papers of the
State be requested to publish the address
and proceedings of this meeting.

Some of the friends of Mr.. Blair, in the
lower end of the district, seem inclined to
factiousiy antagonize themselves towards
a Convention, and the Parkersburg Ga
zetts takes them to task for it in its last
issue
We understood Mr.. Van Wrinkle, howev-
err, to say for Mr.. Blair, 10 the Hall of the
House the other night, that he (Mr. Blair)
would both go into Convention and
abide by its decision. If this is so
there is no necessity for the frtends afore-
said pulling at the other end of the rope.

we are girding the tree-strangliug the

JEFF. Davis dominions are now pretty
much included in Eastern Virginia-the
