COL. EDWARD EVERETT CROSS.


Col. E. E. Cross, of the Fifth New Hamp-
shire regiment, was killed at Gettysburg on
Thursday, while fighting gallanly at tho head
Of his regiment. E1.. ....' ....
The Colonel was born in Lancaster, New
Hampshire, and commenced life as journey
man printer. He was for some time connected
with the press In Cincinnati, and In 1854 he
stumped the State Of Ohio for the American
party. He was afterwards employed as agent
Of the 81. Louis and Arizona Silver Mining
Company, In which he subsequently, became q
large stockholdcr. He made several trips
across the plains, taking the first steam engine
that ever crossed the Rocky Mountains. ''
When the rebellion broke out he organized
the Fifth New Hampshire regiment and was
commissioned as Its colonel. Under his com
mand the regiment won an envlable reputation
for invincible bravery. Colonel Cross had
been wounded several times, and when wo lasl
saw him he remarked that he believed the next
hit would be fatal one.
On the eve of Burnslde's battle at Fredcricks
burg he was so deeply impressed with the Idel
that he would be killed In that battle, that h,
made his will and assembled his officers ant
| instructed them how TO act when he shoult
fall. He had been In command Of a brigads
several months, aud was strongly recommended
for brigadier general. No more earnest oil
courageous soldier has died In tho cause Of hii
country than Colonel Edward Everett Cross.

Dry GOosls.


More activity has been displayed In the mar
ket for domestic goods. Cotton fabrics are
more sought for In view of further advance
In the price Of the raw material. The new clip
Of wool is attracting SO much competition as
to lead to the supposition that the price must
advance, and consequently also that of goods
Both woolen and cottons have, therefore, an
upward tendency. The revival of business IL
speculative. The largest jobbers are the prin-
cipal buyers. Both brown and bleached sheet
ings and shirtings have advanced considerably
from 2 to cents-within the week. Prints
are more active, dark colors as well as light,
and prices are higher. Cottonades and cotton
fannels are all held at an advance, holders not
pressing sales. Fancy cassimeres are also
more active. Holders are selling readily their
old medium wcights, while new fall styles are
yet scarce in market Delaines of rall style are
selling freely.
satinets are In partial request. Low grades
Of black are much wanted, while the finer grades
arc not active. Mixtures sell well. Black bea-
vers and doeskins are very active. Flannels
are very active, ut advancing rates. Foreign
fabrics arc not so active. Low qualities of
black silks are scarce, and are In demand to
arrive. Other silks are quite inactive. Ribbons
are also quiet. What little is selling, Is through
the auction-room. There Is good demand for
all descriptions of heavy woolens, and heavy
linens move freely. The impsrtations are light.
The prospects Of the fall importations are more
favorable than otherwise, but will be much In
fuenced by the comparative ease or difficulty
Of remitting at low or high rates of exchange.
Exchange has opened higher again this week
occasioned by the advance in the price Of gold,
which, however, is not thought to be perma.

reached this city on Friday from Richmond
Their stories with regard 10 the forces In the

opportunities for Judging correctly were neces.
ssrily very limited, but little that is reliable
can be drawn from their accounts. Their visit
to Richmond seems not to have been made
