wHAE BEcoxEs OF TIE DRY GooDs i--An immense
quantity of dry goods has bcon sold at auction during
the past six his sni the conclusion Is irresistible
that the stocks in retailers stores cellars and gares
were larger than they arc at this tme or other
wise h the people we're extrayagant before
in their pnreh lses ADD wear OF dry goods. Can it be
possible that all tbecosy silks sa.ins meno fauslins,
cloths etc, etc bought At the auction sales
are snapped. up" by eonsnmers rapidly as one
might suppose from the unceasng dsnaudrom retailers
for those goods That demand Is Unsuitable and il
would Seem that Tn attempt FL rat hole with water
would prove unavlling effort to oVers;ook the
Richmond market with dry goods
: People doubtless very exrSVagant ExtorIioners
who have grown suddenly rich by charging enormous
profits can afford to pay the high prizes at which dry
goc are seiug aud hoy their wives aad dAugh ers
do spend their lgoen money IN this way very freely
as any salesman in dry goods store win testify Bat
VIC are yet to be convinced that this demand is sucient
to absorb the large stocks laid in aud constantly re-
penished by the Jews and GentileS who deal in dry
goods. -,..s s.a .-u .s. sDsa'
Ga the contrary We incline 10 the OPT ion that the
present lmaatiOn o. dry good, in Richmond is be-
yond all precedent ince the of the war,
and that the stimulus 10 purchase is dstruat of the
Ultimate redemption of the Confederate currency. Un.
der ordinary oreumsarc large addition to present
stocks would prevent a uthsr rise in eei, lit did

Latest From the East Tennessee Expi-
ditiOh.--Ohieial Report OF ltS D0ihgs,
Col Carter has been heard FROM
His expedition into East Tennessee pro.
we'd a complete success, Tho following
dispatch 10 Gen, Wright, commanding
the Department Of Ohio, from Gen.
Granger. gives the result. We learn
in addition that the expedition was com.
posed of dc.ochmenls from the I'd Mi.
chigan, 7th Pennsylvania and 7Lh Ohio
Cavalry, 1t started on the 2lst ult.,
under orders from Mujor General Wright
and reached lis destination on the seth
ult. The rebels had been apprisoj, 10
hours in advance, Of the approach Of
General Carter, but the strength OF tho
force oi tho latter was greatly exaggera-
ted and there waSa panic in the rebel
camps. His force having been diminish.
cd by dctaching men for guard and
scout duty, he did not have over four
hundred men when be attacked the reb.
cl camp Of eight hundrcd men; but he
whipped the enemy, who lost over five
hundred in killed. wounded and prison.
en. When Gen. Carter reached Union
bridge, he captured train Of cars, in
which were three rebel officers Colonel
Love, General Stephenson and on engi.
neer. The locomotive and cars were
destroyed. Tho Watangee and Union
bridges, together with nine miles Of tho
road, wep destroyed. The nature of
tho county there is such that it is i'm.
paSsable for either wagons or foot pass.
engers between the breaks. There is a
very rough road, however. twenty FIVE
miles in length, over which troops may
be marched, but wagons or artillery can
not pass.
Another important fact is the absence
Of timber in that Country to repair tho
road and bridges. II must either be
hauled f,om North Carolina or brought
by rail from Virginia, II is tho opinion
OF the officers that the road cannot be
repaired in less than two months.
A large quantity Of salt, intended for
Bragg's army was destroyed, together
with other stores found there. Colonel
Carter lost only ten men. The march
was severe one upon men and horses.
The latter suffered even more than the
former The Michigan regiment, how.
ever finding better Onimals among the
rebels then those they were riding, made
an exchange, and returned with new
horses.
A short time before the arrival Of
General Carter in Tennessee, seventeen
hundred conscripts had been sent off to
the army from The mountains These
cano VERY neprs.heing rescued The
