Dry Goods.

Dty OO0dS.
Ever since the first of the month the dry
goods trade has been exceptionally depressed.
and the past week has been discouragingIy
dull, with no brilliant prospects Of an iame-
tain extent accidental, but the effect is none
the less disastrous. Trade will revive but in
the meanwhile many houses must seriously
sufier. There have been some very large offer
iDgS IN the auction rooms of seasonable goods
by the great impor ters. during the week, but
the sales were not in proportion to the attend
ance and apparent interest felt In them. When
lots brought satisfactory prices they were du.
plIcated; but these were rare instances The
importations for the week have fallen of
largely, and steamers arriving here bring very
hight freights.
For unbleached domestics the demand has
been very limited. The reduction OF prices
does not induce purchasers TO take hold, ex
cept to supply the hand to- mouth orders of
customers: bat as soon as 1t sh: ii be under
stood that bottom has been touched there will
be a rush to buy, and prices will advance.
In the various styles OF bleached goods, in
wills, Jaconets and cambr les the demand is
slack, but no material changes Of prices are
reported. The reg ular quotations are subject,
however, to deduction OF two to four per cent
better sustained in prints than in almost any
other description Of goods. The stock1n agents
nands Is large, and the jobbers have great va.
rely OF excellent styles to MAKE their selec-
tions frem. Ginghams have been neglected.
aud the reduced prizes do not stimulate pur.
chasers. Linseys are in some what better de-
mdno, out muelln de ldines moth Withst8ndin
reduction OF two cents q yard in the better
qualities, are very dull. The stock on hand
Of these goods is largely dispropor,loned 10 the
demand.
Woolens OF all kinds are dull, and the at.
tempt to force sales OF undesirable styles at
auction has had bad nfluence on the market
The season is about over for large purchase by
the great clO-hing manufacturers, and onIy
new styles OF cassimeres aud vestings COM
mand full prices. The market is abundantly
supplied With fianneIs, and only the heavier
qualities maintain prices. Blankets are in
better demand, and, the stock being small, an
ADVANCE IN prices is not unlikely. In foreign
goods of all kinds. except in merinos and
choice styles Of muslin de lanes. there Is great
dullness, and importers are anxious to dispose
OF their stocks.-N Y. independent, 2itA inst

the essays by Mrs. Daniel Rice, published
in tho Vermont Farmer, the following
paragraphs are copied:
Did you over think of the amount Of
thought requisite to plan three meals day,
for three hundred sixty-fve days in sue
cession2 To prepare enough and not too
much, and for those living at a distance
from the village, to remember that the
stock Of flour, sugar, tea, etc., etc., is re-
plenshed in due time2 Did you ever
think Of the multitude of her cares and
duties She must rise early to prepare
breakfast or oversee it. Perhaps there are
children to wash, dress, and feed, or to get
ready for school with their dinners. There
is baking, sweeping, dusting, making beds,
lunch for the men, may be; dinner aud
supper to be ready at the proper time
the washing, starshiug, folding, and IRON
ing Of the clothes the care of milk, in
cluding the making of butter and cheese;
the inevitable washing Of the dishes.
In autumn, there is the additional work
of picking, preserving, canning of fruit,
drying apples, boiling cider, making apple
sauce, with the still more unpleasant task
which falls to her lot at butcheriug time.
Then there is hayiug, harvesting, sheep
shearug, etc., when more help is needed,
bringing an increase of her labors. Twice

Of all the foes housekeeper has to contend
with, dirt is the greatest. She may gain
complete victory, and think to repose
upon her laurels after her semi.annual en-
gagements, but it is only temporary. The
enemy soon returns, and even daily skir--
mlshing does not keep it at bay. There is

in the present state of the world. It seems
to be one Of the evils of life which must be
borne as we bear other ills-but what 1 do
ask, is due appreciation Of the important
part that woman acts, and concession
that her labors, mental and physical, are
as great, all things considered, as those Of
the other sex. Women are not so childish

CLOTHES ON FIRE-WHAT TO DO
There are many lives lost annually, espe-

of their clothing. When an occurrence Of
this kind takes place it requires cool and

VIOLENT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DEMANDS
COMING.

COMlN9.
In the Senate this morning Summers res.
o!utions were resurrectej, and Mr.. Morton,
the new Senator from Indiana, made his
debut in a'violent Radical speech, denyipp
IN toto the inality of the Military Force
bill. AS this gentleman is a'"loaf fresh
from the oven Of the people," he regarded
as atype at least of those he represents.
1t is remrk able that all the new Senators
are Of the rabid stripe and that all those
OF the moderate" Cor hypocrit;cal) school
have been defeated.
Morton and Howe (who has Just been
re-eected) took the ground that Congress
was by no means committed to the terms
Of the Sherman-Shelabarger scheme
that it prescribed ''some' ofthe conditions
upon which the unrepresented States might
be admitted, but not all-that many things
more would be neutrality-suspicious.
satisfactory constitutional provisions secu-
ring schools to the negroes-before the
Southern States could resume positions in
the Federal Union. Mr.. Howe advanced
the doctrine broadly that Congress having
explicitly decided, in the overwhelming
vote for the bill DISTINGUISHING certain Of.
the whites and enfranehising all the me-
groes of the South, that the whole section
excluded from representation was complete.
ly at the mercy of Congress, and that it
was idle for Senators who voted for that
measure to object to whatever that body
might deem expedient to impose. He De-
precated any breach of faith. In this case,
however, there was none plightsd: He
desired to act fairly, and to fully appfizs.s
the Southern people, 10 advance what
would 'nesitably be required 9of then.-s;''
A contrary course was really the dishonr
orable ore: IT withou. warning Congress
permitted the Southern States to complete :,
their constitutions under the present flaw

impression that such action was ali .thst )

been unhorsed several times, but he ;s 90
nimble of foot and strong of hand and
arm that he soon leaps into his scat again,
ready for another joust. But Senator
Sumner was yesterday thrown flat upon
his back, and it will put his back bone to
severe test to recover his perpendicular
ity. His resolutions asking Congress to
force the South to give every colored man
farm, All education and secret ballot as
conditions Of restoration were laid on the
table by vote Of SO 10 10. There was
something almost ludicrous in the sad and
solemn protest uttered by the Hon. Rev
erdy johnson against the confscation Of
the lands and houses in the Southern Suites
to convert them into homesteads for the
freedmen. In the innocence of his hea
he had supposed that when he voted for
the five-brigadier bill he had gone to the
utmost verge of Radical demands. He
had made the sacrifice and had counseIIed
the South to submit to the measure, be-
cause he believed the Radicals might in
vent something harsher yet, but he was
thunderstruck at seeing proposition
thrust into the Senate that would render a
settlement Of our difficulties utterly mpos-
sible. He cannot have been a very atten.
tive observer or he would have discovered
that Sumner radicalism has fathomless
depths, and that Mr.. Summers "great idea"
is to plunge ten States into those depths
and that if the other States should not
come up to the Sumner standard he.swill.
by and by, plunge them in also, if ha can.
He would have discovered that no amou mt
of yielding can soften The bloodless hearts
Of Sumner and Stevens. Their furnacea
are in full blast, and they can forge shackles
for the South faster than they could be put
on and worn, even if everybody was az
willing rs Barkis.
But the good sense of al overwhelming
majority Of tho Senate smashed Mr., Sum
ner yesterday, and lie will probaly devote
himself during the remand or of the aession n
to the contemplation Of affairs in his Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.

THE FLOOD AT CHATTAN0oGA.-Loss OF
LIFE AND PROPERTY

LIFE AND PROPERTY.
From gentleman who left Chattanoo-
ga at late hour on Monday evening last,
the Atlanta Intelligencer has obtained a
few particulars Of the terrible state of "
fairs in that unfortunate city. At the time
he left, the Tennessee River was still RI
sing, the rain still falling, and the whole
country presenting the sppe arance of
vast sea OF water. BE was a guest at the
Crutchtield House, where he remained
until the water reached the ceiling of the
first story Of that hotel. On Market
street, the main business thoroughfare,
the water was ten feet dsop at the highest
points, or over the tops Of the awnings in
front Of the largo stores. The goods had
been removed to the second stories of the
buildings, where it was believed they
would be safe, and the necessity of remo-
wing them to more secure point was not
seen until it vas too late. Thus, more
than three-fourths Of the dry goods, pro-
visions, &C., were destroyed. Our ufor.
msnt estimates that at least two thirds of
the city is literally destroyed. He saw
small houses floating hther and thither,
while many large ones had either tumbled
over, or were falling assunder. The scene
was one Of wild confusion. Psrso ms who
had remained in their homes in the vain
hope that the waters would recs,le, were
compelled, in some Instances, to make their
exit through the roofs, and escape in boats.
LIE could not give an opinion as to the
number of lives lost, but they were nu-
merous.
The citizens were going from house to
housein boats, assisting each other, and
sndeavoring to save few valuables.-
While this was the case with the better
class, vagabond white men and negroes
were busy in taking advantage of the sit
uation and perpretra!ing robberies and 9TH
or acts of lawlessness. Great loss will re-
suit to families whose homes bad bsen
abandoned. Much Of the railway stock
was submerged, while box cars we're float.
ing abont in every direction; the water in
the car shed was over seven feet deep.
The Tennessee River Is fifteen feet higher
than ever before known, so say old inhab.
itants.
