Prices Tumbling.

twill be seen by the following article,
from the Southern Confederacy, Atlanta,
tina, prices are tumbling in that market
We are glad to see the prices OF several
articles that have heretofore been held at
unreasonably high prices, coming down
considerably. The price of salt is coming
down with grand crash, Pork ditto, and
leather ditto. Each of these articles have,
for several months past. been held at n
fictitious value. There has been no state
or condition Of things to justify the high
figure they have been held at, and such
prices cannot be sustained for any article
without good cause. Already have salt
and pork fallen in the market about hear
so per cent, and they will still 60 lower.
Leather has not as yet fallen in the same
proportion that they have; but il soon will
in our judgment. II is a very great error
which the people have labored under and
suffered by, that we cannot make all our
own meat and leather; and salt is not as
scarce as many people believed, The great
demand for it has passed. The pork is
nearly all sailed away, and the price must
come down.
We congratulate our people upon the
prospect Of better days, war or no war,
blockade or no blockade.

Prospect of Peace.

A letter from New Orleans says "rhis
community is again agitated with hopes
of an early peace. The inspiration comes
from Richmond, and is disconnected with
the Trent affair. What these hopes are
based on have met no one to disclose, ii
he knew. OF the fact, however, that one
or more members of the Cabinet are con-
tident, and that the entire Government
shares in some degree their expectations,
there seems to be no doubt. Contracts
have been Withdrawn, orders revoked and
works suspended. The guess at the i'm
mediate source of this consolatory belief,
would perhaps be as bootless an adven.
ture as the search for a needle in hay
stack. From the day the first gun was
fred at Sumter to the present moment,
there has been q theory that the war must
necessarily be a short ore, Some great

corresponds in every particular with the

would have annihilaied them; but they
were too quick for him, and succeeded in
oyertaking his rear before the desired po-

no alternative left him but TO turn and

The enemy's cavalry commenced the
attack, and after very fierce but short
conflict, were repulsed, when their inian'
/ try coming up. the fight began in earnest.
II continued to rage for three hours, dur
ing which time several brilliant charges
were made by our troops, each charge be-
ing CALAMITY met by the enemy, but they
were finally compelled to fly, notwith-
standing their vast superiority of num-
bers; throwing away, in their precipitate
flight, guns. swords, pistols, knapsacks,
and everything else that impeded their
fight. Their exhibition of fieetness is said
to have far outstripped the famous Bull
