Loss OF THE ATALANTA.-We met
Capt Tom Bowlus, late of the ATLANTA,
and from him learned some particulars
of the loss of that i'll fated steamer.
The Atalanta was descending the
Cumberland, light, and about ii O clock
at night. As she was attempting to pass
the bridge at GAINESVILLE she took sheer
on the Pilot and struck one of the piers,
splitting her stem back to her capstan
She then swung round, striking another
pier and staving in her hull Her head
way motion sent her ints shore and the
crew all escaped by the yawl and by
swimming to trees, from which they were
rescued by small boats.
Her cabin foated off and was landed
at Smithland.
The machinery will probably be re-
covered when the water falls.

ia We made a prediction last week,
without making any pretensions to the
gift of prophecy, that the decline in
gold would be as precipitate as the late
rise. Immediately afterwards gold ad-

This, as we said, was merely an expir-
ing effort on the part of holders, in order
to sell out

to 40 cents yesterday, closing finally at
