The Decline in Prices. —A financial article in a New York paper says: It appears to be very generally understood among both manufacturers and merchants, as well by the consuming public, that we have now passed the climax of high prices, and that henceforth there must be a pre destined fail in the value of all products. This idea, of course, produces special cau tion in the matter of credits, amt has a de pressing effect upon every branch of busin „c«s; but its tendency is neverth'dess to avert any severe convulsions in the markets Iroui a sudden aud extreme fall in values. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. Washington, Dec. 19. SENATE. The Senate resolutions to print the Report of the Commissioners of Pub lic Lands in foreign languages, for dis tribution at the Paris exhibition, was introduced. Mr. Harris, from the Judiciary Com mittee, reported the House bill pro viding for an additional session of the Fortieth and succeeding Congresses on the 4th of March, with an amend ment sti iking out the second section, and inserting “ that no person who was a member of the previous Com gross shall receive any compensation as mileage for going to or returning from the additional session provided in the hill.” A resolution was adopted instruct* ing the Secretary of the Interior to place to the credit of Charles Clark United States Marshal from the Dis trict of Maine, $3,018 for public mon* cy burned during the Portland fire. A resolution was adopted calling upon the Secretary of the Interior for information as to supplies purchased for Indians during the past year— whether they were purchased in open market, &c. Mr. Ross introduced a resolution, which was laid on the table, directing the Committee on Reconstruction to inquire into the expediency of abolish ing such regulations for the govern ment of districts lately in rebellion as shall have refused, or may hereafter refuse to adopt the constitutional amendment.

Nelson, who was indicted in the former State for murder, arising out the performance of military duties under Gen.- Stonenian, The present Governor of North Carolina, (Worth) has since assured him that he had made such demand on the Governor ofTen nessoe.

After the introduction .of a few oth er resolutions of no particular general interest, the House went into a Com mittee of the Whole, on the Legisla tive, Executive and Judicial Appro priation Bill, and progressed almost through the bill, when the committee rose. Mr. Randall, of Kentucky, introdu ced a resolution, which was agreed to, calling upon the President for any in formation lie lias received since the date of his message of Dec., Bth, reD ativefo the occupation of Mexico, by the U. S. troops. Adjourned. The House Committee on Territories will, after the holidays, report a hill providing for the reorganization of the Southern States. Representative Ste vens called up to-day the bill reported from the Committee on Reconstruction on which the Southern States may be re-admitted. He offered some amend ments. The hill now stands as the first special order. Significant— The Cincinnati Commer cial a Radical paper, commentuig npon Tliad. SteVrns’ course in Congiess, says: “It becomes Mr. Stevens to proceed with modesty. He will find before the session lias far advanced, that he is not the leader of the House and that its practical men will refuse to follow him in an atic dance of ram pant radicalism- The Case of Surratt. Tjie alleged.and arrest and escape of Surratt, though of doubtful authen ticity, revives the recollection of the crime in which he was alleged to have been engaged, and of the trial of which his associates suffered. The maimer in which the pursuit of Booth was conducted, his death, the trials and the execution, all tendered to ob scure the facts of the conspiracy, and to throw* doubts upon the parties to it. The recent discovery of the purjuries and deceptions of Conover* Montgom ery, and others,- has infused anew element of doubt into the story. This skepticism has so pervaded the public mind th:lt the death of the chief assas in is doubted, and there is a vague be lief prevalent, in many quarters that Booth still lives! The immense re ward offered for his conviction shake the credibility of testimony, and the fact that Corbett, who shot him, was rewarded, when every public interest required that he should be taken alive, confuses the public mind. Speaking of the conspiracy the Boston Adver tiser says that “ though the most ac cute legal minds have been employed to sift it to the bottom, it is to-day wrapped in as close and unfathomable mystery as covers any similar spot the dimness of middle., ages. The extent of the general ignorance about it may well be gauged by the fact of the two well known gentle men who were put in charge of the case by the Gonernment, and studied long and closely, one still declares that Jefferson Davis was the chief conspirator, while the other stakes his reputation on the shocking and in credible accusation that the President of the United Ststes was an aecom plice in the plot. 'I hat paper proposes, if Surratt falls into our hands, to “otter him his life and liberty, or any oilier price which might be sufficient to secure it, to ob tain from his lips the information which will shed the light of day upon the most difficult as well as the most interesting criminal mystery of tkrue.” But who is to-believe testimony thus purchased ? The m-alace that prompt ed and paid the accusation against Davis might now rejoice to- direct it against Johnson*—and- it is evident, front* the- Advertiser's own- showing, that there arc men eager t-o involve the President in this or any other blackening accusation, . Speaking of one of the victims of the military law, the Springfield Re publican says tlmt “It is thtv gener al opinion' of lawyers who have studied the evidence that nothing at all was proved against Spangler. If the accused had been tried before a jury, as the Constitution requires, there would have been no such pain ful doubts ns now exist as to the justice of the awards rendered. The mischief may in part be remedied by anew and legal trial-ofthose who survive, and if this is- granted- in Spangler’s case, as it clearly should be, it may also be granted to others, anil doubtless will- be, if the facts elicited by the new trial of Spangler shall seem-to re quire it.” It is a pity if this story of the cap ture of Surratt should turn out to be false. It might afford an opportunity* for the reparation of some "great wrongs, and now throw light upon some dark passages m-o<ir history. Senator Doolittle Hopeful.*— Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin, was at New Orleans last week on a pro fessional engagement, and was invited to speak. In a note declining, on ac count of the brevity of his visit,, he says: I have seen nothing to change, but not much to confirm, the views ex pressed by me in the Senate last win ter, in the National Union-Convention at Philadelphia, and at other places during the late canvass in the North ern States. While the time of the full recogni tion may be postponed by the result of the recent elections longer than I could have wished, my faith is still unshaken that, at no distant day, the people of the Northern States will recognize, as the President and the Supreme Court have already recogni zed, these States of the South as States of the Union, under the Constitution, with “all their rights, dignity and equality unimpaired.” It is just as certain, in my judg ment, as that the people of the North ern States are capable of maintaining republican government lor themsel ves, Tiiad Stevens.— This poor old buf foon is finding himself deserted in every way by his own party. In the last number of Harper’s Weekly, one of tbc most radical of all the dirty sheets of the North, we find an article on Congress, from which we take the following significant extracts : “Wc repeat the hope that we ex pressed during the last winter, that some representatives whose radical conviction are unquestionable as those of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, will save Congress and the country from the disgrace of his unchecked talk and action. The motion of this gentleman that the House should adjourn during the reading of the President’s Message was not so much an insult to the President as to the whole country, and his remarks at the banquet of re ception were untimely and foolish.” It seems that there is still some sense ot decency remaining with a portion of the Radicals. O OMMERCI-A.Xi. Atlanta Market. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 20th, 1860. Editor Rkbudlioak : The jnclcmoncy of the weather during the greater part of the past week his. prevented trade from being active and heavy.

The supply of Oats is fair, with a good de mand. We quote at $1 00. The excessive demand for Salt, has reduced Hie stock, but. prices are no higher. Liver, pool is worth $4 per sack, and Virginia §3 00. There has been a great falling off in tliede dtnand for Lagging and ltopo, for which the season in this section seems to be about ov er.
