Bacon. --This necessary article of food, which for several weeks past has apparently been very scarce, and commanded a most extravagant price, is now advertised in considerable quantities by the grocers and commission merchants of Richmond.--No doubt a great deal of it has been held up, like other articles, for a rise, the holders hoping for such a result as McClellan's anaconda drew its folds tighter around the city. Various lines of communication now being opened, and the anaconda having uncoiled itself, it is to be hoped that bacon, like a good many other articles to which events have given a fictitious value, will fall down to a reasonable figure.
