We bear from an officer just from Jackson that, in onej as- sault, s after the Yankees had penetrated tojoar third line of defences, our brave grey jackets ral lied and drove them eight miles from the works. Gen, 'Johnston has now on hand 40,000 men ready to take their part in the picture! n support of their devoted brothers beleaguered at Viokjs burg. Grant's losses at Raymond, Big Black and outside -of the Vicksburg works, are enormous. . If he began with . 100,000 meo, hi losses will re duce his force to an equality with purs. That be ine so, who can doubt the result ? : If we were not deterred bv the bad Yankee habit of predicting good tidings, we would veniure to prophecy that we shall soon hear that Grant is taking tobis boats,' and has abandoned the siege, of the heroic city.

The following buildings were burned : I Green's Cotton Factory, together with all the machinery, 300 bales of cotton, and all the build ings connected with the factory ; Phillips' -Factory and all the small buildings connected there with ; J.

Freeman's dwelling boos t all the buildings belonging to the Fair Grounds; rope factory and saltpetre works ; the railroad and city bridge across Pearl river, and all the bridgeand trestle work on the Southern Railroad for several miles ; all shops where government work was be ing carried on. All the stores in the city were pillaged, their contents either carried off or thrown in the street and burned. The MississiDDian STRBe- was broken open, the types thrown in the sSJrejerff and the presses and furniture broken up. Tatr PpstofQce was rifled of its contents. The Gover nor's mansion was broken open and pianos and fur niture destroyed. i The Episcopal church was entered and the) whole interior effaced. Nearly afl the private residences were entered and trunks broken open, fine dresses tarn 'to pieces, and all jewelry, silver ware and provisions taken. Dr. Knapp's office was broken open, his dental instruments carried off and his furniture destroyed. Capt. L. Julian's bookstore and bindery was destroyed. J. W. Gray & Co'S drug store was partially destroyed. Jo Murgridge was an extensive sufferer by the depredations of the varidaU. ' - ! E. Verden's loss in sugar,molasses, &c, ia esti mated at $200,000. D.W. Busick lost heavily in his tobacco commissionaire. Ailed &'Ligon lost all their books, papers, money and: merchandize. Dr. 8. C. Farrar lost his horses and mules. J. M.

Ne-4 groes, from 300 to 500, were taken from the city and adjacent country, and as an inducement for them togo they were promised commissions in the Yankee army, and about 100 of them, were arm ed before they left the city. Intelligent gentlemen estimate the loss of prop erty in the city at five millions of dollars. j On Friday morning a squadron of cavalry came 9ver to Rankin and tore up the railroad about four niiles, and a few rails at other places to within 2 miles of Brandon. Tbey ransacked the private dwellings for arms and ammunition, taking away a few negroes, horses and mules. Among the cbief(sufferer8 in the raid were Mrs. S. M.

We could learn no particulars of the fight at Raymond, except that our loss was about 200 and that of the enemy from four to five hundred. It ia reported that we whipped the enemy very bad ly at Edwards' depot, on Friday, and that we cap tared his immense wagon train. We have no doubt of the truth of the report. . j We can get nothing reliable as to the position of the two armies, but we think it quite likely tat Grant's army will be totally 'destroyed before tbe end of this week. . llshed for the information and guidance of those whem It may eoneern.
