From North Mississippi.

--The Jackson Mississippian, of the 18th, has received intelligence that Gen. Bradford was not killed at Holly Springs as reported, but captured and panoled by the enemy. On the 18th the enemy arrived in force at the Talla hatchie river, only thirteen miles from Oxford, Miss., and were there met by Col. Shelby with 600 infantry, when a sharp engagement took place across the river. The Federals were held in check for several hours, and it was thought our reinforcements would arrive at the scene of action in time to drive them back.
