The reported fall of Jackson, Mississippi.

Nothing that we have yet received from official or unofficial quarters, satisfies us that this point has really fallen into the hands of the Yankees. Our Northern accounts represent that Gen. Grant, after the engagement with Gen. Bowen at Clinton, had fallen back to the river to await reinforcements. This statement is made on the authority of a dispatch, dated the 6th. Jackson is reported to have been occupied on the 13th. On the 14th, a gentleman in this city received a telegram from this daughter, then in Jackson, dated the 13th, the day on which the city is reported to have fallen, and he says telegraphic communication was open to that place as late as 3 o'clock of the 14th, he on that day having sent a dispatch from this city to his relative.
