Edwards's Depot, where the battle of Saturday was fought, is on the Vicksburg and Jackson Railroad from twenty-two to twenty-five miles west of Jackson, and nearly midway between the latter point and Vicksburg. The mention made of Gen. Loring's position in the dispatch published yesterday is difficult to understand. It says he was "on the left, (which we understand to be in the line of battle of Saturday,) was cut off, but cut his way through to Crystal Springs, twenty-five miles south of Jackson."

Fully to understand the exact position, we must be content to wait further accounts, which may reach us at any moment. In the meantime, as we have before stated, we see nothing to encourage the belief that our fortunes are at all desperate in that quarter, and, under the skillful direction of Gen. Johnston, we have abundant reason to

Our troops, numbering not more than 9,000 men, were commanded by Gen. Johnston, and the enemy's force, amounting to between 20,000 and 30,000, was commanded by Gen. Grant. Overcome by superior numbers, our forces fell back on Canton, 25 miles due North of Jackson, situated on the wagon road connecting thence by Vaiden with the road running due East to the Yazoo river, and leading directly to Vicksburg, some 70 miles from Jackson by this route. Gen. Johnston's arrival at Jackson (which occurred on the day previous to the fight) left him no time to organize and prepare for the fight, so early precipitated upon him, and his stubborn and well-contested resistance was doubtless made under many and serious disadvantages. On Friday, the day subsequent to the fight, the enemy's cavalry advanced as far as Brandon, 20 miles this side of Jackson, on the So

Pemberton, after nine hours hard fighting, was compelled to fall back over the Big Black, but the statement above, from the Adjutant of a regiment engaged in the battle, justifies the inference that he did not cross the river, but halted his forces at the bridge, where it is possible he may be able to make a successful stand. From this information we should therefore conclude that Gen. Pemberton is still on the east side of the Big Black, with the bridge undestroyed, over which, if compelled to do so, he can cross to the west side of the river and destroy the bridge after him.
