--A special dispatch, dated Okolona, yesterday, says:

‘ "We learn from official sources that there is a Yankee force at Bolivar, Tenn., three regiments at Grand Junction, and one at Davis's Mills. One force which advanced from Grand Junction last Friday morning numbered eighty regiments, comprising 35,000 men. It is rumored that the Federal were camped last night ten miles from Pontotoc in heavy force.

Nine O'clock P. M.--The Yankees are reported to be advancing from Corinth. Our pickets fired on them at Saltillo, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
