Northern Accounts and Comments.

Jackson, April 29.
--Northern papers received here are full of bloody accounts — tyranny and anarchy hand in hand. A dispatch dated Memphis 21st, says "Warrenton" is session of the Federal. Movements are such as to lead correspondents to believe that Grant will capture Vicksburg in a few days.

The number of sick arriving at Cincinnati from Tennessee is increasing. The hospitals are full.

Burnside's advance has reached Cumberland Gap, with the intention of penetrating into East Tennessee. It is now definitely known that Marshall, Breckinridge, and Pegram have fallen back to Knoxville, where Stonewall Jackson is in command of the rebel forces.
