Morton, Aug. 10.
--There is no news of interest from the front. Sherman's headquarters are near Osterbaus's old quarters, about two miles from Big Black bridge.

Two divisions have been moved back to Big Black.

The camp contagion still exists to a frightful extent in Steel's division.

Their pickets are this side of Big Black, but none venture further than two miles from the river.

A. Mrs. Landerson, of Kentucky, has been hung by the Yankees because she refused to disclose the whereabouts of her husband.

The Post Office at Jackson has been re-opened.
