Jackson, Aug. 31.
--A gentleman of undoubted veracity, just from Vicksburg, says the Yankees sent 3,000 negroes to garrison Richmond, La., when the Confederates made a descent, annihilating the whole command. A Yankee captain only escaped. All were killed outright, the Confederates giving no quarter.

The guerillas sank two transports below Natchez ten days ago.
