From Tennessee.

Mobile, September 6.--A special dispatch to the Advertiser and Register, dated Tupelo, 5th, says: General Armstrong's official dispatch says, that since his last dispatch, he has crossed the Wahatchie river, and passed between Bolivar and Jackson, Tennessee, destroying bridges and trestle work. At Denmark he encountered two regiments of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and two pieces of artillery. He captured the artillery, destroyed a portion of the trains, took 213 prisoners, and killed and wounded, by their own account, 75 of the enemy. Our loss was small. The prisoners were paroled. At the Bolivar fight two Federal Colonels were among the killed. At Denmark, one Lieut. Colonel and eight other officers were taken prisoners. He had the co-operation of Colonel Jackson, whose command deserves equal credit with his own.

Jackson, September 5th.--General Van-Dorn to day revoked his order declaring martial law.

The Essex came up to Vicksburg to-day and fired two guns at our lower battery, which replied, when the Essex retired.
