The fight at Jackson, La.

--The Brandon Republican, of the 20th, gives some particulars of the fight at Jackson, La., gathered from a participant. There were about six hundred white and black Yankees engaged in the fight. We killed about two hundred, mostly negroes, and captured about fifty prisoners, two 6 pound rifled guns, a flag, and nine wagons loaded with provisions.--Our loss was fifteen killed and wounded.--Logan's cavalry have burned all the bridges around Natchez, and captured sixty negroes at Washington, who were making their way to the Yankees.
