NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
From the two following extracts of letters received by yesterday's mail from Tennessee, it appears probable that the force under Gen. Jackson has achieved another victory over the enemy's force in the neighborhood of Mobile. We hope the next mail from that quarter will afford us ample confirmation of this satisfactory intelligence:
"Franklin, (Ten.) Oct. 23.
"I have heard that Gen. Jackson has had a second battle with the British in the South, and come off victorious. He lost 100 killed, and 160 wounded. The enemy lost 400 killed on the ground; I have not heard how many wounded."
"Winchester, (Ten.) Oct. 29.
"Gen. Jackson has, as we hear, defeated the British again, and killed 400 of them."
