Too ready credenee was given 10 the dispatch

MONDAY, relative TO afi2irs IN the Mississippi Val

that Gen. Johuston bad defeated the enemy ia
battle, anc that Banks bad retired to New Orleans
with only 5000 men. Not only has no conf .rusti0u
OF these stat been received, but the teegrams
from Jackson render II very improbable that any
events have occurred TO give nee TO such reports.
