her force of rebels were crossing from Kentucky to attack our troops in the rear, when they commenced retreating. Whilst retiring they encountered the reinforcements from the Kentucky shore, causing a severe loss. As far as ascertained our losses are three hundred missing from two of the regiments. The entire loss is not yet ascertained. We lost also one gun, but took two hundred and fifty prisoners. A flag of truce was sent to Columbus, from Cairo, with fifty wounded rebels. Col. Lamon, of the Federal troops, is dangerously wounded. Major McClerken was wounded and taken prisoner. Col. Wright, of the rebel army, was killed. The loss of the enemy is said to be immense, the fire from the Federal gun-boats mowing them down while covering the retreat of the Federals. The rebels were commanded by General Cheatham, General Polk being at Columbus. It is reported that General Johnson was wounded. Rolla, Mo., Nov. 7.--Capt. Stevens, who left Springfield Tuesd
