The reported fight in the Northwest. Louisville, July 14 --The Rich Mountain fight, over which the Federals have been so jubilant, is rapidly losing its interest and reliability to them. The latest dispatch states that the Southern troops were 800 strong, with two cannon. The Southern loss was 75 killed and about as many wounded. The Federal loss was 11 killed and 35 wounded. The above statement of the killed and wounded was approved by Gen. McClellan, but his own dispatches to Washington report his loss to be 20 killed and 49 wounded. It is apparent that the invaders had made plans for certain victory, and sent bulletins before the fight. A courier, sent by McClellan, lost his way, and the General waited all day for a certain signal, which he failed to get, and the enterprise resulted only in the dislodgement of 800 Southern troops by five invading Federal regiments.
