Highly Important from Missouri--Federal report of the Engagement at Belmont — heavy Losses on both Sides. Cairo, Ill., Nov. 7.--The expedition under Gens. Grant and McClernand, from this point yesterday, landed at Belmont, Mo., three miles above Columbus, Ky., (which is on the opposite bank of the Mississippi river,) at 8 o'clock in the morning, to the number of 3,500 men. Our troops engaged the rebels, who were about 7,000 strong, at about 11 o'clock, the battle lasting until sundown, when the rebels were driven from their entrenchments across the river, with great loss. Their camp was burned, and their stores, with all their baggage, cannon, horses, mules, etc., and one hundred prisoners, fell into our hands. Subsequently our troops retired as the enemy received reinforcement from Columbus. C
