The battle at Belmont, Mo.--the wounded — another fight anticipated.
Memphis Nov. 9.
--The Appear's correspondent says that Gen. Grant sent a flag of truce on yesterday, to Columbus, for an exchange of prisoners.
Gen. Polk refused, owing to the insulting character of the proposition.
The bearer of the flag acknowledged a Federal less of 800.
We capture 200 prisoners, and they captured 26 of ours, who were mostly sick.
The Federal gun-boats were badly damaged by our batteries.
Generals Polk, Pillow and Cheatham, participated in the fight.
Another fight is anticipated on the Kentucky side of the Mississippi river to-day.
Like Rachael mourning for her children, business is generally suspended, as our people expect the wounded at the recent battle opposite Columbus to reach here to-day or to-morrow.
