A battle was fought between the forces of Gen. Sibley and Gen. Canby on the 21st February, which resulted in the complete defeat of the latter with great loss. The particulars, as given by the courier, disclose the fact that this has been the closet contested battle of the war, and perhaps the bloodiest for the num
