The best information can gather tonight
places our loss at from three to five hundred.
l think three hundred and fifty will cover it.
The battle lasted from IL O'Clock in the
morning until shutdown. Had the day been
longer we should have stood the ground
later, and doubtless have achieved decided
victory.
The rebel loss must be much greater than
ours Among their killed was colonel John
V. Wright OF the 18th Tennessee Regiment,
formerly Member of Congress from that
State. II is supposed that the Rebel camp
at Belmont numbered not less than seven
thousand. These were wholly routed by the
gallant assaults of our little band of less than
four thousand. Our fatigued and wounded
men were then obliged to overcome body o:
five hundred fresh troops in fighting their
way back to the boats. Such fghtine
against odds so vastly superior is seldom
recorded
The rebel reinforcements crossed Just OPP
posite Columbus, and their movements were
| concealed from the gun-boats as well as from
our main forces, until they had formed o..
the Missouri side and we're marching up
to cut # our retreat to tho boat, when our
scouts discovered them, and reported to Gen.
Grant, as stated above.

Dear J0urna! 1T was my intention
not to write any more letters from Camp Nc
Clellan, for your publication, from the fact
had supposed that ere this wo would have de-
parted for st. Louis. have about come to
the conclusion that will make no mo"e pre-
diction as to the probable time Of our depart
ure, as my former progG ostications have pro.
ven so unprophetic. Without doubt, ve will
leave here before next spring. This morning,
await only the distribution Of our oscrcoats
and blankets The last mentioned can, TO hand
last night, and wi be given out to the com
panies this morning. The overcoats are daily
expected, and then will come the fufillmcnt
of the prophesies. Complete your own reck-
oning and see if there is not probability OF
our seeing "Dixie" soon. Yesterday re had
our first battalion drill, and | believe the

we do rot leave in the night.
The news Of Fremont's being sunercedcd

some apprehension is felt for the success of
