 MEMPHIS, Nov. 8.--We learn from passen- gers who arrived this morning from Colum- bus, something further in regard to the great battle fought there yesterday. Fight occurred on the Missouri shore, and not at Mayfeld Creek, as we supposed.
 Gen. Pillows brigade, 2503 strong, compos- ed of Tappan, Russel, Wright's and Ptckett's Regiment had crossed the river, purposes of which not advised, and encounte. ed the ene- 1cEro ,OAf r., umbus. This brigade not anticipating so heavy an attack, were poorly supplied with an nu- milton. They were attacked by fuli force Of the enemy, and fought gallanty until their ammunition was exhausted. They were then overwhelmed and driven back with great loss to every verge .on the river, where they again made stand--hghting with their hayonets. At this time Gen. Cheathain's brigade was sent over, and with assistance of Gen Folks small command, Smiths Tennessee Regiment, and Blythe's Regiment, carried the fortunes of the day.
 John c. Finnie, of thls city, severely wound ed. His jaw badly mutilated by shell. Capt. Saffarans killed.
 Correspondent of the Appeal from Colum- bus, P. M, says-l have just returned from the battle field, and Pm too much fatigued to give you detailed account of the great gloriou, victory we have achieved here to-day. Defeat of the enemy overwhelming and disastrous; leaving the field strewn with their dead anu wounded, say nothing of overcoats, knapsAcks, guns, &c., they threw aside better to facilitate their inglorious flight. We pursued them miles to their boats, where we captured large quantities of ammunition. The gallant l54th Regiment charged up to within fifty yards of the boats on which they embarked, under most terrific cannonade from their gunboats, which fortunately over shot our men. doing them no damage whatever, with the exception of Col. Smith, having his horse shot from under him. Enemies forces full 7000, and was commanded by Gen. Nc Clernand, in per- son, assisted by Gen. Bowling, who is amongst the prisoners. Gen. Bowling was captured by Rev. James Rogers, of Somervile, who at the same time captured a stand of colors. Col. Dougherty Is also prisoner, and Col. Beaa- fort, who came down with a flag of truce, the other day from Cairo, is amongst the slain, and several others of their field officers a:e' either killed or wounded. Our forces actively engaged at first consisted Of the 18th Tenn, volunteers, commanded by Col. J. V. Wright; 22d by Col. Thos. J. Freeman; 2d by Col J. Knox Walker; 2lst by Col. Pickett and Col. Regiments making, in all, about 2500 effective men, who bore up most gallantly against three to one, for more than two hours.
 Gen. Pillow had chief command, and de- serves all praise for doing some of the most desperate fighting ever done on this continent Gen. Cheatham, however, when our men had been beaten back with loss, ordered Capt Watson's battery carried over, Col. Russell's 9th Tenn, regiment; Col. Marks 1lth La; Col Smiths 154th Tenn, retook the battery, carried death and destruction among the ene- my everywhere. The 4th commanded by Lieut. Col. o. P Strahl, was also ordered over, but was held in reserve and did not ac- lively engage in the fight This was owing to simultaneous attack made on the batte- ries by the gun-boats as we'll as the appre- hension that land force was moving on us from the Kentucky side. A portion of this regiment, however, was detailed to bring in the wounded of the Lincolnites, who were left on the field. A great number were thus taken up and cared for. The men are just now returning to encampment. The scene is q sad spectacle enough by moonlight, and how much worse it will be In daylight, I can- not tell. Our loss is considerable, the heavi- | est being sustained by the four regiments first l engaged. Capt. J. Welby Armstrong, 2d re- giment, was killed, and Cppt. saffarrans mor- tally wounded. No other commissioned off cers, except Lieut.. Walker. either killed or Lieut.. Walkers wound not con- sidered dangerous. Capt. Taylor, pickett's and Capt. Wm. Jackson, of Jack son's battery, are both dangerously wounded Capt. Burton's company, 18th regiment, was literally cut to pieces, Lieut.. Ray being killed We have lost few other commissioned officers, )nt am unable to learn their names tonight
 Our total loss, killed wounded and missing will amount to 150, while that of the enemy,
