Too much praise cannot be given to
our men, as they fought bravely against
great odds, and terrific fire from the
enemy's batteries.

Iowa 7th, is dangerously wounded.
LATER.
The battle commenced at eleven, and
continued until shutdown. Our boys
drove the enemy from their entrenct-
ments with great loss, burned their camp
and stores, with all their baggage, tooR
all their cannon, brought home their
horses and mules, two field pieces and
near 100 prisoners but were finally
forced to retire to our boats, the rebels
having received reinforcement from
Columbus. Our force was about 3, 500
The rebels was about 1000.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9.-Gen. Grant tele-
graphs here from Cairo to headquarters
here that our victory at Belmont was,
complete. We captured 1870 prisoners
and all the rebels artillery. but were
obliged to leave part OF the guns behind
for want Of horses to haul them.

Eg- We have had another of our new
er.ending skirmishes against superior
forces, more of the splendid dash and
daring of our own troops, and more of
their retiring, g in good order" before
large reinforcements, with great loss in
killed an wounded. By report in an
other column it will be seen that an ex-
petition started on the 9TH from Bird S
Point, and and encountered the enemy
at Belmont, driving him back with great
loss for two or three miles, capturing his
camp, and his cannon, and fully routing
him. Reinforcements, however, were
sent over from Kentucky, and our troop
were then compelled to fall back with
loss, to their boats, leaving most of THEN
captured cannon to be retaken. The I'll
Iowa had its Colonel, LAuMAN, wound
ed, Lieut. Col VENT killed, Adjulant
missing-reported killed, besides losing
$50 in killed, wounded and missing
This shows how nobly our Iowa boy,
must have fought, but indicates grea
loss in the whole command. The de.
tails come in slowly, but the latest re.
ports say that the enemy suffered much
more than we and that our victory was
complete We fear, however, that il
can scarcely be called victory for us
certainly it vas dearly bought.
Columns of troops were also advanced
towards Columbus, probably with view
to keep the troops there engaged, and tc
prevent the reinforcement of those a
