We have some further news of the great battle in Tennessee, but owing to the condition of the telegraph, we can get but very few items. – The Federal Loss in Killed and wounded is put down at 1,800 at least. The rebel loss is estimated to be twice as large. It is rumored that Gen. Beauregard had both his arms shot off, besides other wounds.

Allen C. Fuller, Adjutant General of Illinois, telegraphs that we had a glorious, but terrible battle on the Tennessee, and that immediate relief is wanted at Cairo. Provision is being made for the receptions of our gallant wounded at the hospital at Cairo; in charge of Dr. McVickar.
