THE BATTLE OF MOUNT Zion, Mo.-A
correspondent of the Missouri Democrat
of the LIST inst, writing from Camp Nc
Clelland, gives the following account Of
Gen. Prentiss' successful exploit at Mount
Zion, Boone county. Mo-, on the 18th
ult.. soue account of which has been had
by telegraph:
One of the sharpest battles of the war
was fought about eighteen miles from this
place to-day. Col Birgc, commanding his
regiment of oharpshooters. had learned
through his spies that rebel camp was
located at place called Mount Zion Meet
ing House, in Boone county. Gen. Prem
tiss having come to this place yesterday
with about three hundred cavalry, under
command of Col. Glover, he accordingly
organized command of five companies of
Sharpshootcrs under COL Brgc. and two
hundred cavalry under, under Col. Glover,
and moved toward the rebel camp. Arri-
wing within about a mile, General Prentiss
ordered Col. Glover to attack detach-
ment of about one hundred, which had
taken position in lane. He did 30 with
great gallantry, killing number and
taking several prisoners. The others fed
to camp.
The order of battle was now assumed.
Col. Birge, with three companies of his
command, advanced through the field,
taking the left. Joined the force of Col.
Glover, while Gen. Prentiss held position
with a reserve of sharp-shooters and a
portion Of cavalry. The attack was COM
menced in full force. The fire from the
whole rebel lire was terrific upon the right
wing. For moment our column wavcred
and fell back. Col Birgc observing this,
rode into the most perfect storm Of leaden
hail that was ever met on battlefield,
calling upon the men to rally. Col. Clio
yer. coming up with Major Temple, and
uniting with Col. Birge, soon rallied the
whole line, and the fight became terrible.
Capt Boyd, advancing from the right
wing, poured in from the rifles at every
fire messengers of death. Col. Birgc, with
daring that could not be cxcclled, led
on the left wing. He soon saw the enemy
on the right giving way. and sounding
the cry of victory, the whole line rushed
forward, and the rebels fed in every d.
rectiOn. Col. Birge pursued them. with
Capt. Boyd, for two miles, killing four
and taking five prisoners.
The rebel battle-ground--what sight
After they had taken away before they
fed seven wagons loads. it was then com.
pletely covered with dead and wounded
The rebels had taken chosen ground in
the woods where cavalry could not operate
Col. Glover, however, dismountei his cav,
airy and led them forward with his usual
bravery. The GOODNESS and daring of Col
Birg in rallying his men in the midst Of
a perfect tornado of bullets, is deser,i ing
of all the praise due to gallant soldier
and what is more for him. during The
three hours the battle ragged. be never left
