M., and the column moved forward. At 5 o'clock the enemy's pickets were driven in, and soon after the army came in sight of the rebels' position. McCulloch's camp extended in a valley along Wilson's Creek for three miles, and followed the bends of the streams to the north at its western extremity, and to the south at the eastern. Siegel's attack was to be made at the latter point, and Lyon moved, therefore, upon the western and northern extremity, down the head of the valley. Blair's First Missouri Regiment at about 6 o'clock drove a full regiment of infantry from a ridge at the end of the encampment, and at the same time Totten's battery threw some shells among the enemy's tents.

Y. Tribune, August 11. -General Lyon learned that the rebels, 22,000 in number, under Ben. McCulloch, were on Wilson's Creek, nine miles from Springfield, Mo., and moved against them with his whole force, only 5,200. The force was disposed in two columns. One under Col. Siegel with his own regiment, and that of Col. Salomon's, and six guns, moved 15 miles in a southerly direction to turn the enemy's right flank, and the other under Gen. Lyon moved forward to attack in front. Lyon's column consisted of the Missouri First, Iowa First, Kansas First and Second, part of the Missouri Second, a detachment from Col. Wyman's Illinois Regiment, all volunteers; rebel force in that direction, but were comsent across the creek eastwardly to engage a his battery from the second ridge won, and pelled to retire; when Lieut. Dubois opened threw a number of shells which exploded with great effect, and completely routed this body. Iowa First ordered to take its place, and the Blair's regiment was now withdrawn, and the Kansas regiments to support the Iowa First. An attempt to charge with his cavalry was next made by McCulloch, but the charge was entirely broken by the fire of Totten's battery. Both batteries were soon in position, and the battle resolved itself into the enemy's attempt to dislodge them, and regain the ridges from which he had been driven. In this attempt he was repeatedly foiled. At about nine o'clock, as the enemy came on again, Gen. Lyon, who had received three wounds, put himself at the head of the Iowa First to lead a charge with tho bayonet, when he received a rifle ball in the breast and fell dead. His fall, however, was not generally known. Major Sturgis assumed the command, and the battle went on.—Mean |
