J.-B. Chamberlin, hospital steward, received a severe cut in the face, tut did not seem to be greatly inconvenienced thereby.

The fleet Ipft•the wharf about a quarter be fore six o'clock, amidst loud and' prolonged cheers, and the crowd, ns the steamers passed out of view, slowly retired from the 'ivharf. We are glad to learn that the accident is not likely to result so serlimsly as was at first feared. The injuries sustained by Mr. Franey sere not so severe as was supposed, and his physician thinks he will be able to rejoin his regiment in a few days. The same remarks ma i y be also made in reference to Mr. Clemens, the lender of the band, and others whoa ere injured. If they have not already, they expect very soon to be re united with their associates in camp, in Kentucky. We hope that these expecta tions may be speedily realized, and that no accident of any kind shall again overtake them. A Day of Thanksgiving and Praise.

He was the true type of a gentleman, an accomplished Acer and galls nt soldier: Ills untimely fate has east a gloom over a large circle of warm hearted friends. The rebels, in every skirmish we ,have yet had, picked off some of our best of ficers. The fault is generally their own, in their honest and patriotic seal for thp cause of the Union they expose themselves too much. Skimiiall al Ti lteural Ferry—The Death of Col. Baker. The skirmish at Edwards' Perry, and in the vicinity of Leesburg, yesterday, was more serious than at first apprehended.— The rebels allowed our forces to cross the river without opposition, ;And, V.. 9 they marched forward in the direction of Lees burg, opened upon them from ambuscade= and masked batteries. A portion of General Stone's division had the advance, when the commander, finding that the rebels out num bered him nearly four to one, besi les the natural advantages in their possession, main tained his ground until reinforcements, which were sent for from Gen. Banks' col umn, came up. A spirited engagement then followed. Colonel Baker, with a portion of .;;is command, led the charge in gallant style. lie was at the head of his c)lumn, urging his men forward, when he was pierced by sjme eight or ten rebel rifle halls. He died, it, is said, without uttering a word. The Colonel, before he left her: en Saturday, had a premonition that he would be killed. Ile give directions how he wanted his body disposed of. His friends went up to the scone of conflict this morning to bring his baly home, enc? it will arrive here this af ternoon. The rebels fell bock with heavy loss, and left our troops in possession of the ground. The rebel loss is reported to be over one hundred in killed. Our frees had three or four killed and about twenty wounded. More skirmishing is reported this morn ing at Leeib.irg, but nothing official had reached here up to 2 o'clock. Col. Murphy's Twenty-ninth Pennsylva nia Regiment, and Col. Stiles' Ninth Now York Regiment, which have been encamped at Darnestown, Md., for some days past, received orders ~c- e narcht at daylight this morning. providel with three days' rations, for E wards' Parry. It is expected that the whole of General Stone's and Gen. Banks' divis;ons will cross over into Virginia before night, and form a junction with Geo. McCall's division of Pennsylvania Reserves, at Leesburg. Gen. Johnston's rebel forces are hovering near them. A serious battle may ensue on this line if the rebels have the courage to meet our troop 4. Co!. Baker, when he was killed, was on horseback, and dressed in full niform. It is said that one hundred Mississippi rifles were aimed at him when he fell. ANOTITER ACCOUNT The object of the movement of Gen. Stone was to secure the command of the Virginia shore, that his division, and that of General Banks, could be safely transferred to the soil of Virginia. The officer left in command by C.A. Ba ker's death, very properly gave the order to fall back to a position near the river bank, where he coull be supported byGen. Stone and the other portion of his army that had by that time effected a crossing of the river. This order was obeyed in good order, and he carried with him all his wounded and dead. Col. Cogswell, the commander of the New York Tit.nmany Regiment, (Capt: Cogswell, of Eighth Infantry, A.,) is a.nong the minting. • I F4ct. Col.

Throughout the night the balance of Gen eralo Stone's force crossed th ' er, and threw up temporary works th . , red his position secure, and enabled him o protect the crossing of the division of Gon. Banks, to be essayed this morning. Gen. Bank's-army duly arrived at — the Maryland landing of Edwards' Ferry last night, and has .been crossing the river se curely since day-light. Gen. Banks is in person on the Virginia side, and has assumed the chief command there. - Oen. division remains in abov i t the position its main body has held for some days past, from whence it may operate effectively in any required direction; its presence higher up the river to support the important juovemeut of generals Stone and Banks not,he.ving kep necessary, as the result proves. Our total killed, wounded and missing, in the course of the day, was about 200. A Federal Victory in Iffissouri. JEFF. THOMPSON AND LOWE ROUTED.
