A FUNERAL DAY IN THE SENATE.
[From our Special Correspautlent.]
WAAIIINCTONT, Dee. 11, 1861
We had a funeral day in Congress, over the an
nouncement of the death of Senator Baker. The
anticipation of this event drew a large crowd to the
&nate Chamh.-, tl,e galleries being mu, and
every Senator in the city was in his seat. Shortly
after prayer the President of the United States en
tered, accompanied by Senators Browning and
Trumbull. This extraordinary compliment to the
memory of the deceased, and so much at variance
with all legislative custom, was only determined on
by the President after consultation with many of
the oldest Senators. Mr. Lincoln looked rather
pale and sad; but was, nevertheless, in the appa
rent enjoyment of excellent health. He simply
bcOffcti, to Ono or two Senator s nea r b 6., and tools a
chair on the right of Vice President Hamlin, where
he remained until the adjournment. Mrs. Lincoln
and a lady friend occupied seats in the diplomatic
gallery, while Messrs. Nicola) , " and Hay, his private
secretaries, were on the floor. Quite a number of
members from the other house were present. The
sant of the late Smear was an object of interest to
the gallery. It was unoccupied and deserted, the
table being bare and blank, without a paper or a
document or any sign of life or business.
The speeches of the Senators were characteristic
of'the men. Senator Nesmith offered his resolu
tions in a plain, practical speech, avoiding ornament
and rhetoric, paying a tribute to the merits and
memory of the deceased. Senator McDougall fol
lowed in a speech of great power, containing an ad
mirable philosophical analysis of the character of the
deceased. Senator Browning made an elaborateethl
elegant oration, which was delivered with all the
graces of a finished speaker. Senator Cowan was
keen, quaint, original, and antithetical. Senator
Dixon was smooth, chaste, and sensible, who always
is. Senator Sumner exhibited all the accomplish
ments of the scholar, the orator, and the rhetori
cian, whilv Senator Latham delivered an easy and
elegant address. Altogether, the oratorical display
over the lamented deceased was one of the finest
that have been witnessed in the Senate since the
commencement of the present Congress. The scene
was a very impressive one. The day was rather
dark, the chamber hazy and dull. In the galleries
there was a general feeling of sadness. The Sen
ate seemed to he shrouded in gloom, while at the
right hand of the Vice President sat the great ruler
of Our nation, dressed in deep mourning, and pre
senting the beautiful spcstacle of the Magistrate of
a nation stepping aside front the harassing cares
of Government to pay a tribute of respect to the
dear and valued friend of earlier and humbler
days.
After the adjournment of the Senate a number
of people were presented to the President in one of
the ante-rooms, and held quite a levee. It did not
last long. Tearing himself away from his friends,
he hastily left the Capitol, and plunged once more
into the affairs of filo nation. J. R. Y.

MR. PRESIDENT: Tho Seustor to whom to-day we say
farewell was generous - in funeral homage to others. More
than once he held , areat companies in rapt attention
while hp did honor to Um dead. Oyer the coffin of Bro
derick be pi Oclaimed the vying utterance of this early
victim, and gave to it the fiery wings of his own elo
quence. " They have killed me because I was opposed
to the extension of slavery and a corrupt Administra
tion," said Broderick, and, as the orator repeated these
words, hia own tool wta knit in oyinildihy with the tic il l
and thus at once he endeared himself to the friends of
freedom even at a distance.
Who would not sing for Lycides l He knew
Himself to sine and build the lofty shrine.
There are two forms of - eminent - talent which are, kin.
dyed in their eftects—oath producin g an instant present
impression—each holding crowds in suspense, and each
kindling, enthusiastic admiration; I mean that of the
orator and of the soldier. Each of these, when success.
ful, wins immediate honor, and reads his praise in a
nation's eyes. Baker -was orator and soldier. To hint
belongs the.rare renown of this double character. Per
haps he carried into war something of the confidence in
spired by the conscious sway of great multitudes—as he
surely brought into speech something of the ardor of
Ivor: Cell hinh if you pions°, tho Rupert of - battle—ho
was oho the Rupert of debate.
His success in life attests not only his own remarkable
genius, but the benign hospitality of our institutions.
Born on a foreign soil, he was to our country only a step
-0011; but were he Dow alive I doubt not he would grate
fully declare not the country was never to ithnt an un_
gentle step-mother. The child of a weaver, he was
brought while yet in lender years to Philadelphia, where
be Boon lost his father by death. His earliest days were
passed with the loom rather than at school; and yet front
this beginning he. achieved the highest Posts of trust ant
honor; being at the same time Senator and General. It
was the boast of Pericles, in his funeral oration at the
cerernotries over the dead who had fallen in battle, that
tile Athenians were ready to 1111111111111 l to all ie ad
rentego which Pier eitioYed—that they Uhl not exchnlo
the stranger front their walls—and that Athens was a
city open to the human family. - The sameboast may be
repeated by us, with better reason, as we commemorate
our dead fallen in battle.
From Philadelphia, the wearer's orphan was carried
to the West, where he grew with the growth of that sur
prising region. lie was one of its children, and his own
manhood was closely - associated with its powerful pro
gress. The honors of the bar and of Congress soon
were his. But hi:: impatient temper led him from these
paths into the Mexican war, where he gallantly took the
place of. Shields, torn with wounds and Almost dead, at
Cerro Gordo. But the great West, beginning to teem
with populatioo, did not satisfy his ambithm, and he re
paired to California. Too child, whose infancy was
rocked on the waves of the Atlantic; whose manhood
wasformed in the broad andopet.expansti of the Prairies,
now sought a home online shores of the Pacific. There
again his genius was promptly recognized. A new State,
which had jn,t taken a place in the Union, Cent him as
her earliest Senator; and Oregon became truly known to
us on this floor by his eloquent lips.
L. !hi, gabale he at Mire tOr.k the place of orates. Ms
voice was not full or ...morons; but it was sharp and
dear. It was penetrating rather titan commanding,
and yet whtn touched by his ardent nature, it became
sympathetic and trill musical. ills countenance, body,
and gesture, all showed the unconscious inspiration of
his voice, and he went on—master of his audience—mas
ter also of himself. All his faculties were completely at
his command. Ideas, illustrations, words seemed to
come unbidden and so range themselves in harmonious
forms, as in the walls of ancient Thebes, each stone took:
its proper place, of its own accord, moved only by the
music of a lyre. llis fame as a speaker was so peculiar,
even before he appeared among us, that it was some
times supposed that he might lack those solid powers,
without which the oratorical faculty itself can exercise
only it transient influence, But his speech on this Iluor,
in reply to a slave-holding conspirator—now an open re
bel—showed that his matter was as good as his manner,
and that while he was a master of fence, he was also a
master of ordnance. His controversy was graceful,
sharp, flashing, like a schnetar ; but his argument was
powerful and sweeping like a battery.
Yon have not forgotten that speech. Perhaps the
argument anal!' st the sophism of secession was never
better arranged and combined, or more simply popu
larized for the general apprehension. A generation had
passed since that traitorous absurdity, the fit cover of
conspiracy, had been exposed. It had shrunk for a
while into ilat tmess, driven back by the massive logic-or
Daniel Webster and the honest sense of Andrew Jack
son.
The times hue been
That when the brains were out the man would die,
And there an end but new they rite again."
As the pretension now showed itself anew, our orator
undertook again to expose it. How thorsughly he did
this, now with historic and now with forensic skill, while
his whole ellen was elevated by a charming, ever-ready
eloquence, wheel, itself vrae aroneed to new power Ly
the interruptions which he encountered—all this is pre
sent to s - our minds. That speech passed at once into the
permanent litereture of tha country, while it gave to its
author an assured position in this body.
Another speech showed him in a different character.
ft was his inetant reply to the Kentucky Senator not
then expelled from this body. The occasion was peculiar.
A Senator with treason in his heart, if not on his lips,
had just taken his scat. Our departed Senator, who had
just entered the chamber direct front his camp, rose at
unco to reply. lie b« gait simply and calmly, but as he
proceeded his fervid soul broke forth in words of sur
passing power. As on the former occasion he had pre
sented the well-ripened fruits of study, so now he spoke
with the spontaneous utterance of his own natural and
exuberant eloquence, meeting the polished traitor at
every point, with weapons keener and brighter titan his
own.

SPEECH OF HR. DIXON', OF CONNECTICUT.
Mr. DIXON said;
PriEelDliNT When death, in any of its 6ididAtiy
forms, enters this Chamber, and terminates the labors,
e responsibilities, and the anxieties of the position here
occupied, the occasion is necessarily one of the highest
interest to us as members of this body, and scarcely less
so to the entire nation. How much of added interest is
imparted by the peculiar cironmerance,tikat surround the
sad event which we are this day called to deplore !
Senator, in the prime and glory of manhood, enjoying
the homage so lavishly and cheerfully paid by mankind
to genius; endowed with an eloquence truly wonderful in
its scope, Its fulness, anti its resistless power and add
ing to this full measure of political honor that still intro
brilliant and more coveted object of ambition in noble
minds—,military glory—is suddenly arrested in his career.
The voice to which men thronged to listen with such eager
attention is silent. The now of that torrent of ideas, ex-
Waged in that boundless eoaionsneSe of language, anti
illustrated by that exhaustless exuberance of fancy
which has often excited our wonder not less than our
admiration, has ceased forever with the life Which our
departed friend offered on the field of battle as his willing
tastiftee in the mums of his eountey. A life like his=so
honored, so occupied, so rewarded by all that men most
desire on earth, and so closed in such a cause as trot
which his martyr-blood has doubly consecrated—surely
is worthy of giving pause, not only to the daily offices of
the t'nrite, but of arresting the attention and exciting
the profound sorrow of a mourning
The peculiar circumstances of the death of General
Baker have been already related. After he assumed a
command in the army, there was, as many of his friends
perceived, an unwonted sadnessin his expression, always
serious and contemplative, He hod looked upon civil
war as an event certain to happen, unless averted by
some extraordinary means of negotiation. He had de
clared himself willing to sacrifice somewhat of his own
extreme.views, to avert the impending calamity which
he so clearly foresaw.. But when the but hope of a
Peaceful solution of our troubles had been destroted by
the acts of rebels in arms against ttto Government, he
was not satisfied with merely giving his vote as a Senator,
and his voice as an orator, 16 the cause of the Con
stitution. His sense of duty demanded of him
more than this. Yet, as I have already inti.
mated, there was perceived a more than usually
saddened expression in his eye, and an almost tender
melancholy in the tones of his voice, which might have
satisfied any observer that no selfish motive, no vulgar
ambition, had prompted him in the sacrifice he was
making. i was not, therefore, surprised when, in the
last conversation I had with him, I discovered with how
deep a spirit of patriotic devotion he had entered the
military service. The death which has so gloriously
ended his earthly labors was nnexpected ; and, in
recalling his words on the occasian to which I allude ) I
can hardly suppose it was undesired. Ile felt and de
plored, more deeply perhaps than most of us, the con
ditior of the country; and there was also, possibly, a
presentiment in his highly imaginative mind of his ap
intichirw end, Ham, there was no dread, no shrinking
from any post of duty, however nerilinti. But I well
remember how, here, near the spot where I now stand,
in language more emphatic and noire expressive flour any
Pearl now recall, or command, he disavowed having been
actuated by any desire for military glory in taking sip
arms for the defence of the Constitution and the Union.
It was the voice of duty. and this alone, which called
him to the bete, and hi obeying that call he felt that lie
was offering his lib% I think, too, there was that in his
bold and adventurous spirit that gave a mysterious
charm to any duty accompanied by danger. His nature
seemed scarcely capable of quiet 11124 repose There was
A restlessness, an impatience, in his constitut'oa which
would not suffer him to be an unparticipating spectator
in any great conflict, much less in one that involved the
eiilshinee sf the hatibri. Fer ldm, thersfsee, to withhold
his hand from the sword, in this great controversy,
would have been an impossibility under any &cum-
Mame& Had be 13n MR what death he was to die, his
course would have been the same; fur he was evidently
born of that blood which makes men feel that it is—

Although I became somewhat familiarly acquainted
with - Geaeral Baker, neatly sixteen years ago, I know
little of his early mental habits, or of his course of dis
cipline and study; yet it was inmossibie to listen to his
to his , elaborate Ctidil9 hi the
Senate, or more especially, to those unsurpassed speci
mens of eloquence, which, without a moment's prepara
tion, he threw oft; burning and sparkling, in the heat
and glow of extemporaneous debate, yet profusely illus
trated by allusions to all the varied Man of literature
and science, without hieing assured that his intellect,
naturally of a hichorder, had been cultivated, strength
ened, and enlarged by Close and careful study, and en
riched and alorned by an Intimate acquaintance with
the !litigant% of all ages. As an orator he was remarka,
ble for an assured sitlt.possession, which gave him, at alt
times, and under all circumstances, the complete control
of his mental powers. To this he added a command of
the EngPsh language, so full and complete ' as perhaps
to tempt him, sometimes, into a pralnsion of utterance,
too ornate and copious to Batley Um strictest canna of
criticism. Yet who that listened to hint to p.lpular as
semblies : who that listened to his speeches in the Senate;
who that listened to his occasional addresses; especially
to that one uttered on the shores of the Pacific, over
the dead body of his friend, t .e lamented Broderick, the
surpassing eloquence of whin seemed to resound in sad,

The brilliant talents of General Baker; his unsur
passed powers as an orator; his self-poised reliance upon
his own capacities; his courage and his patriotism, would
have been insufficient hi themselves, without the higher
moral qualities which . I think he possessed, to win for
hint that large share of the admiration of his countrymen
which he enjoyed. kfe was, I have reason to believe,
not only a great, but a good man. Its acknowledged his
accountability to his Dinkel., and walked through lift in
the light of that law of God, which irradiates the path of
every man who seeks to know and perform his duty. Of
the peculiar tenets of his religious faith I ant uninform

here, wan that of a Christian atatesman. What glories
surrounded its close a grateful country will not soon for

aims of victory to have been tho end which he would
have chosen; but though that might have added to the
joy with which he welcomed death, nothing in his end

have desired t What nobler epitaph could any of those
patriotic heroes desire, who now, in countless hosts, are
ready to share his fate on the field of battle, than this:

erection detailed statements of the progress of the work
were furnished from time to time, often inaccurate, and
always incomplete. We have, therefore, gone to the
trouble of collecting the following items of intermit; with
reference to the edifice. It covers 41,5:30 feet of ground
fronting on chestnut street, running 235 feet on Ninth to
SaltEoM, and 199 OH t.ansom street. The plumbing and -
gas fitting required seven miles of gas pipe, and eleven
tone of had not solder; involving 4,220 days of labor for
this work Mono. Of hell wire Otero aro twenty miles,
and 300 feet of speaking tubes, leading from various
parts of the building to the general otfice, whore there is
a large Jackson Annunciator. Of iron, 450 tons wero
used. The marble work, in the parlors and chambers, is
finest of the grained Italian marble. There are 25,400
fed of twirl& tiling in the public roams and liana. Of
mimes, 15,000 , were used ; 25 tons of sash weights, and
about one hundred gross of hat and coat pins ; one
thousand window frames, and about the same num
ber of inside rolling blinds. Of bricks, six
millions were used—sufficient to pave twenty eight acres.
Of steam tubing. 55,000 feet were used (over five nod a
half miles) to furnish the quantity of heat required.
There are four fire-plugs on each story, and two on the
roof, with two hundred feet of hese attached to each,
ready for instant application. At the signal of alarm, iu
055' i f fire, the whole building could be flooded with
water in five rninutca The total capacity of the gas
burners is eight thousand feet per hour. The carpet
covers over five acres of floor, being chiefly of Brussels
and velvet. for safety against fire and robbery, day
and night watches are alternately on duty. Every public
part of the building la ronetanily mid Vigilantly- ',Melted,
and policemen are near at hand to guard against any
improprieties. _The main hall is 155 feet in depth, in the
centre of which is tin open vicleinge ) §) feet in wins kY
