A. G. CHEM. Br TAM GOVIIIINOR ELI Swift, Secretciry of the Commonutaltk, DEATH OF SWAM. BAKER . . The announcement we make to-,day, under, our telegraphic summary, of- the death of Sen ator Baker, Colonel of the California regiment, which declined I -in the battle near LeesburK Va., Idll:elicit the profnund regret of every loyal-man in the country. A more daring or chivalrous soldier than Col. Baker has not drawn a sword in this contest, nor 'had any man `so blended hi ids character the essential qualities of soldier and statesman, orator and sage. Cel. Baker was a native of England, but was brought to this country by his fether When he was yet a yonth, and for: marry raw: resided in the city of Thiladelphia. He studied law in that city; and then removed west, making the state of hie home ' In 1845 he was: elected to' Congress. finiikedQid.i after, his electiOn, the Mexican war commenced; when he raised a regiment and went out to 'reinforce Gen. 141 iii. lle returned home as alie'arei of deepate, resumed his seat 'in Congrr* which he resigned to join his regiment. He was at the seige 'l3f Vera Cruz, at the battle of Goad - Gordel, and when 'Gen. Shields was diaahlad; Col. Baker, took coanmand of his brigade durbig the ware . - After the war, he was again elected to Congress- from Illinois,' for - the session of 1849-l0 Be left 1111Upis his'Peri e d in the service of the ; Panama, railroad company, and returned again with • his health and fortunes sadly ittipilred. In 1852 he 'settled -fir Califor nia, and San' FianClice, took nhiOi position as a litivieie About one year ago, COl. Baker removed to Oregon, anti immediately after- his arrival" he was elected 'to the 'United States Senate.' - Yeeta4. , . . Y:the life of Col. 13alser was given .to his country§ while rallying a, regiment of • loyal. troops. It was a sad thoughisrilliadt ending of a life isinirentfor and glorious. Tme,Rsasts,m Mumma have the advan tage of . tint' kora:citizens in the fact that when a Union mat leaves Ids 'home to light for the govenimerit, he expeai hissmiceis . 3kin neigbbore to do him all the harm they can. He may ex pect to find , his house and stacks' burnt, his no groes and horses stolen,' and his cattle But the sata3h feels that thewar is being earned on by tbe government upon hunianitarian prin ciples, and that his property is safe. He is not afraid the Union men will burnhim out, confis cate.. nix mimes, slaughter his stock or insult his family. The consequence is, while the Union mien 1 feel 'under obligations to act se Home Odarele; the &OW proceeds to join the annies-of 'their friends., Tao Bowd of fixfperviOrs of •Detroiti gan; hidf fikalniafelt $17;000 foiiihe of voinnfinen4 . ••••1 ~4 Rq Tim Psraxor AND thoox splurges in an article this morning, in which it misrepresents an arti cle in reference to its course which appeared in the Philadelphia Press yesterday. a . In order that our readers may see hovilust the strictures of the Press were in relation to tfie:course of the Patrie4, we giv!e the Words of.: 4 oke Press. That journal observed, that hie Harrisbnrg Patriot and Union, a paper, that eall34hows its hostility alike patriotism h i nd thiktnio,n, is horror-stricken because thehliress, preferring to the West Chester Jefersonian, insisted that that and all organs of treason should be crushed —if not by the 'ettrlit;rthett - lirtliernafttiffr arm of the Federal Government. On the 17th instant, the Patriot and Union said : Here is a delibeate — atfempt to deprive a citi: men of the right of. , t, benefits of a trial by, a, jury of- hispecrs, the y r ioet sa4re&ri thaeat-• taphes to 131101 W. p* utroallt f jealofe3ly, guarded 04141 tr kn and its blessings appreciated.
