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.

But the sata3h feels that thewar is being earned
on by tbe government upon hunianitarian prin

afraid the Union men will burnhim out, confis

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:

NoW facts have come to light, and I believe
that Gen. McfJlellan is 'opposeti to' an' inunedi

with Min, except upqn a single .point, Scott

it Will be:impossible to,advance an army over
