The country will be profoundly affected BY
acknowledgement that the Hon. f. ID. Baker.
senator from Oregon, colonel OF the California
regiment recruited in this city, and command.
er of a brigade recently made Of Philadelphia
regiment, was killed in battle, yesterday, near
Leesburg, Virginia, while calamity leading his
men into the fight. A more noble and patri-
otlc statesman and soldier did not live, and it
is sad, sad task t. chronicle his untimely
death
Senator Bakers life has been almost a 70
nance. He is an old Philadelphia and of
Quaker lineage. His ance stors were English
Friends. Col. Baker himself was born in
England, but was brought 10 Philadelphia
when an infant, where he, with a younger
brother, were left orphans soon after their ar.
rival.
This calamity left them no resource but to
work their way through the world with their
own hands. For while young Baker the
present senator, worked as haud-loom weaver
in a small manufacturing establishment near
Thirteenth aud South streets, where the loom
upon which he labored is still standing. Ii i.

Before he reached manhood he paid some
attention to the study of the law, and left
Philadelphia for the great west. His purse
being light, he and his young brother crdssed
the Alleghanies, and went through Ohio and
Indiana, all the way OH foot, until they reached
the Wabash river, which they descended in a
