Col. BAKER.-The Cincinnati Commercial,
speaking of the death Of Col. Baker. says:
"The writer met Col. Baker in June last,
on a steamer going from Baltimore TO For
tress Monroe. He said he did not expect to
survive the war that, in his judgment, he
never should see the shores of the Pacific
again. This was hardly 50 much 4 presen-
timent on his part as a calculation. He
said the troops were green, and it would be
necessary for the officers to expose them
selves. He had seen service, and would feel
it duty to lead his regiment. The enemy
had plenty of sharpshOoters, and he pre-
sumed they would pick him off. He said he
believed it would be his fate TO die at the
head of his regiment-and so he died.
1t may illustrate the temper and character
of the man to mention that, after saying
with as perfect calmness as he could have
named the most trivial circumstance, that be
believed it would be his fate to fall in battle,
and that he should never see his home on
the Pacific again, he retired from the
guards, where he had been engaged in con-
versation, to the cabin, and seated himself
at the piano, played with grace and skill
remarkable for a gentleman amateur on
that instrument, several touching ais
among them the favorite of the English Sol.
