Col. E. .. K

The Cleveland Herald says: In per
son the late Col. Baker was erect and COM
manding. Ills features were regular in
outline, and genial and refined in express
zion; his eye blue and keen his clean
shavcn face rosy with health. The top
Of his head was bald, and his scant
hair considerably gray. His voice was
rather sharp and peculiar, and though not
loud and boisterous in his oratory, few Sem
ators could be so well understood in the
galleries. We clip the following remiuis-
cence of the fallen hero from the Cincin-
natl Commercial:
Thc writer met Colonel Raknr in Jane
last, on a steamer going from Baltimore
to Fortress Monroe. He said he did not
expect to survive the war; that, in his
Judgment, he should never see the shores
of the Pacific again. This was hardly so
much a prescntmcnt on his part as q cal
culation. He said the troops were green,
and it would be necessary for the officers
to expose themselves. He had seen service,
and would feel it a duty to lead his regi-
ment. The enemy had plenty of sharp
shooters, and he presumed they would pick
him of. He said he believed it would be
his fate to die at the head of his regiment
and so he died.
The Philadelphia Press of the 23d says:
We are informed that Mrs. Baker took
the late train from this city, last evening,
to meet the body of her husband at Wash
ingtou, and take measures to secure its
proper iutermcnt. The death of Col. Ba-
ker recalls a curious incident amounting to
a presentment, which happened the day he
be left this city to join his column. Speak
ing to Col. Crossman, c~Ommandant Of the
Arsenal, he said solemnly, My dear friend,
good bye; 1 shall never meet you again"
The issue has verified his speech, and
Baker having performed his duty, gave up
his life.
Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1861-10-30
The Rescuers of Bakers Body.

A thrilling incident occurred at the house
of Col. Webb, just as the remains of Col.
Baker were being removed to the grave
His brother, Surgeon Baker, came forward,
and choking with tears, requested that the
body might be borne out by a number of
young soldiers who had rescued it, at the
peril of their lives, from the hands of the
enemy. When Baker fell it was found
that after he had been pierced in front by
six rifle bullets, the barbarous enemy had
thrust two bayonets into the back Of the
mutilated corpse. The attempt was then
made to carry him off as a trophy, but
these young heroes sprang 70 the rescue of
all that remained to them of their COM
mander. They fought hand to hand with
rebels, face to face in close and deadly en-
counter, until the body was recovered, and
borne off in triumph to the Union camp.
This instance of true courage and chiv-
airy is worthy of immortal honor. 1t was
well that such a guard of braves should be
the last to bear the shrouded remains of
such q man as Baker to his final resting
place. They marched by his side in the
procession, and when the prayer of MI.
Denison vas concluded at the cemetery,
they came forward and gently bore it into
the dark and silent vault. The volleys
followed. the troops formed in platoOns, the
music changed from a funeral to a martial
air, and the Obsequies of this noble mar
tyr to Union and liberty were at an end.
