SENATOR BAKER.
J. W. ROBINSON,
Secretary of State.

In recent bloody skirmish on the Potomac
near Leesburg Col Baker. Senator from Ore
gon. was shot dead whilst gallanily rallying
his men in resistance. as usual. to an over
whemiag number of the enemies.
Col Baker was. we believe, a native Of Ire
land. Previous to the Mexican war he repre-
sented the Springfield Illinois district in Con
gress He served through the war under Gen.
Taylor with distinguished honor For some
years he has resided on the Pacific coast. On
the coming into power Of the Republican party
in Oregon, in 1859. he was elected to repre-
sent that State in the U. s Senate. He was a
member of that body at the last regular ses-
sion. and also at the late extra session. and was
universally conceded to be among the most
able and eloquent of the body. His loss will
be felt by the en'ire country. HIS body was
laid in the Congressional cemetery al Wash
ing,on. (the President and heads of Departs
ment attended the funersl,) but has since been
removed to Oregon.

Accident on the Hannibal and ST Joseph Railroad

Accident on the Hannibal and ST Joseph Railroad
The Rebels have been let loose again in
Northern Missouri. The train On the
Hannibal aud St. Joseph Railroad was
thrown off the track on the 18th near
Monroe, and the telegraph wires cut by the
scoundrels. Fortunately not one was badly
injured by the accident 20 the train.
The accident occurred ten miles this side
of Palmyra, on high emhankment. and
was caused by the ties having been forced
off close to the rails for a distance of twenty
feet. The train consisted of six freighr
and two passenger cars. The freight cars
were loaaed with military goods for the
Fort, and were mashed all to pieces. The
position Of the freight cars being mex, tc
the locomotive, saved the passenger cars,
and no one was hurt severely.
The passengers were detained a. the place
of tue disaster seven hours, and notwith
standing there are quite number of house.
in the neighborhood, nj one came to their
assistance except one Irishman. Horsemen
could be seen in the distance, who would
occasionally ride up on the hills, take q
look, and then disappear.

sary to remain in the district OF Beaufort
they are sure Of fne quarters. 1t IS the
most fertile part of the State, and abounds
in the necessaaries of Subsistence. The pro
liability is that they will capture no incon-
siderable amnun, of valuable commodities.
They will probably find few thousand
bales of the finest Sea Island cotton, which,
at the present price Of that staple, would
prove most valuable prize
"The annual value If the crops raised in
this district is 100000 very large
proportion of which must now be accumu-
lated there. If the property owners should
prove persistent in their disloyalty, the
gains of the Government by coniscation
must be considerable.
"The possession of this harbor will
enable the North to open a new cotton
port, where the experiment may be tried as
TO how far the cotton planters would avail
themselves of an opportunity OF selling
their crops"
OF the Importance and magnitude of this
victory the New York Herald remarks:
Starting from this point, accordingly, We
have here the actual commencement Of the
war against this rebellion, and in the heart
of the enemy's country. A great and de-
cisive battle on the banks of the Potomac
ceases now to be necessity on the part of
our Government. Having made an im-
portant lodgment in South Caralina, We can
permit the great rebel army around Manas-
sas to remain there ali winter. Washing
ton, meantime, being at length so amply
fortified that it may be safely defended by
Fifty thou, and men against any possible
attack, We can spare hundred thousand
from the Potomac for more enlarged aud
decisive inland operations in South Caro-
lima and Georgia. Thus. the larger the
force retained by the rebels at Manassas
the more readily shall we reach the vials
