FURTHER DETAILS OF THE EDwARDs's FERRY
AFFAIR.
Capt. w. G.. Young, who was with Col
Baker when he fell, was in the funeral pro-
cessioD today with the men Of Capt. Blerals
Company, who helped to carry COL Bakers
body from the field. ALI are NEWCOMERS, as
g their brave Captain, who shot the rebel who
Killed Col Baker. Capt Young states that
the field and staff officers, assisted by privates
from the California Regiment, worked the ar
hllery. All the gunners fed early in the en-
gagement.
An impression is being created that Col.
Baker exceeded his instructions, and did not
retreat. as ordered, when he found the enemy
in Overwhelming strength. Capt. Young says
there was no possible retreat, save by swim
ming the Potomac. The only flatbOat by which
they rot over was sunk. The disaster is attrib-
utablo to the want of transportation. The or
der given by Gen. Stone to Col Baker wac
picked up with his hat. out of which it had
fallen, covered with blood and brains. 1t is in
the city.
