R@g~ The following is speech delivered
by Hon. JAMES T. HALE. in the Senate
of the United States, relative to the sur
render of Slidell and Mason:
[ learn from the public press, and we
hear frou those who are supposed to stand
in more confidential relations with this
Administration than [ do, (the reason
why do not stand in more confidential
relations with the Administration cannot,
| am sure, be laid at my door. have
been as willing to be in confidential rela-

conhde in somebody else, laughter, and
I am sure, sir, do not complaln,l ire
newed laughter that subject is engag-
ing the attention of the Administra-
ton which demands the attention of
every member of this body. I believe
that the Cabinet to-day and yesterday and
for some days past, have had under con-
sideration a measure which involves more
of good or evil to this country than any,
thing that has ever occurred before-I
mean the surrender, on the demand of
Great Britain, of the persons of Messrs.
Slidell and Mason. To my mind, more
fatal act could not mark the history of
this country-an act that would surren-
der at once to the arbitrary demand Of
Great Britain all that was won in the
Revolution, reduce us to the position of
a second rate power, and make US the vas
sal of Great Britain. I would go as far
as any reasonable man would go for peace,
but no further would not be unwil-
ling to submit this subject to the arbitra-
ton of any of the great powers of Europe; !;
but [ would not submit to the arbitrary,
the absolute demand of great Britain, to
surrender these men, and humble our flag
even to escape from war with Great
Britain. No man would make more hon.

Incident OF Col. Bakers Life.
BY WESLEY BRADSHAW.

The following romantic and touching
story of the noble Bakers history, we OBJ
Ialned day or two since, by accident:
When Col Bakers California Regi-
ment arrived first in Philadelphia, from
Their camp in New York it was halted,
after short street parade, in front of the
Continental Hotel Arms were stacked,
aud the hot and wearied heroes allowed
several hours to rest, as the day was in
tsnsely oppressive. 1t is a well known
Tact, that the California Regiment was
composed, with but few exceptions, of
fmiadelphians number of whom the
author was well acquainted with. Seeing
50 many familiar faces l asked if there
we're any Californians at all in the rsgi-
nent, and, in answer, was introduced to
line, manly looking fellow who was
pushing his way past at the moment.
with him | had long and very pleasant
conversation, during which learned that
nls father had known Col. Baker when a
poor, fnendless young man, and had it in
Ills power to do him some acts of kind,
ness, for which the grateful hero had sub.
sequantly amply repaid him. The son
whose name is Stees, or Stetson, or some
'Ding like that, happening to be in Phil
s0eiphia, and almost adoring Baker, was
among the foremost to join his fathers
oenetactor when the latter announced his
'u''ntion Of taking the field. Upon the

The Stars and Stripes.

"Sir, J must detaln you no longer. |
have said enough, and more than enough
to manifest the spirit IN which this flag
is now committed to your charge. 1t is
the national ensign, pure and simple
dearer to all our hearts at this moment,
as we lift 1t to the gale, and SEQ no other
sign OF hope upon the storm cloud, which
rolls and rattles above it, save that which
is reflected from its own radiant hues
dearer, thousand fold dearer to US all
than it ever was before, while gilded by
the sunshine of prosperity, and playing
with the zephyrs of peace. 1t will speak
for itself far more eloquently than speak
for it, Behold it. Listen to it Every
star has a tongue; every stripe is articu-
late. There Is no language or speech
where their voices are not heard There
is magic in the web Of it. 1t has an an
swer tor every question of duty. 1t has
a solution for every doubt and every per-
plexity. 1t has word of good cheer for
every hour OF gloom and dependency.
"Behold it. Listen to it! 1t speaks
of earlier and later struggles. 1t speaks
of victories and sometimes Of reyerses, on
the sea and on the land 1t speaks of
patriots and heroes among the living
among the dead and OF him, the first
and greatest among them all, around
whose consecrated ashes this unnatural
and abhorrent strife has SO long been
raging-the abomination of desolation
standing where 1t ought not. But be-
fore all and above all other associations
and memories-whether of glorious men,
or glorious deeds, or glorious places-its
voice is ever Of union and liberty, OF the
Constitution and the laws.
"Behold it! Listen to it Let it tell
the story OF its birth to those gallant
volunteers as they march beneath its
folds by day or repose beneath its senti-
mel stars by night. Let it recall to them
the strange eyentiul history of It's rise and
progress let it rehearse to them the won
drous tale Of its trials and its triumphs,
In peace as we'll as in war and whatever
else may happen to it or them, it will
never be surrendered to rebels; never be
ignomlnlousl y struck to treason, nor never
be prostltuted to any unworthy and un
christian purpose of revenge, depreciation
or rapine.
