A Fl'Ll ACCOUXT OF THE BATTLE NEAR EDWARD'S FERRY. DEATH OF SENATOR BAKER. A special dispatch of the 23d inst., to the New York Tribune, gites the followin" account of the battle of Edward's Ferrj, which is the most complete and connected that has yet reached us: "A gentleman attarhed to Col. Baker Brigade, who witnessed a part of the engagement, furnishes the following particulars! Tw.t battalüons, 1,000 men of the California, the Tammany and Massachusetts 15th Regiments, crossed on Monday morning at Conrad's Ferry and landed. Pickets were thrown out and a large force cf rebels discovered. Abont 3 o'clock j Baxter's, Owen's and Morehead's regiraents, of Baker's Brigade, airived at the Ferry, but failed to cross, the only two scows used in the morninjr having been sunk, one in the morning while t king a cannon across, and the other in returning af:er the first repulse, with about a hundred men, who jumped onboard in the wildest confusion, many of whom were drowned. Col. Daker was killed when making the first charge after successfully rallying his men. No cannon was used by the enemy in engagement, and the Union force got but oce across. There were seven in position on this side, two at Com ad's Ferry, and fire at Edward's Ferry, about six miles apart. At the latter, two fcows and a carial boat were used to convey troops across all day. A considerable number had assembled on the Virginia side of this ferry when ! the battle commenced, but it was not considered safe to re-enforce Col. Baker from that point. It took each scow, with fiftv men, over an hour to make the trip ; . that much time f was lo9t; owing to tho limited means of transit. Col. Devins of the Massachusetts Regiment escaped to this side by swimming the river, and many of the troops followed his example. Several were drowned in the attempt, the river being fifteen feet dep.

Orders were then Bent from Gen. Stone to the battallion, to stand fast until they should hear heavy firing in front, and then to cross. About an hour afterward, muketry having been heard previously, dead and wounded began to bo brought over to where we were. At 10 o'clock the number of killed and wounded brought in was increased. Gen. Stone ordered Col. Baker to take command of the forces on both aides of the river at that place, and to bring up his brigade and the Tammany regiment, commanded by Col. Coggswell. which was in camp about three miles distant, and tc cross immediately. Capt. Young carried the orders to the Tammany Regiment, and the whole force proceeded about a mile down river, ready to cross. We found two scows, each of which could carry from forty to fifty men, and managed to get from the canal a dugout, which would take seventy more. Six companies of the first battallion of the California Regiment, three piece of i artillery, with men and homes, belonging j to the lammany lgiment, with Col. Baker, Col. Coggswell, Lieut. Cel. Wistar, Assist. Adj. Gen. Harvey, and Captain Young, got to the island, whero we were joined by a battery of tho Second Rhode Inland Artillery with two howitzers. The passage to the island was very difficult, with our insufficient means of transportation, the distance being quarter of a mile and the current swift. We poled ourselv. es up the eastern shore a long distance, thence were drifted down to the landing, irom Hie iiand to the irginia shore, cur only means of transportation was one scow and a metalic bout of little or no servic. We landed under a steep bank, 100 feet high, covered with rocks and junle. Scrambling up the bank, we found an open field of six acres, with thick woods oil three sides, out of which came a constant, irregular firing from the enemy. Here were Col. Devins' 15th Massachusetts Regiment on th right in line at the edge of the woods, having been driven in after proceeding a mile and a half to ward Leesbtirg. We formed on th left, and presently advanced two companies of fekirmisliers to the woods in front. The concea.eü enemy drove them back with a a havy. .elling volley, and fol!ow,d the regular with an irregular firing. Our men fell on their bellies on the brow f the hill. ners were not to be found. Capt. Stewart, of Gen. Stone staff . ene-Icamo nib a message to Col. I'aker to hold his ground, as Gen. Gorman with 5,000 men, was marchini; from Kdwards Ferry to re-enforce him. One company was advanced to the loft, the direction from which Gen. Gorman was expected. They wre met by a yell and a volley as before, and fell back to th line. The hidden enemv now appeared to bo in force on three sides of us, which with the river at their back, disheartened the men. The line officers of the Massachusetts Regiment ordered their companies to retrrat. and tho en'my coining out of the woods for the first time in Night, general confusion ensued. The men, rHnning to the waters edge and Unding no boats, rallied, ran up th hill, tu! ditu-h.irg-! two ; drowned, among them many of the wound eI. Soon after Captain Stewart s appearance, Col.

Capt. Young bore the body from thj fld. Three hundred and twenty of the first battallion, the only one in the engagement of Maker s regiment, were misting at 1(1 this morning; of two companies of the Tammany regiment engaged there were 100 missing ; of 000 of the Massachusetts regiment at least half were missing yes. terday. There were about 1,700 in all engaged. (Jen. Hanks cro9?td at Edwards Ferry at 5 o clock yesterday, and joined .0,000 men of his command already on the other side. There was fighting nt that hour, with cavalry, infantry and artillery engaged. Tho firing hadceased at C o clock, with no result.

ram. suae Colour. Cicury'K Skirmish The Itcbt'I Hlocluulc or the lof omac !Vlnoii and MhlellN Successful Kcu pc Au I ii er cI ii I o ii h A 1 in i u i st ration. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, (one of its editors, ) in a late letter thus alludes to the state of affairs in that city. If a Democratic paper had criticized the Administration in the same spirit & language it would have been denounced not only, but probably mobbed. Wo give the extracts as an illustration of "free speech" on the part of the Republican press : Thn late successful skirmish near Harper's Ferry, in which Col. Geary, of Kansas governorship fame, won some appearaiitly deserved laurels, caused much rejoicing here, since military successes have I become of late rare events. Very true, the importance of the affair was much overrated, as usual wiih the first reports. But it is refreshing to see th profound quiescence which reigns in military quarters, broken by even a small sign of "life. Possihly the gre; t gathering of troops at and tear Annapolis, may yet mean something, though it is getting near time they were at it. Perhaps it may make no difference now, however, about the delay, since their expedition has been bruited to the remo test parts f Dixiedom, in the two or three! weeks which it has taken to net them so far as Annapolis. Oh for an hour of Napolean !" ia tho cry that meets one's ear in more than ono cirolo in Washing ton. The inactivity which prevail on land would not appear ko annoying, were ft accompanied by a really vigorous prosecution of ihn war on the water. Our naval expeditionssave Cape Ilatleras have thus far confined the theater of their triumph chiefly to the newspapers, whoso gifts of prophecy have been largely drawn upon to create the victories which tho Navy Deparlmeut has failed to realize. Kren ilie capture of fort Hatteras was followed by a reverse which went near to costiii" us a , . . . regiment, placed by omo incredible folly in llio l'flrir iiwo nf Ans rn ,.f t. Truly, it does seem passing sträng) that these rebels, who started with less than dozen small vessels, all of which were stolen. elmuM now. if. In tl.nt. in m yths' time, bo absolutely snatching the fruits of victory from our "navy of a hundrod and fifty sail, without firing a gun, while at tho same time they have ci. (Dated tho Potomac with heavy haltet i?s, from A'iuia Creek to Alexandria, and our commercial vessels and armed steamers have to run tho ganntlet of a bundled rilled can - non. Kvery evening's Washington Star contains a half column or less of reports, setting forth how bravely this or that merchant vessel "run tho blockade" of the Potomac, and got eafe through to her Washington consignees, in spite of the rebel batteries whi h lin? the Potomac. Is there no w.iy of cl-aning out these land nirates. and raisins thU r.Tiol hl..,. I-.:!.. 9 What is an army of from l.r),000 to 200,(100 men good for opposite Washington, when its communications by waterare nearly cut off. and rebel newspapers boast that I heir batteries are so placed that they can now close tho Potomac at pleasure ? What is Mi. Secretary Weil about to be reading every day how his little canoes of war vessels ar9 driven back to tho Navy Yard at Washin rrtou hy lh run of tho would seem to be the most incredulous Administration vet heard of in tho tide ol time! It "never believed" that South Carolina would fire upon Major Anderson, that Ileauregard could ever canturo Fort WARD III. Sumter, that Virginia or lennessee would i . .,o,..lik il.nt 1.. ..t...ll! .1 I 1 - jTw. .cn Wo1(, ,;,kc over iliree month' time or 7.0,000 raw militia to nut it down that Kentucky would become the t-eat of war. that II-st Tennessee would bo throttled by the rebels, that McDowell's army could he beaten at Manassas, that the j rebels could ever get another pound of fo d or grain of powder when their ports were "hermetically scaled" by the block ado. It "never believed" that this deluge of treason which has devastated tho land would le inuelt of a shower. It " never b-lieved' that the lebeU wen really in earnest in this war or that anything moro was necessary to make loyal citizens out of traitors than to swear them and let them go. It 'never believed' that desperate diseases require severe remedies, nor that confiscation of slavo property was a measure necessary in time of war with a sl.ivohohling enemy. It does not now believe, if wo credit the flemi-officisl talk of the Capitol, that the two rebel plenipotentiaries are flatintino; tho Confederate flv ttiumphantly in tho eyes of Eurnpe, while, to satisfy public opinio'i, it sends off, five day after date, in hot pursuit, a sinalj licet of vessels; which might bo bettor oc-

cupied in tightening the blockade at home. It does not thoroughly believe that we are at war with an intestine foo, full of the venom of haie, and the resources of desperation, and well armed, and thoroughly informed, with friends and allies at home and abroad, and prepared and resolved to fight to the last. Amid all this obstinate incredibility, the only circumstance.-) which appear to have interrupted its entire consistency of unbe-

lief i the single apprehension of the safety of the Capitol. However blind, however credulous, the Administration may have been to all other dangers, it can not be denied that it ha3 uniformlv manifested a livelier belief in the insecurity of Washington. At length, however, this apprehension has givn way; in tl e presence ot sore quarter of a million of Union bayo nets. There are some signs, moreover, of an interest beginning to be felt in the fortunes and tho fate of other portions of the country. Let us hope that some attention will be bestowed upon the rebels who are not now menacing Washington, and snce they have prudently determined not to show fight in this quarter, let not their gage of battle be declined when and where thrown down. The B'nion Army. Tho Geneials of the Union army along the whole line, from tho Atlantic to the Far West, have now at their control as magnificent a force, perhaps, as ever were put under the command of any number of generals.

NUMBER 41 WHOLE No. 03.

The whole of the land in the neighborhood of Conception JJay, Newfoundland, s gradually raising, and Beveral of the hnrbors on the coast, at no very distaat day will become unnavigable. The experiment of cultivating the 'weed has been commenced on the Mokelumr.c river, California. It has grown splendidly and competent judges pronounce it superior to the tobacco crwri 11 Virginia, Kentucky or Missouri. To the C itizen or l!ic Otii Coiigrcfrionul OKtrict. I have beer autlrorized to rais.' a Reimont to rendezvous at ((sher. for the sc: vice of the Uui'cd States during the war. I appeal to you as frien ls of the Union and our common country to anl ne in the undertaking. Most especially I call ufKm the youn men of this district to remember how and by whom the liberties of this creat nation were won and its government established; and I invoke them by the memories of he past to rally round her Ma? and the Flag of their Fathers in this; the day of her tribulation and distress. They should regird it a a jrloriou privilegeit is a high and ioIemn duty which true allegiance will do well to heed. Fifty ears ago KentucVv at Tippecanoe saved the inf. nt Territory of Indiana from the niercileS tomahawk of the savage ; and the loncs of her -ns now rejose upon that bloody field. Our State since then'has grown prosperous and great , and Kentucky is now invaded hy ait organized rmy of rebels and parricides, retnor less and cruel as t'ocir prototypes ofllm wilderness. She asks Iridiaua to come to her rescue the debt is one of honor and must be paid. The soil you tread was won by her rowess and valor ; can you do less than protect her ? Let the answer be worthy of your lineage and of your cuuntrv. "NORMAN F.DDY. N B. No eompanit s of volunteers will be received from the Tenth Congressional Distr ct until notice to that effect. N.
