We steamed past Fort
Schuyler, Hurl Gate, New York city, crossed the bay, and landed at Elizabethport,
by ten o'clock A. M. After a delay of several hours at the railroad depot, the
train started off. Much sympathy was displayed by the people of New Brunswick,
Trenton, Easton and other places we passed through. Loud cheering hailed us at
every station; strawberries, pies, &c., were freely handed in the cars.
