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.

Arrived at
Harrisburg early in the morning. Coffee, bread and pies were given to us by
inhabitants of that place. After a short halt, we resumed our journey, crossed
the Susquehanna river, passed Little York, and arrived at Baltimore by eight
o'clock in the evening. Our battery was immediately loaded on flats, drawn by
horses to the top of the hill, the horses unhitched then, and the cars rolled
down the other side to the Washington depot. Order was given not to accept any
refreshments from the citizens. No demonstration was made, the throwing of a few
bricks on the cars, in the neighborhood of the depot, excepted. Started for
Washington by ten o'clock.
