Southern sympathizers in Maryland further restricted federal troop movements towards Washignton through Baltimore when they overnight burned sections of the railroad bridges over the Gunpowder and Bush Rivers that carried the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad and the Northern Central Railroad. Troops now had to be moved by water, from Havre de Grace down to Annapolis. (By John Osborne)
