HISTORIC EVENT
IS RECALLED

To-day. At years ago. the Delaware
Canal saved the National CAPITOL. The
important part played by the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal came as the culmi-
nation of a series of events that began
when Virginia seeded on April H. On
April Is Harpers Ferry was seized by
the Confederate forces; on April 10 came
the riot in Baltimore. when the sixth
Massachusetts, Regiment was attacked;
and on the same day every bridge on the
r.. w. and B. Railroad from Baltimore
to the Susquehanna river was destroyed:
on April 20, the bridges on the Northern
Pennsylvania Railroad were burned to
prevent the passage OF troops TO WASH
ington; anc on the same day the govern
ment seized every available steamboat on
The Delaware river and vicinity. and tn ~
were sent through the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal and thence TO Perry
vile, ana on April q. these boats left
Perryviile with troops that had been ssrt
there and took them to Annapolis, whence
they hastened to the National Capito.
Thus, it was found thar the old canal
was Of incalculable value to the govern
ment and perhaps the history Of the
country was materially changed by the
use of the boats.
