The It. and O. Road Through Harford.
Regarding the effort In progress and pre
viously meutioued, to iuduce the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company to locate the
rout« of their Philadelphia extension on the
line oi Churcbville, Harford county, instead
of runuiug so near the Philadelphia, Wil
iniugteu and Baltimore road a* the present
survey iudicata*, a correspondent of the
Belair Æ gis urges upon citizens of the
northern section of Harford county the great
importance to them of inducing the Balti
more and Ohio management to locate their
road through their section. The correspon
dent argues forcibly iu favor of giving the
right of way to the Baltimore aud Ohio, and
glowlugly sets forth the advantages to re
sult from such action. A meeting of citi

next Saturday, the 24th instant, at H p. m.,
and the correspondent pleads energetically
for a large attendance and prompt action.
Good Advice to a Dover Paper.
[Greensboro, (Md.,) Fi _ _;
The Delawarean opposes the expenditure
of money by the State of Delaware'to aid in
the education of colored people. The Dela
warean hold* tenaceously to many old things
which is commendable, but thl* is an age of
progress and no one need foailize for the
sake ol adhering to a principal of doubtful
wisdom even in the day when it more gen
erally obtained. That educated people,
whether white or colored, make the best
citizens is self evident aud it looks reason- •
able, therefore, that we should rather en
deavor to increase the educational advan
tages of the negro than otherwise. We hope
our esteemed friend of the Delawarean does
uot seek to control the State through the
Ignorance of so large a class of its inhabi
tants.

In the summer of 1804 I concluded l had
been at Fori Delaware long enough, and,
thinking I should never be exchanged, I de
termined u> make my escape, if jiosslble. I
had a friend of the same way of tbiiiking
und we procured an oil-cloth aud cut it into
four pieces, of double thickness. We then
got some shoemakers' wax and thread aud
sewed the pieces of oil-cloth together into a
sort of bag. inakiug tbe seams water-tight
with the wax. Leaving an opening in the
upper end we inserted a spool, with an air
tight plug; then fastening a strap to sus
pend the bag upon the neck, lesving it
to hang down on the chest, with
straps at the lower end to tie
arouud the back, the "Ironclad," as we
called It, was complete. When we wished
to till it with air, it was only necessary to
bend the head a little, place the mouth to
the spool and blow and the thtng wsb soon

c.onipiewu, me next tiling was to get to the
river without being detected. Well, as good
luck would have it, the barracks uext to
ours were occupied by the oath-takers,
"galvanized," as we called them, and,
they were considered loyal, they were al
lowed to roam about ou the island until
nearly dark, especially those who worked on
detail. So, by going through the cook room,
there was nothing to prevent a prisoner get
ting oùt on the island aud, once out, to puss
for a detail.
WATTING FOR J»ARKNE»H.
We concluded our best chauce lay in that
direction and, getting everything ready,
waited for our opportunity, which came
the 28d of July, 1804. A detail came into
the yard to clear up the dirt aud trash and
we thought it best to go out with them in
stead ol pasHiug through the cook room.
Putting on our "ironclads" under our shirts
and over all a blue blouse, we helped the
detail to load their cart aud then passed out
with them. After getting outside we walked
slowly towards the fort aud wutching our
opportunity darted under an old carpenter
shop which was raised two or three feet from
the grouud. While waiting there for dark
ness a chicken, chased by a l ttle darkey
and a couple of dogs, took refuge with us,
but was driven out without much trouble,
and we remained undiscovered,
time, however, I thought we were "goue
up." The little darkey came so near that
I could easily have placed my hands ou him
and the dogs were smelling about alarm
ingly close to us.
At
BETWEEN HOPE AND FEAR.
About dark it began raining and blowing
very hard. Between eight aud nine o'clock
•ptdown to the barracks occupied by
a Yankee regiment on duty at tbe islaud.
These barrack* faced Delaware City and
were about 30 or 40 feet from the bauks of
the river. We crawled uuder them aud
took a view oi the bituatiou. It wa* not
very encouragiua just then, for we found
we had to p&s* two sentrieb to get to the
river. We felt that our chance* were rather
slim, but we were playing for a big stake
ftLd were determined to make the venture.
The night being very dark our hope was
that the seutries would take us for their own
aud let iiB pass without scrutinizing us
countersign on
very closely, as there
that part of tbe island. At all event« we
concluded to try it, for it was "sink or
swim" with us then.
So just a« the «entry sang out, "Two
o'clock, and all'« well," we crawled out
from uuder the barracks and started on a
run for tbe bridge leading to the sinks. The
sentry on the bridge took us for members of
his regiment, as we had hoped he wood,and
let us pass, remarking, with a laugh: "You
iellows must be iu ad-big burry." I
thought "yes," but kept my mouth shut.
The sentry on the front did not notice us at
all, and on we weut to the sinks. We found
no one there, aud began operations at ouce,
fearing the sentry might suspect there was
something wrong if we did uot return in a
short time. We got into the water and in
flated our "irouclftds" iu 6 hort order, and
fastening them securely put out from the
shore. We fouud the tide running out, but
knew that at 12 o'clock it would turn.
THE ESCAPE.
When we were about 200 feet from the
bank a large reflector, which was raised
platform near the prisoners' barracks, was
turned directly ou us, but I suppose the
sentry thought it was not necessary to look
very closely iu that direction, so he turned
it toward the barracks again. After that
were safe from hi* observation. The
given and uo suspi
had
reason no alarm
clou aroused was that the «entries
pas 6 e«l were relieved very soon after
and, thinking we belonged to their regi
ment, they said nothing about u* to those
who relieved them. When we were about
hall-way across the river it was slack water
and we swam directly for the shore, but be
fore we reached it the tide was coining iu
rapidly aud we lauded near the entrance of
the Chesapeake and Delaware canal. After
getting out of the water we waited half
hour and then struck out below the town
called Delaware City and, after going some
three miles, we stopped in a patch of woods.
VVe were iu the water about two hours aud
half.
In the morning we resumed our journey
and soon came upou a little dairy iu tbe side
of a hill and about 100 yard* from a farm
house. The dairy was built of logs,and as the
door was locked and we were rather hungry
we concluded to turn burglars. With the
aid of a fence rail we forced an entrance
aud fouud some pies and plenty of milk,
cream and butter. Helping ourselves liber
ally we again resumed our march.
Here the manuscript ends, but it is only
necessary to add that the escape was a suc
cessful one, aud the adventuresome priso
ners, after some further service iu the Con
federate ranks, surrendered with Lee's
army and returned to their homes iu
Louisiana.
