While the telegraph wires running out of Baltimore were severed, travel
was also much interrupted. The mails for Philadelphia and the North
generally were sent by steamers for a day or two, and passengers from Philadelphia came as far as Havre-de-Grace by rail and thence by steamboat to
Baltimore. A few days afterward trains ran as far as the Gunpowder River,
where the passengers and baggage were conveyed across on flat-boats, and
thence by rail to Baltimore. General Ord issued orders that passes to leave
the city should not be issued to any except those living outside of it who could
prove their " loyalty." By the 20th of July, however, the embargo which had
been laid upon nearly every species of business was removed by order of the
authorities, and business returned to its usual channels. On the 14th, the
following orders were issued :
