ADJUSTMENTS. - Varieties" King Henry " ~
was splendidly put upon the stage last night, be.
fore good audience. 1t was more of a triumph
than the same play ever before achieved on New
Orleans boards, within our remembrance. Bass,
as the fighting and philosophical Falstnf, was
much better than in his late loyelorn Faystaf in
" The Merry Wives"
The tragic trouble and final meeting between
Jordan and Lelfngwell, as Prince Heu7rj aud
H0tspur, brought those gentlemen out in a new
light and proved that other than comic things can
be splenddly done at the Varieties. The play is to
be repeated to hight. Let none miss seeing it,

THE OATH OF ALLEG1ANCE.


The custom of administering the oath Of
allegiance to all persons entering the U. s.
army is not new Thing. II was instituted
by Inspector General Churchill in 1916 and
it happened in this wise -Four Indiana reg
ments had been mustered into service, when
Col Lane took his regiment before magis-
trate and had the oath administered, alleging
that the soldiers would not obey orders with
out such an oath. From that time General
Churchill administered the oath himself In
lsls the secretary Of War Marcy instruct
ed the General to prepare instructions for
mastering volunteers and militia into service,
and therein was incorporated the oath Of al
legance and obedience to the articles of war,
as follows:
All and each Of you do solemnly swear
Tor affirm, as the case may bel that you will
bear true allegiance TO the United States OF
America, and that you will serve them hon
esty and faithfully against all their enemies
or opposers whatsoever and observe and
obey the orders OF the President of the Uni
ted States and the orders of the officers APP
pointed over you according to the Rules and
Articles for the government of the armies OF
the United States so help you God"

June H.
This has been an exciting and sorrowiul
day at Old Point Comfort Gen Butler hav-
ing learned that the rebels were forming an
entrenched camp with strong batteries at
Great Bethel near Hampton, deemed it ne
oessary to dislodge them
About midnight Duryea's Zouaves and
Col. Townsend's Albany regiment crossed the
river at Hampton and took up the line OF
march-the former some two miles in adj
vance of the latter. At the same time Col.
Bendix regiment and detachment of YER
mont and Massachusetts, regiments az New
port News moved forward to form a junction
with the regiments from Fort Monroe at Lit
tie Bethel, about half way between Hampton
and Great Bethel
The Zouavcs passed Little Bethel at about
4 o'clock. Bendix's regiment arrived next,
and took position at the intersection of the
roads; but not understanding the signal, the
German regiment, in the darkness Of the NOR
ming fred upon Col. Townsond's column
then marching in close order, and led by
Lieut.. Butler, the son and aid Of Gen. Butler,
with two pieces Of artillery.
Other accounts say Col. Townshend's rcgi-
ment fired frst at all events, the fire Of the
the Germans was fatal, killing one man and
fatally wounding two others, besides several
others slightly.
The Albany res't, being back of the Ger
mans. discovered from accoutrements left on
the field that the supposed enemy was friend
They had mean time fred nine rounds with
small arms and field piece.
The Iouaves. hearing the fire, had turned
and fred upon the Albany regiment. At day
break Col. Aliens and Col. Cars regiments
moved from the rear Of Fortress Monroe to
support the main body, the mistake at Little
Bethel having been ascertained.
The troops then advanced upon Great
Bethel and endeavorcd to take a large masked
rebel battery. The effort was futile, our
three small pieces of Artillery not being able
to cope with the heavy riAed cannon Of the
enemy, being, according to some accounts
80 in number
The rebel battery was completely masked.

of the guns. There were probably less than
1000 men behind the batteries of the rebels

the position, but Brigader-Gencral Pierce.
who commanded the expedition, appears to
have lost his presence of mind, and the Troy
regiment stood an hour exposed to the gall
ing FIRE. Lieut.. Butler deserves the greatest
credit for bringing off the killed and wound
ed. Several Of the latter are now in the hos
pital here.
There were probably 25 killed and 100
wounded. Great indignation is manifested
against Brig. Gen. Pierce.
Gen. Butler has been ubiquitous. doing all
in his power to save our men and the honor
