DRAMATIc.-The Union Theater was
opened on Monday evening, by the Bar
ton Dramatic Association, composed of
enlisted men in the 4Sth n Y. regiment.
The initial performance, all things con-
sidered, was great success. The Asso-
citation have incurred much expense, and
haye been most indefatigable in their
labors, to fit up convenient and commo-
dious theater building; and We are happy
to state that their first entertainment was
patronized by alarge, remunerative and
appreciative audience. The building it
self is wonder, with its large auditori-
um, elegant boxes, capacious stage, beau
tiful proscenium, varied scenery and ex-
tensive properties. Mr.. c. L. Harrison,
Scenic Artist and Costumer, and Mr.. A.
]. De Haven, Property Man, deserve
much credit for energy and skill in their
departments. ALI the arrangements are
admirable, from the yentilating contriv-
ances to the touches on the scenic canvas
which heighten the effect of any theatri-
rical representation. 1t would be unfair
to criticise the evenings performance,
with first-class theatricals in large cities
as standard, but we can say with truth
that We have seen professional actors do
far worse with much better facilities, and
never saw mere amateurs, under such
unfavorablc circumstances, do SO well.
Much of the success is doubtless due to
the experience of Mr.. James White, the
Stage Manager, who has the advantage
of familiarity with the profession, and
manages the stage business exceedingly
well. The performance on Monday night
was introduced by an impromptu but ap-
The palmetto herald. [volume] (Port Royal, S.C.) 1864-1864, 1864-03-17

Mr. White, who welcomed the audience,
promised the company's best efforts to
entertain, returned thanks to several off
GERS, prominent in their aid to the enter
prise, and detailed some of the circum-
stances of the undertaking, in style not
at all stacy, nor embarrassed, nor affected.
AFTER Gen. Gillmores Grand March, by
an efficient orchestra, under the direction
of Mr.. Henry Murphy, Robert Macaire
and The Spectre Bridegr oom were pro-
duced in satisfactory manner, with a
good cast, with an amusing song, and a
splendid tableau, most creditable to the
Scenic Artist and Property Man. Gen.
Vogdes, Gen. Terry and Gen. Foster
were present, and headquarters was rep
resented by the most of Cen. Gillmore's
staff. The performance announced for last
evening was postponed till tonight.
The bills for Friday, Saturday and Mon
day evenings are published in our adver-
tising columns.

SERENADEs.-The Post Band, under
the leadership of Mr.. Murphy, paid Gen.
Terry the honor of a serenade at the
Port Royal House on Thursday evening.
1t was the most fitting compliment the
band could offer the General, to whom it
IS indebted for its existence, and for such
tutelage, duringats single years practice,
as has made it one of the finest musical
organizations in the army. Col. Howell
and Lt.-Col. Fuller were also the recipi-
ents of similar honors.

ACCIDENT At THE ORDNANCE YARD
While party Of workmen were engaged
in Withdrawing the powder from a l2-lb.
spherical case shot, at the Ordnance
Yard, last Thursday, the shell exploded,
and three men were injured. Their
names were as follows: j. H. Martus,
ordnance sergeant, U. S. Army, severely
wounded in left hand and leg; Robert
Williamson, lately of Hamilton's Battery,
seriously in left arm and side; and Con.
Daily, laborer, slightly wounded. Two
or three others were knocked over, but
were not much hurt. That no one amid
the crowd of workmen and bystanders
was killed, may be considered wonderful

to the occasion, The sword, which was
furnished by Tiffany, & Co., New York
is very rich and costly, the hilt and

heavy and richly carved silver, and the
sword knot and tassel of fine gold lace
and bullion.

EXTENSION OF THE TIME FOR
PAYMENT OF BOUNTIES.

General Gilmore has received the fol-
lowing Circular Telegram from the War
Department and has published it for the
benefit of the troops in this Department: !:
Commanding General, Department of the
South, Hilton Head, S. c.: Congress has extend
ed time for payment of the bounties, heretofore
authorized, to first of April next.
"Re-enlisted Veterans will receive them &C.
cordingly, to that date T. NJ VINCENT, A. A.G."
The palmetto herald. [volume] (Port Royal, S.C.) 1864-1864, 1864-03-17

successfully launched on Thursday, one
week ago to-day.
The "two hundred and forty sixth
day of the siege" is chronicled as the
quietest that the city has known for a
long time. Not shell was thrown at
the town, and not gun was fred at any
of the hostile batteries which bristle
around the entrance of the harbor.
VARIOUS ITEMS.
The Richmond papers of March 10th
announce the presence ola Yankee gun
boat and two transports, on York River,
near West Point, and state that the object
of their visit has not yet been ascertained.
The Fayetteville Observer says that
seven Yankee deserters, sent to work on
the mines near that place, re-deserted on
the night OF their arrival, and that five of
them have been recaptured.
The Richmond Sentinel alludes to Col.
Dahlgren as having "lately died the
Death of a soldier, with the disgrace of a
felon."
The same paper denounces the negli-
!gence which allowed the capture at
Smithville, near the mouth of Cape Fear
river, of Capt. Kelley, Chief of Engineers
to Gen. Hebert, by a boat load Of Yam
KEGS, who slipped up past the forts.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF THE
OUTER DEFENCES OF MOBILE.

Eight deserters arrived at Folly Island,
last Saturday, and reported that Admiral
Farragut had captured Fort Powell, be-
low Mobile, with garrison of over one
thousand men. At last accounts from
Northern sources, Farragut was attack
ing that work, with good prospect of
capturing it, and the expectation of soon
reducing several forts above it.

EXPEDITION TO Bulls BAY.-A small
force from Gen. Terys command sailed
from Stono Inlet a week age yesterday,
for the purpose of making a reconnois-
sance of Bulls Bay. This harbor was
the destination originally chosen for the
Dupont-Sherman expedition, and is about
twenty-five miles north of Charleston.
The expedition of last week, comprising
Il dozen vessels, from both branches Of
the service, entered the Bay and landed
without opposition from the few pickets
in that vicinity. After remaining for
twenty-four hours, sending out several
accommodating parties, and accomplishing
the object of their mission, the force re-
turned.

Where Hamiltons Battery was formerly

LATEST NORTHERN NEWS.
Our New York and New England let
tiers arrived too late for publication in

full. We c0HdeHse the important news. -
Kilpatrick's raid was successful in all
respects except so far as the possible cap
ture of Richmond may have been antici-
pated. His columns penetrated to with
in two and one-half miles of Richmond,
when, the enemy having made formid-
able preparations for defence, they with
drew with small loss. Great quantities
of military stores were destroyed, with
bridges, telegraph wires, sc. Col. Dahl
gren, son of the Admiral, and who lost
leg at Gettysburgh, led detached col
umn, and in some severe fighting in King
and Queen county was killed. A por-
ton of his command was captured. His
body, according to rebel admissions, was
treated with great ind;gnity, the fingers
were cut off for the sake of the rings, and
after being dragged and kicked about
naked, it was buried without shroud or
coffin.

Gen. Sherman's Expedition was very

CoNMoDoRE RowAN.-The promotion
and confirmation by the Senate of the
gallant Captain Rowan, of the New Iron
sides, to the rank Of Commodore, is only
tardy recognition of his distinguished
services as an officer in our Navy. Since
the beginning of this war he has doubly
earned the honor, to which his previous
years of service alone entitled him. Upon
the Potomac, when that river was vigi-
lantly blocksded by the enemy-at Roam
oke Island, where his dash and energy
won all the reputation which CapeS11
Stringham gained-and especially before
Charleston, where he now commands, he
has always borne the part of true patriot,
a brave officer and Christian gentleman.
May he long remain at the head Of the
South Atlantic Squadron!
