periences:
When l entered (missing, am sorry to say,
the "yows of Vengeance, ct cetera," down
to the end Of the first line) found General
Butler, striking porsonihoation of the orig
inal being tall and thin, with long, raven
black hair, a heavy nioustache, q villainously
aqualine nose and whiskers, and attired in a
dark blue uniform, loose red breeches and
fatigue cap-being taunted by Capt. Jeptha
Silver Similarly costumed). 1t appeared
that Captain Silver possessed some fearful
knowledge Of General Buffers past misdoings
whether In connection with orse-stealing,
forgery, or infanticidc, was not stated which
knowledge he, Silver, was using to coerce
the tSrant Of New Orleans into connivance
with his own libertine designs upon the Con-
federate Daughter.
Obtaining promise to that effect he ex.
ultcd fiendishly, when enter Captain Travers,
captured Confederate and lover of the lady
in question. TalR-Travers dismissed to
prison amid lofty defamation. Enter Con-
feds daughter TO be made love to, severally
and summarily by General Butler and Capt
Silver, both Of whom she scor runs at the
top of her voice. Bxeunt Federals and enter
faithful negro, dressed after the 1Ouisianian
fashion, in white knee e-breeches and Turkish
shoes. He cOntrives to effect the escape of
Travers by means Of a boat on the river
which las everybody knows) ran beneath the
windows of the guardshouss in New Orleans,
where Gen. Butler incarcerated the victims
Of his tyranny. Tableaux.
Next act Enter comic Irishman in tradi-
tiOnal costume, rocky scenery and immense
mountain in the ckground-Louisiana to
the life. To him two Federals looking after
Travers. As tho Irishman insults, knocks
them about and i'll uses them, they are nat.
arally seized with desire to enlist him. and
do so, endowing him, for that purpose, with
uniform resembling Gen. Buffers. This
he accepts with covert purposes steals their
ammunition, and ultimately saves Capt. Ira
vers from ro.arrest, after sundry broadsword
combats, in which the Confed's daughter,
Federals, and comic Irishman are all mixed
up together. Then the Irishman (still in
Federal uniform) encounters Gen. Butler
and deceives him into giving him purse Of
gold and pass through the lines
Meanwhile, Federal soldier has offered to
lead the COnfeds into the Federal stronghold,
which resembles the Bastie and has a dis
tant view of the cataracts Of the lower Mis-
sssippi. Tableaux: Spiking Of guns more

COnfederates disappear, and Capt. Travers is
led to execution-when there arrives q cour-
