Manager Lincoln.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I regret to say that the Tragedy, en-
titled The Army of the Potomac, has been withdrawn on account of Quarrels among the leading
Performers, and I have substituted three new and striking Farces or Burlesques, one, entitled
The Repulse at Vicksburg, by the well-known, popular favorite, E. M. Sytanton, Esq.,
and the others, The Loss of the Harriet Lane and The Exploits of the Alabama—a very
sweet thing in Farces, I assure you—by the Veteran Composer, Gideon Welles.”
(Unbounded Applause by the Copperheads.)
