元治元甲子年八月日
A day in August 1864
He's using the era name in addition to the zodiac calendar. 元治 Genji-era; 元 Gan [nen] initial year; 甲子 Kinoe Ne is the zodiac year; 年 year; 八月 8th month; 日 a day
甲子 Kinoe Ne is the 1st year of the 60-year cycle. There was only a single year in this particular era; so, there is no 元治二年 Genji 2nd Year.
