THE TESTIMONIAL BENFTIT offered Manager Ford by the citizens of Charleston, took place at the Academy of Music last night. The free list was enilrely suspended, but theje was not a vacant seat in the house, and standing room was at jj premium. Encouraged by the presence of an audience remarkable in character as well as la numbers, thc company exerted themselves to the utmost, making the performance or "Much Ado About Nothing" brilliantly successful. Miss Eldridge, Mr. Warner and Mr. Fannln, fairly outdid themselves, and well deserved all . the applause lavishly bestowed upon then?. When the curtain fell Mr. Ford was londly call ed Tor, and, iu the absence or that gentleman, Mr. II. H. Wood caine bet?re the footlights, and tn a graceful little speech, conveyed to the audi ence Mr. Ford's thanks, and the pleasing intelli? gence that he had engaged the Academy or Music until the 1st or May. "TUE CROPS OK 18GD."-The Southern Farm? er, an agricultural magazine published at Mem phis, says: "Suggestions as to our future and inferences from the past, should all have a share or our thoughts, and the prudent will strive to <lraw therefrom, like the 'busy bec,' honey to store up Tor ruturC usc. Not having the exact figures ot a totality, wc cannot speak with cer? tainty, but beginning at horneas to facts: The cotton crop here-seed planted May 20, with Rhode's phosphate, used say 250 pc undi per acre gave blooms the 20th July, and cotton to pick as soon as the land in cotton nearest us, with same seed, although planted one month earlier, and our crop yielding more, from say four or five acres, than other land nearest us from twelve to fourteen acres. Next, where phosphate was used, absolute weight ivy. to 7J?. Still higher up the country 'full three times' as much from phos? phate. The fact is to be noticed that not only is product increased, but earlier maturing.-' TUE LILA AND ZOE TROUPE.-The combi? nation of acrobats, gymnasts, pantomimes, Ac, that was presented at the Hibernian Hall last night, rivalled any performance of a similar oharacter that has ever been attempted in this city. The llanlous were thrown completely In thc shade, and the audience testified their appre? ciation of the daring feats or strength, and agility by repeated applause. The programme was di? versified with music, songs, juggling, and won? derful displays of agility, in which the performers proved to the spectators that their bodies were more elastic than India rubber. The troupe com? bines the highest talent In their line, though thc prominent characters arc undoubtedly the two female gymnasts, or as they are appropriately called, the "Queens of thc Air." -They are from La Belle France, and have studied their profes? sion In the Parisian theatres. The teria! night is one of the most daring feats that has ever been attempted, and when lt ls remembered that the performers are women, an increased zest ls add <ed to the interest that ls reit In tho perilous leaps through space. The Hibernian Hall was admira? bly arranged ror thc performance, and the two principal actors seemed perfectly at home on the trapeze, and swung from their dizzy perches with the ntraost nonchalance. Mons. DeLave, Codona, Delbra, and Signor Martinez, exhibited a wonderful confidence in their ability to do whatever they attempted, and the result In each Instance proved that their bo? dies were In perrect control. The female gymnasts were undobtedly the stars: but the entire peridr m-vjee is one rarely witnessed, and should bc at? tended by every one who desires to pass a pleas? ant hour. The Hibernian Hall ls well adapted for amusements, and the theatrical arrangement or the stage adds greatly to the performance. A different programme will be presented each evening. MANAGER J. T. FORD. Presentation of a Testimonial. After the performance at the Academy ofMu sic last night, a number of gentlemen met by ap? pointment at thc Charleston Hotel, ami presented Manager John T. Ford, af Baltimore, a lasting and substantial testimonial of thc regard of our citizens. This came in thc shape of a handsome gold watch, with massive gold chain, the watch being suitably engraved and inscribed. The pre? sentation was made by Major Lamb Buist, who said: Hr. Ford-At thc request of a large number of my fellow-citizens representing varied iutcrest. I have the honor to present you this beautiful and useful testimonial. > 1 am deputed to present it in token of their ap? preciation of y our devotion in thc laudable efforts you have made to enhance their pleasures and promote the best interest of the city of their af ? ec I lons. You came among us with an estab? lished reputation, and now that our fellow -citi? zens have had thc opportunity of a personal in? tercourse with you, and a practical illustration of your ability to reline and elevate the standard of one of their most intellectual sources of amuse? ment, they feel that they cannot permit the sea? son to pass without some substantial recognition of their approbation and esteem, and they have requested me to present it at the close of the eve? ning, when thc voice of approval of our people has been so signally manifested in your behalf In that elegant temple of art, erected by thc liber? ality and enterprise of your esteemed proprietor, Mr. Chadwick. It seems hardly necessary that I should say your efforts have been of benctlt to our city, commer? cially and otherwise. You came among us a citizen of Baltimore, and readily thereby you were accorded a mott natter? ing welcome. Thc hospitality and nobility o? the people of that city have engendered feelings of esteem and a itv ct ion which lind response in thc hearts of those of our cherished State. There is a tie which binds them together in bonds of com? mon union, and when they reflect that it ivas thrdugh the liberality, high sense of justice and benevolence of individuals like yourself that thc suffering ol many or their citizens in the day or their greatest need were alleviated, how can they otbeSrise than congratulate themselves that the present opportunity is theirs? Go on, slr. In the work to which you have dedi? cated your energies-that or purifying, relining and elevating the standard of the drama. May we be permitted to express thc hope that others will follow your example, and that all will, like yourself, with determination and dignity, main? tain and vindicate their rights under the constitu? tion and the laws. Manager Ford, who spoke with an unaffected pathos, which touched on lils hearers, returned his thanks in these words: Gentlemen-The scenes of to-night are to meal most bewildering. The thronged house or beau? tiful ladies and elegant gentlemen at the Acad? emy, the eloquent, feeling, and lattering address to which I have just listened, this magnificent present, and I a stranger, who, less than sixty days, came here unknown, save by a few friends of thc earliest years or my manhood-I can scarce? ly realiae Its reality. If I have pleased Charleston, my ambition ls complete. The exalted and acknowledged intel? lectual taste of Its people is so proverbial as to make success indeed "a consummation de? voutly to be wished." For your kind words about Baltimore, allow me specially to thank you, and to say that it I was not her citizen, lt would be my heart's fond de? sire to live and die a citizen of Charleston. I will cherish your gilt, gentlemen, while I live, and hand lt to my son when I go over to thc ma? jority, and bid him to watch for every opportun! ty of appreciation. I am glad to say I intend to remain among vou for several months. Your enterprising and libe? ral tel low-citizen, Mr. Chadwick, has offered rae 1 the Academy on terms both generous and equita? ble, and I have arranged to manage lt for the next three months. i I again thank you, sir, for your graceful and l most pleasant remarks, and you, gentlemen, for 1 your valuable girt. I When the presentation speeches were over, thc company adjourned to thc spacious dining-room, I where the health of Mr. John Chadwick, the pro- i prletor or the Academy or Music, was proposed I t?y Manager Ford, and drunk most heartily in I Dumpers of champagne. Colonel Edle, the press 1 md thc banks were toasted in succession, and ' mon arter the company separated. i Thc manner of the presentation made it a high- i y pleasant affair. There was no fuss or parade. < it was reit that there was due to Manager Ford a i asting mark of our esteem, and the gentlemen i rho took the matter In charge, carried out their i rarpose with a qniet earnestness and delicacy 1 vhich must have been eminently gratifying to he fortunate recipient, all whose laurels are well von, well borne and well deserved. 1 ODD FELLOWS' CELEBRATIONS.-The annual communication of the Grand Encampment of the [. 0. 0.

M. W. WEBB. II. G. FRAZER. Tnos. 9 PWBB. KING H EX RT ir. First Appraram- of James H. Hackett. To-night Mr. Jamos H. Hackett will appear at the Academy of Music as "Falstaff" in The First Part of King Henry IV. The action of this play begins with the sudden incursion of Jjie Welch under Owen Glendower, and ends, in the acting edition, with the Itattlc of Shrewsbury and death of narry Hotspur. In this play the char? acters of Prince Hal and Hotspur are happily con? trasted, but al! the amiability and attractiveness is certainly on the side of the Prince. However familiar he makes himself with bad company, wc can never mistake him Tor one of them, and his wildest freaks appear merely as witty tricks; for when thc occasion wakes him out of his unruly levity, he distinguishes himself without effort in the most chivalrous guise. Percy is rude, arro? gant and obstinate, but, withal, a noble youth. . From thc events or the Welch rebellion rise all thc tragic Incidents of thc drama, but these would be inadequate to fill thc stage if thc serious events were not interrupted by a comedy, which is enriched from time to time with new figures, and which comes to its catastrophe when Henry V banishes the companions of his youthful ex? cesses, who lind promised themselves a rich har. vest from his-kingly favor. In this comedy with? in a tragedy are those joyous "Minions of the Moon'1-Poins, Polo, Gadshlll, Bardolph and Fal? staff, or Falstaff-"Fat Jack" - Schlegel, thc eminent dramatic critic, says: Falstaff ls the crown or Shakespeare's comic in? vention. He has, without exhausting himself, continued this character throughout three plays, and exhibited him in every variety or situation; the llgure Is drawn so definitely and individually, thatevtu to the mere reader lt conveys the clear impression of personal acquaintance. Falstaff is thc most agreeable and entertaining knave that ever was portrayed. His contemptible qualities are not disguised-old, lecherous, and dissolute; corpulent beyond measure, ami always intent upon cherishing his body with eating, drinking and sleeping; constantly In debt, and anything but conscientious lu his choice of means by which money Is to be raised; a cowardly soldier, and a Iring braggart; a natterer ol his friends before tucir face, and a satirist behind their backs; and yet we are never disgusted with him. We see that his lender care of hiiuscir is without any mixture or malice towards others; he wilt only not bc disturbed in the pleasant repose or his sen? suality, and this he obtains through the activity or his understanding. Always on the alert, and good-humored, ever ready to crack jokes on oth? ers, and to enter into those or which he ls himself Hie subject, so that he justly boasts he ls not only witty hlmseir, but the cause of wit in others, he ls an admirable companion for youthful Idleness and levity. Under a helpless exterior, he couccals an extremely acute mind; he has always at oom maud some dexterous turn whenever any or his free joke?begin to give displeasure; he is shrewd in his distinctions between those whose favor he has to win and those over whom he may assume a familiar authority. He ls so convinced that the part which he plays can only pass under the cloak of wit, that even when alono he ls never alto? gether serious, but elves the drollest coloring to hts love intrigues, lils intercourse with others, and to his own sensual philosophy. Witness lils In? imitable soliloquies on honor, on thc influence of wine on bravery, his descriptions or thc beggarly vagabonds whom he enlisted, ol Justice Shallow, .Vc. Falstaff has about him a whole court or amusing caricatures, who by turns make their appearance, without ever throwing him into the shade. The adventure In which thc prince, under thc disguise or a robber, compels him to give up thc spoil which he had Just taken; thc scene where thc two act the part of the Klug and Prince; Falstaff's behavior In the field, his mode of rais? ins recruits, his patronage of Justice Shallow, which afterwards takes such an unfortunate turn-alt this lunns a scries or characteristic scenes or thc most original description, full of pleasantry, and replete with nice and Ingenious observations, such as could only lind a place In historical play like the present. Mr. Hackett is the one great "Falstaff" of our time. Veteran Charlcstouians will perhaps re inemher that the same gentleman, more than thirty years ago, played "Falstaff" at the o;,i thea? tre In Broad street, and at least twenty years ago played a short engagement at the Meeting street ihcatre. Even then he drew the wholo city in his train. Kow bets mellowed and ripened by expe? rience and time, and enjoys a cosmopolitan rcpu latlou. Good wine needs no bush; but we may tdd thal in order to play a shorl engagement In his city, Mr. Hackett brought to a close an eml ?cntly successful season at Booth's Theatre, s'cw York. CnoMna.-Thc anniversary of the Pheonix Fire Engine Company takes place this evening, ind thc occasion will be celebrated by a supper, n Tully's best style, given at ?he Market Hall. The Comet Star Fire Company disclaim any participation in the scrimmage at the Military Hall.

Each lose seems to impart a permanent accession ol icalthrul invigoration. But this is not all. The iperlcnt and nuti-bllious properties of the prepar itlon arc scarcely secondary in importance to its .onie virtues. If there is an overflow or bile thc secretion ls soon brought within proper limbs, ind If thc, biliary organ is Inert and torpid lt ls oncd and regulated. The effect upon the dis? charging organs Is equally salutary, and in cases if constipation the cathartic action is just suill iient to produce the desired result gradually and ivithout pain. The BITTERS also promote healthy evaporation from thc surface, which ls partlcu arly desirable at this season when sudden spells if raw, unpleasant weather arc apt to check the natural perspiration and produce congestion or the liver, coughs and colds. The best safeguard igainst all diseases is bodily vigor, and this the ;reat Vegetable Restorative essentially promotes. janis COAC pST- IF YOU WANT LAW BOOKS, LAW BLANKS and Legal Printing, go to EDWARD PERRY, No. 155 Meeting street, opposite Charles ton Hotel.

In consequence of the imperfect, method hitherto adopted in prcpartug the Juice or this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belier that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very InTerlor Syrup. But, by the discovery or the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed In the minds or all those who have examined and tested this process, as they realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups or the Refineries, Is pro? duced, but also Sy rup equal to the best New Or? leans, In such quantity, as to make lt without doubt, the must profitable crop that cnn be plant? ed.
