ACADEMY OF hUSiC.-1ut OaLeS COLuC
Opera Company, which opened brief engage
mert at the Academy last evening, have won
new laurels, and created genuine furore
throughout the Northern cities which they have
visited since their last appearance In Charleston.
With q vocal department second only to the
Grand Opera, they have elevated the standard OF
music necessary to their style Of entertainment,
and, by ignoring the Vulgarity so common In bur-
lesque performances, they have been able to en-
joy five months OF as brilliant season as the
olympic Theatre, OF New York, ever experienced.
The press OF New York have done full justice TO
the merits Of the company, and their accom-
pljshed star in particular. The Herald
SAYS the "troupe Is one OF the finest
ordern "Mrs. Oates,' the World remarks,
"won last night tho trib1te OF unbounded
laughter and "sang not only with miraculous
organ, but with an amount Of culture seldom met
with on the burlesque stage" The Sun says the
company "haye variety OF merit, any one Of
wh!cEh enough to secure for them crowded
houses. Hrs. Oates sings and acts bewitchingly."
wilkes's Spirit says Mrs. Oates lis not only
good singer herself but she has taken pains to Sc
cure several other capital solo voices, and to pick
her chorus with due regard TO Its vocal ab:ntle.
The troupe have the rare merit OF modesty and
mirthfulness combined" In Charleston the Oates
Troupe are prime favorites, aud they had last
night really fine house-one Of the best Of the
season.
The performance began with roaring farce. 1t
hinged upon the pranks Of darkey servaRt,
which, while very funny, was ab6at as unlike the
genuine article as anything could be.
,Onenbach's "Prima Donna Of Night" hardly
rises to the dignity OF piece de resistance, and
may be better described as musical entrenaet;
something spicy, well favored, and tickling to the
palate, but of light weight and mysterious ante
cedents. 1t is interspersed with some sweet and
very Ofenbachian music, and throughout was
handsomely sung and played, although 1t is not
well adapted to display the powers of the COM
psny. Mrs. Oates was received with the utmost
cordlallty, confirming In every particular the ex.
celent impression which she produced last season.
This little lady is symmetrical bundle Of
grace, fun and humcr. hr. H. 7. Allen, whose
mellow baritone Is richer than ever, sang splen.
didly. There are few, If any, better barisones on
the American stage. Mr.. G. b. Drew, who takes
the place of Mr.. Chatterson, Is young and hand
some and possesses fine tenor voice, which he
uses to good purpose. He is very acceptable
addition to the troupe.
There was no orchestra, for the reason that 1t
would have been impracticable to get up the in
tricste accompaniment OF the piece In the short
time allowed for rehearsal. This was the only
drawback to the performance, and the plano did
It's level best
Tonight we have "Little Faust" said to be the
war horse OF the Oates company.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

A CoNJUGAL DISPUTE.-On Saturday night
william Marion, after week of toll, returned
with his wages to his residence In yard on
Queen street, No. q, where the sable partner OF
his Joys, Frances by name, awaited his coming.
She had set her heert, 1t seems, on new pair OF
shoes which hung in all the glories Of tasseled
strings and red morocco lining in front OF shop
in King street. Unfortunately for him William
had expended the greater part Of his money In
groceries for the coming week and paying old
bills, not leaving sufficient to purchase the shoes.
Upon discovery Of this melancholy fact the smiles
and endearments Of his scheming dame were
quickly changed to frowns and abuse. His calm
demesnor, under this nery exhibition, only served
to madden his irate spouse, and she few at him
like wildcat. His veteran coat was reduced In
a few moments to tatters, and 10 save few OF
the hairs on his head he beat retreat, with
Frances in hot pursuit. A policeman here came
to the rescue, aud the model couple were taken
to the Guardhouse and both locked up. They
were brought before the Mayor yesterday morn.
ing, and Frances was sent to the House OF Cor
rectiop for ten days. William was thought to
have received sufficient punishment already. and
upon being discharged went his way without bid
ding his spouse very tender farewell.

without u thought of the consequences OF such
a course of action. That success can possibly
attend q people under such system Of agri-
culture long at time, Is morally Impossible.
Contrary 10 the general idea, 1t never did at
tend them in the past. The records oil the
bankrl, court show the majority to have been
bankrupt before the war, and can show, be-
vpnd all caril, that, with nearly all OF the
uIost successful, the profits came almost solely
from the increase OF the negro S instead OF The
planting proper.
This year the crop of cotton is, save 1t be
that OF 1860, undoubtedly rs large one as any
ever raised. In fact. It's generally admitted by
would fully equal that Of 1850. Probably fully
half OF that raised has been upon the share
system. The planters, negroes, and all. have
rim in debt, and the merchants have trusted
all with proGigal hand. All this has been
done in expectation Of Il good price for cotton.
II turns out to be very low as compared 10
that calculated upon. Taking the waoln OF The
Southwest, 1t may safely b- said that nearly. II
not quite as much, has been advanced upon
the crop. in the way of supplies, as can be
realized thereon. The consequences may
readily be Imagined. The planter, finding
himself no better, even worse of than Il gear
ago, and reckless thereby, is too apt to
ignore his creditors and give them the
slip, by sending his cotton elsewhere for
sale. The black, seeing no reason why Ne
should do better than the white, finding his
share will bring him barely enough to leave
him where he started, perhaps leaves II un-
picked and his creditors to whistle, while he
picks out the crop OF Il neighbOr for pay. Nor
Is it. indeed, the crop OF The black alone thar
Is left pnpcked. On the contrary, as 1 have it
from the merchants, the blacks. as rule, pick
out and bring In their cotton far more prompt
ly than the whites themselves. Between the
two, however from reasons like these and
the fact OF the crop being very large one,
there Is perhaps twenty per cent. of the cotton
that will remain unpicked. The country mer-
chant, very naturally, is making desperate et-
forts to make himself good. This explains the
.act, which have heard commented upon by
