Washington county, and Colonel of the ;
44th Georgia regiment in the late war,)
was in me city, exhibiting moat-U and J
drawings of tne new Railroad now in
operate u iu Opelika, of which the real-'
ers of 1 he Sin Lave already bad some
information.
Tnis is a lladroad whose cars ruu upon
a single rail, and not upon two rails. It
is called “Prismatic,” because the track
is inai gular or prismatic in shape—the
single rail crownmg the pnsm or trian
gle, tne sides of which support the cars
on the single track —though we Lave not
space to describe it minute'y.
It is the invention of Mr. E. Crew, of
Opelika, patented and entirely owned by
Mr. Crew and Col. Beck.
A railroad one mile long om this plan
is in operation at Opelika. It is a pro
nounced success, and Messrs. E. Crow &
Co. have just closed a contract with the
proprietors of the Talftsse - cotton fac
tory to build a road for them to Opelika,
five miles.
A company has been form-d in Atlanta
to buiid a street railroad to Dr. Angler’s
Ponce de Leon Spring, aud they are
about closing a contract with Col. Beck
to do thb work. Dr. Augter, J. R. Wal

bump of festivity had never been de
veloped in his cranium, und hence 1. was
impossible for him to make a regular
diunerspeech. But the kind sentiments
of the toast moved him to express uis
gratitude to the bar aud people or Ma
con for the distinguished honor conferred
upon him. He had never been a mi m
her ot tbe Legislnture. Once, m my
years siuce, in tne county oi Richmond,
when his own party was largely iu the
ascetidaucy, and he was ch.iperoued aud
supported i>y the indefatigable Gen. Glas
cock, h° hud consented to be a candi

he bud attended a barbecue, which was

“Ouo of the sov* reigus” approached me

purchase a chance iu the match. I re
plied,“my friend,were I not a candidate,
1 would checrtully give you the desired
sum, but how could I take the oath of
office if elected, should 1 comply with
your wish ?” The irate voter retorted,
“you say you ure u candidate; well, it
you are too uieau to pay one dollar to aid
your election, I will see that you are
beaten. 1 aud my friends ha\c influence
enough to do it and wo trill.'' Aud sure
enough I was defeated. Now my friends
Whittle and Rutherford arc very curious
to learu how this came about. I will tell
them. Ii resulted from the fact that I
failed to get a stqficietit number of votes.
Aud if they wish to know tbe o mse of
this, I cau only say, I was unwillmg to
perjure my soul by auy electioneering
efforts which my conscience would not
appiove.
In reference to my administration as
the Execu ivo of the {State, this much I
will declare- I never deceived anyone with
false promises.
Gov. .lonnson’s entire speech was re-

Judge Hill, in response, spoke at some
hngth, aud going far back to the primeval
tkjs of the city, daguereotyped the bar

er, it was whispered, had thrown doublets
mote than once in the family lottery,
hence his euthusiasm on the subject.
On the whole, he made, however, a capi
tal defense in behalf of women’s rights.
This was the last of the tegular toasts.
Several voluuteer sentiments were of
fered, one by Mr. John R. Kendrick, of
Atlanta, as follows:
Hon. H. V. Johnson: The man who, when iu of

This brought out the Governor again
in a few weil-ehosen and appropriate re

It should also be mentioned, that CoL
deGraffenned, very appositely and grace
fully offered a resolution, which was
unanimously adopted, donating two
splendid pyramydd cakes to the young
ladies of Wesleyan Female College and
the inmates ot the Blind Asylum. At
Ihe conclusion, our young townsman,
Mr. Walter Hill, after many calls, re
sponded to the remarks of Dr. Myers

gaged iu his present occupation—agricul
tural implements and seed merenant—
directly after the war, he has continued
the same up to this time, steadily ad

as large, if not larger, than any merchant
who deals in similar articles, in the South.

An old physician asserts that but few
children under tLe age of two years lived
through the cuolera epidemic of 1850.
There is uo question about the spread
of the disease into almost every part of
the city The fact was paiufutly devel
oped yesterday. It was thought that it
had been abating in {South Nashville, but
it seems to have still remained in that por
tion of the city. An uuusual number
of new cases were .eported from
tnat part of the city yesterday. It has
also made its appearance in Fairfield,
with prospects of increasing in that lo
cality. It has also visited Rolling Mill
Hill, which is almost altogether covered
over with small negro shanties. From the
manner in which the occnpants live, all
nuddled up together, it is feared that it
may there become a plague, with no
small results. It was much worse yes
terday aloug the Western depression,
and along the Lick Branch bottom, and
on Crawford and Criddle streets especi
ally. There are, perhaps, more cases on
these two short thoroughfares than upon
any five of the longest streets. On them
live some of the poorest as wed as the
most degraded people of which a city
conld well boast.
Here, from two to six persons occupy
the same small, uncomfortable amt cheer
less room, illy furnished, aud very un
clean. These are the abodes in which
disease and death have full sway. The
sauitary department were engaged yester
day in disinfecting these two streets, and
the thoroughfares and low places in their
immediate vicinity.
Fifty barrels of ‘ar were to have been
burned over the city last night, had it
not been for the raiu. It would be a very
wise und prudent course to pursue, were
this done nightly. It ought, iu fact, to
be done all the time while the pestilence
remains amongst us. It must be fought
iu the most stubborn and relentless man
ner, We were slow enough, all know, to
appreciate our danger at a time when
much could have been accomplished to
ward preventing its spread. Dillyd ally
ing with this formidable disease is any
thing but encouraging.

We are now, after a dry April and Mny,
having an unusual amount of rain. The
rains havo been so frequent and heavy
for the last ten or twelve days that but
littie time has been left for work, and as
a natur il consequence, weeds and grass
are making rapid progress, though the
farmers are using much industry and
skill in managing their crops,
Extra labor is in demand but little can
be had. Good stands of com and cotton
are on uplands;if the rains continue long
it will be a complete faimre on bottom
lands.
Corn and cotton are looking well on
uplands, and with favorable weather to
enable the farmers to work them out, a
fair yield may be realized. The wheat
crop will be short. The oat crop is veiy
good, the best that has been for several
years past. The potato oiop is looking
fine. In fact, everything on uplands look

Editors Son: Peruaps a few biief re
marks from an old reader of your most
valuable paper, will, I hope, be accepta
ble, and will not be uninteresting to the
majority of your readers, in regard to
crop prospects.
Alter a long dry spell, we are now
having ra'n in abundance. Corn and
cotton are looking tolerably well, consid
ering so much cold, damp weather. As
a general thing the fields are matted with
grass and weeds. They resemble green
pastures more than they do crops. Old
farmers are very^much discouraged at the
prospects of crops. They say there
never was a poorer prospect, I don’t
think there will be much more than
two-thirds of a bale of ootton raised
per acre this year.
This county has some of the most pro
ductive land of any in the State, and
were it not for the offioe-holders and car
pet-baggers, it would be better off finan
cially. Emigrants going to the West
could do no better than by moving to
this county. First-rate cleared land can
be bought at from $10 to $20 per acre.
Woodlaud can be bought for little or
nothing. **

Canon Lightfoot, in a recent ser

The drama in times past taught the
people, sharpening and refining the

fore them a lofty standard of domes
