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.

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.

Before the election, however, he bud attended a barbecue, which was succeeded Ly the usnul shooting mulch. “Ouo of the sov* reigus” approached me aud usaeil tor a dollar to enable him to 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 well. A Subscriber.
