TuE TRIPARrirE RAILaoAp ALLIAxcE.--A
telcgraphs dispatch totbe Ne,cs and Courier.
dated, Augusta, April 0, rays. Mr.. wadley and
Mr.. Fisher, Receiver or the South Carolina
Railroad, arrived in Augusta this morning and
remained during the day, in conference with
President Phinisy, OF the Georgia Railroad, the
greater portion Of the time. IL Is said that
their presence here was for the purpose of con-
cuding md perfecting the arrangements for the
tripariite alliance between the Georgia, Central
aud South Carolina Railroads, and there seems
to be no doubt in the minds Of any one that the
alliance will be consummated.
Mr.. wadley keeps his own counsel, but his
recent visit 10 Augusta so soon, lead to the con-
victiou that everything 10 In the proper trim,
and that the alliance may be looked upon rs nm
accomplished fact. Whether il Is this feeling
which has caused Georgia Railroad stock to ad-
vance ten dollars shnre, or that the friends OF
the Central desired to buy more stock in order
to render security doubly sure, Is problem that
has not yet been solved.
THE RuMoR CoSFIRNED.--President wadley
Of the Central Railroad was In conference to-
day with President Phinisy Of the Georgia Rail-
road. II 10 now believed that the tripariite alli-
ance between the Louisville and Nashville and
Central Of Georgia and the Georgia Railroads is
consummated. While there will DO no CONSOLE
daton of the roads, the entire system will be
worked effcctually under one management from
the West to Savannah and Charleston and inter,
mediate cities.

Blind Tom.

Blind Tom.
1t will be seen by referring to our advertising
columns, thu, our community is to be treated to
somewhat wonderful and very interesting
entertainment next Wednesday night. Blind
Tom Is no doubt prodigy and we are told his
performances are truly wonderful. An exchange
says Of him:
That unseemly skull of Blind Toms envel
opes brain that is the strangest compound of
weakness and strength, ,.ob,useness and percep-
tion, imbeciity and genius that ever mortal man
beheld. Blind, uncouth, unnatural. incoherent
in thought and speech, ne yet performs great
things. things that many a bright and penetrat.
ing mind would aspire to in vain. No more
striking or improbable contrasts could we'll be
