We have not leisure to-day to more than
merely allude to this purposed enterprise
1t strikes US as being one full of advan-
tsges to this city, and at the same time a
fessable project. But it is too important for
any other notice at our hands, than one found

examination we have not time to give the
subject to-day.

The following is the article from the Co.
lumbar alluded to above:
Cincinnati and Rail- Roads.
To THE EDITOR OF THE CoLuMBIAS:
Genf.-The following communication from
the Cairo "Times" Of April 4th, 1855, con-
tains matters of sufficient interest to citizens
Of Cincinnati to induce me to request you to
publish il.
The Cairo and Fulton Rail Road, to be
constructed, runs from the West bank of the
Mississippi, opposite Cairo, in Illinois. and
the mouth Of the Ohio, through Little Rock
to Fulton, in Arka nsas, on the East bank of
Red River, Rail Road. which is designed to
connect with the Pacific Rail Road. For
the construction Of this Road, Congress, has
granted one million acres of land The es-
timaied cost Of the Road is in round num-
bers, seven million five hundred thousand
dollars.
The survey, as ! am informed by a frie nd
In whom have every confidence, and who is
familiar with the country, is as fine land as
can be found in Arkansas. This being the
fact, there is every prospect, without the most
injudicious or viliainous management, that
The road will be speedily built. There is an
effort being made by contractors and inter-
ested parties to induce those entrusted with
the management to issue bonds al ibitum
to raise money, which would have the effect
to depreciate them in market, to treble the
cost of the road, to leave it unfnished-a
curse to the State, and to the stockholders
But this course the present Board Of the
Cairo and Fulton Railroad will resist, and, il
10 to be hoped, successfully.
Having thus intoduced the subject, let u
see what can be, or has been done on THU
side the Mississippi, to derive benefit from
this road. \
We will soon have the Ohio and Missis.
aippi Railroad to its junction with or cross
tng of the Illinois Central; but there is e
this the objection that when freight or pas
sen1ers are embarked in the Illinois Centra

SEA-IsLAND CoTToN.-Mr. Greeley, who is now
in Paris, writes to the New York Tribune:
"Mr. Elliott, Of South Carolina, (who, believe,
is commissioner from that State, and also from,
Georgia. informs me that Algeria has sent here
samples Of Sea-island cotton equal to any in the
world. 1t has been supposed that this long staple
would grow nowhere else than on our southern
coast and vigorous attempts to naturalize it in In
dia have proved failures; yet 1t grows luxurianty
on certain slopes Of Mount Atlas, where the exist
ence of salt springs is supposed to favor its per-
fection-the underlying mountain being composed,
in good part, Of salt. Algeria seems to be steadily
increasing in commercial Importance, and the
French determined to prove therein their ability
to colonize as well as conquer. They could not
easily have chosen a region more in need of in.
dustrial, social, and political renovation"
