 rTlIS City, asis well known, Is situated at the con ! fuence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers at the head of the uninterrupted and permanent navigation on the Mississippi, with clear and open channel fol the largest class of seamboats at all seasons of the year the city or New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexi- @. Situated it is, the geographical centre o the Unon and of the great valley of the Mississippi in region unparalleled in fertility, and abounding in all the elements of manufacturing wealth, and being the center of nerly thirty thousand miles of river na- vgati0n Cairo possesses location that as regards manufacturing and commercial advantages, IS unsur- < passed. It is the point opposite to which, Tn Ken tuckv the terminus of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. connecting Cairo with Mobile is fixed by lava large portion of which road is already completed, and the whole of it under contract and in course ofconstruc- tion. It is the point also opposite to which, Tn Nils souri, the terminus of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad is fixed by an act of Congress donating to the States of Missouri and Arkansas portion of the public lands to assist in building that road The road now alluded to- will connect Cairo with Fulton, in Arkan sas the Texas line, and the companies are already . organized, and the preliminary arrangements made to construct it with promptness and energy By Its connections with railroads in course of construction through Texas aided by a donation of land by he State of TeXas) continuous railroad from Cairo to Fl Paso the Western border of Texas. Will short ly be built forming the first division of railroad to the Pacific Ocean as contemplated to be constructed tine most generally approved route. Calro IS also the Southern terminus of the great Illinois Central Railroad, which, with its branches, will be over 700
 
 its extreme Northern to its extreme Southern limits and connecting directly the city of Chicago, at the head of navigation the Lakes the cities Of Galena and Dubuque on the Upper Mississippi and the cities of Peru and Lasalle the head of navigation on the Illinois river with the city of Cairo. The main trunk and Galena branch of this road now completed and passengers and reights are now daily transported 4 WITHOUT CHI HANGE OF CARS, from Galena and Chicago Cairo By of the intersection of the Illinois Central Railroad with the Mississippi and Ohio railroad about sixty miles east of St. Louis, railroad communication is now open with that city and by intersections with other cross railroads direct communication is now opened between Cairo and all the principal cities and towns not only of Illinois but also of all the Northern and Eastern States. Cairo will also be the terminus of railroad about to be built from Brooklyn opposite Paducah. ky, along and down the Ohio river its mouth thus, bringing to Cairo the rich products and wealth of the Wabash valley.
 The site of the city of Cairo is fully protected against overflow from the rivers, by an ordinary e- wee. but a new and substantial levee, or embankment is in course of construction. and portion already finished which will be so feet wide on the top, wll an average height of about ten feet, and five feet higher than the highest water ever known at that To- caily. This levee, or embankuIent, will entirely
 ENCOMPASS THE CITY,
 forming on the top the front street the bank ot both the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and from its size and substantial character will afford complete pro tecton from overflow at any stage of water however high. The expense of this embankment or evee, Is
 
 and purchasers of lots will not be taxed or charged in any way for its construction. Other extensive and important Improvements to be made at the expense of the Trustees, are projected and will soon be menced, which will give additional value to the pro perty.
 This point is acknowledged by all having any per SOnal acquaintance with it, to be of the heathiest in the Valley of the Mississippi, and, regards lubrity of climate. it compares favorably with the healthest cities of the West This is proved by the testimony of the old residents, (of whom their are several hundred whose families present pictures of robust health not exceeded by the inhabitants of any other district West East, and short acquaintance with the locality will not fail to satisfy any one o the fact. Without the levees or embankments on the rivers the inconvenience from high water would be but temporary, continuing for not longer than lew weeks in any year, and would be but slight in de- gree during that period. By means of the levees already finished, this slight inconvenences is fully ob viated, and now, during the highest floods, while other cities the Mississippi and Ohio wholly or partially submerged, Cairo is entirely free from noyance by high water. From the great number of lots already sold toindivduals the buildings already erected and other improvements making, and the great amount of business already concentrated there the success of Cairo is placed beyond doubt and it is therefore confidently oe ed to the public as the safest and most desirable point in the country for investment of capital or the exercise of enterprise and industry.
 The title to the property is indisputable and the written opinions to that effect of the Hon. Stephen T. Logan Judge Lyman Trumbu, Hon. D. J. Baker, Hon. Sidney Breeze, Hon. J. Dougherty, Il. w. Bill lngs, and C. G. Smons esqrs., of Illinois, and of the Hon. Edward Bates. of Missouri can now be seen by application to Thomas s.
