 INHlS City, as is well known, is situated at the
 fiuence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers at the cad of the uninterrupted and permanent navigation the Mississippi with clear and open channel for lc largest class of steamboats at all seasons of the ear to the city of New Orleans and the Gulf of MeX ) Situated as it is, the geographical centre of Union, and of the great valley of the Mississippi, region unparalleled in fertility, and aboundng in Il the elements of manufacturing wealth, and being ne center of nerly thirty thousand miles of river ipatOn Cairo possesses a location that as regards manufacturing and commercial ad vantages is unsur- assed It is the point opposite to which. in Ken acky, the terminus of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad onnecting Cairo with Mobile, is fixed by lava large ortion of which ld is already completed, and the hole of it under contract and in of construc .on. It is the point also opposite to which in Mis- ,uri, the terminus of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad
 fixed by an act of Congress- donating to the States f Missouri and Arkansas a portion of the public nds to assist in building that road The road now lluded to, will connect Cairo with Fulton in Arkan- Is, on the Texas line and the companies are already rganized, and the preliminary arrangements made construct It with promptness and energy. By its onnectons with railroads in of construction trough Texas, aided by a donation of land by the tate of Texas) a continuous railroad from Cairo to Paso. on the Western border of Texas, will short ybe built. forming the first division of railroad to be Pacific Ocean contemplated to be constructed n the most generally approved route. Cairo is also he Southern terminus of the great Illinois Central tailroad. which, with its branches, will be TOO extent, traNerSlfR the Sttle or 1lll0OS rom ts extreme Northern to it's extreme Southern limits nd connecting directly the city of Chicago, at the lead of navigation the Lakes the cities of Gaena nd Dubuque, the Upper Mississippi and the cities f Peru and Lasalle at the head of navigation the Illinois rvor with the city of Cairo. The main trunk nd Gaena branch of this road are completed nd passengers and reghts now daily transported WITHOUT CHANGE OF CARS, from Galena and Jhcago to Cairo By means the intersection ofthe oinos Central Railroad with the Mississippi and )hlo railroad about sixty miles east of St. Louis ailroad communication is now open with that city md by intersections with other railroads direct communication is now opened between Cairo and all be principal cities and towns not only of Illinois but tlso 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 to its mouth thus bringing to Cairo the rich products and wealth of the Wabash valley
 The site of the city of Cairo is now fully protected against overflow from the rivers by an ordinary le- wee, but and substantial evee, or embankment. is in of construction. and a portion already finished, which will be 50 feet wide on the top with average height of about ten feet and five feet higher than the highest water known at that To- caliy. This levee, embankment, will entirely
 ENCOMPASS THE CITY.
 forming on the top the front street on the bank of both the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and from its size and substantial character, will afford complete pro- lection from overflow at any stage of water, however high. The expense of this cmbankment or levee is provided for by the Trustees of the City property 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 be com menced, which will give additional value to the pro perty.
 This point is acknowledged by all having any per sona acquaintance with it, to be of the heathiest in the Valley of the Mississippi, and, regards sa ubrity of climate, it compares favorably with the healthiest cities of the West. This is proved by the 1F+ +l,n T {1+ 1. several hundred whose families present pictures of robust health not exceeded by the nhaban of any other district West or East and q short acquaintance with the locality will not fail to satisfy any one of the fact. Without the evees or embankments OF the rivers, the inconvenience from high water would be Tut temporary. continuing for not longer than few weeks in any year and would be but slight in de- gree during that period. By means of the levces already finished, this slight inconvenience s fully o- vated. and now, during the highest floods, while other cities the Mississippi and Ohio are wholly or partially submerged, Cairo s entrc V free from an noyance by high Water. From tine great number ot lots already sold toindiyduals the buildings already erected and other improvements making. and the great amount of business already concentrated there the success of Cairo is now placed beyond doubt and it is therefore confidently offered to the public as u safest and most desirable point in the country fer investment of capital the exercise of enterprise and industry.
