 IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
 TNH1S City, is we'll known, is situated at the con l uence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, at the head of the uninterrupted and permanent navigation on the Mississippi, with clear and open channel for he largest class of steamboas at all seasons ot the ye to the city of New Orleans and the Gulf of MeX- e. Situated as it is near the geographical centre ot the Uuon and of the great valley of the Mississippi, in a region unparaleledin in fertility, and aboundng in al the elements of manufacturing wealth, ana Deihg tile center of nerly thirty thousand miles of river na Vgation Cairo possesses location that as regards manufacturing and commercial advantages, IS unsur- passed. It is the point opposite to which in Ken tucky the terminus of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, connecting Cairo with Mobile, is fixed by lava large portion of which Id is already completed, and the whole of it under contract and in of construc- ton. It is the point also opposite to which in Mis- souri, the terminus of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad is fixed by an of Congress- donating to the States of Missouri and Arkansas a portion of the public lands to assist in building that road The road now alluded to, will connect Cairo with Fulton, in Arkan sas on the Texas line, and the companies already organized, and the preliminary arrangements made 10 construct it with promptness and energy. By its connections with railroads in course of construction through Texas, aided by donation of Ian! by the State of Texas) continuous railroad from Cairo to Fl Paso on the Western border of Texas will short ly be built forming the first division of railroad to the Pacific Ocean contemplated to be constructed the most generally approved route. Cairo is also the Southern terminus of the great Illinois Central Railroad. which. with its branches, will be over TOO miles in extent raversng the State of Illinois from its extreme Northern to it's extreme Southern limits and connecting directly the city of Chicago. at the head of navigation the Lakes the cities of Galena and DubuQue, the Upper Mississippi and the cities of Peru and Lasae, at the head of navigation on the Illinois river, with the city of Cairo. The main trunk and Galena branch of this road are now completed and passengers and freights daily trans ported WITHOUT CHANGE OF CARS, from Galena and Chicago to Cairo. By of the intersection ofthc 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 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 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 e- vee but new and substantial levee. or embankment s in course of construction, and q portion already finished, which will be 50 feet wide on the top, with an average height Of about ten feet and five feet higher than the highest water ever known at that To- cality. This evee, or embankment. will entirely
 ENCOMPASS THE CITY,
 forming on the top the front street the bank of both the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and from its size and substantial character, will afford complete pro tectioD from overflow at any stage of water however high The expense of this embankment 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 projected and will soon be com meneed, which will give additional value to the pro | perty.
 This point is acknowledged by all having any per sonal acquaintance with it, be of the heathiest in the Valley of the Mississippi, and. regards sa- | lubrty of climate it compares flvOrably with the heathest 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 or East. and short acquaintance with the locality will not fail to satisfy any one of the | fact. Without the levees or embanknents the rvers the inconvenience from high water would be but temporary. continuing for not longer than few weeks in any year and would be hut slight in de- gree during that period. By means of the levces already finished this slight inconvenience is fully ob- viated. and now. during the highest floods, while other cities on the Mississippi and Ohio are wholly CT partially submerged Cairo k entirely free from an noyance by high water. From the great number of
 lots already sold to individuals, the buildings already erected and other Improvements making, and the great amount of business already concentrated there the of Cairo s now placed beyond doubt. and it is therefore confidently oiled to the public as safest and most desirable point in the country tol investment of capita! the exercise of enterprise and industry.
