It is the point also opposite to which, in Mis- souri, the terminus of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad is fixed by act of Congress- donating to the Siases of Missouri and Arkansas a portion of the public lands to assist in building that road. The road alluded to, will connect Cairo with Fulton in Arkan sas, the Texas line and the companies already organized, and the preliminary arrangements made to construct 1t with promptness and energy. By ts connections with railroads in course of construction through Texas aided by a donation of land by The 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 contemplated 10 be constructed on the most generally approved route Cairo Is also the Southern terminus of the great Illinois Central Railroad. which. with its branches, will be over Foo miles in extent traversing the State Of Illinois from is extreme Northern tO it's extreme Southern limits and connecting directly the city of Chicago. at the head of navigation on the Lakes the cities of (alena and Dubuque, the Upper Mississippi and the cities of Peru and Lasale 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 completel and passengers and freghs daily transported WITHOUT CHANGE OF CARS. from Galena and Chicago to Cairo.

 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- lection 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 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 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 heathcst 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 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 of the fact Without the evees or embankments on the rivers, the inconvenience from high water would be but 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 levees already finished this slight nconvenencei is fully ob- viated. and now, during the highest foods while other cities on the Mississippi and Ohio wholly ol partially submerged, Cairo is entirely free from an noyance by high water. From the great number ot lots already sold individuals 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 1t IS therefore confidently oeIe ed to the public as the safest and most desirable point in the country for investment of capital the exercise of enterprise and industry.
