By Its connections with railroads in of construction through Texas, (aided by donation of land by inc State of Texas continuous railroad from Calro to Fl Paso, the Western border of Texas will short y be built forming the first division of railroad to the Pacific Ocean contemplated to be constructed on the most generally approved route Cairo IS also Railroad, which, with its branches, will be over 700 miles in extent raversing the State of Illinois from its extreme Northern to its extreme Southern limits, and connecting directly the city of Chicago at the head of navigation on the Lakes the cities of alena and Dubuque on the Upper Mississippi and the cities of Peru and Lasalle 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 feghts are now daily transported WITHOUT CHANGE OF CARS. from Galena and Chicago to Cairo. By means of the intersection ofthe Illinois Central Railroad with the Mississippi and Ohio railroad, about sixty miles east of St. Louis, railroad communication is 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.

 This point is acknowledged by all having any per sona acquaintance with it. be one of the heathiest in the Valley of the Mississippi, and, regards sa lubrity of climate, it compares tavoraby with the healthleSt 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 of the fact. Without the levces 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 levces already finished, this ght inconvenienceis fully ob viated, and now, during the highest floods, while other cities on the Mississippi and Ohio wholly partially submerged, Cairo is 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 success of Cairo Is now placed beyond doubt and it is therefore confidently offered to the public as the safest and most desirable point in the country for investment of capita or the exercise of enterprise and industry.
