IN LIE lLLlNOlS.
 THIS City, as Is well known, is situated at the con j. fuence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers at the head of the uninterrupted and permanent navigation on the Mississippi with clear and open channel for the largest class of steanboats at all seasons of the year to the city of New Orleans and the ulf o1 MeA Situated as it is, the geographical centre of the Unon and of the great valley of the Mississippi, in region unparaelled in fertility, and aboundng in all the elements of manufacturing wealth, ana pehg the center of nery thirty thousand miles of river vigaton. Cairo possesses location that regards manufacturing and commercial advantages, is unsur passed It is the point opposite to which, in Ken lucky the terminus of the Mooiie ana Ohio Railroad portion of which old is already completed, and the whole of under contract and in course of consrnc tion It is the point also opposite to which, in Mis souri, heterminus 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, the Texas line, and the companes 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 donation of land by the State of Texas continuous railroad from Cairo to Fl Paso on 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 the Southern terminus of the great Illinois Central Railroad which. with its branches, will be over 700 miles in extent. travesing 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 the Lakes. the cities of Gaena and Dubuque the Upper Mississippi. and the cities of Peru and L>lle 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 treghs daily ported WITHOUT CHANGE OF CARS from Gulena and Chicago to Cairo. By of the intersection fthe 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 OhO 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 levec, or embankment is in course of construction, and portion already finished. which will he so feet wide on the top, with an average height of about ten feet. and five feet higher than tie highest water known at that To- cality. This levcc. or embankuucnt will entirely

 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 embankment levee, 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 projected and will soon be com menccd, which will give additional value to the pro- pertv.
 This point is acknowledged by all having any per sona acquaintance with it, to be of the healtiest in the Valley o the Mississippi, and, as regards sa- lubriy of clilnaf3 it compares favorably with the iealtcst 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. " or East, and short acquaintance with tne locality will not fail to satisfy any one of the fact. Without 4e levees or embellishments on the livei~ the inconvenience from high water would be but temporary. continuing for not longer than few weeks in ore year. and would be but slight in de- gTec u;in@ that period. By means of the levces already finished this slight inconvencnceis is fully ob- vintcd. and now during the highest hoodS while other cic- oil he Me>i~>ip and Ohio are wholly or partially onei 2d Cairo is entirely free from an noyancc 5y high water. From the great number of lots already sold to ndiviGullS, the buildings already erected and oCae improvements making, and the great of business aieaGy oncentrated there thc >rtte~> oi Ci k now placed hey ond doubt, and it is tlerc,o;c confidently oic. c to the public as ths sac~D and most desirable point in the country for investment of capitai O. tle exercise of enterprise ana inGu>tIy.
