 in region unparalleled in fertility and abounding in all the elements of manufacturing wealth and being the center of nerly thirty thousand miles of river ma yigaton Cairo possesses location that Us regards

It the point also opposite to which iii Mis- souri. the terminus of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad iS fixed by act of Congress- donating the States of Missouri and Arkansas portion of the public lands to assist in building that road The road now alluded to. will connect Cairo with Fulton in Arkan aas on the Texas ine and the companies are already organized, and the preliminary arrangements made 70 construct It With prOmptneos and energy. By its 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 on the Western border of Texas will short
 y be built, forming the first division of railroad to the Paclhc Ocean as 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 n extent. traversng 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 Gacna and Dubuque, on the Upper Mississippi and the cities of Peru and Laac, at the head of navigation on the illinois river with the city of Cairo. The main trunk and Galcna branch of this road now completed, and passengers and reighs daily transported WITHOUT CHANGE OF CARS, from Galena and Chicago to Cairo. By fthe intersection the Illinois Central Railroad with the Mississippi and Ohio railroad, about sixty miles east of St. Louis a railroad communication is now open with that city and by intersections with other cross railroads direct communication is now opened between Cairo and all the principal cities and towns, only of Illinois but also of all the Northern and Eastern States. Cairo will also be the terminus of railroad about to be built rom Brooklyn Opposite Paducah, Ky..) along and down the Ohio river to its mouth thus brinrinG 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- vee but new and substantial evee, or embankment, Is ln course of construction, and a portion already finished, which will be so 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 embankuent, will entirely
 ENCOMPASS THE CITY.
 forming on the top the front street on the bank of both the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and from it's size and substantial character, will afford complete pro- lection from overflow at any stage of water however flgn 1 ne expense or tnlS eln bankment leVae iS provided for by the Trustees of the City propertv and purchasers of lots will not be taxed or charged i'll any way for its construction Other extensive and important Improvements to be made at the exnense of the Trustees, are projected, and will soon be com menced, which will give additional value to the nro perty.
 This point is acknowledged by all having any per sonal acquaintance with it, to be one of the heathes in the Valley of the Mississippi and as regards sa uorty of climate, It compares favorably with the oit n 10 WaSt testimony of the old residents, (of whom their are several hundred) whose families present pictures of robust health not exceeded by the inhabitants of anv other district West or East and short acquantanre with the locality Will not fail to satisfy any one of the fact. Without the levees or embankments on inc rivers, the inconvenience from high water wonld Le but temporary, continuing for not longer than f,w weeks in any one year and would be but slight in de- gree during that period. By means of the leyees already finished this slight inconvenience ia f,u viated and now, during the highest floods wb;Io other cities on the Mississippi and Ohio are wholly M partially submerged, Cairo is entirely free frcn, m T Inoyance oy hlgh water. From the great number of o.s aiIeauy soid tondlviduals the buildings already erected ana other improvements making and the great amount of business already concentrated ther the success of Cairo now placed beyond donb and It IS therefore confidently offered to the nnhl; m tb safest and most desirable point in the country for and industry. ro
