CAIRO AND ST. LOUIS R. Rive see by the
Springfield Journal that the survey of the above
named Road is now being made by Fl. Hol-
brook Esq, of Beleville and Sharon Tyndale
Secretary of State. Mr. Holbrook says that
the heaviest grade from East st. Louis to Spar
ia, up the Mississippi bluff, is thirty-four feet
to the mile; the next heaviest at Kaskaskia
River, which is thrty-two feet and the aver
age is twenty-five feet. Considerable rivalry
exists between Sparta and Chester as to which
place the road shall run thrugh, and both towns
are making lively bids therefor Chester Is on
the river and Sparta is an inland town. The
Journal says: tnc road will be built with
ont doubt, and the route will be where it can
be built best and cheapest

Similar causes, and in a somewhat greater
degree interfere with the navigation of the
Ohio river, and during five months Of every
year heavy freight from the East, going
South, must pass by rail. And by the
construction of the projected line from
Vincennes to Cairo, there would be
uninterrupted communication at all seasons Of
the year, between Cincinnati and New York
and the Southwest. And by the construction
of this link the Atlantic Il Great Western Rail-
way would be the only continuous route East
ward. The shipper and passenger, finding
himself able to travel or send freight over your
line without the vexatous delay Of changing
cars, would always choose that route; and thus
the mighty tide of commerce and travel, al
ready great and yearly increasing, to and from
the South would pay its tribute to the Atlantic
Great Western Railway. The broad gauge
road would be but an extension Of the broad
river, which first assumes its truly natural char
acter, as an inland sea, at Cairo and New
York and New Orleans would thus be connec-
ted by one continuous route, with but single
change of conveyance.
1t may be supposed that your connection
with the confluence Of the two great rivers,
by the Illinois Central, via Odin, would be
sufficient. But it is not so. The route to
Cincinnati, by direct line to Vincennes. is at
least 40 miles nearer than the route via Odin.
And whereas, at present, the larger portion of
the travel and freight bound Eastward by rail
from and through Cairo, now goes by Chicago
and Indianapolis, if there was road leading
directly to Vincennes, the entire freight and
travel Eastward, except in special cases, would
60 uiA Vincennes.
The Committee have but glanced at part Of
the many reasons why it would add much to
the greatness Of your truly Continental Enter
prise, if you should build the road from Vim
ccnncs to Cairo.
We will only add further that a railroad
company, under the corporate name of the
Southern Illinois R. r. Co., organized to con-
struct this line of foad and about half the line
is graded; but it has not been able to make much
progress from want of means. THIS company,
we doubt not would gladly dispose of their in
terest in the road for very small consideration.
Indeed, Judging from the deep solicitude of the
people along the line of this road for it's early
completion, we feel confident that all local
stock would be gladly donated to any one who
would complete the road
The report was accepted, and on motion
Col. S. S. Taylor was deputed to present the
Address to the Capitalists in person.
DR.. Mcdowell, the far famed surgeon and
lecturer, being present. was called upon to
make a speech, which call he responded to in
one of the finest efforts we ever listened to.
We will not attempt to present a synopsis of it,
as we intend publishing it in full on tomorrow
