Tho Saline co :ity HtgMtr, of tho
dato of January 81st., soys : "Messrs;
Raum & .Mitchell have taken tho contract
to clear, grade and tlo ninetoon miles of
tho Cairo & Vinccnties railroad, south
from Harrisburg."
Work on the Cairo and Yincennes
railroad is lo bo commenced nt once, nnd
the ontiro lino to bo ready for tho cars in
ono year. Tho ontiro road, excepting
about six miles, is undor contract. Tho
look-out for Cnirols brighter now than it
has been at any tlmo since tho closo of tho
war. May it never grow less.
Work on tho Cairo and St. Louis
railroad drngs its slow length along as
fast ns the Inclomency of tho woatfier will
permit. "When thcro Is n chango for tho
bettor in tlu weathor, wo may expect to
seo the road pushed to completion, without
any delay. It Is almost Impossible to do
nnything in this low lands of this county
at this time.
"At special meeting of tho county

"tho following action was had:
An order was mado to rectify all errors

On Monday, of last weok, the citizens of
Tcrre Hauto and llnrrlson townsnips,
Ind.. voted to subscribe $150,000 to a rail
road running in a southwestern direction
from that city to tho Mississippi river.
Tho ter-ninus of tip's' toad Is yet un
decided, and w trust that the
citizens or Unlro will mako an cuori
lo havo tho road constructed to that place.
Cairo Is tho hei d of navigation at all sea
sons of tho vctr, and Is destined to bo
tho nolnt where direct connection will bo
mado with railroads to Now Orleans,
Mobile, and to all points in Arkansas nnd
Toxas. Tho crcat Texas cattlo trndo

of Torro Hsutt build a narrow guago
road (three feet) the same as tho Uairo
nnd St. Louis railroad, nnd it will do
lore to increase the prosperity- of that
sitv than anv other project. A railroad
without n i!00d tcrminaiinc point is a
failure. Tho Mississippi river for four

CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
During tho past -IS hours tho river has
risen G inches but last tiiirht, it was on n
stand. Somo light ice continues to pass
down but it is so scattering that it does
not amount to anything.
Tho situation below rumains much the
sumo ns our lust report Intimated. Dcs
rpt Aff..rl4 ar .tlnn rnudo by tltO tOW
boat Kellog to open a channel from below
and tho Inst report from thcro was
mat sno wat doing mucn good but no
boat hnd been released. The gorgo is
bound lo let looso beforo long but those
bouts that nro in it are nnxiois to get out
i l f-.rethcy receive any injuries. Captain
l. $ H -icr ays that " few people know
whttcau'ed tho ico to gorge down there'
He says, " that during tho war, while Gen.
Polk was in command of Columbu, lio
caused a largo number of cannon balls to
bo thrown in tho channel and also had a
heavy chain stretched across from bank to
bank, nnd that the chain wns contractod
by tho extreme cold weather and tho Ico
has lodged against tho chain, and being
unable to pass over, it has formed th
gorgo." Tho abovo wo give ai wo got it
Iu tho upper Ohio thora Is no change to
report. All tho gorges hold fust and no
boats venturo above Puducah. Thuchnn
nol from hero to Paducah remains open
and thu packet arrives on time. Tho late
intervention to navigation has beon Ion
ger than wus ever known beforo to our
oldest citizens, and tho winter of '71 and
'72 will long be remembered by steamboat
men as the sovercst for many years. AI
tuougii navigation iron, mis port lias only
beon suspended for a short time
in comparison to other places,
wo greatly feel what an essential thing for
the welfaro of our city tho .Mississippi
river is, and only hope that the present
gorgo below hero is tiie Ust onn that will
ever occur.
IIUDINESS AND WEATHER.
Tho levoo still presents rather n grave
yard appearance nnd businoss was nearly
on natund still. Tho wharfbonta nro lond-
ed down to their greatest capacity with
freight for the south, and the " boys " aro

The weathor yesterday was indeed
dreadful ; n cold drizzling rain fell during
tho entire day, and tho wind caino direct
from the north, making it quite cold.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
The Idlowild was towed along sido tho
Bismarck yesterday nnd took on bonrd
ono hundred hogshead sugar nnd n lot of

Tho Arkansas Hello raised steam and

Tho Commonwealth took on board 10
