Affairs Of Lfberin.

In looking over the annual report Of the
American Colonisation Society, submitted at
the recent meeting in Washington City, the
National lntelligencer notices the following
facts In regard to the condition Of affairs in the
Republic of Liberia: 3-
General peace and prosperity nave pre-
vailed throughout the past year, and the in
habitants are happy in the prosecution Of
their various vacations. Great attention has
been paid to the cultivation ofgthe soil, and
this branch Of business is daily becoming
better appreciated than it has been hereto
fore. The banks Of its principal rivers
will soon present a beautiful prospect,
adorned with rich fields OF rice, sugar cane,
and coffee; and the cultivation Of ginger,
pepper. and arrow-root is engaging general
attention. Considerable quantities Of these
articles have been exported, but it is thought
that coffee will be one Of the most valuable
productions Of the Republic. 1t is easy oil
cultivation, yields small crop in three and
large one in five years after being planted
and its quality has been pronounced by
competent judges equal to any in the world
Much attention has been devoted to the
cause Of education, and the religious con
dition of the people is all that could b.
expected. From present prospects no limi
can be fixed to the good influence which
Liberia and her institutions can exert, no
only upon the native tribes, but the entir'
temporal and spiritual regeneration o
Africa.

The DahIIas Of Mexico md the Gold el
Ophtr.

The New York correspondent Of the Nation.
al IuteIigencer, indhlges in some curious spec
ulations in reference 10 the identity Of Califor-
mia and the ancient Ophir, where the gold dig
gers of old obtained the immense quantities Of
gold, in the construction Of the temple. The
writer says:
The London Magazine Of Science, Of
last month, says that in the Travels OF Lord
Lindsay, it is stated, that during his wan
derings in Egypt, he discovered mummy,
which the hieroglyphics upon it proved to
be more than two thousand years old. In
one of its closed hands he found dubious
root, which he carried home and deposited
in sunny soil, In few weeks it sprout-
ed, grew, and finally blossomed into beau
tilul dahlia. As the dahlia has usually been
considered native only in Mexico and South
America, this solitary blossom from the
hand of the Egyptian mummy, may per
haps be called up as beautiful witness in
confederation OF the idea that the inhabi
tants of the Old World las it is called
once had communication with the western
continent. And granting that question set
tied in the affirmative, another still lies be
hind it, more difficult perhaps Of solution
viz: was the dahlia originally transferred
from Mexico to Egypt, or from Egypt t.
Mexico? The presumption is, that as Mex
co has been the accredited home Of thu
dablia in modern times, it was also its hom
| in the earlier age OF the world.
As collateral Item in reference 10 tn
idea of ancient communication between tn
old world and the new, an argument i
raised to show that the gold OF Ophir,' G
Scripture celebrity, came from Californis
Major Noah, in his last "Sunday Times,
goes into the argument TO considerable el

and ornaments Of Solomon's temple, tn

were sent for the gold, and various otht
considerations, that il was California gol
that so wonderfully and magni6cently ell

Major states the cost Of the temple at u
wards Of four hundred and fifty millions
pounds sterling-a sum hardly to be cor

Hiram Of Tyre, for the gold and treasul
of Ophir, required three years 10 make d
