- -- bind it more difficult perhaps of solution, viz: was the dahlia originally transferred from Mexico to Egypt, or from Egypt to Mexico I'he presumption is, that as Mexico has been the accredited home of the dahlia in modem times, it was also its home in the earlier age of the world. As a collateral item in reference to the idea oi ancient communication between the old world and the new, an argument is raised to show the “ gold of Ophir,” of Scripture ce lebrity, came from California. Major Noah, in his last “Sunday Times,” goes into the ar gument to considerable extent, atm inters, from the vast amount of the gold of Ophir used in the construction and ornaments of Solo mon's temple, the length of the voyages of the .hips which were sent for the gold, and vari ous other considerations, that it was Califor nia gold that so wonderfully and magnificently enriched the famous temple of antiquity. The Major states the cost of the temple at up wards of four hundred and fifty millions of pounds sterling—a sum hardly to be compar ed with any financial account on record, ex cept the national debt of Great Britain. The ships sent by Solomon and Hiram of Tyre for the gold and treasures of Ophir required three years to make the voyage would seem to cor respond very well with the distance to Califor fornia. Major Noah therefore concludes that ancient Ophir and modern California are one and the same place. The conclusion does not exactly amount to a geometrical demonstra tion, but it affords material for curious spe culation worth placing by the side of Lord Lindsay’s dahlia. Col. J. K. F. Mansfield. —The gallant Col. J. K. F. Mansfield, so much distinguished in the Mexican War, as the Head Engineer of the corps of Gen. Taylor’s army, has arrived in this city and is now at the Mansion House. Col. Mansfield was in all Gen. Taylor’s bat tles, and won universal applause for his skill and courage. He it was, who, at Monterey, after being wounded in the leg, was searching around for some assailable point of the ene my, and discovered a battery, which he thought out to be carried. He accordingly addressed Col. Jefferson Davis, recommending him to make the attack. “Very well,” said Davis, not recognizing the Engineer-in-Chief in his plain clothes ; —“ but who are you, who advise it r” “lam Major Mansfield, of the Engineers,” was the reply. “ Enough said.” replied the brave Mississippian; “it shall be done,” —and it was done. Col. Mansfield is here on duty, as one of the Board of Engineers for a military exami nation of the Coast of Florida; and is to be joined in a day or two by Col. R. E. Scott, Chief Engineer under Gen. Scott’s command, —Col. De Kussey, Superintendent of West Point, and Major Delafield—who will togeth er constitute the board of examination Mo bile Register, 2 6th inst. It is said that Sir Henry Bishop, the mu sical composer, with his children, is about to visit this country. He is the husband of Madame Bishop, the vocalist, who has been for some time in this country. She, however, doped from him, and placed herself under the protection of Signor Botscha, with whom she still travels. Powers’s celebrated statue of the Greek Slave—Powers’s own—arrived at Louisville on the 10th inst. During its exhibition at Cincinnati it was visited by about twelve thousand persons, and the income arising from its exhibition was something like three thousand dollars.

W« i i received no despatch ourselves, but learn that during th< 1 first week in January the sales in Liverpool were heavy i at | a I advance ; but during the second week tire de mand fell off, and sales were effected at a slight decline . from the prices paid the previous week. The sales thi - vveek have been to a moderate extent, compared with . the preceding two weeks, and generally in favor ot the 1 buyer, although most holders are firm at the quotations • of last week. The receipts continue heavy, and the ar e ! tide is freely offered. Os the receipts from Alabama, - | which are on the increase, we are pleased to notice that - j the packages are much superior to those of last sea y ! son, as is also the qualtity, exhibiting more care in • ginning, and several lots from that quarter ha\e - brought the highest prices paid in this market.— f The shipments this month have been heavy, and our - warehouses and wharves are filled with Cotton await - ing transportation to the seaboard. The sales sum up B 3,570 bales as follows; sat 5,9 at SJ, 5'2 at s\, 88 at SJ, r sat 5 7-16, 78 at 54, 157 at s|, 7ats II 16, 397 at SJ, 147 2 at s|, 145 at 5 15-16, 658 at 6. 114 at 6 1-16, 454 at 6J, 34 - at 6 3-16, 555 at 6J, 10b at 6 5-16, 304 at 6g, and 170 at • t»X cents.

For instance, if we notice the sale of 100 or 1,000 sacks of Halt from the wharf, at $1 ,50, they must not expert to purchase by the sack i from the merchant at the same price —he generally has to pay cash or give short time paper, and it will cost him all of Jive centt per sack to get it from tiie wharf to his i store. j GROCERIES.—There has been a fair business done 1 tliis week in the Grocery line, but confined principally j to supplying small country orders and city retailers. I There is no scarcity of any article that we hear of, and i our merchants keep up their stocks, which they are i selling at a slight advance on cost. BAGGING—The stock of all descriptions is getting light, and but little remains in first hands. Gunny : Is now selling at 2! a 22 cents by the piece, principally at the latter price, and Kentucky at 19 cents. BALK ROPE.—This article is also getting scarce, and Kentucky meets with ready sale within the range of quotations. CORN. —There continues a good demand for export 1 and for home consumption, and the quantity arriving is light. The few sales made this week have been at 45 cents without the sack, which rate we now quote. Retailing from stores at 50 a 62 cents per bushel. Oats —A sale of 200 bushels have been rejioried to us this week at 35c. per bushel. FLOUR.—The supply of this article is limited, and i there is a good enquiry for good brands, which bring readily .$6.50 a $5.75 per bbl. Common is difficult to I get off, as there is little or no demand for this descrip ; tion. POTATOES.—The supply of Northern is light and i holders are asking week of Cherokee and Tennessee Potatoes, the tatter put up in good order and a fair article, brought readily ; §3 per bbl. Those received from Cherokee Georgia 1 were of Inferior quality and not in merchantable condi tion. This is an article if our friends in Cherokee will pay a little attention to they can not only command this market, but others. To insure this, however, they must be careful and put them in good packages, and send,the best of their produce—a good article will meet with ready sale, when an inferior cannot be given away. The freight on both are the same, and our friends in the country will see it is to their interest to send the best to market. j BACON—There is some enquiry for this article,and i a lot of good would readily bring 6.1 a 6J cents the hog j round. Good new Bacon is scarce and much wanted. A ' ! lot of 2000 lbs. ordinary, was sold this week at G\ cents i LARD.—Fair supply on hand, with but a limited de | mand. Tlie few sales making have been at 7 to 7\ j cents. SPIRITS.—Market well supplied with all descrip tions, and the sales made within the range of our quo tations. SUGAR.—Stock of all kinds good. VVe would refer to quotations for prices. SALT.—Sales have been reported to us this week of about 1,500 sacks at $1,37 from the wharf. From stores selling at $1,50 per sack, and louse at 48 cents per bush > el. The stock on hand is fully equal t» the demand. • 2,000 sacks were sold yesterday, from wharf, at $1.32. ■ COFFEE.—There is a good demand for all descrip tions, and prices have an upward tendency. Sales have been reported to us this week of about 300 bags Ilio, in lots, at 7 a 74 cents. EXCHANGE. —The Bank rate for sight checks on j Now York is 4 jier cent prem. FREIGHTS.—The river is in good boating order, and any quantity of Cotton is offering for Savannah. VVe • have no change to notice in the rates to Savannah or Charleston. To the former more is offering than can be taken off at 124 cents per 100 lbs. CHARLESTON, Jan. 30.— Colton. —The mar ket was again quiet yesterday. Dealers are wait ing the arrival of advices from the other side.— The sales reached 900 bales, at prices ranging from to 7c. The demand was confined mostly to the middling and lower qualities. Prices with out change. Rice. — The sales reached 600 a 700 tierces at former prices. The operations were at prices with ? in the range of 2| a per hundred. I SAVANNAH.

FOUCHE, as Editor, and A. HOOD, who have jointly purchased The Georgia Pio j neek fortius purpose. The first number of THE SOI THERNER will be issued on the first of March. It is our purpose to establish a journal worthy to be considered an organ of the Republican Party', not only of our sec tion. but of the entire State and the whole South. in constitutional interpretations we are strict i constructionists. We are advocates for the most j complete freedom of labor, and the most unre stricted freedom of trade, both foreign and internal. ; For the absolute equality of till ciiizens before the I law, and of the Slates as members of the Union— for the preservation of the Union upon the priori- j pies and the terms on which it was founded. We i are against every thing which conflicts with these ! I cardinal principles anil objects. Against raonopo- ! ly in all its Protean forms, no matter whether its i chartered privileges are the offspring of state or i federal legislation. We are the friends and advocates of sound pub lic morals; of a liberal diffusion of the means of ! education among the people, and of pure and un ! defiled religion. These great interests, will, at all | times, command our most cordial and zealous sup port. We shall avail ourselves of our position at the i terminus ol a long line of Rail Road, to obtain from the cities on the seaboard the earliest Commercial j intelligence, and to keep our patrons constantly ad vised of the stale of prices In the several cities to which they trade, and in foreign markets. Regarding Agriculture as the most useful, and therefore the most honorable of haman pursuits, and as the basis ol all individual and national wealth.it will occupy a prominent place in our ; thoughts, and the columns of our journal. We do not come from the North to teach agriculture to the South. We are ourselves native Southrons, ami I have a practical acquaintance with the “corn -1 field” and cotton patch.” We come before the public at a period of pro found interest and solicitude, in its political and so cial aspects, both at home and abroad. We start with the advent of a new Administration of the Federal Government: ami at in era of revolution i in the Commercial, Social and Political systems of Europe. Our position, politically, is w th the Republican— -1 j the Democratic or popular party commercially, with the advocates of freedi m of labor and of trade : and geographically in the heart of the polit ical Flanders or battle ground of Georgia and Ala bama —a country of wonderful Agricultural and ! Manufacturing capacities, and of vast mineral re | sources. We ask from our friends, and the friends of our principles, every'where South, a support ( I commensurate with the value of those principles, and the importance of our position. We shall - i spare no effort to merit all we a k. Our terras will he for a single copy of THE SOUTHERNER in advance, $2.50 within the year, and $3 if not paid within the year.
