TO THE PUBLIC.
On the first of January, 1809, the
Augusta Daily Prßss will be re
sinned, mid its publication continued
thereafter as an Independent News,
Commercial and Agricultural Journal.
The Daily Press will be published
by Col. C. R. Hanleiter, a gentle
man whose name is familiar to the
people of the State, as the editor and
proprietor of the Southern Miscel
lany and National American, at At
lanta, from 1842 to 1861, and whose
superiority as a newspaper manager
is recognized by the profession
throughout the entire South.
The Local and Commercial depart
ment, which will be a speciality of the
paper, will be under the general super
vision of Mr. John M. Weigle, a
Southron by birth ami education, and
who has been personally known from
childhood to all our people, as a steady,
upright, intelligent and honorable
member of the community.
The DailvPress will notchampion
any politician or political organization.
It will be halep< indent in its comments
on current events. It will reserve the
right to commend that which is com-
■ mendable, and to rebuke, in dignified
language, that which maybe detrimen
tal to the public interests. To con-
• tribute to the restoration of the old
' fashioned prosperity of Georgia, and
• the happiness of its people, and to
I publish the beet and cheapest newspu-
per in the State, will be the highest
, ambition of all connected with it. I
1 Only ask that the paper shall be judged
t, , .
( by its merits.

This body will assemble at Atlanta,

[• as the finest wool or silk. The samples

mie, resembling the best grades •of
poplin or silk, in their strength, tex
• ture aud brilliancy. We know too
little as yet of the Ramie plant in this
. country, however, to estimate the
effect of its introduction as a brauch of
agricultural industry. It is claimed
that it is well adapted to withstand the
southern climate ami other influences
which have so important an effect on
i the production of cotton. Should re-
sults justify the expectations, this new
product may take the place of cotton,
in some sections, and thus supply the

Lace Cotton. —A variety of cotton,
called lace cotton, is being intro

yielding heavily. Its strength is
equal to a strain of seven and a half
pounds to each thread, while a simi
lar thread of the best American
cotton will only lift five pound's.
Those who have examined it say that
it resembles Egyptian cotton, which is
worth in England a quarter snore than
American. Good results are antici
pated from a cultivation of this varie
ty of cotton.

Fraternally yours,
Augusta. Ga., December 22, 186 s.
AN ESSAY ON THE NAMES
OF GOD.
All the names of God found in the
sacred books are generally derived
from actions. A single name must be
excepted ; it is the one written thus :
god, he, vac, he ; for it is a name im
provised, or, in other words, desig
nating God, from its origin, which
means that it expressly indicates the
essence of God, and that it is not
homonymic. His other glorious names
designate Him by homonymy; for
they aro derived from certain actions.
The name Ad<)nai even, which is sub
stituted for god, he, vac, he, is like
wise derivative, containing the idea of
lordship. The others as Hag yon
(judge), Tzaddik (just), Channun
(gracious), Hachwn, (merciful), Elo
him, are evidently common, and deri
vative names. But the name which is
spelled god, he, vav, he, lias no known
etymology, and applies to no other
being. All the other names indicate
attributes—that is, they do not indi.
catc an essence merely, but an essence
having attributes, for they arc deriva.
five, and thus they cause a belief in
the multiplicity of God—that is, they
cause the belief that there arc attri
butes, and that there is an essence and
something added to the essence. In
deed, this is the signification of every
derivative name; for it indicates a
certain idea and a subject not ex
pressed, to which this idea is joined.
Now - , as it has been demonstrated that
God is not a subject to whom certain
ideas arc joined, it follows that the
derivative names are given to God
cither to attribute action to Him, or
to lead us to recognize His perfection.
These- names of God, derived from
His actions, being multiplied, caused
certain men to believe that there
were attributes as numerous as the
actions from which they arc derived;
wherefore it has been predicted that
men w ill obtain a perception that will
cause this error to cease from among
them, and it was therefore said by the
prophet Zachariah, in chapter xiv,
verse 9: “On that day the Eternal will
be One, and His name will be One"—
that is to say, just as Ho is One, so
will He then be invoked by a single
name, that which alone indicates the
essence of God; and this will not be a
derivative name, but the Tetragram
ouatou, the word of four letters, god,
he,vac, he. In tho Pirki llabbi Eliezer,
a work of a celebrated Talmudist, it
is said: “Before the creation of the
world, there existed only the Most
Holy and His name.” The meaning
of this Rabbi was, that the derivative
names all originated after the creation
of the world, and this is true; for
they arc all names w ith
reference to the actions of God met
with in the universe; but if we con
siderllis essence stripped and deprived
of every action, He has absolutely no
derivative name, but a single impro
vised name to indicate His essence.
We possess no name that is not deriv
ative, except the latter—that is to say,
god, he, vav, he, which is the absolute
shem haninbcphorarh, the tetragram
matic- name, which is written, but not
read according to its letters. 'Hie
Grand, Elect, Perfect and Sublime
Masons tell us that the pronunciation
varied among the patriarchs in differ
ent ages. Methuselah, Lamech and
Noah pronounced it Juha; Shein,
Arphaxad, Selah, Heber and Pcieg
pronounced it Java; Ren, Scrug,
Nabor, Terali, Abraham, Isaac and
Judah called it- Java ; by Aminadab
and Narsbon, .Pevah; by Salmon,
Boaz and Obed, .Pohc ; by Jesse and
David, Jehovah, and they imply that
none of these was the right pronun
ciation, which was only 7 in the posses
sion of Enoch, Jacob and Aloses,
whose names are therefore not men
tioned in this list.
The Hebrew substantive verb Z«m,
which is Ehejeh, commences with
'•Aleph," the first letter in the alpha
bet, or 1, the beginning of numbers,
and Jehovah with yod or 10, the end
of numbers, which signifies that God
wa« the beginning and end of all
I things.

Senator Abbott, of North Carolina,
a few days since, introduced a bill to
remunerate the loyal men of the
South for quartermaster ami com
missary property seized during the
war. As there is a strong proba
bility of this bill becoming a law, it
behooves the men who remained true
to the flag during the times that tried
men’s souls, and where, to be loyal to
the nation, cost something, to be pre
paring their documents at the earliest
possible moment.
The correspondent of the Worcester

The New York press are consequently
down on him for publishing rumors,
when it is a notorious fact that more

by their own correspondents are of the
same class as the dispatch to which so
much objection is now made.
Fernando Wood, failing to obtain
by means of his great wealth a social

modern convenience. Here he intends
during the fashionable season to enter

Capital, if they will condescend to

-
The Georgia Imbroglio.
We publish the following somewhat
elaborate editorial from the New York
JVmes, as an indication of the tenor of
the feelings of the so-called moderate
Northern Republicans. As we state
elsewhere, the policy of the Georgia
Democracy lias not yet developed it
self, but probably' will in a week or
two. Everything on this subject is of
absorbing- interest to the people, and
as a faithful public journalist we ex
pect to keep them thoroughly posted:
If Congress interfere at all in the compli
cations occasioned by the expulsion of col
ored members from the Georgia Legislature,
there will be difficulty' in resisting the princi
ple of Senator Edmunds’ bill.
The expediency of interfering in any
shape is the point to be first decided. A
proper aversion is felt to any' Congressional
action that shall imply further meddling with
The wisest friends of that
policy arc they who would allow it un
checked development—who. having affirmed
certain principles, and provided for their ap
plication by certain methods, would now do
nothing to cast a doubt upon the sufficiency
of cither. Six States have been fully re
stored to representation under the working of
the law, and from this fact may be inferred
the adequacy of the law as it 4s to meet
emergencies in the States not yet restored.
On the other baud, Congress can scarcely
be expected to aequtesKX) in the claims urged
in behalf of Georgia, whose Legislature,
nominally' reconstructed, has set at tiefiance
a fundamental principle of the Constitutional
Amendment, to which the whole process <ff
reconstruction is subjected. If it be shown,
for instance, that a requirement of this
amendment was disregarded in the organiza
tion of the Legislature, and that iu conse
quence the Democratic members acquired
ihe power they abused, the friends of the
Congressional policy may well object to the
claim for admission as in effect a fraud.
They cannot afford to recognize the validity
of proceedings which at the outset nullify
one of the distinctive principles of the recon
struction policy.
The possibility of effective interference is
another consideration that must enter into
any judgment to be formed upon the case.
Had the restoration of Georgia been com
pleted, the authority of Congress over it
would have ceased. Had the Senate so far
recognized the standing of the State as to
admit its Senators to their seats, we are at a
loss to sec what could have been done toward
exacting compliance with conditions broken
by the Legislature. But this stage bits not
been reached. Georgia has not been rein
stated in its Congressional representation.
To this extent, its restoration is unfinished,
and the right of the Senate to judge abso
lutely of the qualifications of its members,
enables it to exercise an indirect control over
the local action. This right the Senate has
asserted. The Georgia Senators are kept out
in the cold. And so, we presume, they will
be until the general question be settled?
But if Congress may exclude those whom
Georgia sends as her Heprcscntatives and
Senators, may it not go further and deal with
the matter which form in part the ground of
exclusion ? in ordinary circumstances con
gressional authority would not go behind the
qualifications of the individual and the legal
ity of his election. Any pretension involving
authority over the composition of the local
government or its measures, in regard to
local affairs would fall to the ground. The
case of Georgia, however, like that of every
other Stalpcmbraced within the Reconstruc
tion acts, is exceptional. And no great stretch
ot authority is needed to supplement the non
adnussioti of Senators because of the violence
done to law by the Legislature that elected
them, with n measure designed to vindicate
U>c law and to place the Reconstruction of !
th* Stale upon a comtituUomd Imsla. The \
doing of this is not wanton interference with •
State concern*, it is neither more nor less *
than the vindication by Congress of its own
action, and the enforcement of term* which
the LvgisJMiire pretended to ratify. The
case is one of bwr faith on the iiart of the
Ixtgblatarc. the <k> iirreuce of whfch form* a
justification of the interferciiic contemplated I
by the measure now before .<.<■ Senate.
The Judiciary* Coutmiltce, to which the
question has Itccn referred, may be relied
upon to conduct a careful investigation, as
well into the allegations which are mode the
ground of interference, ns into the law on
which any interference must real. And this is
precisely what it is desirable to have done in
order that under the guise of upholding law
partisanhip may not assert pretensions which
neither law nor reason will sustain. The
necessity for caution is made greater by the
divided opinions of the Georgia Republicans,
and the warmth with which each section
imputes sinister motives to the other. If the
question to be decided involved only party
interests, it would not be worthy of attention.
It becomes pertinent only because of its re
lation to an implied contract, the spirit of
which one of the contracting parties has
clearly outraged ; nixl any authority which
Congress may' propose to exercise in the
premises should lie so obviously reasonable
and just that the country will not be able to
withhold its approval.
How Counterfeit Money is
Made. —A correspondent of the New-
York Suu says : No doubt you wiU
be surprised to learn the way the best
counterfeit bills arc gotten up. A
party of men, say from three to a
dozen, get together and hold frequent
meetings, and act according to a plan
laid down One or, two will find out
some copperplate printer in the em
ploy of the bank note printing office
—in fact, all such printers are known
by the party. These men will manage
to meet one of the printers in the
evening, get acquainted, di ink, and
have a good time generally with him,
and so proceed for a few evenings.
’J’hen they offer him from fifty to one
hundred and fifty dollars to procure a
certain kind of impression. This im
pression is made in this wise: The
printer will take an impression upon
the foil from the plate from which he
is printing, which can be done in a
moment. Thus, you see, every line
and size is obtained correctly. From
this tin foil an electrotype plate is
made. They then get some plate
printer that can be found about the
city, have a good time with him, and
engage him for twenty dollars per day
to do the printing. By' this plan
thousands of copies are struck off
which defy detection, except in the
quality of the paper, which will
slightly differ from the genuine. The
place of manufactory is generally
some distance from the city, like
Staten Island, Flatbush, or sometimes.
Baxter street, or similar localities in
the city. It is a strange fact, in every
case where a party of this kind exists,
that every- man lacks confidence in his
associates. Every move made by one
is narrowly watched by- the others of
the party. It would be death to any
informant or spy that did not look
well to himself.
