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. [’ The Augusta Weekly Press— containing all the News, Market Re j port?, Editorials, and other interesting i matter of the Daily Press—will be ‘ issued ou Saturday, the 2d of Jan- • uary, 1869, mid continued iejfidnrly “ everv Saturd«» - morning thereafter.

This body will assemble at Atlanta, i on the 13th day of January, 1869. 3 Congress reassembles on the sth, and ’ it is presumed will enter actively into ’ the consideration of Georgia atiairs. _ No matter how much haste may char j acterme their proceedings they cannot pass any bill which will become a law ■ before the Legislature, which, as at ' present constituted, is Democratic, has , had an opportunity to make itself heard. As to the line of policy which > the leaders will lay down for tbemem ! l>ers nothing is as yetpositively known. ! Whatever the party agrees upon, it will, of course, act with characteristic p unity. Some think they will volnnta . rily propose to reseat the colored mem- > liers; but this is extremely doubtful. • Aside from the principle which they • say is involved, the “new iuue” will 1 be loth to relinquish their little nine dollars per day. • i The better opinion seems to be that ’ the Legislature will, jji its official ca j parity, reply to the memorial of Gov ernor Bullock to Congress, and will devise some plan presenting rebutting testimony to that which represents the , people as antagonistic to the Govcm -1 pwkrt of the Tnited States. The fight , is hardly begun at this time, and bids fair to become very lively before the end is reached. The Erie Railroad Company have adopted a reform which should be Al lowed by every railroad company in the country, and that is, to advertise 4br all railroad supplies, instead ofpur •flwsiug by private contract. ■iecellaneoni Editorial Items. . lb the assumption tlint the officers |oi the Government, selected to dit i cover revenue frauds, would connive 1 with violators of the law if they hail ]no more substantial indticerncnt than $3,00n per annum to perforin their duty, the Treasury Department allows ' a moity to the officer who may seise I goods subject to confiscation. We mentioned some days since the seizure l of an immense quantity of tobacco which had not paid the Government, by C. E. Crkecy, just appointed | Revenue .Supervisor for Louisiana. In accordance with the seize and-riivide arrangement of the Department, it is stated that Mr, Cree< y will receive I by this one grab the sung little sum lof $26,000. It would seem the Gov- I eminent is no great gainer even when ’ stupendous robberies of the Treasury are detected. It was so with cotton sections just after the war. Mr. Samuel Bowles, the distin guished editor of the Springfield (Mass.) Hepubliean, was the victim of agreat legal outrage, in New York city, on the night of the 22d. Mr. James Fisk, Jr., a Wall street and Railroad stock gambler, had him ar rested for libel at an hour of the night when ho knew he would compel Mr. Bowles to remain in Ludlow street jail all night. The entire press of New York city, and of the North, have denounced the unprincipled stock gambling operations of Mr. Fisk, and we have no doubt he will find that a free press is more than a match for even such bloated money kings as himself. The country is at last advised as to the mission of Caleb Cushixg. He has not gone to Spain to negotiate for the purchase of Cuba. Panama advices inform us that he had arrived by the steamship Bogota. General Cushing’s mission is one of such urgent importance that Consul Rice immediately forwarded him to Car thagina on the U. S. steamer-of-war Yantic, which wa? at Aspinwall at the time, so that no delay might occur in reaching his destination. There is no doubt that the object of Mr. Cush ing’s mission is in reference to the much-talked-of Isthmus Canal. The editor of the Macon Journal <fc Messenger has had an interview with the Hon. Nelson Tift, Demo cratic member of Congress from the 2d District. It is the opinion of Mr. Tift that “the Edmund’s bill, which makes the State Government provi sional in its nature, is a foregone con clusion, unless the Congressional ma jority can be divided by the substitu tion therefor of some other measure.” According to a statement of Oliver Dwyer, the “wickedest” writer, or, at least, a writer that gives a gilt edge to the acts of the most debased criminals, litigants in the Courts of I New York eity,who wish to win their suits, are forced to employ as counsel the particular personal friend of the Judge liefore whoia the case is to be tried. In this way persons can resort ’ to law with a reasonable certainty of ’ throwing their opponents. ■ The Common Council of. Brooklyn have agreed to subscribe $3,000,000 of the $5,000,000 stock required to erect a suspension bridge over the East River, connecting Brooklyn w ith New York city. It is said that Ben Butler has come into possession of photographs of tw o genuine Ku-Klux. If they are , as handsome as Ben, they will do for public exhibition. ( The Ramie Plant.,—A writer in . the New York Bulletin says of the new vegetable product called Ramie: The fibre is much finer and stronger than the best flax, and after the cleans - ing process, is said to become very i soft and white, taking colors as readily [• as the finest wool or silk. The samples L of cloth, made entirely from the Ra 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 deficiency in the great staple of the . south. Lace Cotton. —A variety of cotton, called lace cotton, is being intro duced in some parts of Texas, and is likely to be extensively raised. It is said to be superior to any other variety for poor soil for uplands, having a strong, healthy growth, and 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.

IL l\ u hc • Il »> hapitcns this year that St. John, Uir Evangelist day, happen- to be on Sunday It may, therefore, he appropriate to connect Itellglon with Masonry by publishing the Essay for the names of God in your paper. The ideas are not original, but compositions from Jewish and Masonic autliors. 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. [From our own Ootreqwident. Our Washington Letter. Washington, Dee. 23, 1868. Congress has adjourned and while imusy of the members have gone away, more remain here to attend to the preparation of business to lay betore that ixxly when it reassembles. This tact keeps the lobby here in force, and conseqently Washington is ‘not as dull as is usual at these periods. Tho mysterious disappearance of Caleb Cushing, awl the object of his mission obroad, it he has one, con tin tic* to excite uiiicli comment in political tiicltn. Mr. Seward, who, it ik believed, know* zdl about the mattar, when approached, ia proto* kingly "ilcnt a* to the mo< important point. The «piid-nnncK, however, 'till believe that Caleb ha* a mission. The Committee hating Georgia affairs in charge, continues to take testimony. An abundant opportunity w ill l>e. afforded for both sides to present their case before any report at all will ho made. 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 (Mass.) Spy has come to grief. Ho ventured to promulgate a rumor as to the Alaska swindle, and so far as de veloped there was little or no founda tion for the statement made by him. The New York press are consequently down on him for publishing rumors, when it is a notorious fact that more than one-half of the dispatches sent from this city to the New York papers 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 status in New York city satisfactory to himself, has decided to make a trial of the capital. Yesterday he paid $40,000 cash for a house just erected at the corner of Fifteenth and If streets. It is complete with every modern convenience. Here he intends during the fashionable season to enter tain the creme de la creme of the Capital, if they will condescend to forget the past in view of his present success financially and politically. Senator Harris, though his term expired some time ago, continues to invest in valuable property here, as if intending to make this city his perma nent abode. Other prominent men arc also investing largely, indicating that Washington property is to in crease greatly in value. Secretary McCulloch, upon retiring from the Treasury Bureau, will un doubtedly accept a partnership in a well known foreign banking establish ment, and if no mishap occurs he will return to his native land twenty years hence a Peabody or a Baring. The Indian ring sought to break the damaging effect to their cause pro duced by the movements of Sheridan and Custer, by promulgating that the Indians attacked were friendly to the whites. We have now overwhelming evidence that the party attacked were among the most daring and treacher ous of the race, aud their acts of atrocity on the border extend through a period of years, while at the same time some of them were receiving aid from the Government. Capital, - 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. SPECIAL NOTICES Assistant Supkrintendent's Ovfick,) GEORGIA RAILROAD, f Augusta, Ga., December 24th, 1868.) 335?
