Tins firm not only enjoys a high stand
iug in the commercial world, hut pos
sesses peculiar facilities for preparing
so gigantic a work, embracing the husi
iu\ss interests o( tho whole country.
We are, therefore, not surprised to
learn from Mr. Ben tel, who has been
entrusted with the canvass of our
State, that his expectations of liberality
and confidence on the part of our husi
ness men are fully realized. He, with
his assistants, will remain in Augusta
two more days, giving all our business

names properly entered.
The Miuxhant of Berlin.— We
have just glanced over anew book, and
one of peculiar interest, at this time, to
all who sorrow for the lost cause, or who
truly appreciate the suffering and the
heroism by which they, who so nobly
sustained it, acquired imperishable
glnrv.
W o refer to “ The Merchant of Rcr
lin, by L. MOhlbaek, author of Fred
erick the Great and his Court: trans
lated from the German, by Amorv
Collin, M. D., of Aiken, S. C., and pub
lished by D. Appleton A Cos., New York.
1 his novel, which is founded on the
events ot the Seven Year's War, is
one of thrilling interest. The horrors
of war—of that terrible war—are viv
idly portrayed; while the touching
story of the loves of Bertram and Elise
is so gracefully and happily blended
with the plot, as to convince every one
that the " Merchant of Berlin” is one of
our author's happiest efforts. The fame
ot Mu dback is beyond cavil, while the
translator, a gentleman of high literary
acquirements, having spent many years
ot his life in Germany, among the
scenes he describes, lias executed his
task in such a manner as to satisfy the
most critical judgment.
It is, indeed, a charming hook, and
one of the latest, ot the season, well
adapted also for a choice Christmas
literary gift. Go to G. A. Oates and
get a copy at onco.

Washington, Dec. 20 —I’. M.
The President communicated to Con
gress to-day, in obedience to the call ot
the House, a voluminous correspondence
with Santa Anna, and concerning Orte
ga. The mass of it is uninteresting, or
lias been anticipated. The most inter
esting feature is the persistent efforts of
Santa Anna to have himself recognized.
He says ill his letter of June last to Mr.
Seward ’■ “You will please receive Capt.
H. 8. Eytinge as Envoy, on most impor
tant business of mutual interest to the
two Republics.” In his letter of August
the 10th, he calls Juarez “a chief of one
of the several bands.”
Mr. Seward, in his letter of August
the 10th, says : I have had the honor to
receive from General Santa Anna, foi
merly President of Mexico, a commmii
cation stating that he would like to visit
Washington if lie could bo received as a
private gentleman by the Secretary of
State. A reception ot the General in
an august capacity would be incompati
ble with tbc settled practice and habits
ol the United Slates. Ou the Bth of
December Mr. Seward informs General
Santa Anna that the correspondence lie
bad opened could not be continued. In
the meantime Mr. Seward received a
letter from the General s nephew, in
timating that Santa Anna was insane,
and begging advice, which Mr. Seward
declined giving.
M ashington, Dee. 20.
At the session of the Southern Rcpub;
lican Association on the l«th of Do
comber, resolutions and a memorial, to
the following effect, were adopted:
Whereas, Texas, Louisiana, Arkan
sas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia,
North Carolina, Virginia, South Caro
lina. and Florida] in warring with the
United States, were subjugated :
Resolved, That the Government of
the States named has ceasd to exist.
Resolved, That Congress having provid
ed no Government, the people have
passed under the authority of the Presi
dent, as Commander-in-Chief.
Resolved. The President’s duty is lim
ited to holding the people in control
until the will of Congress is promul
gated.
llesolae<l, In calling bodies together
for framing Constitutions, the Com
mantler in-Chief transcended his powers,
and the Governnn nts thus instituted
are invalid.
Resolved, It is the duty of Congress
to substitute Governments founded on
Republican principles, calculated to
protect the life, liberty, property, and
uatural rights of the inhabitants, and
restrain and punish evil disposed ene
lilies of the Government.
Resolved, Among the principles if
new State Governments are the right ot
suffrage, eligibility to office of all citi
zens, regardless of race or color. The
exclusion, until relieved by Congress
iron) suffrage, and from office of trust,
honor, and profit, whether Federal.
State, Territorial or Municipal, office
holders under Confederate or State
power or authority, proclaimed hv Con
gress or the Executive as insurrectiona
ry, whether said office be civil or mi!i
tary. Also, all persons who voted for
the Ordinances of Secession or gave it
aid and comfort.
Resolved, That the Association recom
mends the immediate call of State Con
ventions to fiame Constitutions or the
institution of preliminary establishments
analogous to territorial Governments.
’The memorial sets forth, in six closely
printed pages the history of the origin,
course, and termination of the war;
describing in strong terms the past
disadvantages and present sufferings of
their party, and pleading they say, not
for ourselves and fellow sufferers only,
but for our still bleeding country. The
memorial concludes: We ask for early
speedy, sharp, short and decisive action,
and we ask it in the names ami behalf
of the millions of devoted friends ot the
Union, inhabiting the best part of the
continent, no one of whom can claim
that he enjoys the blessings of even a
Republican Government, or the security
which the Constitution of the United
States guarantees to the citizens.
Therefore your memo: ialis s herewith
submit the resolutions of our Association
and respectfully admonish Congress of
the danger and increased complications
of delay. They pray your honorable
bodies for immediate action, in accord
ance with the principles announced.
Justice, mercy, and the National security
alike, demand the remedy. The docu
ment is signed by Thomas J. Durant,
President ; Daniel 11. Bingham, S-cre
tary.

Arrests of Fenians continue in Ireland
The Cork Examiner, editorially, severely
criticises the recent manifesto issued by
the Orangemen. It says, if such mani
festos are to be repeated every month,
if assemblages of men who get up plans
of ranine and bloodshed are permitted,
how is the peace of Ireland to be pre
served. Should the Government be
guilty of the fatal blunder of seeming to
give countenance to the Orangemen as
a constitutional force, it will drive into
the ranks of the disaffected in Ireland
many who now stand aloof. The Gov
ernment ought to be strong cm ugh to
dispense with tainted aid. There are
already too many brands burning in
Ireland. Let not another be added to
the conflagration.
News from the Continent is unim
portant.
The Java sailed for Boston at 8
o'clock this morning.
