others then into their ruinous policy. They
are now trying the same means.
Think of it, Union meu ! Think of it, you
who have beeuealled submissionists, tones,
and soap tails in the past, just because you
would not admit that secession was the only
sovereign remedy for all evils. We tried the

Gen. Gordon is representing the disunion,
anti-reconstruction, anti relief elements all
combined, with all their noisy fury ou
the one side ; and Col. Bullock is repre
senting the Union, reconstruction, relief,

Georgia, which will you prefer? Union
men of Georgia, good men of all pat ties,
come forward like patriots and uuite with
us in giving peace and confidence to our
great old State. Our party rules the nation,
and will for years to come. Be not deceived
or frightened by the false cry of negao
domination and carpet bag rule. This ery
comes from hungry, disappointed office seek
ers, who, whenever it suits their purpose,
put forth carpet baggers for office (see their
congressional candidate fur the Ist district).
It comes from those who have no power,
wisdom or patriotism, and never will have
either.
If we are true to ourselves, our State is
safe. The powers of the Government are

gia on an equal footing with her sister
States, and when we are in power we will
prove to the world that Union men can and
will govern firmly, wisely, and well.
Georgians, Union men, Republicans, lie
construelionists, Relief men all, all unite and
rally for the good of the Union and the
salvation of your beloved State. Let your
rallying try he Bullock, the Constitution - ,

polled. Work unitedly uutil the polls close
on the 2;!d, and our word for it, all will be
well. Then will you have the gratification
of witnessing Georgia once more in the
Union, redeemed and regenerated.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Having been unanimously nominated for
the office of Governor, by a Convention fully
representing a large majority of the voters
of the State, I do not feel at liberty to disre
gard their wishes by refusing to accept the
great honor thus conferred.
My only desire is to be of service to the
whole people of our great State, with whom
my lot has been so long and so pleasantly
cast, in building up her waste places and in
reviving her prostrated, industrial and com
mercial system, under the benign influence
of a civil government, in which all her citi
zens may participate. To the consummation
of this object my every effort shall be
devoted.
The Constitution adopted by the late Con
vention is before you. It was my privilege
to aid in the formation of that instrument,
and thus to become familiar with not only
the letter of this fundamental law, but also
with the spirit and the intentions of those
unnecessary for me to enter into any state
ment of my political principles, other than
to say that I s'and fully committed to the
new Constitution, and have an earnest
desire to vitalize those great measures—the
“Relief ’’ and the “Homestead”—and thus
enable our ruined people to lake courage for
the future, with a full assurance that the
results of their labor shall be enjoyed by
themselves and their families.
It will be the duty of the General Assem
bly to provide a thorough system of educa
tion for the State.
If called by your votes to assume the
exalted position of your Chief Executive, it
will ho my duty, and no less a pleasure, to
nominate to the Senate, for confirmation,
persons whose past services, well established
character and ability, have secured fur them
selves the confidence of their fellow citizens
in .their respective districts, and whose fit
ness, by reason of their known intelligence
and moral worth, for the positions to which
they may be recommended, will ensure their
confirmation by the representatives of the
people,
“With malice toward none, with charity
for all,” looking only to the glory, peace, and
prosperity of our noble State, and the perpe
tuity of free, civil government throughout
the land, I have the honor to be your fellow
citizen, R. B. Bullock.

I. The numerous resignations of Sheriff's of coun
ties in the State of Georgia, that have recently
been tendered at these Headquarters, coming ou
tlie eve of an important election, and when there
is not sufficient time to make now appointments,
makes it proper and necessary for tho Command

ot the Commanding General, will not lie permitted
to resign until after said election is over ; and they

General Orders No. 58.
I. The uncertainty which seems to exist in re
gard to holding municipal elections on the 20th
inst., and the frequent inquiries addressed to these
Headquarters, renders it necessary for the Com
manding General to announce that said elections
are not aphorized by any orders from these Head*
q uaiters. Managers of election? are hereby pro
hibited from receiving any votes for any offices
except such State and County offices as are provi
ded for in the Constitution to be submitted for rati
fication—the voting for VMiieli officers is authorized
by General Orders Nos. 50 and 52.
II Complaints having been made to these Head
quarters, oy planters and others, that improper
means are being used to compel laborers to leave
their work to attend political meetings, and threats
being made that in case of refusal penalties will be
attached to said refusal; the Major General Com
manding announces that all such attempts to con
trol the movement of laborers, and interfere with
the rights of employers, is strictly forbidden, and
will be considered, and on conviction will be pun
ished, the same as any attempt to dissuade and pre
vent voters from going to the polls, as referred to
in paragraph 11, General Orders No. 57.
111. The Major General Commanding also
makes known that, whilst he acknowledges and
will require to be respected the right of laborers to
peaceably assemble at night to discuss political
questions, yet he discountenances and l'oruids the
assembling of armed bodies ; and i\ quires that all
'such assemblages shall notify either the military or
civil authorities of t hese proposed meetings, and
said military and civil authorities are enjoined to
see that the right of electors to peaceably assemble
for legitimate purposes is not disturbed.
IV The wearing or carrying of arms, eit her con
cealed or otherwise, by persons not connected with
the military service of thegovernment,or such civil
officers whose duty under the laws and orders it is
to preserve the public peace, at, or in the vicinity
of the polling places, on the days set apart for hold
ing the election in the State of Georgia, is positive
ly forbidden. Civil and military officers will sec

preservation of the peace and quiet of the counties
in which they are acting, is strictly observed.
V. The commanding officers sub-Districts of

General Orders, No. 52.
I. Whereas, The Constitutional Convention
ot tlie State of Georgia, recently in session in
this city, did, on the 10th day of March, 1868,
adopt an Ordinance entitled : i, ‘An Ordinance
to provide for the election of civil officers f

11. As by the provisions of said Ordinance
the Commanding General is requested to cause
certificates of election to bo issued to those per
sons who may be elected to said offices, and
that lie may not be called upon to cause certifi
cates of election to be issued to persons ineligi
ble to hold office, be calls the attention of all
concerned to the provisions of Sec. 8 of the
amendment to the Constitution of tiie United
States, proposed by Uongi-ess and designated
as the 14th Article, winch section he deems, un
der the reconstruction acts, applicable to the
election of officers provided for by said Ord
inance, and is as follows :
“Sec. 3. No person shall be Senator or Repre
sentative in Congress, or elector of President and
Vice President, or hold any office, civil or mili
tary under the United States, or under any
State, who having previously taken an oath, as
a member of Congress, or as an officer of the
United States, or as a member oi any State
Legislature, or as any executive or judicial
officer of any State, to support the Constitution
of the United States, shall have engaged in in
surrection or rebellion against tiie same, or
given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
But Congress may, hy a vote of two-thirds ot
each House, remove such disability.”
Attention is also called to the 6th section ol
the Supplementary Reconstruction Act of Con
gress, which passed July l'Jth, 1807, in which
it is declared tiiat “the words ‘executive or
judicial office in any State’ shall be construed
to include all civil offices created by law for the
administration of any general law of a State, or
for the administration of justice.”
HI. Tlie following are the officers to be
elected at the approaching election in the State
of Georgia, under the provisions of the forego
ing Ordinance aud the Act of Congress author
izing the election, to-wit:

I. The recent assassination, at Columbus, Ga.,

persons of threatening letters, indicating a con
cert of action, by violence and intimidation, to
alarm and overawe a large part of the popula
tion, and by this means affect the resuits of
pending elections in this District; all of which
acts apparently emanate from a secret organiza
tion, for no good purpose, which scorns to be
rapidly spreading through those States, makes it
necessary for tho Commanding Gcnorat to warn
all persons against tho commission of such acts,
tho publication of such articles, the sending of
such lottvrs or connecting themselves with such
evil organizations, and to assure all tho good

order is duly and faithfully executed by the civil
authorities within thtir jurisdiction, and to
promptly report any failure or unwillingness on
tlie part of said authorities, who will beheld sub

Military Commanders are authorized an t directed,
when ill their judgment the same may be neces

abiding citizens, posses to aid in the preservation
of law and order in their respective districts, the
expenses attending the pay and maintenance of

or municipalities, as the case may be.
VI. The Commanding General calls on all

By Animal Magnetism we claim that the dis
eased ami deranged action of the nervous and
vacnlar systems are cestoid to a perfect equilib
rium much more readily than by any other means
known to the medical world, either in the present
or the past ages. ‘ Nature must do the healing,“
is tlie saying oi every sensible aud honest physi
oian, and that “all we can do in case of sickness
is to aid Nature.” This Prof. Roberts aims to do
by the great science of Animat Magnetism, and
that, too, without drugs! It is the only system of
the medication that fas God as its authority and
example, or that oau lie sustained by science or
common sense.
Consultation free. Letters to he. answered must

Prof. Roberts treats successfully the following
named diseases, together with many other forms
of human maladies not herein specilied, viz:
All diseases of the Brain, Rheumatism, Nervous
i Debility-, Neuralgia, Weak Spine, Curvature of
the Spine, Inflamed Sore Eyes, Paralysis, Weak
Eves, Partial Blindness, Dropsical Tumors,Ulcers,
Scrofala in its varied forms, Consumption, Din
hdbjs, Weakness of tho Limbs, Bronchitis, Loss of
Voice, Palpitation of the Heart, Diseases of the
Liver, Kidneys, and Bowels, Dyspepsia, Falling
of tlie Womb, Suppressed Menses, Catarrh, all
kinds of Sexual Diseases, Impurities of the Blond,
etc., etc. Paralysis and Deafness are the most
uncertain of all diseases to cure, although patients
afflicted even with these terrible maladies will be
more or less beuefitted, if not cured, by Magnetic
Treatment.

ibis is to certify that I have been paralyzed in
Doth inv legs and left arm since July, 1866. I have
been attended by different medical Doctors of this
city, without deriving any .benefit from their treat
ment, but on the contrary, seemed to grow worse.
When Professor Roberts arrived here I was ad
vised to visit him, at the Augusta Hotel, which I
did. It required the assistance of three men to
take me up the stairs of the Hotel to Dr. Roberts’
rooms. I have taken the twelfth treatment at the
hands of the Professor, and have been so far re
lieved as to be able to use my arm as well as I ever
did, and with as much power, and can walk a eon
siderable distance with ease, and find my general
health very much improved. All this I ascribe to
the power of Animal Muinetism, as practiced
by Prof Roberts.

l.vzed for lour years. Four months of that time I
was not able to make a step, or even so much as
move one of my toes on either foot, and was en
tirely' destitute of feeling in my legs.
I was examined hy forty eight Confederate
Army Surgeons, all pronouncing me incurable—
having Curvature of the Spine, which produced
paralysis. 1 commenced taking treatment of Pro
fessor Roberts, March 4th, 1808, and now, after
taking nine treatments, by Animal Magnetism. 1
feel like a “new creature!” I can now stand vp ,
and walk any desired distance, without crutches
or canes, which was utterly impossible for more
than four years before seeing Dr. Roberts.

interested to Mr. \V. A. Ramsey, Mr. Edward

This certifies that I have been a great sufferer
with Rheumatism for live years, my left ankle
being much swollen, very stiff' and painful. I
was treated twite ouly liy Dr. Roberts, at the
Augusta Hotel. February 18th and :20th, 1868, and
now have not one symptom of Rheumatism or
pain in my body. All the medicine I had taken
seemed to make me worse, and I never had
any relief until I was treated magnetically. People
may laugh but I have no more rheumatic
pains -that’s so,
I work in the Augusta Hotel.

In June, 1867, 1 was residing in Memphis,
Tcnu. I have been suffering from Piles for
twenty-eight years, the last eight of which I had
been almost unfitted for business of any kind,
and had no hope of a euro. A nephew of mine
had suffered fifteen years with the same complaint;
ho went to Philadelphia, was four months under
Dr. Paneost; submitted to an operation with tho
knife, and was finally cured, for which ho paid
one thousand dollars, besides his exponses to and
from Philadelphia. 1 called on Professor Roberts
and received three treatments, by Animal Mag
neticism, at his hands, and was entirely cured,
and am well-; yet, for which I paid twenty dot
lars. I would not to-day be placed again in the
condition you found me ten mouths ago, and
with as little hope of a cure as I had before your’
three treatments, for twenty thousand dollars.

Perky Davis’ Pain Killer.—We have often
spoken of this great medicino in terms of very
high praise, and wo have ns often felt that all wo
could say in its favor would not do it full justice.
It :s one of those medicines of which we can
sposik—and speak decisively—from experience ;
for we have repeatedly taken it, and invariably
with the best results and greatest satisfaction.
We always keep it on hand, ready for an emer
gency, and wo regard it not. only as one of the
very best medicines in us; for various ills, bin
as one of the cheapest, also. Its cost, by the
way—that is, tho cost ot tho ingredients of which
it is composed—has been considerably increased,
but the price of the medicine has been but very
little advanced. It is not likely that the popu
larity of Davis' Pain Killer will in any measuro
deercasc, or that the demand for it will in tho
slightest degree decline, until souic other specific
for allaying pain and curing various complaints
for which it is so generally used, shall be dis
covered, of equal potency with it—of which
there seems to bo but little probability. Asa
remedy for stomach complaints, such as dysen
tery, diarrhoea, etc., the Pain Killer is, without
doubt, unsurpassed, and every where most de
servedly in demand. One, two, or three doses,
of a teaspoonful each, in a wine glass of milk
and water, with a little sugar, have repeatedly,
within our knowledge, effectually cured serious
trouble of this kind. Judgment should undoubt
edly be used in checking certain stages of diar
rhoea too suddenly; but taken at the proper
time, the Pain Killer will act like a charm, and
frequently cure when nothing else will.—Provi

corruption from human
system.
On® bottle of Dr. Radway’s Renovating Re
aolvent contains more of the active curative
principles of Afce best Jamaica Sarsaparilla,
(Sarsaparillian,) than Ten of the largest size
bottles of the mixture sold under the name
of Sarsaparilla.
The process adopted by Dr. Radway in
securing extracts (prepared in vacuo,) of
vegetables possessing i
ties over Scrofula, Chronic, Syphilitic and
all skin diseases, that enters into the com
position of the Renovating Resolvent, pro

out of 20 lbs. of the crude roots. The Inert
matter that enters so generally in the large
Lottie mixtures and prepared uuder the offi

One teaspooului of the Resolvent is suffi
cient for a dose for all Skin Diseases, Salt

One teaspoonful, three tim--, pcr w ;|j

and transparent, tlie Hair strong, and removo
all Sores, rimples, Blotches, Pustules, Tet
ters, Cankers, &c., from the Head, Face,
Neck, Mouth and Skin. It is pleasant to take,
and the dose is small. ©
The first dose that is (aken seizes on tlie
disease and commences its work of resolving
away all diseased deposits, Purifying the
Blood, and driving corruption from the
system. 13
The Renovating Resolvent, if used in any
of the following named complaints, will posi

ALARMING INCREASE 'OF BLADDER,
KIDNEY and CALCULOUS DISEASES.
The annual reports of the Health Com
missioners of different cities, show a great,
increase of deaths from diseases of the Kid
neys and Urinary Organs—RADWAY’S
RENOVATING RESOLVENT is tho only
remedy that has dissolved calculous concretion.
Its SOLVENT, diuretic, lithoutriptie and
tonic properties exceed that of any medi
cine in the world: it readily assimilates with
the fluids, and promotes their exit through
the Kidneys, Ureter and Bladder, removing
calculous obstructions, and correcting all de
rangements of these organs. \
So swift is this remedy in passing into me cir
culation, that it has been delected in the urine in
six minutes after it has been taken ; by adding
to the liquid when cold a few pieces of starch,
then a few drops of nitric acid, the liquid
will change to a blue color. When brick
dust, or a thick white deposit, like the white
of an fgg, (albumen,) is detected in the ves
sel, or bloody discharges from the urethra,
or micturating in drops, accompanied hy a
burning or scalding pain—tho RESOLVENT
should lie used, and R. R. RELIEF rubbed
on the spine. &o.
RADWAY’S PILLS being an aperient,
soothing, and tonic laxative, are the only
purgative medicine safe to administer in
these difficulties; their mild, soothing and
healing properties produce evacuations with
out irritating the mucous mombraues of the
bowels, kidney s ureter, bladder, &c., or
causing straining when at stool.
