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.

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 for ns, and the heart of the nation is with ns. Wo have now a chance to place Geor 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.

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.

Any violation oi Ibis order will lie punished in the man lier prescribed in General Orders, No. 12, for the punishment of civil officers for disobedience of orders. 11. Inasmuch as a numerous class of the electors of tins State are, from necessity at present, depend ent upon another class for employment hy which they may earn daily bread for themselves and their lumdies, and as numerous complaints have been made at these Headquarters that such laborers will be intimidated from voting at the approaching election by fear of the loss of employment, employ ers are hereby forbidden any attempt to control AUGUSTA, G A., SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 18, 1868. the action or will of their laborer? an to voting, by threat? of discharge from employment or bv other oppressive means ; and any person who shall by such means prevent a laborer from voting as he pleases, or shall discharge him from employment on account of His having exercised his privileges as a voter, will, on conviction of such offence be fore a military commission, bo punished by fine or imprisonment, or both. ill.

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.

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.

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 he accompanied with a stamp. For testimonials see or send lor circular. 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. . .

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. (Signed| NANCY MASON. Augusta, Ua., Marcii 30, IS6B. 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 dence Advertiser. by aU Medicine Dealers. mill I—2m UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SOUTH ern District of Georgia.

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.

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.
