come forward like patriots and unite 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 negro
domination and carpet bag rule. This cry
comes from hungry, disappointed office seek

put forth carpet baggers for offioe (see their

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

us. We have now a chance to place Geor

prove to the world that Union men can and

Georgians, Union men, Republicans, Re

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 yon. It wns 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
Wlin llic Spitii ai»xl tl>« iuiotttinnq of tJIQHfI
who framedjjit. My votes are recorded upon
all its various branches, and it is therefore
unnecessary for me to enter into any state
mcut of iny political principles, other than
to say that I stand 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 take 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 tue General Assem-
bly to provide .a thorough system-of educa
tion for the State.
II called by your votes to assume the
exalted position of your Chief Executive, it
will be 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 for them
selves the confidence o( 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. lb Bullock.

General Assembly are, while taking this pre
liminary action, officers of a provisional govern
ment, and, as such, are required, under tho 9th
section of the Act of Congress of July l'Jth, 1867,
to take the TEST OATH.
“I , of , county of and
State of , da solemnly swear that I have
never voluntarily borne arms ugainst tho United

counsel or encouragement to persons engaged in
armed hostilities thereto; that I have neither
sought, nor accepted, nor attempted to exercise
the functions of any office whatever, under any
authority or pretendod authority in hostility to
the United States ; that I have not yielded a
voluntary support to any pretended govern
ment, authority, power or constitution within
tho United States, hostile or inimical thereto.
And I do further swear that., tithe best of my
knowledge and ability, I will support and defend
the Constitution of the United States against all
enemies, foreign and domestic ; that I will bear
truo faith and allegiance to the sumo ; that 1
take this obligation freely, without any mental
reservation or purpose of evasion ; and that I
will well and faithfully discharge the duties of

I. The uncertainty which seems to exist in re
gard to holding municipal elections on the 20ll>

Headquarters, lenders it necessary for the Com
manding General to announce that said elections
are not authorized by any orders from these Head
quaiters. Managers of election" ace hereby pros
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 which officers is authorized
by General Orders Nos. 50 and 53.
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 lie
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 ho pun
ished, the same as any attempt to dissuade and pre
vent voters from going to tlit polls, as referred to
in paragraph 11, General Orders No. 57.
111. The Major General Commanding also
makes known that, whilst lie acknowledges and
will require to be respected the right of laborers to
peaceably assemble at uiglit to discuss political
questions, yet he discountenances and forbids the
assembling of armed bodies; anu requires that all
such assemblages shall notify either the military or
civil authorities of these proposed meetings, and
said military and civil authorities are enjoined to
see that the right of electors to peaceably assemble
lor legitimate purposes is not disturbed.
IV' Tho wearing or carrying of arms, either con
cealed or otherwise, by persons not connected with
the military service of the government,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 see
that this order, as well as all others relating to the
preservation of the peace and quiet of the counties
in which they are acting, is strictly observed.
V. The commanding officers suh-Districts of
Georgia and Florida, will take prompt measures
to give publicity to this order through the Super
intendents of Registration and the officers of the
Freedtueu’s Bureau, and will enjoin on the latter
to instruct and advise the Freedmenin their rights
and duties.

adopt an Ordinance entitled : u An Ordinance
to provide for the election of civil officers,”
which Ordinance, among other things, provides:

of the United States, shall have engaged in in
surrection or rebellion against tnc same, or

Attention Is also called to the 6th section ol
flic Supplementary Reconstruction Act of Con
gress, which passed July 19th, 1867, In which
it Is declared that “the words ‘executive or

Orleans and Memphis, the great Magnetic
Healer, will treat all manner of Diseases and
Afflictions, not incurable, at the AUGUSTA
HOTEL, Augusta, Ga., until Mav Ist, 1868.
By Animal Magnetism we claim that the dis
eased and deranged action of the nervous and
vacnliu- systems gre restored to a perfect equilib
rium much more readily than hy any other means
known to the medical world, either in the present,
or the past ages. ‘ Nature must do the healing/’
is the saying of every sensible and honest physi
cian, 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 Animal Magnetism, and
that, too, without drugs! It is the only system of
the medication that has God as its authority and
example, or that can be sustained hy science or
common sense.
Consultation free. Letters to be answered mnst
be 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 specified, viz:
All diseases of the Brain. Rheumatism, Nervons
Debility, Neuralgia, Weak Spine, Curvature of
the Spine, Inflamed Sore Eyes, Paralysis, Weak
Eyes, Partial Blindness, Dropsical Tumors,Ulcers,
Scrofula in its varied forms, Consumption, Dia
hetes, Weakness of die Limbs, Bronchitis, Lossof
Voice, Palpitation of the Heart, Diseases of the
Liver, Kidneys, and Bowels, Dyspepsia, Falling
of the Womb, Suppressed Menses, Catarrh, all
kinds ot Sexual Diseases, Impnrities of the Blood,
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 lees benelitted, if not cured, by Magnetic
Treatment.

This is to certify that I have been paralyzed in
both my legs and leftarm since July, 1860. I have
been attended hy 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 mo up tlie stairs of the Hotel to Dr. Roberts’
rooms. I have taken the twelfth treatment at tlie
hands of the Professor, and have been so far re
lieved as to he able to use my arm as well as I ever
did, und with as much power, and ran walk a con
siderable distance with ease, and find my general
health very much improved. All this I ascribe to
the power* of Animal Mhinktism, as practiced
by Prof Roberts.

I hereby certify that I have been partially para
lyzed for tour years. Four months of that time I
was uot able to make a step, or even so touch as
move one of my toes on either foot, and was en
tirely destitute of feeling in my logs.
I was examined by forty eight, Confederate
Army Burgeons, all pronouncing me incurable—
having Curvature of the Spine, which produced
paralysis. I commenced taking treatment of Pro
fessor Roberts, March 4th, 1868, and now, after
taking nine treatments, by Animal Magnetism. I
. feel like a “new creature!” I can now slantl up,
and v'a/k any desired distance, millionl crutches
or cancs, which was utterly impossible for more
than four years before seeing Dr. Roberts.
For reputation and responsibility, I refer those
interested to Mr. W. A. Ramsey. Mr. Edward
Rodgers, Mr. John M. Clark. Mr. Nicholas Young

This is to certify that I have been treated by
Prof. Roberts for a dropsical tumor in the left side,
with which I have been afflicted for the last seven
years, and am confident that I am entirely cured,
not having experienced any of the unpleasant,
symptoms whi-b I did before the treatment, and
this by animal magnetism.

This certifies that I have been u great sufferer
with Rheumatism for live years, my left ankle
beiug much swollen, very stiff and painful. I
was treated twice only by Dr. Roberts, at the
Augusta Hotel, February 18th and 18(58, 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 1 was treated magnetically. People
may lent git ; but I have no more rheumatic
paiiiu -tlmt's so.
I work in the Augusta Hotel.

In June, 1867, I was residing in Memphis,
Temi. I havo 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 cure. A nephew of mine
had suffered fifteen years with the same complaiul;
he.went to Philadelphia, was four mouths uuder
Dr. Pancost; submitted to an operation with tho
knife, and was finally cured, for which ho paid
one thousaud dollars, besides his expenses to and
from Philadelphia. I called on Professor Roberts
and received three treatments, by Animal Ma«>‘-
ueticism, at his hands, and was entirely cured,
and am well; yet, for which 1 paid twenty dol
lars. I would not to• dhy be placed again in the
condition you found mo ten months ago, and
with as little hope of a euro as 1 had before your
three treatments, for twenty thousand dollars.

WE ASK THE ATTENTION OF Till', PUB
LIC to this long tested und unrivalled
FAMILY MEDICINE.
It has been favorably known for more than
twenty years, during which time ive have received
thousands of testimonials, showing this Medicine
to bo an almost never-failing reineAv for diseases
caused by or attendant upon—
Sudden Colds, Coughs, Freer and. Ague,
Headache, Bilious Fever, Pains in the Side.
Back and Loins, as well its in the Joints and.
Limbs; Neuralgia and Rheumatic Pain in
any part of the system, Toothache and Pains
in the head and face.
Asa Blood Pnrifyer and Tonic for the
Stomach, it seldom fails to cure Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Liver Complaint, Acid Stomach,
Heartburn, Kidney Complaints, Sick Head
ache, Piles, Asthma or Phthisic, Ringworms,
Boils, Felons. Whitlows, Old Sores, Swelled
Joints, and General Debility of the System.
It is also a prompt and sure remedy for
Cramp and Pain in the Stomach, Painter’s
Colic, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Summer Com
plaint, Cholera Morbus, Cholera Infantum,
Scalds, Burns , Sprains, Bruises, Frost Bites,
Chilblains, as well as the Stings of Insects,
Scorpion, Centipedes, and the Bites of
Poisonous Insects and Venomous Reptiles.
See Directions accompanying each bol/le.
It has been tried in every variety o f climate,

cans. It is the almost constant companion
and inestimable fi lend of Ihe missionary
and the traveller, on land and sea, and no
one■ should travel on our tales or rivers
without it.
Prices, 25 cents, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle.
Pehuv Davis’ Pain Killer.—We have often
spoken of this grout medicine in terms of very
high praise, and wc have a« often felt that all we
could say in its favor would not do it full justice.
It is one of those medicines of which we can
speak—and speak decisively—from experience ;
for wc have repeatedly taken it, and invariably
with the best results and greatest satisfaction.
Wo always keep it on hand, ready for an emer
gency, and we regard it not only as one of the
very best medicines in us.j for various ills, but
as one of the cheapest, also. Its cost, by the
way—that is, the cost ot the ingredients of which
it is composed—has been considerably increased,
but the price of tho medicine has been but very
little advanced. It is not likely that the popu
larity of Davis’ Pain Killer will in any measure
decrease, or that the demand for it will in the
slightest degree decline, until some other specific
for allaying pain and curing various complaints
for which it is so generally used, shall bo 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 tcaspoouful 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

R. R. R. Resolvent cures with
astonishing rapidity every form
of Chronic, Scrofulous and Skin
Diseases, and exterminates all
corruption from the human
system.
One bottle of Dr. Radway’s Renovating Re
aolvent contains more of the active curative
principles of tho best Jamaica Sarsaparilla,
(Sarsafferillian,) 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
Medicinal Roots, Plants, Herbs, and other
vegetables possessing great curative proper
ties over Scrofula, Chronic, Syphilitic and
all skin diseases, that enters into the com
position of the Renovating Resolvent, pro
duces only ONE OUNCE of the pure extract
out of 20 lbs. of the crude roots. The Inert
matter that enters so generally in the large
bottle mixtures and prepared under the offi
cinal or pharmacopeia formula, is, by Dr,
Radway’s process, cast aside as
One teaspoonful of the Resolvent is suffi
cient for a dose for all Skin Diseases. Salt
Rheum, Pimples, Blotches, Sores and Erup
tions of the Skin, Humors in the Blood, &c.
One teaspoonful, three times per day, will,
In a few days, make tho Blood pure, tho Skin
clear, the Eyes bright, the Complexion smooth
and transparent, the Hair strong, and remove
all Sores, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Te tr
iers, Cankers, &c., from the Head, Face,
Neck, Mouth and Skin. It is pleasant to take,
and the dose is small. ft
The first dose that is taken seizes on the
disease and commences its work of resolving
away all diseased deposits, Purifying the
Blood, and driving corruption from the
system, ig!

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 the only
remedy that has dissolved calculous concretion.
Its SOLVENT, diuretic, lithontriptic 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. i
So swift is this remedy in passing into ins cir
culation, that it has been detected in the urine in
six minutes after it has been taken ; hy 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 egg, (albumen,) is detected in the ves
sel, or bloody discharges from tlie urethra,
or micturating in drops, accompanied by a
burning or scalding [rain —the RESOLVENT
should ho used, and R R. RELIEF rubbed
on the spine, &c.
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 irrltatina the mucous membranes of the
bowels, kidneys, ureter, bladder, Ac., or
causing straining when at stool.
