FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
THE
national republican,
OF AUGUSTA, GA.
SUBSCRIBE FOR IT.
The present Presidential campaign in
volves more momentous consequences than
any previous political contest in the history
of the country. The people of Georgia are
deeply interested in the result, and wiU
therefore, look forward to the developments
of the campaign with increasing interest.
The dissemination of reliable news, find of
sound constitutional views on the important
issues of the day are essential to the success
of the Republican juirty.
To supply in a measure this need, we wil
mail The National Republican for any
four months prior to January 1, 1869, at the
low rate of $1.50.
We appeal to the old supporters of the
Republican to aid us in extending its
circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote
all our energy and ability to the success o f
the great cause in which the Union Repub
lican Party is embarked; and to spare
neither labor nor expense in making The
National Republican a useful and reliable
newspaper. •
Specimen copies sent free to any address
Col; C. H. Hanleiter.
We take pleasure in announcing that we
have perfected arrangements whereby the
typographical superintendence of this office
will be under tlfc management of Col. C. R.
Hanleiter, the veteran and well kno#n
Printer who has no superior, in his avoca
tion, on the continent. In the absence of
Mr. Pughe* Col. 11. will be found at the
office, 190 Broad street, prepared to receive
orders and contract for all kinds of Printing,
which will be executed in the best style
and on the most reasonable terms.
An Echo.
The cry uttered by Hamlet, “ Oh, that
this too solid flesh might melt,” found an
echo in many a heart during the heat of
yesterday, and from the appearance of
some we met, who were possessed with
more corporosity than comfort allows, was
in a fairway to be realized. Many, in
spite of their republican principles, would
not have scrupled to exhume old slavery
that they too might ind ulge a little in the
cool ey trade.
—.————
Medical.
A person who was recently called into
court for the purpose of proving the cor.
redness of a doctor’s bill, was asked by a
lawver whether “the doctor did not make
several visits after the patient was out of
danger?" “No," replied the witness, “I
considered the patient in danger as long as
he doctor continued his visits."
Sunstroke*.
Since sunstrokes are becoming so •com
mon, it may be Well to give some gleanings
we have made concerning remedies for
them.
It is said that cold water should be imme
diately poured over the head of the person
thus affected, and that mustard or other
draughts should be applied to the back of
the neck, the wrists, knees, and soles of the
feet. Os course these remedies should not
preclude the calling of a physician in any
case where the patient does not immediately
rally.
As a safeguard against sunstroke, it is
well to have something more thau the usual
covering oven the head on entering into the
rays of a hot sun —for instance, a handker
chief, or, still better, green leaves, in the
halt—hose of the common plantain being
excellent, and frequently used.
Important to Patent Right Jkn.
The provisions of the late law passed in
reference to the sale of patent rights require
that any person proposing to sell or barter
any patent right shall submit to the Probate
Judge of the county wherein h/ proposes to
sell, for bis examination, the letters patent
or an authenticated copy thereof, and his
authority to sell or barter the right so pat
ented ; and shall swear or affirm before such
judge, stating the name, age, place of
residence, and former occupation, of the
applicant, and if an agent, the name,
occupation and residence of his or her prin
cipal. The affidavit shall be filed and pre
served in the office of the judge, copies of
which may be had op demand, as of any
other public document. Any person receiving
& certificate shall exhibit the same on
demand. Any person who may take any
Promise or obligation in writing, for which a
patent right shall form any part of the con
sideration, shall insert in the instrument the
words “given for a patent right."
The penalty for refusing to comply with
the requirements of this Act shall, on con
viction, be a fine of not more than $500,0r
be imprisoned in the county jail not more
’han six months, or both, at the discretion
of the [court, and be liable to the party
injured, in a civil action, for damages sus
tained.
German Emigration." <
Political writers in; Europe prophesy war
between France and Prussia. They see in
the mutual mistrust of the two countries,
partly the cause and partly the result of
excessive armamepls, in the jt»lous rest-'
lessuess of the French, and the suspicious .
policy of Prussia, indications of a collision
not very remote. What will be the result of
such a war, or on which side of it the,
different powers will range themselves, is
matter of conjecture. The unsettled stale Os
affairs in Europe has at any rate set in
motion a class of people different from that
which has been emigrating in years past to
this country, and now men from the North
of Germany, possessed of a considerable
amount ol property, are turning their faces
towards the United States, and leaving their
native laud to escape from the war system,
which makes both property and life in.
secure.
Such a class of emigrants intelligent)
industrious and independent —will be wel
comed on this side of the Atlantic. There is
room enough for all that may come, and a
field in which they can labor with profit to
themselves and for the benefit of the country.
Here the sounds of war are hushed, not to be
hoard for many a long year, and the signs of
the times point to a new era of prosperity
and rapid growth, surpassing anything that
the history of this country has yet recorded.
