Proclamation by the Governor.
Whkkkas, Law-abiding citizens from many
sections of the State unite in communications to
this Department, setting forth that misguided
persons are stirring up strife among the people,
by jin lawful acts of violence against the person
apd property of citizens, on account of political
opinion ; and that persons distinguished for their
hostility to the Government of the United Slates,
and of this State, are promoting said acts of vio
lence by publicly denouncing the laws ns revolu
tionary, unconstitutional and void, and declaim
ing in a manner tending to excite resistance to the
lawful authority of the State, and to persuade
others to join In a combined resistance to and a
disregard of the civil rights of citizens; and
whereas, it is further communicated that the inev
itable result of said acts of violence and insurrec
tionary appeals is already becoming manifest in
the rapid spread of a disposition on the part of
those who maintain the validity of the laws of
Congress, and ot the State Governments estab
lished thereunder, to protect themselves by arms
from said acts of violence, and frofc said combi
nations against their civil rights; and whereas,
the General Assembly has adopted the following
preamble and resolution : "Whereas, it being tho
practice of a portion of the citizens of this State
to assemble in large numbers with arms, for tho
purpose of exercising in military tactics, ami for
other unlawful purposes, without authority of
law. and to the terror of the good citizens thereof;
Resolved, therefore, by the Senate and House of
Representatives. That his Excellency the Gov
eruor be, aud he is hereby, respectfully requested
to issue liis proclamation, prohibiting such armed
and unlawful assemblages. But the right of tho
people to peaceably assemble for the consideration
of any matter shall not be impaired by any proc
lamation of the Governor.”
Now, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor
of this Stale, aud Commander in-Clues of tho
army and navy aud militia thereof, do issue this
mv Pi-oolamot’ou, commanding al! citizens to ab
stain from any acts of violence against person or
property, or from persuasions which will tend to
excite to violence or unlawful combinations, and
from all interference with the constitutional light
of persons to assemble for political or other peace
ful purposes; aud to yield prompt and respectful
obedience to the officers of the law under all cir
cumstances; and also charging upon tho mid
officers the exercise of great vigilance that the
majesty of the civil law bo vindicated and great
caution that all their acts may be fully justified by
aud done in pursuance of our Constitution and
laws. And to make known that no authority has
been granted by the Executive for the formation
of armed or unarmed organizations ot any kind or
character; and that the drilling or exercising in
military tactics with arms of any organized body
of men withiu this State, except the army of the
United States, is unauthorized, unlawful, and
against the peace and good order of the State, and
musLbe immediately suspended

and Europe, and his long practice has 'made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors mid patentees. The applications for the
patents upon many of the greater and more iin
iwrtant in ventions’of the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coomhs Ac. Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid transaction of
business with tho United Slates Patent Office, and
the general practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; and this knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present unequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
menta required by law in applications for patents,
und to promise their clients an absolute certainly
ofuuccessin theirjefforts toobtainjLettersjPatentfor
inventions that are really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawings which must always accompany every
application for a patent, aud they employ none but
the most efficient draughtsmen. The iiest evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. BhoWN, Coombs
& Co.’s business is performed, is, that tbe“4MKK
ican AiiT-tsAit Patent Agency,” during thethree
vears of its existence, has lieen the. mot! mmmunfitl
instil it Ihr n of the kind ever established.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown.Coombs
& Co. are situated at 189 Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. This location is one of very easy access by
strangers, inasmuch as it is withiu a stone's throw
from the City Hall. All inventors temporarily so
jonming in the metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment.. In|tlie majority of instance uo model
or drawing of au invention will bo necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will' ordinarily suffice to convey such
aknowledge of his invention us will enable Messis.
Brown, Coombs A. Co. to definitely determine
whet her a machine or process is new or old- paten
table or not. The office hours are from 9a..m.
to 5 r. M. • ”
Measra. Brown, Coombs A- Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York —free of charge— written opinions us to
whether inventions contain any featnresof paten
table novelty; to do this they simply require a
sketch or rough model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together with
a brief description of the same, mid tre soon we. pos
sible t hereafter a letter of the bet-l lebvict Is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience, but. ifau iu venter desires to know, positively,
whether liis incipient idea has ever been embodied
ina machine or process already patented, liis wisest
course will be to have npreliminary examination
made al the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special
searchptmong all the records of that mstitutioii, aud
then protnplly forward a full and carefully written
report as lo the patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this labor the small fee of
$5 ia payable in advance; and the remittance
should do accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the rani*,
ami distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Pateut.
Patents for new aud useful inventions are now
granted for the teim of st ventesn years Tho
first instalment ofjthe Government lee is sls, which
sum —together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax
qjj the power of-altoruey—is payable Au_adrourr,
on applying for the patent; and >2O additional are
due to the Government when t lie Ijettere-Patentare
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but in ull rases our
chargee will be as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawingsand all necessary documents.
This fee is not payable until after the application
has been prepared and the case is ready to be sent
to Washington. Messrs. Bkown. Coombs & Co.
have a branchin Washington ho thatall uppliea
tioue made throngh them can have every necessary
attent ion in their passage through the Patent Office
Inventors applying for patents must furuish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of tho Examiners in the Patent
Office; but. if the invention is a chemical composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should he marked with the in
ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
express, prepaid), together with the firstinstalmen
oftlieGoveninieutfee,toMesßis Brown,Coombs
&. Co. When the model is small mid light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The
model must not exceed one foot iu any of itsdimeue

practicable.
Patents, except those for desigus ( ure granted
on equal Jerms to citizens and all foreigners except
inhabitants of Canada mid some others of the
British American Provinces.
Besides patents or new and usefm inventions,
there are also granted patents for designs.
Design-patents ure not now, as formerly, limited
strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under
Section 11 of the Act of March 2.1861, any new
form ofany article,m any impression orpyure upon
the surface of any article or material, by whatever
means or'process produced, can be patented. Un
der this Act, patentees are entitled to the exten
sion of their respective pntente for the term ot seven
years from the dsy on which eaid patents shall ex
pire, upon the same terms and restrictions as are
now provided for the extensions of Letters Patent.
Amon# the numerous subjects for imtente of this
class may' be particularly mentioned - castings of
all metals, parts of imudiines, household furniture
ami utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds,
cornices, and otlieriuterior and exterior docor itious
<>f buildings ; also, designs for woven uml printed
fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmings, aud liar
iiess labels and trade marks for medicines, per
fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or
merchandise, put up in bottles, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forme of
sueh bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, aud
envelopes, likewise all works of nit, as statuary,
busts, compositions in alto or basso relievo. The
Governmeut fee on a design patent for 3j years is
Il'hV years, sls; 14 years, f3O. No models of
designs are required;' but duplicate drawings or
photographs must be furnished- The apecificHlion
to accompany the drawings or photographs re
quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs
Brown, Coombs & Co. give very particular at
tention to this branch of their business. Their
charge l or preparing applications for design patents
is generally about sls. Design patents are only
granted to American citizens or to aliens who have
resided one year in the United States aud made
oath of their Intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Messrs. Bnown, Coombs A Co
for obtaining patents in the various European
countries are equal if not superior to those of any
other iu the United States. With regard to their
qualifications for such business, it need only be
stated that Mr. Bkown haa had the prepare
lion of more European applications than any
otliei person in this country, Meesrs. Brown,
Coombs A. Co., besides having a branch office in
Wash ington, have their own agencies in the
principal capitals of Enrope. A circular relating
lo foreign patent business will be furnished free
on application personally or by mail.
Messrs. Brown, C< .Mbs &. Co. also attend to in
terferences, the extensions of expiring Letters-

MEDICINAL.
Asiatic Cholera in China,
ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KILLER.
—o
Read the following letter from
Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania;
Washington, Pa., June 25,1866.
Messrs. Perry IdanuJb Son, Providence, R. 1.:
Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot weter sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
• >-e extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clear aud rub the limbs briskly. Oi those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
R TELFORD.
If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, sl> cents, ami $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866.
Gentlemen— * " * 1 want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable, medicine, and always keen it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I nave been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
Iu niy practice I used it freely tor the Asiatic
Cholera, in 18-19, aud with better success than any
other medicine -, I also used it here for cholera iu
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Bwato, China.
Choleia !***! regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from teff to
fifty or sixty fatal eases each day has been re
ported. I should add that the Pain Killer, sent
recently from the Mission House, bus been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectual in check
ing the disease.
Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG.
. Sholapore, India.
[From the Portland Monthly ]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From wlmt we have
seen, heal'd, and experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one te.n
apoviiful in a gill of new milk aud molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen tho dose
for children, according to the age. If the pain bo
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in eases oi
the cholera morbus, sadden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one gill of milk and molasses stirred
well together and drank hot, at the same time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine Let
the dose lauejififfied every hour until the ihiUvul.-
is relieved.
If every person who has reason to fear thin
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasion required, We
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would bn saved. jelS—2m
