AUGUSTA,. GA., THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1868.
Official.
Proclamation by the Governor.
Whereas, Law-abiding citizens from many
sections of the Ststo unite in communications to
this Department, setting forth that mfifgmded
persons are stirring up strife among the people,
by unlawful acts of violence against the person
and property of citizens, on account of political
opinion; and that persons distinguished for their
hostility to the Government of the United States,
aud of this State, are promoting said acts of vio
lence by publicly denouncing the laws as 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; mid
whereas, it is further communicated that the inev
itable result of said acts of violence and insurrec
tionary appeals is already becoming manifest in
tlie rapid spread of a disposition on the part of
those who maintain the validity of the laws of
Congress, ami of the State Governments estab
lished thereunder, to protect themselves by arms
from said acts of violence, and from said combi
nations against their civil rights; and whereas,
the General Assembly has adopted the following
preamble and resolution : “Whereas, it being the
practice of a portion of the citizens of this State
to assemble in large numbers with arms, for the
purpose of exercising iu military tactics, aud for
other unlawful purposes, without authority of
law. and to the terror of the good citizens thereof;
RMOlved, therefore, by the Senate and House of
Represent&tives. That his Excellency the Gov
ernor be, aud he is hereby, respectfully requested
to issue his proclamation, prohibiting such armed
and unlawful assemblages. Bnt the right of the
people to peaceably assemble for the consideration
of any matter shall not, be impaired by any proc
lamation of the Governor.” •
Note, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor
of this State, and Commander in-Uhief of the
army aud navy and militia thereof, do issue this
my Proclamation, commanding all citizens to ah
stain from any acts of violence against person or
property, or from persuasions winch will tend to
excite to violence or unlawful combinations, and
from all interference with the constitutional right
of persons to assemble for political or other peace
ful purposes; and to yield prompt and respectful
obedience to the officers of the law under all cir
cumstances; and also charging upon the said
officers the exercise of great vigilance that the
majesty of the civil law be vindicated and great
caution that all their acts may be fully justified by
and 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 tlie drilling or exercising in
military tactics with arms of any organized body
of men within this State, except the army of the
United States, is unauthorized, unlawful, mid
against the peace and good order of the State, and
must be immediately suspended

The American Artisan
UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
989 Broadway, New York.
Messrs. BROWN, COOMBS &. CO., Proprie
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
beet services to inventors, as Solicitors of Ameri
can and Foreign Patents. Mr. HenryT. Brown,
of this firm, has liad more than twenty-two years'
expel ience in that profession, both in this country
and Europe, und his long practice lias made
liim personally known to thousands of inven
tors and patentees. The applications for the
patents upon matfy of the greater and more im
portant inventions of the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brows, Coombs & Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid transaction of
business with the United States Patent Office, and
the general practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; and this knowledge ren
ders them confident tjiat their post experience, with
their present unequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required bylaw in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
ofsuccessio theiijefforts toyibtain.Lettersq’atcntfor
inventions that are really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawings winch must always accompany every
application for a patent, und they employ none but
the most efficient draughtsmen. "The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Brown, Coombs
& Co.’s business is performed, is, that the “Am er”
ican Artisan Patekt Agency,” during the three
years of its existence, has been the most sneccssful
institution of the kind ever established.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coomus
&. Co. are situated at 189 Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in tlie most central part of the
city. This location is one of very easy access by
strangers inasmuch as it is within a stone's throw
from tlie City Hall. Al) inventors temporarily sb
journing in the metropolis are invited t,o visit'this
establishment. liijtlie majority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
akndwleilge of his inventionas will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs &. Co. to definitely determine
whethera machine or process is new or old—paten
table or not. The office hours are from 9a.m.
to 5 r. M.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York —free of charge— written opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do this they simply require a
sketch or rough model oftlie machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together witli
a brief description of the same, and as soon as pos
sible thereafter a lettec of the best advice is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if an inventor desi res to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea has ever been embodied
iu a machine or process already patented his wisest
course will be to have a preliminary examination
made at the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special
searehjamong all the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to tha patentability of the invention un
der examination. For tliis’labor the email fee ot
|5 is payable jji advance; and tlie remittance
shouldbe accompanied by a sketch ofthe invention
and a few lines of writing describing the sains',
and distinctly stating those pointsof novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Pateut
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
granted for Hjetei-m of SEYENTfEN YfAM The
first instalment oljhe Governniemleels sls, which
sum--together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax
on the power-of attorney— is payable tn advance,
ou applying for the patent; and S2O additional are
due to the Government when the Ijettei-s-Patent aro
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but in ail cases our
charges will he as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawings and 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. Brown. Coombs & Co.
have a branchia Washington so thutall applica
tions made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage through the Patent Office.
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners in tlie Patent
Office; but if the invention is a chemical composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these jhould be marked with the in
ventor's name, I ben carefully boxed, and sent (by
express, prepaid}, together with the first instalmen
ofthe doverunient. fee, to Messrs Brown, Coo.M us
& Co. When the model is small and light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The
model must not exceed one foot in auy of its dimens
ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, except those for designs, are granted
on equal-terms to citizens and all foreigners, except
inhabitants of Canada and some others of the
British American Provinces.
Besides patents or new ami usefu, inventions,
there are also granted patents for designs.
Design-patents are 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, or any impression or figure 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 patents for the term of seven
years from the day on which said patents shall ex
pire, upon the same terms and restrictions as are
now provided fertile extensions of Letters-Putent..
Among the numerons subjects foi patents of this
class may be particularly mentioned —eastings of
all metals, paits of machines, household furniture
and utensils; glassware, hardware of ail kindd,
cornices, and other interior und exterior decorations
of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed
fabrics, dress and upholstery triminings, and har
ness 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 forms of
such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and
envelopes, likewise all works of art, as statuary,
busts, comnoeitions in alto or basso-relievo. The
Government fee on a design-patent for 3 J years is
$10;l7 years, sls; 14 years, S3O. No models of
designs are required; bnt duplicate drawings or
photographs must be furnished- The specification
to accompany the drawings or photographs re
quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs
Brown, Coombs & Co. give very particular at
tention t<> this branch of their business. Tlieir
charge for preparing applications for design-patents
is generally about sls. Design patents are only
granted to American citizeusor to aliens wlio'have
resided one year In the United States and mado
oath of their intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Messrs. Bsown, Coombs & Co
for obtaining patents in the various European
countries are equal if not superior to those of any
other in the United States. With regard to their
qualifications for such business, it need only be
stated that Mr. Brown has h.vi the prepara
tion of more European applications than any
othei person in this country, Messrs. Brown,
Coombs & Co., besides having a branch ofiice in
Washington, have their own agencies in the
principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating
to foreign patent business will be furnished Ires
on application personally or by mail.
Messrs. Brown, Ct. .mbs & Co. also attend to in
terferences, the extensions of expiring Letten
Patent, and all proceedings relating to patents be
fore the United States Patent Office.
All letters, packages, boxes, etc., should bend

; I)EAD THE FOLLOWING LF.TTEREROM
Av Rev. R. Telford, Missionary iu China, now
' visiting liia home in Pennsylvaufa;
’ Washington, Pa., Juue2s, 1866.
' Messrs. Perry Davis <£ Son x Providence, R. I.:
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.
Iu a'dministering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonfhl of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
1 after about fifteeu minutes, begin to give a table
' spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomacli with Pain
Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Ot Those
who had the cholera, aud took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
r Telford.
If an attack with Diarrhcea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay the use of the'Pain
Killer. Bq]d by all medicine dealers. Ptice, 25
cents, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866,
Gentlemen— * • - f want to say a little
more about tlie Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable medicine, and always keen it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me.
In my practice I need it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 18-19, and with better success than auy
other medicine; I also used it here for cholera in
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. 1).
Swato, China.
Cholcxa t * * * I regret to say that tlie
cholera lias prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re
ported, I should add that the Pain Killer, sent
recently from the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectual in check
ing the dieease. •,

Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
everywhere acceptable, aud that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, aud bxperieuced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from tlie directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea-
Bpoonfiil in a gill <rf new milk and molasses, in
equal parte, stirred well together; lessen the dose
for children, according to the age. If the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera niorbns, sudden 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 ami molasses stirred
well togetweramt dfimk Ifot, "STUfe tiinS
bathing the bowels ffeely with ipgdiciue. Let
the dose be repeated every hour nntil the patient
is relioved.’’
If every person who has reason to fear this
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 be saved. je!2—2ni
