GA., FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, 1868. Official. Proclamation by the Governor. Whkuear, Law-abiding citizens from many sections of the State unite in communications to this Department, setting forth that misguided persons are stirring np strife among the people, by unlawful acts of violence against the person and property of citizens, on account of politfcal 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; and whereas, it is further communicated that the inev it able 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 of the State Governments estab fished thereunder, to protect themselves by arms from said acts of violence, and from said combi nations against their civil rights; aud 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 nnmbers with arms, for the purpose of exercising in military tactics, and 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' Iris Excellency the Gov ernor be, aud he is hereby, respectfully requested to. issue his proclamation, prohibiting such armed and unlawful assemblages.

Aud 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 witli arms of any organized body of men within this State, except the army of the United States, is unauthorized. unlawful, and against the peace ami good order of the Stair;, and must be immediately suspended.

The American Artisan UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN PATENT AGENCY. 189 Broadway, New York. M. .- ib. BROWN, COOMBS &, CO., Proprie tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their beat services to inventors, ns Solicitors ot Ameri can and Foreign Patents. Mr. lIRNKit T. Brown, of t his firm, has had more Rian twenty-two years' expetieuce in that profession, both iu this country and Europe, and his long practice has made him personally known to thousands of inven tors and patentees. ' The applications for the patents upon many of the greater and more im portant, i u ven tione’oftho present century have been prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coomiis &. Co., are thoroughly familiar with al! tbe rules and re giilations instituted for the rapid tiausaction of biisiuess with the Unital States Patent Office, and the general practice in the ratent. Bureaus oLvan <ms European countries; and this knowledge ren ders them confident t hat their post, experience, with their present uneqnaled facilities, enables them to elaborately and yet speedily prepare all tbe ilocu ments required Gy law in applications for patents, and to promise their clients an absolute certainty ofsuccessm theirjett'orts to,obtain J^tterajl’atentfor inventions that ate 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, and they employ pone but the most efficientdranghtsmen. The best evidefice of the manner iu which Messrs. BuoWN, Coombs &. Co.’s business is performed, is, that the “Amer ican Artisan Patent Agknct,” during the three years of its existence, has been the most successful institution of the kM ever established. The principal offices of Messrs. JJkuwn.Coom bs & 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 inastnucli as it is within a stone's throw from the City Hall. All inventors temporarily so journing in the metropolis are invited to visit this estubliimment. In|the majority of instance no model or drawing of an invention will bo necessary on the first interview, as a mere oral description by the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such of his invention as will enable Messrs. Brown, Coomiis & Co. to definitely determine whether a machine or process is new or old —paten table er 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 of the machine or other in vention that is supposed to be new, together with a brief description of the same, and as soon as pos sible thereafter a letter 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 desires to know, iiositively, whether bis incipient idea has ever been embodied in a machine or process already patented, his wisest worse will be to havenpreliminary examination made nt the United States Patent, office by Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special searclqambng all the records of tliat institution, aud then promptly forward a full and carefully written report as to the patentability of the invention un der examination. For this labor the small fee ol $5 is payable in advance; and the remittance should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention aud a few lines of writing describing the same, and distinctly suiting those points of novelty which the inventor desire# to have protected by Ijetters- Patent Patents for new and useful inventions are now granted for the term of seventeen tears The firetinstalment ofjlte Governnietii lee is sls, which sum -together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tux on- the powcv-ot-ulWMwy —4» payable -ut mdvumeo, ou applying for the patent $29 additional are due to tl'ie Government when the Letters-Patent are allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our charges will be as moderate us possible in the pre paration of drawings aud all necessary documents. This fee is not payable until after the application has been prepared andtlie case is ready to be sent to W«-liiugton. Messrs. Brown, Coomiis & Co. have a branchia Washington so tliat.all 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 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 be marked with the in ventor’s name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by express, prepaid,), together with the firstinstalmeu oftheGovenimeutfee, to Messrs Brown, CqoMits & Co. When the model is small and light, it can be couveuiently and cheaply sentby mail The model must not exceed one foot iu any of itsdimens ions, unless ills of such a character that it is im practicable. Patents, except those for designs, are granted on equal-terms to citizens aud all foreigners,except inhabitants of Canada and some others of the British American Provinces. Besides patents or new and usefu, inventions, there are also grunted patents for tiesigns.

ALMOST EVERY CASE CURED WITH PAIN KILLER. o . j > EAD THE FOLLOWING IJRJTER FROM I k Rev. R. Telford, Misßionary in China; now* visiting liis borne in Peinisylvnnia: Washington, Pa., Jutte‘2s, 1866. Messrs. Perry Davis <fc Son Providence, R. L: Dear Sirs —During a remdenoe of nome ten years as a Missionary in Siam und Uhinu, I found your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera. In administering the medicine, I foiinditmost effectual to give a teaapuonful of Pain JKiiler iu a gill of hot wzAer sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table spoonful ot the srime mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Killer, clear and rub the Hnlbs briskly. Os those who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith fully in the way stated above, eight out Os ten recovered. Yours, truly, R TELFORD. If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, don't delay tbe use of tiie Puin Killer. Sold by all uiodicine dealers. Price, 25 cents, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle. Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866. (icutlemen— * ” ’ 1 want to say a little more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very valuable medicine, and always keen it oil hand. I have travelled a good deal since I nave beep iu Kansas, and never without takiug it with lae. In my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic Cholera, in 1849, and with bolter success titan any other medicine ; I also used it here for cholera iu 1855, with the same good result. ’ Truly, yours, ' A. HUNTING, M. D. SWato, China. Oholcia I * * * I regret to say that the cholera Ims prevailed here of late to' a fearful extent. For the lust, tlifoe weeks, from leu to fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re ported. I should add that the Pain Killer, sent recently trout the Mission House, has been used with considerable success during this epidemic. If taken in season is generally effectual in check ing the disease. Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG, Sbolapore, India. [From the Portland Monthly.] Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowd complaints seem' just now to be the prevailing element, and any medicine that is. every where acceptable, aud that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisition. From what we have seen, heard, aud experienced, we believe Davis' Puin Killer is this desideratum. For the best method of using it, we quote from tbe directions: “For common bowel complaints, give one tea spoonfnl in a gill of new milk and molasses, iu equal parts, stirred well together; lesseu tbe dose for children, Recording to tbe 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 morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re peat the dose every hour. “The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery cored was by taking one epoonftit «f the Pain Killer in one' gill of milk nnd molasses stirred well together and drank hot, at the same time bathing the bowels freely with medieiHe Let tlw.doac be repeated every honr amtij, tbepatient is relieved.” 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. jel2—2m Special Notice. * K > 2 § s ■ Kib JFSMr * s 5 a C A -s ? » 1 2 SI c; co s- Ate H s ■e ; t ~ « o < I—< M ' co a c?
