General Orders No. 27.
Whereas, By an act of Congress of the
United States, approved March 2d, 1865, it is
made the duty of the military authority to pre
serve the peace at the polls at any election that
may be hold in any of the States ; and - Whereas,
this duty has become the more imperative, from
the existing political excitement in tho public
mind, from the recent organization of civil gov
ernment, and from the fact that Congress has,
by statute, prohibited the organization of mili
tary forces in the several States of this Depart
ment, it is therefore, ordered,
I. That the several District Commanders will,
as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this
order, distribute the troops under their.com
mands as follows:
»*»»*«
In the District of Bouth Carolina:
One company Bth lulantry, to Chester.
One company Sth Infantry, to Unionville.
One company Sth Infantry, to Lanronsvillc.
One company Bth Infantry, to Abbeville.
One company Bth Infantry, to Newberry.
Ono company Sth Infantry, to Edgefield.
One company tith Infantry, to Bcautort.
One company tith Infant-y, to Georgetown.
One company 6th Infantry, to Florence.
In the District of Georgia:
One company 16th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, te Columbus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
One company 16th Infantry, to Augusta.
One company 16th Infantry to Washington
Wilkes county. .
One company 16th Infantry, to Americus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Thomasville.
One company (C) stb cavalry, to Athens.
The company a t Savannah to be reinforced,
should occasion require, by such number of men
at Fort Pulaski as can bo spared from the post.
JI. Detachments, when necessary, may be
made to points in tho vicinity of each post; but
in no case, nor on any pretext whatever, will
detachments be sent without a commissioned
officer, who will be fully instructed by his Port
Commander. • ,
«»»»•»
VHI. District Commanders will instruct Post
Commanders in their duties, and the relative
position of the civil and military powers. They
will furnish them with copies of the circulars
from these Heaquuartirs, of August 25th, and
October Ist ult., (tho latter of which was for
warded September 15th, to District Command
ers), in which the instructions of the War De
artment are set forth in full. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they are to
act in aid and co operation, and in subordination
to the civil authorities; that they are to exercise
discretion and judgment, unbiased by political
or other prejudices ; that their object should be
exclusively to preserve the peace and uphold
law and order, and they must be satisfied such
is the object of the civil officer calling on them
for aid, that they must in all cases where time
will permit, apply for instruction to superior
authority, but they must at all hazards preserve
the peace, and not be restrained by technical
points, when, in their conscientious judgment
under the rules above set forth, it is their duty to
act. Post Commanders, on being notified of the
proposed holding of political meetings, may
scud an officer, and if necessary a detachment,
to watch tho proceedings and see that the peace
is preserved.
IX. To the people of the several States com
posing tho Department, tho Major General Com
manding appeals that they will co-operate with
him and the civil authorities in sustaining law
and order, in preserving the peace and in avoid
ing those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and tho
wanton destruction of property and life, which
has already, in some instances, been enacted in
the Department. He urges abstinence from all
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions ; discountenancing the keeping open of
liquor shops on days of political meetings and of
election; the abstaining from carrying arms,
and asserting the individual right of construing
laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever
advanced by resort to violence. Let there be
charity and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may bo the result; let each
good citizen Utermino that all who, under the
law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points of
law, let them be referred to the Courts, and let
not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsible
bodies, construe and undertake to execute the
law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope
that the Major General Commanding can rely
on the good sense and correct judgment of the
mass of the people, and that he will not be com
pcllwl to resort to the exercise of the power with
which he is intrusted, and which he will most
reluctantly employ. But be thinks it bis duty
to make known, that so far as the power under
his command will admit, he will not permit the
peace to be broken, and that he will not be
restrained in the conscientious discharge of his
duty by technicalities of laws made when the
present anamalous condition of affairs were
neither anticipated or provided for.

The American Artisan
UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
189 Broadway, New York.
M tears. BROWN, COOMBS &• CO., Proprie
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
best aervices to inventors, as Solicitors of Ameri
can ami Foreign Puteuta. Mr. lls.nkv T.Bilown,
of tins firm, has had more than tmenty.two yrars'
experience in that prefession, both in thia 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 inventions of the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brows, Coombs & Co.,
are thoroughly Jamiliar with all the rnles and re
gulations instituted for the rapid tian.sactifin 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 that their post experience, with
their prescut facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all tho docu
ments required liy law in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
ofsuccessiu theiijett'orts tojobtainjLetterSlPatentfor
inventions that are really new and useful. Parti
cttlar care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawings which must always accompany every
application for a patent, ami they employ mine but
the most, efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence,
of the manner in which Messrs. Brown, Coombs'
& Co.'s busluersis performed, is, that the "Am kk
ican Artisan Patbnt Ackncy."during tiiethree
vent s of its existence, has beeu the most successful
institution of the kind ever established.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coombs
& Co. are sit uated at 189 Broadway, opposite John
street. New York, in tile most central part of the
citv. Tliis locution is one of very easy access by
strangers inasmuch as it is within a stone's throw
from the City Hall. AH inventors temporarily so
lourniug fit tlio metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment. ln|the majority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description try
tho visitor will ordinarily suffice io convey such
aknowledge of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
wliethera machine or process is new or old —paten-
table or not. The office hours lire from 9 a.m.
t 0.5 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 macliinc or oilier 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 umtuie exper
ience; but if an inventor desires to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea has ever been embodied
in a machine og process already patented, Iris wisest
course will be to have a predimmary 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 fnll and carefully written
report as to tin patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this labor the small fee of
$5 is payable in advance ; and the i emittance
should be accompanied by a -ketch of tlie invention
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those pifintsof novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Patent
Pateiits fur new and useful inventions arc now
granted fertile term of seventeen teaks The
first instalment ol’che Government fee ia sls, which
•sura—together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax
on the power of attorney—is payable m advance.,
on applying for the patent; and S2O additional are
due to the Government when the Letters-Patent are
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved: but m ail cases our
charges wiil be as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawings and all necessary doouiueuts.
This fee is not payable until after the application
has been prepared and the case is ready to be sent
.to Washington. Messrs. Brows, Coombs & Co.
have a branchin Washington so thatall applica
tious made through them can haveevery necessary
attention in their passage through the Patent Office
Inventors applying for patents must furnish

A MEDICINAL.
Asiatic Cholera in China.

CURED WITH
PAIN KJLLEII.
o
1 > EADTHF. FOLLOWING LETTER FROM
Av Rev. R. Ti lford, Missionary iu China, now
visiting hishonia in Pennsylvania:
Wash ington. Pa., June2s, 1866.
Messrs. Perry l)avis& Son, Providence, R. J.:
Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a invßt valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, th< Clmlera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sagar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful of the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach witli Pain
Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the wty stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
r Telford.
If an attack with Dianhoea, Dysentery, or
• Cuunp Colic, don't delay the use of the Pain
Kffler. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, stl cents, and $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 keep it on lutnu.
1 have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
In my practice I used it freely for tlie Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any
other medicine; I also used it here for cholera’u
18.55, with the same goad result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swato, China.
Cholera! * * * I regret to say that the
cholera has 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, scut
recently from the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
It taken in season is generally etfectual in check
ing tlie disease.

Summer Complaint and Dysentery,
Bvwel complaint* seem just now. to be the
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
every where acceptable, and that is reliable, id n
very desirable acquisition. From what wo have
Been, heard, ami experienced, we believe Davia’
Pain Killer is thia desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from the-directions:
‘•For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoon tul in agiil of new milk molasses, in
equal naris, stirred well together; lessen*the dose
tor children, according to the age. Ls the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the modi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
t lie choler i morbus, sudden stoppagea, etc. Re
peat, the dose every hour.
' “The quickest way 1 ever saw the dysentery
cored 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 be repeated every hour utUil the patient
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—2oi
