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 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 tile in ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by express, prepaid), together with the firstinstalnieu oftlie Government fee,to Messrs Brown, Coom ns & Co. When tile model is small and light, it can be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The model must not exceed one foot in any of itsdinieus 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 and useful inventions, there are also granted patents lot* ucsigns. Di-sian-patents are not now, as formerly, limited strictly to'ornamental coiifiguration ; but under Section 11 of tho Act of March 2. 1861, any new form ol any article, or airy impression or figure upon the slirfacoof any article or material, by whatever means or'procese produced, can bo patented. L'n ■der this Act, patentees arc entitled to the exten sion of their respective patents for tho term of screw years from the day on which said patents shall ex pire, upon the same terms and restrictions as are now provided forthe extensions of (tettars-Patent. Among the numerous subjects foi patents of this class maybe particularly mentioned—castings of all metals, parts of machines, household fiunituie and utensils; glafc ware, hardware of all kinds, corniaes, and other interior and exterior decorations of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmmgs, and har ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per fumery, mid all preparations, compositions, or mercliaudi-e, put up in bottles, boxes, or other packages, arc suitable subjects; also, the forms ol such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and envelopes, likewise all works of art,as statuary, bust', compositions in alto or basso relievo. The Government fee on a design patent for 3( years is $1(1; ; years, sls; 11 years, S3O. No modvls of designs are required; but duplicate drawiugs or photographs must be furnished- Tlie specification to accompany the drawings or photographs re quires tn be prepared with great care, Messrs Brown, Uoombs & Co. give very particular at teution to this branch of their business. Their charge for preparing applications lor design patents is generally about sls. Design paleutp are ouiy granted to American citizensor to aliens who have resided one year in the United States and made oath of their loteutiop to become citizens thereof. The facilities of Messrs. Brown, Coom bs &. Co for obtaining patents in the various European countries are cqqpl if not superior to those of any other in tlie United States. With regard to their qualifications for such business, it need only be stated that Mr. Brown has had the prepara tion of more European applications than any otliei person in this country, Messrs. Brown, Coombs i Co., besides having « branch office in Washington, have their own agencies in the principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating to foreign patent business will be furnished free on application personally or by mail. Messrs.

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. Krv. CHARLES HARDINIG. • Sholnpore, India. . | From the Portland Monthly.| 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 •pecial Notice.
