Atlanta, Ga., October 8, ItjJSS. J
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 bo held in any of the States; and IFAe.-e«»,
this duty has become the more imperative, from
the existing political excitement in the pubiic
mind, from the recent organisation of civil gov
ernment, and from the fact that Congress has,
by statute, prohibited the organisation 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 South Carolina:
One company Sth Infantry, to Chester.
One company Bth Infantry, to Unionville.
One company Sth Infantry, to Laurcnsville.
Ono company Sth Infantry, to Abbeville.
One company Sth Infantry, to Newberry.
One company Sth Infantry, to Edgefield.
One company 6th Infantry, to Beaufort.
Ono company 6th Infantry, to Georgetown.
One company 6th Infantry, to Florence.
In the District of Georgia:
One company 16th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, to Columbus.
• One company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
One company 16th Infantry, to Augusta.
One company I6th Infantry to Washington
Wilkes county.
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Americus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Thomasville.
One company (C) slh cavalry, to Athens.
The company a t Savannah to be reinforced,
should occasion require, by such number of men
at Fort Pulaski as can be spared from the post.
«■ » » « »- *
11. Detachments, when necessary, way be
made to points in the 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 bis Post
Commander.
« » ♦ » » »
VIII. District Commanders will instruct Post
Commanders in their duties, and the relative
position of the civil and military They
will furnish them with copies of the circulars
from these Hoaquuaxtrrs, of August 25th, and
October Ist ult., (the latter of which was for
warded September 15th, to District Command
ers), in which the instructions of the War De-
artioont are sot -forth in full. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they are to
act in aid end co operation, and in subordination
to the civil authorities; that they are to exorcise
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
send an officer, and if - necessary a detachment,
to watch the proceedings and see that the peace
is preserved.
IX. To the people of the several States com
posing the Department, the Major General Com
manding appeals that they will co-opcratc 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 the
wanton destruction of property and life, which
has already, in some instances, been enacted in
the Department. lie urges abstinence from all
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions ; discountenancing the keeping open of
liquor shops on days of political mootings 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 be the result; let each
good citizen determine 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 bo 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
pelled to resort to the exorcise of the power with
which be is intrasted, and which he will most
reluctantly employ. But ho thinks it his duty
to make known, that so far as the power under
his command will admit, be 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, Neto York.
Mrs. , :. BROWN, COOMBS & CO.. Proplie
tars of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
best services to inventors, as Solicitors of Ameri
can mid Foreign Patents. Mr. Hunky T. Brown,
of this firm, has had more than twenty-two years'
expeiieace in that prefession, both in this country
and Europe, and his long practice lias made
liim personally known to thousands of inven
tors ami patentees. The applications for the
patents upon many of the greater and more im
portant inventions ol the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co.,
are thoroughly fainiliiir with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid transaction of
business with the United Slates Patent Office, and
the geueial practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; and this knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present nnequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required by law in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainly
ofevccesSln theirjeffort.s to'obtain’Lettei sJ’atent for
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, and they employ none but
tbs most efficient draughtsmen. Tint bestevidence
of the manner in winch Messrs. Brown, Coombs
&. Co.’s business is performed,is, that the “Amer
ican Artisan Patent Agency, ’during the three
years of its existence, has been the most successful
institution of the kind ever established.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coomns
Uo. 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 within a stone's throw
from the City Hall. All inventors temporarily ho
jouming in the metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment. Injthemajority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will he necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
tlie visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey sucli
aknowledge of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
wlict he r a 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 of the machine or other in
vinition 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 tho person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if au inventor dost res to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea has ever been embodied
in a machine or process already patented, his wisest
course will be to have a preliminary ecaminalion
made.at the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special
aeiircb',among all therecordsof that institution, and
then promptly forward a full aud carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this Tabor the small lee ol
$5 is payable in advance; and the remittance
should lie accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a tow lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Patent
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
granted for the term of Seventeen years The
first instalment ofthe Government lee is sls, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stump-tax
outlie power of attorney—is payable tn advance,
for the potent; and $-<’ additional are
due to th., Government when the 1 sitters Patent, are
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward; ac
cording to the labor involved; but m all eases our
charges will be as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawings aud all necessary documents.
This fee is not payable until lifter the application
bus been prepared and tho case is ready to b<- sent
to kVa hington Mesera. Bbown. Coombs & Co.
have a branch in Washington ho tlmtall applica
tions made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage through the PatentOmye
Inventors applying tor patents must tnrnish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners in Die Patent
Office; but if the invention is acbemical composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will bo neces
sary. Each of these should be marked with tho in

Asiatic Cholera in China.
ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KILLER.
o
I T EAD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM
I t Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania;
AVabhington, Pa., June 25,1866
Messrs. I’crry DarisJ: Son, Providence, U. I.:
Dear Sira-During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Sitim 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
eti’ectual to give a teaspoonl'itl of I’aiu Killer in a
gill of hot water uweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful ol tho same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clem and rub the limbs.briskly. Os those
whirlmd the cholera, mid took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
RTELFORD.
If mi attack with Dimthoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't dgjay the use of the Pain
Killer. Mold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, 50 cents, and ?I per bottle.
Manhattan. Kansas, April 17,18G6.
Gentlemen— * » ’ p want to say a little
more about tho I’ain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable medicine, and always keep it on band.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, ami never without taking it with me.
In my practice 1 used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success Hum any
other medicine; I also used it here for cholera iu
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. 1).
Swato, China.
Oholcia! ;i * * I regret to say that the
cholera lias prevailed here of late to a femful
extent. For the last throe 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 iu season is generally ett’ectmil in cheek
ing the disease. “
Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG,
Sholapore, India.
IFioin the Portland Monthly.]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints scorn Just now to be the
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what wo have
seen, heard, mid 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 ono tea
spoonful in a gill oi new milk and motnsses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose
tor children, according to the age. If the pajn 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 1 ever saw the dyeeutei y
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 tho bowels freely with medicine. Let
the doso be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved.’’
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, ami use as occasion requmsd, wo
believe a great, amount of snllering mal sickness
would be saved. jePJ—2ni
