the faith of what property credit vftts givefl
t > him, and what tender or tenders of pay
ment he made to the creditors at any time,
and that the non-payment of the debt or
d ebts was owing to the refusal of the

General Orders No. 27.
Whereas, By au act of Congress of the
United States, approved March 2d, 1865, it is
made the duty of the military authority to pre
serve tho peace nt tho polls at any election that
may he held in any of the States ; and WAereus,
this duty has become tho 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 tho 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 tho receipt of this
order, distribute the troops under their com
mands as follows:
* » » » * »
In the District of South Carolina:
One company Bth Infantry, to Chester.
One company Bth Infantry, to Unionville.
One company Sth Infantry, to Laurensvillc.
One company Sth Infantry, to Abbeville.
One company Bth Infantry, to Newberry.
JOue company Bth Infantry, to Edgefield.
One company 6th Infantry, to Beaufort.
One company 6th 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, to Columbus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
Ono 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) sth cavalry, to Athens.
The company a t Savannah to be reinforced,
should occasion require, by such number ci mon
at Fort Pulaski as can be spared from the post.
11. Detachments, when necessary, may bo
made to points in the vicinity of each post; but
in no ease, nor on any pretext whatever, will
detachments be sent without a commissioned
officer, who will be fully instructed by his Poet
(’em mnnder.
# * « # * -»
VIII. District Commanders will instruct Post
Commanders in their duties, and the relative
position of the civil aud military powers. They
will furnish them with copies of the. circulars
from those Heaquuart.is, of August 2ith, and
October Ist ult., (tho latter of which was for
warded September 15th, to District Command
ers), iu which the instructions of the War De
artmen t 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 tho civil authorities; that they arc to exorcise
discretion and judgment, unbiased by political
or other prejudices ; that their object should bo
exclusively to preserve the peace and uphold
law and order, and they must bo sa'isfied such
is the object of tho 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 al all hazards preserve
the peace, and not bo restrained by technical
points, when, in their conscient ous judgment
under tho rules above sot forth, it is their duty to
act. Post Commanders, on being notified of the
proposed holding of political meetings, may
send an officer, aud if necessary a detachment,
to watch the proceedings and see that the peace
is preserved.
IX. To tho people of the several States com
posing the Department, tho Major General Com
manding appeals that they will co operate with
him and the civil authorities iu sustaining law
and order, in preserving the peace and iu 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 tie
passions; discountenancing tho 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 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, lot them be relerred to the Courts, and lot
not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsible
bodies, construe aud undertake to execute the
law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope
that tho Major General Commanding can rely
on the good sense and correct judgment of the
mass of the people, and that ho will not be com
pelled to resort to the exercise of tho power with
which he is intrusted, and which he will most
reluctantly employ. But he thinks it bis duty
to make known, that so far as the power under
his cominaud 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
UN ITED STATES AN D FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
189 Broadway, New York.
Messrs. BROWN, COOMBS &. CO.. Propria
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, oiler thnir
best services to inventors, as Solicitors of Ameri
can and Foreign Patents. Mr. Henry T. Brown,
of this firm, bas bad more than twenty-two years'
experieMß in that prefession, both hi this country
and Europe, and his long practice has made
hitn personally known to thousands of inven
tors and patentees. The applications for the
patents upon many of tho greater and more im
portantin ventions of the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Goomas & Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all tho rules and re
gulations iiiAituted for the rapid transaction of
business with tho United States Patent Office, and
t ho general practice in the Patent Bureaus of van
oiis European countries; and this knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present unequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required liy law iu applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certaiMy
of vucccssin iheitjeflorte toobtainlLettersJ’atent for
inventions that arc really new aud useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drairinys which must always accompany every
application for a patent, and they employ none but
the most efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the maimer in which 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.
Tho principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coombs
& Co. are situated nt 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 withiu a stone's throw
from (lie City Hall. All inventors temporarily so
touruiug in the metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment. Injthe majority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention 'will be necessary on
tho first interview, «s a mere oral description by
die visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
whet her a tniichine or process is new or’old—paten
table or not. The office hours are from 9 a.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—icrtZZeii opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do thia 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, uml as soon as pos
sible thereafter a letter of the best advice is mail
ed to the person desiring tho information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if mi inventor desires to know, positively,
wlietlier his incipient idea has ever been embodied
in a machine or process al read bis wisest
course will be to have a preliminary examination
made at tho United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special
searclqamong nil therecordsof that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability oLtlie invention un
der examination. For this labor the small fee of
is payable in advance; and the remittance
should be accompanied by a -ketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those pointsof novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Lelteis-
Patent,
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
'granted for the term of seventeen years The
firstinstalnient ofjtlie Government fee is f 15, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax
on Hie power of-attorney— is payable tn advance,
on applying for tho patent; and S2O additional are
due to the Government when the Letters Patent lire
allowed. The. Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our
charges will te us moderate ns possible in the pre
paration of drawings and all necessary documents.
This fee is not parable 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 that all applica
tious made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage through the Patent Office
Inventors applying for |fatenta must furnish
models of their machines, whoever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners in the Patent
Office; but if the invention is adieniii > composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should bo marked with the in

Patents, except those for designs, are granted
on eq uni terms to cit izens and al I 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 for uesigus.
Design-patents are not now, as formerly, limited
strictly to ornamental conligniiition -. but under
Sei lion 11 of tho Act of March 2.1861, any new
/orwofany article, or any impression orjtyure upon
the surface of any article or material, by whatever
menus 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 »ecen
years from the day on which said patents shaft ex
pire, upon the same terms and restrictions as are
now provided fortlie extensions of Letters Patent.
Among the numerous subjects lot patents of this
class may be particularly mentioned—eastings of
all metals, paits of machines, household furniture
ano utensils; glassware, hardware of all hinds,
cornices,mid otheriuterior and exterior decorations
of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed
fabrics, dress mid upholstery trimmings, anil har
ness labels and trademarks for medicines, per
fumery. mid all preparations, compositions, or
inerchaiidi e, put up in bottles, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forms of
such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and
likewise alk works of mt, an statuary,
busts, compositions in alto or basso-relievo. The
Government foe on a design patent for 3j years is
$1(1,7 years, sls; 11 years, S3O. No models of
Ucsigns are required; but duplicate drawings or
photographs must be furnished- Tho specification

quires to be prepared with great care. Me..; rs
Brown, Coombs & Co. give very particular at
tention to this branch of their business. Their
charge for preparing applications for design-patents
is generally about slu. Design patents are only
granted to American cltizensor to aliens who have
resided one year in the United States mid made
oath of their intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Messrs. Beown, CGombs & Co
for obtaining patents in the various European
countries are equal if uot superior to those of any

qualifications for such business, it need only be
stated that Mr. Brown has had the prepara

MEDICINAL.
Asiatic Cholera in China.
ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KILL Ell.
.—o
I > EAD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM
R ev .,R. Telford, Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., Juuh2s, 1866.
Messrs. Perry Davis it- Son, Providence, R. I. :
Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary iu Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge r tlie Cholera.
In administering tile medicine, I found it most
ell'ectual to give a teaspoouful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
epoonful ol the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe tho stomach with Pain
Killer, clear mid rub the limbn briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the way mated above, eight, out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
R ’TELFORD.
If tin attack with Diarrhoea, Dyscntesy, or
Cramp Colic, don't, delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Bold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cent®, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1866.
Gentlemen— * * ’ I .want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. 1 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 1 used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any
other medicine ; J also used it here for cholera in
1655, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swato, China.
Cholera ! * * * 1 regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the lust three weeks, from ton to
fifty or sixty fatal eases each day bas been re
ported. 1 should add that the Pain Killer, sent
recently from the Mission Ilouse, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally ell'ectual iu check
ing the disease.
Rev. CHARLES lIARDINIG,
Sholapore, India.
[From tlie Portland Monthly.]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to bo the
prevailing clement, and any medicine that is
every where acceptable, and that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, ami experienced, wo believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the beet
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonful in asiil of new milk and molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the Jose
for children, according to the ago. If tho puffi be
severe, bathe the bowels mid back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good iu cases of
■the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the doseevery hour.
“The quickest wuy I ever saw tho dysentery
cured was by tailing one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in oue gill of milk aud molasses stirred
well together and drank hot, at Hie same time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let
the dose be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved."
If every person who has reaeon to fem- this
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we
believe a great amount of siifl'eriug and sickness
would be saved. jel2—2tn
