Atlanta, Ga., October 8, 1868. J
ffenernZ Ordert -Vo. 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 pro
serve the peace at the polls at any election that
may bo hold in any of the States ; and Whereat,
this duty has become the more imperative, from
the existing political excitement in the pubiic
mind, from the recent organization of civil gov
erhment, 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 South Carolina:
Ono company Sth Infantry, to Chester.
One company Sth Infantry, to Unionville.
Oue company Bth Infantry, to Lauronsville.
One company Sth Infantry, to Abbeville.
Ono company Bth Infantry, to Newberry.
One company Sth Infantry, to Edgefield.
One company Gth Infantry, to Beaufort.
One company 6th Infant-y, to Georgetown.
One company 6th Infantry, so Florence.
In the District of Georgia :
Ono 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. \
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Americus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Thomasville.
One company (C) 5111 cavalry, to Athens.
Tire company a t Savannah to be reinforced,
should occasion require, by such number oi men
at Fort Pulaski as cau he spared from the post.
*»»»•*
11. Detachments, when necessary, may be
made to points in the vicinity of each post; but
iu no case, uor on any pretext whatever, will
detachments be sent, without a commissioned
officer, who will be fully instructed by his Post
Commander.
***»•*
VIII. 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 Heaquuart'rs, 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
art men t arc set forth in full. They will
impress on Post Compiaodcrs that they are to
a< t in aid and c • operation, and iu subordination
to the civil authorities; that they arc 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 sa islied such
is (be object of the civil officer calling on them
for aid, that (hey must hi 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 cwnseiebtous judgment
under the rules above set forth, it is their duty to
act. Post Commanders, on being notified of the
proposed holding of politic al md tings, may
send an officer, and if necessary a detachment,
to watch the proceedings and sec that the peace
is preserved.
IN. To the 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 in sustaining law
and order, in preserving the peace and in avoid
ing those scenes of riot and blood.-hed, and the
v,’anion destruction of property and life, which
has already, in some instance 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 tho individual right of construing
laws by force of arms. No just causo is ever
advanced by resort to violence. Let there bq
charity and forbearance among* political oppo
nents, whatever may be the result ; lot each
good citizen determine that all who, under the
law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there arc 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
tba f the Major General Commanding can rely
on the good sense and correct judgment of tho
mass if the people, aud that he will not be com
pelled to resort to the exercise of the power with
which he is intrusted, and which ho will most
reluctantly employ. But he thinks it his duty
to make known, that so far as tho power under
his command will admit, be will not permit tho
peace to bo broken, and that he will not bo
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.

experience in that profession, both in this country
and Europe, and his long pugdtice has made
him personally known to thontjand, of inven
tors and patentees. The applicanoos for the
patents upou many of the greater and more im

the geneinl practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous 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

inventions that are really new and useful. Parti
eular care is given to tiie execution of the accurate
drawings winch must always accompany every
application for a patent, and they employ none but
ihe most efficient, draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the manner in which .Messrs. Brown, Coombs

ican Artisan Patent Agency, " during the three
years of its existence, has been the most successful
institution of the kind ever established.

city- This location is one of very easy access by
strangers inasmuch as it is within a stone's throw

touruing in the metropolis are invited to visit this

Messrs. Brown , Loombs & Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York—free of charge— vritlbi opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do tins they simply require a
•■ketch or rough model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together with
a brief description of the same, aud us soon as pos
sible thereafter a letter of the best advice jatnail
ed tolbe person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if an inventor desires to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea lias ever been embodied
in a machine or process already patented, his wisest
course will be to have u preliminary examination
made at the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a.special
Bearchjainoug all the records of that instil ntioii, aud
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability ofthe invention un
der examination. For Hub labor the small fee of
!f;> is payable in advance; aud Uie remittance
should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the sain“.
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 offthe Governmem fee is sls, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax
ou the power-of-attorney—is payable tn 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 tn all cases our
Charges will be as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawings and all necessary documenta.
This fee is not payable until after the application
has been prepared and the case is ready to be sent
to Wivhington. Messrs. Brown. Coombs Co.
have a branchin Washington so thatall applies
tious made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage through the Patent Office
Inventors applying for patents mu t furnish
models of their machines, whenever | • ible, for
the insp-clii'ii of the Examiners Patent
Office; but it the invention is a chemical composi
tion; simples of all the ingredients will lie neees
sarv. Each of these should be marked with the in
venter’s name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
exprewi, prcpniil), together with the. first instalinen
ofi lie Government fee, to Messrs Brown. Coombs
& Co. When the model is small and light, it can

LJ EAD TIIE FOLLOWING LEITER FROM
V Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., Juno-5. 1866.
Messrs. Perry Uavisd Son, Providence,H. I.:
Dear Sirs—-During a residence of somfe tea
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful sconrge, the Cholera.
In administering the mediciue, I found it most
effectual to give a tcHspooidal of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot wr.ter sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to glye a table
spoonful of the same ndxturo every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomacn with Pain
Killer, clear ami rub the limbs briskly. Os those
who bad the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated nbeve, eight rnit often
recovered. Yours, truly,
r Telford.
If an attack with Dianhuia, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers Price, 25
cents, 50 cents, and fl per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866.
Gentlemen- * • • I want to say a littls
more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable mrdiciw, and always keep 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, mid with better success than any
other medicine ; I also used it here for cholera m.
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. DI
8w vro, China.
Cholcia! * * * I regret to say that the
cholera han prevailed here of late to a fearfiil
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, sent
recently from the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success 'lining this epidemic.
If taken inTeason is generally c.tt'ectiuri in check
ing the disease.

Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints kwmm just now to be the
prevailing clement, and any medfcine that is
everywhere acoofftable, antr*Lhat is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition From what welmve
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis’
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from the directions;
“For common bowel oue teu
spooiitul in agiU of new milk aua molaaMi. iu
equal paru, stirred well together; lesaen the dose
for children, according to the :tgc. If the pair» be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden slippages, etc. Re
peat the dose every luufr
“The quickest vvay 4 ever saw the dysentery
cured was by faking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer m one gill of milk ami luolhshob stirred
well together and drank hot. at the 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 reason to fear this
disease would provide themsgbves - with a bottle
of this medicine, arid use as occasion, required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would be saved je!2—2m
