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.

The American Artisan UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN PATENT AGENCY. 189 Braadway, New York. Messre. BROWN. COOMBS A- CO.. Proprie tors <>l tlie AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their best services to inventor!, as Solicitors of Ameri can aud Foreign Patents. Mr. HenryT.Bnows. of this firm, has bad more than twenty-two yeart' 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 portant inventions ol the present century hi; ve been prepared by him. Messrs. Brown . Coombs dr-Co., are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re gulations instituted for the rapid transaction of business with the United States Patent Office, and 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 ments required by law in applications for patents, and io promise their clients an absolute certainly oftuccessin tlieir|eti'orts to,obtain;Letters;Patent for 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 &. 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. Coombs & Co. hie 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. Ail inventors temporarily so touruing in the metropolis are invited to visit this establishment. 1 n|the majority of instance no model or drawing of an invention will be necessary on the first interview, as a mere oral description by tha visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such aknowledge of hip iuveutionas Will enable Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine wliethern machine or process is nCw or old—paten table or not. The office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 k.’m. 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 be conveniently mid cheaply eeiitby mail The model inuat not exceed one foot in any of itsdimips ions, unless it is of such a character that it i- 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. Beside: patents or new and nsefin inventiontf 1 , there are also granted patents for resigns. Desi--i> ! •■■• ms arc not now, as formerly, limited strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under Section 11 of the Act of March 2, 1861, any new /orniofiiny article, orttny impressi,inmtrJiyure upon the snrfaceof any article or material, by whatever means or process produced, can be patented. Un del' this Act. patentees are entitled to the exten sion of thfeir respective patents for tho term of seven years from the day on which said patents shall'ex pire, upon the same terms and restrictions as-are now provided fertile extensions of Letters Piitent.. Among the numerous subjects for patents of this class iuay be particularly mentioned—castings of all metals, parts of machines, household fiunltaie and utensils; glnteware, hardware of ail kinds, cornices,and other interior and exterior decor lions of buildings;also, designs for woven and printed fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmings, and har ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per fumery, ami all preparations, compositions, or merchnndi-e, put up in bottles, boxes or other packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forms ot such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and envelopes, likewise all works of art, as statuary, busts, compositions in alto or basso relievo. The .Government fee on a design patent ford} years is $10; 7 years, sls; 11 years, S3O.

ALMOST EVERY CASE CURED WITH PAIN KILLER. 0 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. Rev. CHARLES IIARDINIG, Sholapore. India, | From the Portland Monthly.] 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 Special Notice.
