Has Governor Brown’s Administration
Been a Failure ?
Some of the Opposition papers are now,
asserting that Gov. Brown’s Administra
tion has been a failure. We understand
also that Mr. Akin has everywhere on his
circuit made the same charge. This is a
very recent discover}'. But a few weeks
back, before the Opposition concluded to
run a candidate, nearly all the Opposition
leaders acknowledged that Gov. Brown
had made a good Governor, and that his
administration had been very successful.
—Even Ben Hill, the great high priest of
the Opposition, declared that if Governor
Brown would just step off of the Demo
cratic platform lie would support him.—
Warren Akiu, we believe, has said Sub
stantially the same thing. lias Governor
Brown made any blunder, or committed
any crime since these admissions were
made ? Not one, so far as we have heard.
What then has caused this great change
in the sentiments of Opposition leaders ?
The fact is, there has been no change of
sentiment. The Opposition leaders know
as well now as they did before Mr. Akin
was nominated, that Governor Brown’s
Administration has been successful, but
since they have had an Opposition candi
date in the field, they have been forced to
change their tactics. There has been no
change in their opinion, they know now
as well as they did six weeks ago, that
Brown is a good Governor, but as they
have a candidate in the field, they are
forced to say something now against Gov.
Brown, for the benefit of Akin. Oh con
sistency ! Oh honesty ! Have you both
entirely left the ranks of the Opposition i

We observed the influence upon the
lines at the time of commencing business
—eight o’clock—and it continued so strong
up to half past nine as to prevent any bus
iness being done, excepting by throwing
off the batteries at each end of the line
and working by atmospheric current en
tirely ! Several dispatches were in this
way received from Portland, Maine, as
well as over the line between South Brain
tree and Fall river, where they cut the
batteries off, and worked for some time
with the current from the magnetic storm.
The waves were longei than I have ever
seen them before, lasting sometimes over
a minute; but the same peculiarities of
changing the poles was observed.
At about ten o’clock the storm partial
ly subsided so as to enable the lines to
resume the use of their batteries; but up
to the present writing—eleven A. M. the
lines arc still affected. P.

The splendid exhibition of Aurora Bo
realis last Sunday night, besides aston
ishing the wakeful lunarians, puzzled the
operators of the various telegraph lines to
a considerable extent,and played the deuce
with their messages. After battering a-
guinst their subtle atmospheric opponent
to a very late hour, they gracefully ac
knowledged a Solferinian defeat, and clos
ed their respective lines.
Last night the heavens exhibited a sim
ilar appearance, and tlie presence of a su
perabundance of atmospheric electricity
has been evident along all the lines lead
ing from this city to-day. Finding it im
possible to send and receive messages cor
rectly by the use of their batteries, the op
erators, both here and in Philadelphia, de
tached their battery conductors and work
ed their lines, or at least readable signals,

lone, as the following operator’s despatch
will show:

Something occurred this morning like
the affair of Sunday night—the Aurora.

and from New York to Pittsburg, without
a particle of battery at either end. Pro

The Bank of the
| State no more than the humblest citizen
of the State can be an exception to this
rule. Ours is a government of equality,
in which no one however high is above
the law, and no one however low is be
neath its protection.
When I issued my proclamation of 6th
Dec. last, calling on the Banks of this
State to make their returns to this office
as the statutes required, the 11th section
of the act of 1857, prescribing the form of
the oath to be taken by Bank officers in
making their returns, was and still is, of
full force, together with other acts which
prescribe what the returns shall contain,
and the penalty to be inflicted upon such
delinquent Banks as fail to obey the law.
At that time the only penalty was that
the names of the delinquent Banks be pub
lished, and that their bills be excluded
from the Treasury of the State, in pay
ment of any debts due the State, 4c. The
Bank of the State of Georgia having with
others, failed and refused to make its re
turn accompanied by the oath prescribed
by the 11th section of the act of 1857,
within the time limited by the statutes,
incurred this penalty, which I have im
posed upon it by my proclamation of the
7th inst
On the 11th day of Deceinber 1858 the
legislature passed another statute to im
pose additional penalties on the Banks of
this State, so as to compel them to com
ply with the requisitions of the act of
1857.
This statute was passed on account of
the refusal of most the Banks of this State,
(the bank of the State of Ga. among the rest)
obey the law. This statute gives the Banks
till 1st January 1859 to make their re
turns accompanied by affidavits in terms
of the Statute of 1857. In case of refusal
of any Bank to make its return as direct
ed by 1st January 1859 the statute impo
ses an additional penalty of two per cent
per month on its capital stock from that
time, to be levied and collected by execu
tion from the office of the Comptroller
General with a proviso staying execution
till 1st July next, and declaring that the
Bank may in the mean time prevent the
issuing of execution by making its regu
lar annual and semi-annual returns 4c. I
have as above remarked imposed upon the
Bank of the State of Georgia, and other
the Constitution, nor its principles, guar
antees to us the right to hold slaves in the
public domain, but it is a right to be de
termined by the squatters in the Territo
ries. Seward maintains the same doctrine,
with this addition: that as we have no
such constitutional right, the whole sub
ject is in the discretion of Congress, and
Congress ought to exercise its discretion
to our complete exclusion. They agree as
to our constitutional rights, and differ as
to the best method of excluding us. It is
true Seward goes farther than Douglas,
because he has seen this antagonism must
be fought out to the bitter end, but Doug
las’ very doctrine is an admission of the
antagonism. The argument then “hath
this extent—no more:’ that altho’ Doug
las’ position should not be submitted to,
Seward’s position is much worse for us—
therefore, let us join Douglas instead of
standing on our reserved rights, and op
pose them both. Such reasoning as this
works itself into an absurdity, and if we
ollouv it up, after awhile we will find Sew
ard going one step farther than he now
does, and Douglas, or some other North
ern statesman will step upon what is Sew
ard’s platform now. Then we shall be in
vited to support such and such a man be
cause he is the only one that can save us
from Seward’s new heresy, whereas we
have to adopt his old one to get lid of his
new one. So by-and by we find ourselves
promoting Seward’s doctrine, if not Sew
ard's self.
The argument in favor of Douglas is a
fallacy that ought to be exposed.—Albany

Gav. Brown and the Pool Woman.
Col. Akin and his friends have been
greatly exercised over Gov. Brown’s cru
elty to that poor woman of Augusta.—
When Gov. Brown vetoed Mrs. Zinn’s bill
he was informed that the husband and
wife were living together. The Opposi
tion say that Mrs. Zinn had been deserted
by her husband about two years, and that
he was living in adultery. 11 the above
be true, Mrs. Zinn had two sufficient rem
edies. We have pointed out one of those
remedies already. The “ Journal 4 Mes
senger” has tried to break the point of the
divorce argument, by suggesting the cost
of a suit to the poor woman. We know
enough of the Augusta bar, to assert, that
such a case as Mrs. Zinn’s may always find
an attorney, without fee, if there is as
much merit in it as the papers make out.

and the Bank is still delinquent, the addi- same term,

gainst it. Execution is stayed by the
proviso in the statute till 1st July next.

If CoL Akin knew more about the laws
of his own State, his rating» about the
of his abuse of Gov. Brown (who is not

dicnces that he would have supported Gov.
Brown if he had run as »n independent
candidate. Although Mr. Akin has abus
ed Gov. Brown so roundly, he admits that
Gov. Brown has made a good Governor,
and brands his own charges as false, when
he says he would have supported him if
Gov. Brown had not accepted a party nom
ination. And this, fellow Democrats, is
the argument offered by the Know-Noth
ing candidate for Governor, why you
should not vote for Gov. Brown—because
he is a Democrat and re-nominated by the
Democratic party! Is’nt Warren Akin a

Salt Lake.
Mr. Greely, in one of his letters to the
Tribune, from Utah, gives the following
concerning this remarkable body of water:
That this Lake should be salt, is no an
omaly. All large bodies of water into
which streams discharge themselves, while
they have severally no outlet, are or should
be salt. If one such is fresh, that is an
anomaly indeed. Lake Utah probably re
ceives as much saline matter as Salt Lake,
but she discharges it through the Jordan,
and remains herself fresh; while Salt Lake
having no issue save by evaporation, is
probably the saltest body of water on the
earth. The ocean is comparatively fresh;
even the Mediterranean at Leghorn is not
half so salt.
I am told that three barrels of this wa
ter yield a barrel of salt; that seems rath
er strong, yet its intense saltness, no one
who has not had it in his eyes, his mouth,
his nostrils, can realize. You can no more
sink iu it than in a clay bank, but a very
iittle in your lungs would suffice to stran
gle you. You make your way ill from a
hot, rocky bench, over a chaos of volcanic
basalt that is trying to the feet; but at
the depth of a yard or more you have a
fine sandy bottom, and here the bathing
is delightful.
The water is of a light green color for
ten or twenty rods ; then “deeply, dark
ly, beautifully blue.” No fish can live in
it, no frog abides in it; few birds are ever
seen dipping into it. The rugged moun
tains in and about it—just such scraped
and seamed and gullied precipices as I
have been describing ever since I left Den
ver—have a little fir or cottonwood, or
quaking asp, in their deeper ravines or
behind their taller cliffs, but look bare and
desolate to the casual observer; and these
cut the Lake into sections and hide most
of it from view. Probably less than a
third of it is visible from any single point.
But this suffices.
The “ Opposition Victory” in Texas.
The Opposition Journals seem to l>e
greatly elated at the election of Sam Hou
ston to the Governorship of Texas. They
speak of it as the hand-writing on the wall
foreshadowing the fate of Texas Democ
racy in the election of 1860. Have they
read any of the reports of the speeches of
Houston, delivered in the late canvass ?
If so, they must know that his election
cannot be claimed as an Opposition tri
umph. In his speech at Nacodoges, as
written by himself) Gen. Houston came
out decidedly in favor of the administra
tion of Mr. Buchanan, and of the princi
ples and measures of the Democratic par
ty. Read the following passage from that
speech:
“My principles you all know. I hare
ever been opposed to banks; opposed to
internal improvement by the general gov
ernment ; opposed to the distribution of
public lands among the States; opposed
