The most impor tant cases tried were those of the State, vs Mathias Turner for murder, and the same vs Wm. M. Costcphens for stabbing, in each of which cases, a verdict of “Not Guilty” was rendered. Able counsel were engaged on either side in both the cases. The criminal docket is now very light, and we hope it may grow less. 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 But lias Gov. Brown's Administration been a failure? Let us examine and see. During $45,000 of the State debt has been paid; $100,000 of bonds not due, have been ta ken up, and $400,000 paid into tbe treas ury. The State Taxes have been greatly reduced, and arc now lower than in any State in the Union. One hundred thous and dollars in school funds has been set night, would present* magnificent display of the Aurora. 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 Washington Star of the 2d inst. has the following: * 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, bv the agency of the Aurora Borealis a- lone, as the following operator’s despatch will show: Philadelphia, Sept. 2. Something occurred this morning like the affair of Sunday night—the Aurora. The Western line worked with Pittsburg, and from New York to Pittsburg, without a particle of battery at either end. Pro of the Smithsonian Institute 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.

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. oaim Ol me uuue Then the delay has been pleaded.

Execution is stayed by the proviso in the statute till 1st July next. Should the Bank continue to disobey the weeks, and where two Juries are sworn, complete divorce may be gotten at the Well there is another remedy, neither expensive nor tardy, either to the Slate or the woman.

Are these failures —It would be well for every State in the Union, if their Governors had made just such failures, U would have been well for Georgia if their Governors years gone by had made just such failures.

Brown ? They arc mostly men who had a very dull axe 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 present to reply but attending to the bus iness of his office) he, Akin, tells his au- 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 smart man ; is’nt he sharp ? Ought he not to be made Governor ? A man that has not got shrewdness enough to keep out of a rain could not have made a more foolish appeal to the people than Warren Akin has. That Mr. Warren Akin has spoken as we have stated, wc have the tes timony of those who have heard him.— Federal Union. 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.
