LAMEST PITY fIiUTLATION.
ACOUBTA. UA.I
FRIDAY MORNING »..Ort. It, ISM
A Dictatorship.
Notwithstanding th« belief of *omo
of the newspaper* of the country, that
the idea that the American people
would allow the exerciae of the one
man power is absurd and insulting,
such a thing as a Dictatorship i* feasi
ble and possible.
Sure)?, they who argue otherwise
hare read history to little advantage.
People are the same in all ages
and in all countries. They are what
Governor Pierpont, of Virginia, calls
“luacbee of dough,” and may be knead
ed and worked to auit the fancy of any
skilfhl political leader who has the
will to do and the nerve to dare. The
American people are not exceptions to
this characteristic of human nature.
They do not differ from those of Rome,
of England, of France, of Mexico.
Rome had its Nero, its Caligula, its
Cesar; England had its Henry VIII,
its Edward VI, its Mary, its Elisabeth,
its Cromwell; France had its Robes
piera, its Napoleons I and III; Mexico
had- its Santa Anna, and its ever
changing Presidents and Dictators.
These potentates swayed the people at
will. They wore for one dynasty to-day,
and for another to-morrow. They built
up a Government to-day, and tore it
down to-morrow. They shouted huzzas
for one Dictator to-day, and for another
to-morrow. And even in our own
country, although it may be “absurd
and insulting” to say so, we have had
displays of one man power, to which
the people submitted and which the
people sustained. President Lincoln
and President Johnson have both, at
times, set aside the Constitution and ex
ercised the one man power. The peo
ple of the North sustained them, nnd
the people of the South acquiesced.
Military Commanders have exercised
“one man power,” and the people bowed
their necks to the yoke. What obsta
cles, then, would be in the way of a
repetition-of the exercise of this power?
“ Wbat has been done can be done
again is no reason to doubt
that the American people would submit
to a Dictator with as good grace, and
as much enthusiasm, as ever did those
of the countries we have named.
President Johnson, as a Dictator, with
a view to crush out Ttadicalism and to
restore the Union to its former unity,
power and greatness, would have little
difficulty in carrying out his proclama
tion and his programme. It might be
said that he would have no army to sus
tain him. Ah 1 least of difficulties is it
to manage an army. There would be
no lack of bayonets and swords to sus
tain the Dictator, and under his power,
thus concentrated and made effective,
opposing forces would melt like snow
beneath the rays of a noon-day sun.
It will not do to lay the “flattering
unction to one’s soul” that a Dictator
ship in the United States is absurd and
insulting, impracticable and impossible.
It is one of the possibilities of the near
future—one of the necessities of the
country, perhaps, which events are rap
idly hastening on to fruition. A nation
in a desperate struggle with itself needs
a desperate effort to restore it to unity
and to healthy political action.
The war of the Southern Confederacy
required Dictatorial powers on both sides
of the line—one, to sustain anew na
tion :on the other, to crush it. The lat
ter succeeded, but the defeat of the
straggling section, their humiliation and
poverty, were not sacrifices enongh to
suit the conquerors. They refuse to
allow the objects of their war to be
fulfilled, viz.: the restoration of the
Union. They keep the States disunited;
they ignore the Constitution ; they in
sult the President. The usurpation of
power on one side is as legitimate as its
usurpation on the other, and the assump
tion of the Dictatorship might crush out
the enemies of the country, restore the
Union, and re-establish the Constitution.
It is possible. It is feasible. It is rea
sonable. Let the Radicals study his
tory, and profit by the lessons which it
teaches.
The Education or Womew.— ln a
book entitled “The Highest Education
of Women,” by Mix Emily Davie#, jo#t
published in London, occurs the follow
ing suggestive paragraph:
“In the education of girls the selec
tion oi subjects seems to be directed by
no principle whatever. Strong protest,
are raised against assimilating it to that
of boys; but very little is said as to the
particulars in which it ought to differ.
The present distribution is, indeed,
somewhat whimsical. Inasmuch as
young men go into offices where they
have to conduct foreign correspon
dence, and, as they travel about all
over the world, they are taught the dead
languages. As woman's place is the
domestic hearth, and as middle-class
women rarely see a foreigner, they are
taught modern languages with a special
view to facility in speaking. As men
are supposed to work with their heads
all day, and have nothing in the world
to do wheu they are indisposed for
reading, but to smoke or go to sleep,
they are taught neither music nor draw
ing. A# women have always the re
source of needlework, they learu music
and drawing besides. As women are
not expected to take part iu political af
iairs, they are taught history ; as men
do, boys are taught mathematics instead.
In physical science, astronomy and
botany are considered the ladies' de
partment; chemistry aud mechanics
being the branches mest directly anpli
t able to domestic uses, are reserved for
boys."
The Northern Election*.
The result of the Northern elections,
as we anticipated, is most disastrous to
the South. Truly may it now be said
that “reason hath fled to brutish beasts,
and fanaticism and injnsli** rule the‘
land. Demagogues aud false teacher*,,
venal politician* and a corrupt press,
have the ascendancy, while the banner
of the Union aud the Constitution trails
in the dust. The mighty influence* of
the Philadelphia Convention, and its
co-gathering, the Cleveland Soldiers’
Convention, have counted for naught.
Radicalism and deception have tri
umphed over everything that could be
brought to bear against them; and
President Johnson stands to-day re
buked for his policy toward the South,
while Congress is not only endorsed,
but its power for evil greatly increased
by the occasion of new members to the
House of Representatives.
The reports of great Democratic and.
Conservative popular gains in this and
that city, this and that county, and this
aiuLthat State, amount to nothing in
practical effect. What different ;4oes
it make, if a Republican majesty is
reduced from 1,000 to 500, so that it
still continues a maturity? The prac
tical good of a gain must be where it
can avail something—in the Legisla
ture and in Congress. There were places
where we wanted gains for the Conser
vatives ; but the want is not gratified, and
the South is to-day in the hands of
its enemies.
In Pennsylvania the following mem
bers of Congress are reported elected :
First District—S. J. Randall, Dem.
Second District—Charles O'Neil, Rad.
Third District—Leonard Myers, Rad.
Fourth District—W. D. Kelley, Rad.
Fifth District—Caleb N. Taylor, Rad.
Tenth District—H. L. Cake, Rad.
Twelfth District—Charles Dennison,
Democrat.
Twenty First District—John Corode,
Radical.
The delegation stands seventeen Rad
icals, and six Democrats—the Radicals
gaining two members.
Geary's majority over Clytner, for
Governor, is between 10,000 and 15,000.
In Ohio, in the Fifth District, Benj.
Eggleston, Rad., is elected to. Congress,
over George H. Pendleton, Dem.; aud in
the Ninth District, R. B. Buckland, Rad
ical. Thu Radicals have probably
elected seventeen members of Congress,
and the Democrats two.
In Indiana, the Radicals have also
swept the State. The following mem
bers of Congress are elected :
First District—W. E. Niblack, Dem.
Second District—Michael C. Kerr,
Dem.
Third District—M. E. Hunter, Rad.
Fifth District—Geo. W. Julian, Rad.
Sixth District—John Coburn, Rad.
Ninth District—Schuyler Colfax,Rad.
Tenth District—Wm. Williams, Rad.
Eleventh District—Jno. P. C.Shauks,
Rad.
Thus it will be seen that the cause of
Conservatism is, indeed, a “lost cause
aud it only now remains to be seen
whether the President will succumb to
the popular whirlwind which has swept
up like a simoon over the North, or
whether he will sustain his position and
defend the Constitution at any and all
hazards.
More Disasters. —The British hark
Stampede, from New York to Havana,
put into this port in distress. The bark
suffered badly in the late gale, having
lost all her upper spars, sails blown
away, and otherwise badly damaged.
A brig is reported ashore opposite
Warsaw Point, inside of the bar.
The recent gale off our coast has
caused many losses of vessels. In addi
tion to the Evening Star, which we re
ported in our issue of yesterday morning,
we now. notice the loss of the steamship
Daniel Webster, from New York for
Mobile, and the schooner Minnehaha,
which left thi*port on the 26th ult,., for
Richmond, Va. None of the passengers
or crew of either vessels were lost.
The ship Sebastopol, from Sagua La
Grande, was abandoned at sea on the
4th inst. The captain and crew were
rescued by the steamship Mississippi,
which arrived at New York on the Bth
inst.
The steamship Santiago de Cuba,
which left New York on the 29th ult.,
for San Juan, Nicaragua, returned to
her port of departure on the Bth inst.
having experienced a severe gale on the
3d, during which she lost ten passengers
and five of the crew. ,
The steamship Andrew Johnson,from
New York for Charleston, with sixteen
cabin and twenty steerage passengers,
was wrecked off Hatteras, but, we
pleased to state, from information we
have received, the crew and passengers
are safe. — Savannah Advertiser, Oct.
1 n<A. ___
Tjsa.—Mr. M. Jones, of Liberty
county, Ga., has written for the Cultiva
tur a communication on the culture of
tea in the South. The editor of the
Cultivator says: “Our correspondent
has favored us with a sample of the tea
prepared by him. In appearance, fra
grance and Havor, it precisely resembles
a fine article of Chinese Bluck Tea. If
our plantations can produce tea as finely
flavored as this, with as little trouble as
Mr. Jones states is required in the pro
cess, it is the most profitable crop wc
can grow. Iu conversation with him,
another point was elicited, to wit: that
when teajs raised in localities near the
coast, when the plants are once estab
lished, nearly all the labor comes during
the healthy season of the year, and after
gathering, the planter can retire and
spend most of the summer tn a more
healthy locality.
“How odd it is,” said Tat, ns hs
trudged along on foot one hot, sultry
day, ‘ that a man never meets a cart
going the same way he is.”
Work.
Id these dark days, when despond
ency and gloom rest upon the spirit* of
even the moat hopeful, it may not be
>•*, seys the Lynchburg (Va.) N*tot,
to urge dome conaiderations which may
et leaatfceeen this -fceKnjr, by pointing
out the only real remedy of which our
condition admit*. This remedy is to be
found in WORK. No success has over
been achieved in auy calling without it,
and few instance* can be cited iu which
industry, energy, and will, have not even
tually triumphed in the straggle with
adverse fate, Failure or success iu life
is dependent less on extraneous agencies
than on our own means and energies.
A determination to succeed is the first
and most important step toward suc
cess, for a resolute will overcomes all
difficulties. The possession of such a
will has invariably marked the man
who has achieved suocess in any depart
ment of life. It was one of the leading
characteristic* of Napoleon to regard
nothing bs Impossible, audio his indom
itable will, scarcely less than to his won
derful military genius, is to.be attributed
hi* astonishing success. The same may
be said at other military leaders who
have inscribed their names high on the
Uinple of fame. What is true with re
gard to the military holds equally good
when applied to civil life. Everywhere
the experience of the world teaches that
intellect even is secondary in importance
to Will. A vacillating man, no matter
what his intellectual abilities may be, is
r dely pushed aside and outstripped in
the race of life by the man of determi
nation. He who possesses this determi
nation is not dismayed by the first re
buff, but, with every failure, returns with
renewed energy to the conflict. Failure
in one pursuit does not necessarily imply
failure in another. Let our motto be,
“Try Agaiu.” Try again for the hun
jlredth time, if success is not earlier at
tained, but with each successive effort
neglect not to discover whether previous
misfortune has not been caused by some
negligence or oversight on your own
part, and endeavor to avoid it in the fu.
ture. But, above all else, continue to
work. If in debt, do not suffer time to
blunt the edge of obligation, but by
greater economy, by increased industry,
by harder struggle, relieve yourself from
the incubus, and stand unincumbered in
the lists for the next trial. Should mis
fortune overtake you, do not mojie and
pine in aimless, objectless dejection, but
rise with will uncouqucred to renew the
struggle. Do this, and although fortuue
may frown, and misfortunes may, for
awhile, thicken around you, there will
soot dawn for you a brighter day, and
the memory of your reverses will only
live to add zest to the enjoyment of tri
umphant success, rendered doubly sweet
by the consciousness that it was well
won and well deserved. Could we pre
vail on our people, now so down-hearted
and desponding, to put in practice a
little more of this kiud of philosophy,
we would never despair of witnessing in
the end the revival of our prosperity,
and the resuscitation of our fallen for
tunes.
The wisest policy, the truest philoso
phy for our Southern people, now lies in
the literal fulfilment ot the injunction of
the wise man : “Whatsoever thy hand
find to do, do it with thy might.”

the tatal expansion and loose
ners of mercantile credit; hence, the
failure of at least niue tenths of all who
engage in traffic. To fail is as natural
an end' to a mercantile career, in this
country, as to be killed is to the soldier
enlisted for life. “How long will he
last?” aud he who escapes bankruptcy
for so long as ten years, does well—
better than the average. We could
name country villages which have bad
their fifteen or twenty mercantile firms
iu the course of the last thirty years,
and broken them all within two or
three ; and of these, not one has retired
with a competence.
One is trading yet, and solvent; two,
perhaps, have retired or removed, losers,
but not broken; the rest have gone the
way of all American traders—or so
nearly all, that the exceptions help to
prove the rule. Os the young men who
will this year embark in trade, it is safe
to lay that three fourths will want a
National Bankrupt Law within the next
ten years, aud the other within twenty.
But they cannot break so fast that
others will not scramble for their places.
Thousands of new concerns will be
opened this year to be closed as thou
sands were in 1857-8. It were idle to
remonstrate against this tendency—the
thiag to be done is to countervail it.—

American Railway Times says: “The
project of bridging the ‘Father of

strenuous objection, that it has been
abandoned, and the railway coinpauies,
whose roads center there, have con
ceived the idea ot tuuneliug the river.
Consent to construct the work will be
asked of Congress, and as soon as it is
obtained, it is proposed to begin the
work. The cost is estimated at three
thousand dollars, and the time required
for the completion of the work three
years. The tunnel will not be more
than three fourths of a mile long.”
