<£l)i gail, Jrtss. City Printer—Official Paper 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.” Ai.i.iteratiox. —The annexed may in. terest some curious readers.

A lunatic friend suggests that the toast of the evening should have been drunk in a cheval gins. Park Railings.—“ Mob Abuse.” The Riot “Act.”—Closing the Park gates. Ora You mo Mem.—Wo doubt whether any other couutry exhibit* a larger amount or proportion of useless talent, of miadirected energy, than ours. Oar clever young men, in fearful abundance, addict themselves to law, to physic, to commerce, mainly beceese theoe seem the only pursuits which promise wealth aud diatiuctiou. Hazardous a* mer-. chandizing is known to be, long and loilsomo a* is the path to eminence and fortune at the bar or iu medicine, these seem to most of our aspiring youth the only unofficial avenues to fame and fortune ; hence, they arc uniformly ruinously crowded, There la* been no day of the last forty years, in which there were not four times its many try ing to live by trade in this country a* were needed In that occupation—twice as many as could possibly succeed. 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.— Rural Southerner.

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.” Something like a Telegraph.— When the Atlantic cable is completed, it is a fact, that a message will be re ceived in America fives hours before it leaves England.
