The Situation.— The grand uiun-fßovro
which tU** Yankee papers, according to their
custom, have been hinting at for the last
three weeks as about to be executed, and to
result in som< thing that would astonish nil
the world and the rest of mankind, lias at
length been tried.* It has not captured Rich
mond, but it has procured “hospitable graves”
for many of Grant’s cut-throats, black and
white,. What will he try next ? Why we sup*
po.se be will manufacture a bulletin, iu which
he will announce the most splendid success,
and which will set the whole semi-barbarian
generation represented by him and bis army
to screaming, dancing, throwing up their hais
and shouting for old Abe. That is all he has
done since he has been in command of the nr-*
my, and it is pretty much ail that he can ex
pect to do hereafter. But that will not take
Richmond, although it may, and no doubt
will, assiit greatly in electing Lincoln.
The *udcii n ahnriJontnent of Fort Harmon
l»y our troops was a sad affair. It proves that
rone but tried veterans ought to lie entrusted
with the defense of outposts, liable at all
times to tie suddenly attached and to be over*
whelmed before the arrival of assistance. The
Yankees will represent the capture of thlj
post as a great victory of course. But time
will show whether it la or uot. —liichmond

Tiib Educational Association or tiik Con

with the request of the President of this As

annual meeting:
The next Annual Meeting of 'his b dy will
be held, in Charlotte, C., on Wednesday,
the 9th day of November next. Vie.ding to
the suggestions of some of its inetnbi rs, I re
called the appointment for its meeting at At
luuta, with the hope that a favorable turn in
the i»* r -?r« of the fV a r a 1 r- -y m : g*.f • ,m cff. r
a more auspicious season fir its assembling.
That hope has 'ailed. The war is still r ging,
with little pro;pect of it* spi edy abatement.
In the meantime, the interests of the rising
| generation should not be overlooked. I
therefore invite the friends of education to
assemble in Charlotte.
The Committo appointed at the meeting in
Columbia will, it ts hoped, attend to the mat
ters entrusted to their charge.
■The following article from the Constitution
sets forth the terms of membership:
“Any male citizeu of the Confederate States,
wiio may b« engaged iu tho profession of
teaching, «r who has, in any way, indentified
himsell with the educational interests of the
