The Educational Association of the Confederate Stales of America. The next annual raefetingaf this body will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, ou Wednesday,, .the 9th day'of November next Yielding to the suggestions of some of its members, * 1 recalletlrtbe appointment for its meeting at Atlanta, with the hope tha? a favorable tnrn in tlul affairs of the Confederacy might soon offer a more auspicious season for'its assem- . lllmrr That. hom> has failed. The war is stiM - i>~ #? raging, with little prospect of a speedy 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 committees appointed at the meeting in Columbia will, it is" hoped, attend to the matters entrusted- tp their charge. Thedollowirtg article from the Constitution acts forth the teTins of membership: "Any male citizen of the Confederate States, ftbo may be engaged in the profession of teaching, or who has, in any way, indentified- Rim-; self with the educational interests of thorcountry, may become a monibtr of the Association, in the following raantfer, to wit: He. must bev. nominated at an annual meeting, by a member of this body, elected by a majority of the votes then.present, and sign this Constitution. J. L REYNOLDS, President of the Association. Columbia, S. C., Sept: 27, 1864. The Victorv ix Tone.?The city is radiant with joy over tlie glorious news jrpm .< -j. _.T. :i _ ?i.?

As soon as the news transpired, l-he stars and * stripes were flung to the breeze from every public building, except those which are notorious ' 'in their secession proclivities., At a certajn hotel, in the upper part of.rDroadway, where . Jeff.'s friends most do congregate, there are many elongated countenances. The news was *! pooh-poohed as but fabrications irom the War Department for political effect and for the Cu K nard Steamer for Europe, but under the smooth : surface of stimulated unbelief could be seen : better convictions. There was a good deal of' indifferent jvhiskcy quaffed in the course of the ; afternoon, as if to drown grief.' The gold gam- f biers, too, you will sec, feel Cad. "Things are - down." Hampton's Capture.?The Federal. comi irnssaries buy beeves of the largest size for the use of tbcir armies in Virginia-* The expense and trouble of transportation, which are in proportion to numbers, make this very expedient. The beeves taken in Hampton's late expedition are judged by a London grazier to weigh eight hundred pounds nett. Twenty-four hundred and sixty-six beeves, at eight hundred pounds, would mafce an aggregate of 1,988,800 pounds, or within a.fraction of 2,000,000 of pounds.? This, distributed in daily rations of a pound j * each, would feed a thousand men for nearly . two thousand days, ten thousand men for two : hundred, days, or fifty thousand for forty days, ' and so forth. It is a very nice addition to onr commissariat, for which we are very mucn obliged to Mr. Grant, and particularly to Gen. Hampton and hiB.brayes. . ? j An American 'Cardinal.?Letters 'from j < Rome, Says the Courier des Etats, states that ] Pins the 9th intends to make a Cardinal of the j new Archbishop, McCloskey.

A despatch from Chicago says the movement caused great sensation amotjg the printers, as it was understood that the Times had resolved to break un the Printers'"Association.

In the letter, it is said, Gen. McClellan expresses surprise that iny Democrat should find fault with his letter iCcepting the Chicago nomination. ' \ ' We trust that Gen.
