It was not deemed advisable to have more than one Comity Con vention. and as the District t 'oiivention meets on the 21 at of May, it was neces sary that our Convention bo held prior thereto, aud hence the necessity of hav ing the County Convention eariler than It was intended.

Sam urx Manpe YfLXE Banks.—Our- community baa been pained to learn of the death of this gentleman in Richmond, Va., on Satur day. laat. The following ■ketch of his life has been furnished us by a friend, and the commentin'ionutlered of the deceased will receive a hearty echo from a people who had learned to know and appreciate his worih : T-hn subject of thi« sketch was a native •f Chester District, S. Ca. About vhe time he reached the term of bis majority he was mntriculated as a student at Da vidson College N. Ca After remaining here for two years', he entered the Junior ('lass in-the South Carolina College at Columbia, and graduated with •'ouor in the palmy days -of -t-haV institution, pre vious to the war. lie was therefore thoroughly fitted fot the profession of leaching, which he chose as his subse qnent life-work.

He enlisted among the first volun teers in the war for Southern Bights.— Meat of the time lie was an Adjutant in Hampton's Cavalry, and saw much hard and active service in Virginia. After ihe ’War {having jnarrird ia-ari^ ffvruutig and partly in his favtmte occupa tion ot teaching. The health ol his fam ily failing in that malarial climate, he re moved to 'Asheville ia 18(>0, and look ..tihurgs of the Newton Academy, which position he occupied for ‘a number of years, preparing several young uteu for College. About two .yours since be was seized with the malignant disease which resulU ed in his .death. Ilia temporary rec'*ve-' .ry, - a-ye-»r einee^ -was regarded asr* almost miraculous, but the malignant poison of -dtseaee was never thoroughly eHtnrnstcd from bis system.

But ail | that Medical sl$ill could do did not avail. : urday, tlie 20th inst, attended by his faithful and devoted wife, but far away 'from his beloved children. The character and standing of. Captain Banks in this community are too well known to render needful any eulogy thereon. He was a good citizen, an able instructor of youth, a faithful member and Rider in the 1’rcsbjiterian Church.— Duty was his watchword in everything. Much men can ill he spared.
