Cljc Ktiijtt' LAN CASTER VILLE, 8.C_ Wednesday Morning. Sept 24. 1862 We are requested to call attention to a notice in this paper from Mnj. J. W. Nisbet, Kx'r. Heliqiol's Notice.?We are rerpicsted to notice that a camp meeting will be held at Salem Church in this l>istiict, commencing on Friday the ltd of October next. The Ministry are invited to attend wr a communication Irom t'apt. James L.

The ConventionThe State Convention adjourned on Wednesday last, niter passing the ordinance, which we publish on another column, known as Chancel lor Inglis' amendment to the report of the Cominilte of Seven. It will be seen that the Oidinancc provides for the dissolution of U?p Executive Council on the second Monday in December next, unless the Legislature, on whom the Ordinance confers ^lie power, sees fit to continue, or renew its existence. The Convention . itself is to terminate on the 1'ith day of December 18t>2?two years from the date of the beginning ol its existence. The people of the State will be apt to regard this action of the Convention as a means adopted by that body to relieve itscll of an unpleas ?i.i lesponsiniiuy i i.e main opposition to the Convention has t>een hascd upon the charge that it has superseded the constitutional forms of Government in the State, by the establish* incut of a despotism ; ami yet the Convention, by this Ordinance, confers upon another body the power to impose as absolute a despotism as could well be conceived of. The question whether the exigencies of the times require that extraordinary powers be conferred upon | any one or more men, belonged properly to the Convention, and not to the Oeneial Assembly. Whv could the Convention not come out openly and say whether or not, in its judg nicnl, (He continuance of lltu Executive Council wan necessary to the well being of the j State * Wore they nfiuid of public sentiment * if so that body has indeed (alien front the high dignity nnd distinction, at one time asciibcd tu it, as the author of the Ordinance, which gave (tilth to the present snuggle for Independence, it is said that the Convention passed this or' dinaticc with the view of referring the qucstioii ol the continuation of the Executive (Joule cil t?ock to the people?that the people, In the appioaching elections for members to the Legislature, may instruct their IJoprosoiitativcs in respect to their wishes in the permises. lint a' side from the tact that Iwo-thiids ot the votert of the Sbitc will not vote at all in this election, the time is too short, between this and the da) I of election, in which the people may inforu themselves and make lip their minds upon thi matters st issue. In most instances the inein beis w ill necessarily gouown without deRuiti instruction* upon this point, and who can sat | that the I.cgislaluie will not abuse the higf and cxtraoidiuary powers which have beet I given it * This action of the Convention renders it sti! mote important that the people throughout tin State he represented in the General Aseomhb by their best men. The next Lcgislaluie wil be invested with far higher powers, and wii have far greater responsibility resting upon it than any pievious session of that body, since the Mate has had an existence.

The subject of this notice was the youngest j sou ot the late William J. Connors, and the last survivor, hut two, ol a family of seven chddicti who arrived to the years of inaiuiity. lie was a young man ot many noble qualities; puiticularlv those qualities of the heart?springing thiough the ehaiiuels of friendship and ulfeetion ?calculated to endear him to all who shared Ilia Ilin.ul.t or .... :..

The wrilei of tliid notice cuii call lo mind many incidentso!'his boyhood ilia'- would happily illusliulc this admirable qual ity ; and in his liper >eam, inteicourse with the woild did not modify this chaiacteiislie of his nature. In society he was modest and unussiiming, hut exceedingly utfablc and lively: his genial flow of spirits, under all circumstances wliciC their cx1111> lion was not improper, will he leineinhered In inaiiy who will read this tribute to his memory. His ideas of l ight and wrong w ere well delined ; although ol a yielding disposition in oihe* lespocts, yet when honor and duty were involved lie could not be seduced Iioiii tlie course which his convictions of right led hini to adopt. In Jauuaiy 1867 he was alliuiiced to Miss Muiy A. Doyle, ol < liarlesion; site smvived her marriage but about tun months, leaving him a widower and childless. Daily in the piesent struggle for Independence, lie tell it Ins duty to devote himself to his couii try. lie eonneeted him-ell with the company Iioiii this District, known as the "LancuUcr 1 lot nets," raised by Col.

As a compliment lo bis iuteg rity and worth, Capt. Haines appointed him Ch-ik ol his Company, which appointment was endorsed by his successor. Cant. Vanlauding Iiiiiii, ami lie held this position up to tin.* time ol Ins death. His relations with t'tipi. Van Ian. dinghaill, to whom he wasmurli attached, weie itiways 01' the most coidial and happy chaiante r, and lie possessed the confidence und esteem ot all his ollieeis and eolllindes. Ills generous impulses, kindliness ol heait and live, ly disposition, were such as won lor him the friumisbip and >Mcclion ot his coimades. Their united testimony is, that his duties as a Soldier wen- always faithfully di-fliarg d; on no occasion ot the uiuiiy liaidshipi and penis to which his company was subjected, was he -Icnowii to shrink trout duty. The labors ot the much immediately preceding the battle ol Manassas were pai ticulai ly Severe, and told willi visible effect upon Ins constitution, mutually delicate; lie, however, lane up, supported, no doubt, by the spnil and enthusiasm which animated our ailiiy on the eve of one ol the greatest battles of the war. On Fiidav his Regiment was led into action, and dating the progress of the light lie received a millet wound in the head, horn which he died within a lew minutes, lie was immediately borne from the field bv a devoted friend and messmate, and ins remains roeei ved such considerate attention and intci inent, at the hands of his filends, as circumstances would pciiiut. of him, as of many other humble, but gallant pnliiots, whose lives have been yielded up upon the r.ltar ol their country, history will make no mention; hut amid a small circle of relatives and tiiciids his untimely end is tenderly mourned and his virtues cherished with the moot affectionate interest.
