CHERAW. Nov.

A most Melancholy .9fray.--We are called
upon TO record an occurrence by which one of
our oldest inhabitants has been deprived oflife,
and in brief space of time transferred FROM
the scenes of time to enter npon those Of eter-
nifty. On Thursday evening, 18th instant, the
appalling intelligence was communicated to
us that Capt. Charles Vanderpord had Lren
mur erred! Upon repairing to the place where
Capt. V. had been in the habit of transactino
business as a merchant, we saw him laid on a
table ghastly and bloody corpse. From all
the particulars We could learn, it appears that
Angus Taylor. young man whom we judged
to be about 25 years of age, had been in and
before the store of the deceased, making use Of
oa,hs and abusive epithets-,hat Capt. v.
had ordered Taylor away from his store push
ed him away, and was observed to strike him
with stick upon which the two closed, and
passed number of blows, Taylor using dirk
knife which he had in his hand and with which
he inflicted nine wounds in the left side of CAPT.
Y. thus causing his death in abont hall an hour.
As soon as The parties separated, Taylor fled
but was pursued and overtaken. and imme1i
ately placed in Ga,cYs.

WAR OR NO WAR,


1t seems that our country is eternally to be
agltated with wars and rumors Of wars. For
some months during the past summer, our pa
pers were filled with speculations on war
with Mexico. War on our Southern frontier
was in every mans mouth. This alarm has
now died away, bnt in its stead another war
panic has been conjured up by the discussion
of the Oregon question. If we were to be-
;ieve some Of our contemporaries, particularly
the wing papers, war with Eng land is inevi-
table. ltmay be that we are more short sight
ed than our nrighbors, or it may be that Cur
temperament is more phlegmatic than that of
some folks, but really we cannot see any good
reason for these war alarms. It's true that
Mr.. Polk said in his inaugural that orr title
to the Oregon Territory is clear and indispu-
table. True it is, also, that Sir Robert Peel,
the first Minister of England, said in the Brit
lsh House OF Commons, that the title Of En-
gland to the same Oregon Territory was clear
and indisputable, and that Engl.nd was not
only disposed, but prepared to defend that IT,
tie. True it is, that all this has been said and
done, hut still we are inclined to think that
war will not grow ont Of the matter. The IT,
tie of the United States to the Oregon country
is capable Of demonstration, and England,
who has so much 10 lose by the event of war,
is not, certainly. going to rush into contest
with the United States about territory to
which, in truth, she has no right. She has
too much to lose by the operation. She had
better, under present circumstances, go to war
with the whole Of Europe, than with this
country. Her manufacturers, the very life
blood of her commercial greatness, must suffer
an irIeparable blow, in such an event. For
where could she get her cotton from! TINE,
she might get it Indirectly. But the other
commercial States Of Europe would take adj
vantage of such state cf things, and would,
were the war TO continue for three or four
years, strip her of the commercial supremacy
which she now Yields. She will not 90 to
war with this country, if she can possibly a.
void it. She well knows tina: contest with
the United States would, at least, endanger
her North American possessions. This, she
knows, and We think she will scarcely. undel
any circumstance, hazard contest-at least
at present.

TIE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.

The great Memphis Convention, of which
so much has been said and written throughout
the South and South. west for some months
past. convened at Memphis, on Wednesday,
the 18th inst. and continued its session I'M
ill Saturday evening, the 18th. The great
objects for which this Convention was called,
was to take into consideration the internal i'm
proyements of the South and West. The
improvement Of the navigation Of the Missis-
sippi river and its tributaries. To recommend
10 the General Government various projects
for ,he better defence Of our coast on the Gulf
of Mexico-the establishment Of arseEaIs and
military depo,s at: different points on the Mis-
sissppi, and to organize measures for the
more thorough and intimate connection of the
valley Of the Mississippi and the Atlantic sea-
board. Tue Convention was organized by
calling John G.. Calhoun to preside over its
deliberations. Mr.. Calhoun, on taking the
Chair, explained in speech Of great eloquence
and force, the objects for which the Conven-
ton had met. He dsavowed all intention of
asking the General Government to aid or as.
sist in any Of the works which the Convention
might recommend, save such as were of
purely national character that is, works Of
national defence. Fourteen Vice Presidents
were appointed, amongst them, DR.. Robert
Sneed, of this State. There were in all be.
tween five and six hundred delegates present,
and fifteen States and Territories were repIe-
sented. North Carolina had only one dele
gate, DR.. Sneed, who, as we have stated, was
made one of the Vice Presidents. The pro-
ject Of connecting the Mississippi River with
Charleston, by railroad communication, was
ably discussed, and warmly recommended. A
number of committees, on various subjects,
were appointed on the first day. Their re-
ports were able and elaborate. They were
ordered to be printed by the Convention. On
the last day, Saturday, a series Of resolutions
were introd uced ,embodying the leading works,
measures and schemes, which the Convention
rec ommend TO the people Of the South and
West. We shall endeavor to lay these reso-
lutIons before our readers in our next weeks
issue. On Saturday evening the Convention
adjourned sine die. What infl;,ence this move
ment may have over the future destnies OF
the west and southwest, time only can shew.
One good consequence will flow from it. The
interchange of views and sentiments which
has taken place between the distinguished
representatives of SO many States and Terrific
ries, will lead to more thorough knowledge
of the wants cf the communities represented.
Mr.. Calhoun's progress from his homo in South
Carolina, was more like triumphal march,
than the jonrneying of private citizen. A.
every point he was greeted with the most en-
thusiastic demonstrations of reverence and re-
spect; and this, too, without distinction of
party.

cannot be from any apprehension Of quarrel

is, we oPine, without mincing hatters.' that,
in spite Of the recent bathing machine alliance,
thingsare not quite comfortable between US
and our French neighbors. just now. The
causes Of difference, if not dispute, between
rs are, indeed, many. Not satisfied with
kicking Us out of Spain, ard turning US out of
Greece, they are now busy with their intrigues
in China, that they may carry OF all the adj
vantages for which we fought aud conquered
in the late war with that country. Their ca
gerness to repeat the fable of the wolf and the
lamb towards our ally Of Morocco NAV, also,
in the end, lead to an unpleasant issue with
us. But the grand bone of contention jus,
now. is the marriage Of one Of Louis Phil
ippe's sons with the sister of the Queen of
Spain, which is sure to elevate him to the
throne of that country, and bring about new
and formidable compact between France and
Spain. We say that such marriage would
surely elevate the French prince to the throne
of Spain. We have not doubt of it. Louis
Philippe has no such thought; hnt the wretch
