The Carolina brought down a load of goods for the flat Sarah Ann, sunk up the river, and we learn from Mi Watson, the agent of the owner, that there ia a probabil ity of saving the principal part of them.— He has gone up again this morning with one of the Steam-Boat Companies Boats for the purpose of emoving her if possible to a sand-bar, where she Would be dry allow water.

During the whole of this period, embracing the time from Octo ber 1816 till; June 1822, Mr Pooler and my self were on the mo9t friendly (enn*—I rendered him many favors by loaning and advancing of him money, for which t nev er charged him any interest.
