A correspondent the Washington Globe writes
from Columbia, s. c., doh inst.) as follows:
From all see and can learn, cannot resist
the belief that dtsun,or is the settled purpose OF
the chief men of the Multiplying party, and !nas
plan is at this momcn, on foot TO form Sosfhrn
league, for the express purpose OF cstao'ishing
con)edcraoy independent OF that government our
fathers established.
Every effort will now be made TO unite the
Southern States in Que common feeling, and
then in united action ! hope am mistaken
but fear time will prove the truth OF my aPpfe-
hc,isons."

SAo-HARBoR, April 16.-Arr ship Cadmus,
Howell, from South Atlantic, with 100 bbls oil
and 5000 lbs. bone. April 9, lat. 81 IS, long.
70, saw fine copper bottomed schooner lying on
her beam ends, and nearly level with the water.
On her stern and as near as could be ascertalned,
we're the letters GERAL, mot certain and ap'
peared to be the last part OF her name; the wea.
Their being bad at the time, could not get very
near to her. Near by, picked up small box,
containing two glass jars of little more than
quart each, and one Of earthern Of about three
plnts, all containing orange preserves, but were
spoiled with salt water. From number of Da-
nish papers found the box.and printed al Chris
tianstead, st. Croix, and one OF them dated as
late as March 4. think the above place must be
the last sailed from. April ls. spoke brig Chi
poIa. days from Philadelphia for St. Thomas.
1rhe above is believed TO be the General Wash.
ingtnn from st Croix. for New York, belonging
to David Rogers 8, Sun, mentioned few days
since as a missing vessel.
IMPORTANT TO MARINERS. We learn from
Captain House, who made his l50th voyage be-
tween this port and Philadelphia during the last
week, that there is safe harbor at Nantucket
Point, which ia not so generally known as 1t
should be. He says all vessels bound over the
Shoals, that take the wind to the Z. and do not
like to proceed, may run for Nantucket Poin' till
it bears Sc half mile; then steer ESE till the
light bears N By w; then the land will bear +
NE, where there is an anchorage ground in ten
fath0ms water, secure from east winds; then the
land will be ST three miles and enc one mile,
aifording land lock of "a out OF the 80 points oil
the compass, better harbor. and more room to
get under weigh, than any other ha' Dor on the
Vineyard Sound. The harbor likewise affords
the advantage OF improving any wind, with which
vessels can be brought over the Shoals Cap
tain II. will be happy to communicate any
further particulars to his sra.tarng brethren. IL
this be secret by which he has gained the title
Of Fortunate Navigator. having never met any
disaster at sea, the information is invaluable, and
we think masters Of vessels will find it so.
