From. Washiugt0Ms

The following extracts from the letter Of L.
Diable Boileur, the Picayune's Washington
correspondent, are interesting. He makes al
fusion to the Foote and Soqle affair, which oc'
CURED on the 18th
WAsHINeToE, August l3, 1850.
The California bill, by itself, with no mate
rial amendment, has passed to y third reading
in the Senare, and will, no doubt pass to-day.
"A goodsy number of gentlemen were absent
when the vote was taken yesterday, but some
of them have behaved SO handsomely all along,
and have merely gone on, TO avoid responsible
tiles, that it would be q thousand pities to ex-
pose them. Mr.. Soule, before the vote was
taken, made a regular Mountain speech, say
ing, in as many words, that it the Southern
shareholders submitted calmly to the admission
Of California as she is, they deserved them
selves te be slaves. Gen. Foote made at once
issue with him, and administered to him a well
timed rebuke. Mr.. Soule charging on Mr..
Foote an attempt to deliver a philippe against
him, the latter modesty replied that he could
not do it for two reasons; first, because he was
no Demosthepes, and second, he had no Philip
of Macedonia 70 oppose. The sally created
some merriment. Mr.. S. also maintained his
old views, or rather Seth Barton's views, in re-
gard to the pubic domain of California, and
pretended that they had never been answered,
(either by Mr.. Webster or Douglas,) and cited
in evidence the fact that Mr.. Douglas himself
had introduced an amendment to his California
bill, intended to cover the ground occupied by
him (Soule.) Mr.. Douglas contented himself
with correcting Mr.. Soule, by stating that the
amendment referred to by Mr.. Soule had been
offered by him (Douglas) six weeks before Mr..
Soule had made his speech! As to the argu-
ment he was perfectly satisfied to leave it
where the sense of the Senate had put it. Mr..
Soule made no reply.
Now, it is sheer nonsense to threaten dlsso-
luton, secession and disunion, all because Cal
| ifornia is admitted as a free State. The fact
is, she has by the will Of her citizens, excluded
| slavery, and although there were, undoubtedly,
some very great irregularities in the proceed
ings, yet the thing is now done; c'est I'm faita &C:
comph. The question now to be propounded
by practical statesmen is, not how shall it be
undone, for that is physically impossible, but in
what manner can the South manage to avoid
| those consequences which are most apprehend-
| ed from this untoward event? This is best
done by preventing legislation about slavery in
the remaining territories, and keeping New
Mexico and Utah as long as possible in the ter
| ritorial state. Hence the interest which the
South has in settling the question imme.
diately.

u There is truth and sound logic in the fol-
lowing paragraph from the P~icayune's able
Washington correspondent, lie Diabe Boz
U lis something higher in thought than
is often found in the letters of correspondents,
and reminds one Of the style and good sense
that characterized the contributions to the
Tattler:
I'm legislating for men you have to take their
passions and prejudices into consideration, as
we'll as the duties Of the Legislators, and the
moral obligations of those for whom the laws
are framed. Neither states MOI goyernm ents
are constructs PRIOR, they all have an histori-
cal generation . dgrowth, and a ~physiognomy
through life which no abstract dogma and no
zeal Of politicians can change or eface. The
instinct Of the people, as Of women, is more
correct than their reasoning, and forms the best
barrier to dangerous and reckless.nnovations.
You may discuss disunion in the closet and in
public, but whom you come to carry it out in
practice, the disunion doctrine vanishes into
thin air before the national sentiment pervading
men, women and children, and the abstract dog
ma Is annihilated by the living faith Of the pa
triOt.

ANOTHER ExPED1T1oN.-Some one Of the
Washington letter writer's, in a late epistle, has
asserted that the President has been apprized
Of another expedition to Cuba, as being under
way, and that he has taken means to Illustrate
it. We shall see. If Lopez and Paez get to-
gether, they may hatch up something this warm
weather. Seriously, we believe that expedi-
tons will continue to be on foot from this for
ward, till the " gem ofthe Antilles is lost to
Spain.

CALIFORNIA TRUE DELrA.-One ofthe hand
somest-in fact, the handsomest-sheet that
we have seen printed in quarto form, in this Or
any other country, is the California True
Della, issued semi-monthly from the press of
DAVIS & McGMK1s, New Orleans, at the rate
Of ten dollars per annum, and designed for the
particular longitude of California. Its articles
are 80 arranged, that q man from any section Of
the States can see at a glance what locality he
wishes to hear from, for there is information
from almost every hamlet throughout our wide
land. One peculiar feature, is the number OF
marriages and deaths published-there being
nearly three columns in nonhpareil type, in the
present sheet, selected from every State and
locality. To those who have friends and re-
latives in California, we heartily recommend
Them to subscribe to the above journal, as a
medium of information and interest that can
not fail to please those to whom it may be sent.
Twelve thousand copies per month Of this pa

which it is priced BY those far away from home
