GEN. FOLEY. The publication of this gen

merous evidences of his ignorance and I'M
fitness for the position to which his consdtu-
ents have elevated Linn. lie was elected in
October, 1856, to tine 55th Congress, and his
term commenced in December, 1851. Sup
posing himself TO be a member of Congress
from the date of his election, the Lafayette
Courier says, he left home IN November,
1896, and journcycd towards Washington to
take bis seat in the 34th Congress. On his
way, he visited member Of Congress elect,
from Virginia. In conversation, the Vir-
ginian learnt to his amazement, that the
Hon. Indianian was laboring under the idea
that he was then member of Congress and
was on his way to take his seat in the House.
1t was difficult to persuade him that VIII
Cumback was to occupy his seat another
session, and with great difficulty the Virgin
ian managed to drill into the head of the
honorable gentleman from Indiana, the fact,
that he was about to anticipate by one year
the assumption of his Congressional duties
Ard the Hon. James B. Foley returned to
the soil whence he came, there TO repose in
private life for one year, a sadder and wiser
man. Is not his recent epistolary effort
worthy Of him." 81

upon the settlement of the Kansas question
in Congress:
Although the present disposal of the Kan

sectional Southern vote, every Southern

whether this scheme for her admission, even
though successful, will not throw a cloud
over the boosted honor and high character OF
the South. News of this last compromise
seems to fall coldly upon the Southern
people. No one, not solitary soul, gives q

The American Tract Society

Has been profoundly ngitatcd for some
year with, the au-absorbing subject Of sla-
very. Al animated discussion Of the subject
arose at the anniversary meeting in New
York, last week, and which ended, as the
New York Tribune says, ain the triumph of
the Shareholders" At the annual meeting
in 1857, the Society adopted the following
resolution:
That 0the political evils Of slavery lie en-
60 tlrely without the proper sphere of this
- Society. AMI cannot he discussed in its pub
a. lcations--batt he moral duties ,ckieh gr0r

fss proriacs Qf the Society, and can, and
=. svgb "a Be discussed an a Jraternal and
q" CsEaiaa spirit"
Tho publishing committee disregarded
these instructions oftho Society, and refused
10 publish or circulate any tracts which con-
taincd anything offensive to the South. The
committee contendcd that it was the first
duty of the Society and the first condition OF
its usefulness that it should have nothing
Whatever to do with slavery in any shape;
tlat it should publish no tracts which were
either wholly or in part deemed objection
able by the slavery men of the South, and
that whatever was said in the tracts respect
ing the relative duties Of masters and ser
wants, should be so said as to leave the reader
in the dark as to whether it applied to vol
untary or involuntary servitude.
After very long, excited, and angry de-
bate, which the New York Herald says ''was
at times as noisy and otherwise indeeerous
as the fag end of the Congressional fight on
the Kansas bill, the course of the commit
tee was sustained, and the Society resolved,
hereafter, to exclude the subject of SLAYER
entirely from their publications. 1t is
thought this decision of the question will
produce schism in the Society, and lead tc
the formation Of an anti-slavery tract Soci-

THE EFFECTS OF TIE CREvAsSEs The
New Orleans papers say, that all the
plantations on the right bank Of the Mis-.
sissippi, below the city, are food cd, and
that the greatest suffering exists among
the smaller planters in the vicinity of
Jesuits Bend and English Turn. Many
besides having their growing crops entire
ly destroyed, have lost all their cattle
and provisions. Between Lockport and
the Gulf on Bayou Lsfourche the same
state Of things exists.
The Memphis papers say that the
steamers from below are coming to that
point crowded with passengers, many o
them driven from their homes by the
overflow. They represent the inhabi
tants of portions of the country in the
Mississippi bottoms to be in deplorablt
condition. ttt
