The disputed boundary between Ohio and Michigan appears destined to be the cause of bloodshed. The Legislature of Ohio have passed law extending their jurisdiction over the disputed territory-and the acting government of Michigan, in consequence thereof have ordered the brigadier general to enforce the laws of Michigan to the extent of his power, by calling out the militia fine cessary. Decisive laws on the subject have been passed both by Ohio and Michigan, and may very probably result in an appeal to arms. This is certainly lamentable. Have these men no idea of the value of civil liber- erty and peace, that they are exciting con- test which might result in disaster and des- truction to the Union. While the people ot Michigan are with one hand striving to en- ter the Union, with the other they attempt tc tear down the fabric. Let them abide the decision of Congress or the Supreme Court --and not act like children or madmen. The following IS an extract from the correspon dence of the Baltimore Chronicle. The lat ter portion of it may or may not be true.-- We hope it is net.

Among the matters which must force tieni- selves upon the members of the first State Legislature, will be that of amending our criminal code, and providing some place as a State Prison or Penitentiary, where convicts may be confined. It seems to be generally allowed that whipping is only tolerated as punishment through necessity, and where the condition of the country does not admit of the erection of some proper place of contine- ment. In both the English and American army and navy, 1t is agreed that whipping is very seldom productive of good, and often of much evil. We have since we resided in Arkansas witnessed two public and legal in- Aictions of this punishment-and we need to sec no more to convince us that every such intilction is positive injury to the country. We are convinced that it hardens and rend- CTS reckless the offender. It takes from him what little character he might before have had, and stamps him with an indelibIe brand of disgrace, which forever prevents his re- form, and renders him only more desperate and more abandoned. Tho last man whip ped at this place--Hiram Abel-only nine days after the whipping, that is, on Tuesday morning last, murdered man by the name of Woollerton, about ten miles below this place. This murder was produced by the whipping. Had he been confined in prison, no further injury would have been done by him. There is another considerations State Prison, when every man is employed, soon becomes, instead of an expense, an in- come to the State.

consist of the common law and statutes s England, of general nature, down to ,A. fifth year of James the 6rst-of par, # the laws of Missouri, and the statutes os the Legislature of Arkansas. In thesa laws there is much that IS inconeuous and much that is absurd. We have oo. the Laws of Arkansas gathered up into volume, which has neither head nor fail where no one can find any thing ha wants Our Legislature have tried to mend tbo common law, and have only patched and cobbled 1t into deformity-and not conteO, with this, they must needs expend tha;r sa fefanons wisdom in parcel of enactinyus about chancery practice. Ii would be easv to show that none but lawyers should mn dertake to regulate such matters--and i, would be very easy to show maay instan. ces where the practice of the courts ha, virtually annulIed the regulations of the law For example, the law requiring the proceed. ings in the foreclosure of mortgages to ba at common law-whereas 1t Is the pract;o. to foreelose by bill in chaneery; the law re. quiring every plea in bar to be filed durinp the three first days of the term-whereas Is the practice to allow them to be filed as any time during the term; the law that eiher party may continue his cause at the first term; and many others which will readily occur to the mind of every lawyer. The law of deseents and distributions we spoke of, long since, as voIuminous, inexpcable. and contradictory. The law of dover is uninst-the law of fraudulent eonyeyaseas is nonsense as it stands-and judicial pro. ceedings IS an ons,aium gatherqa. Besides all this, Geyer's Digest, and of course tho Laws of Arkansas, are wretched with re- speet to grammar and punctuation.
 Ne say, therefore, that three lawyers should be appointed by the first siats Le- gislature, to compile revised code of laws like the Revised Statutes of New York, and the Revised Code of Massachusetts to be submitted to the Legislature at their next session, and when adopted to be print. ed for the State.

The news from France is such as to ren- der 1t certain that there will be no war be- tween the United States and that country. We have not yet heard of the Report of the Committee 10 the Chamber of Deputies concerning the claim, but we have no doubt of the appropriation being made. We may well say that 1t Is only owing to the little sense and less diplomacy of our late states men, that we have not received the money before. The President and MT. Riyes boasted too much when they thought the appropriation would be made-and there was certainly no better way to prevent our getting the money than to say, as Mr. Rlves did say, that if we got it, 1t would be more than we had right to expect or to get. Mir. Forsyth and MT. Livingston have shown themselves as poor diploma tists as MT. Riyes--and Mir. Forsyth was wise enough to be in passion with Mr.
 Serrurier. because he, Mir. Forsyth, did not understand that inc word demander in French, means simply to request--and SC thought that Mr. serrurier was peremptory, when in truth he was only polite.
