ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA AT HNIFAx,-The
Arabia arrived at Halifax yesterday, with three
days later news from Europe; but owing TO the
difficulty existing with the Nova Scotia Tele
graph Company the intelligence she brings
has not yet reached us With regard to this
difficulty, The Associated Press has thought pro-
per to lay before the public in our columns this
morning statement of the whole affair
The ioea has been attempted to De impressed
on the public that the New York press has m ade
money by furnishing the foreign news TO the out.
ide papers. This is a false idea. as the facts
would clearly snow IL the public cared to 20
into details The cost of procuring tbe foreign
news has been an enormous tax on the New York
press, and if the sum paid for the same news by
the Philadelphia press was known it would
create some advertisement II the outside papers
would only wy to procure the telegraph news
fer three months 90 their own responsibility thew
would be satisfied that it was not q very profitable
business. The New York press certainly would
have no objection TO zee them try the expert
roert.
The statement Of the Associated Press will be
iouno worth reading by any who are interested
IL the matter.

MILITIA DIFFICULTIEs.-0 uniformed militia
in this city may be ranked amongst the most
perfect and best disciplined troops in tie world.
Whether On the parade OF in the field, we will
venture to Say that some Of its reginents-the
Seventh aud Seventy-arst, for example-win
stand comparison with any OF the crack line
troops OF other nations. This fact is the more
remarkable when we take into account thai
these regiments are composed of merchants
merchants clerks and s,orekeepers, who devote
their time, money aud attention to military ex-
ercises merely as rastime. In this city the
uniformed militia constitute body of from
seven TO ten thousand soldiers forming a portion
OF the standard or enrolled militia of the country
numbering altogetbes about 1900 900 mea, who
first rate maIksnea.
But, as in all organizations of this kind, the
spirit of emulation is apt to breed jealousies
The harmony OF our militia force has been dis
turbed by the proved inexpediency OF regula.
tions which have always had a tendency to pro
duce similar results in regular armies. We have
seen how, Ia the English and other services, com
plants are constantly being made that the posts
of honor are monopoGzed by old officers,
and thai young men Of energy and capacity are
allowed no opportunity Of distinguishing them
selves. In this city difficulties Of THE kind have
latteEly manifested themselves amongst our mill
tia, from the desire existing amongst command
ing officers TO hold on to their commissions, and
thus TO bar TO their Juniors the chance OF promo
,ion. 1t has been suggested that lazy should
be passed preventing generals and feh officers
from holding their commissions for more than
ten years. We thiuk the idea au excellent one,
and we recommend to the Legislature at It's next
session " pass some enactment by which this
fruitful source Of dissension and jealousy may be
| removed from our militia service

THE SLAVERY SPLIT IN THE AMERICAN TRACT
SOCETY-Tbe American Tract Society of New
York has just issued circular Gu the secessi Oh
which bas taken place from it Of the sister soc,e-
ty at Boston, Nothing can be more temperate
logical or Cbrstlanlike in tone than this docu-
ment. The circular explains fully the ground
which the parent society took IN the recent un-
happy divisions on the slavery question. and
shows that 1t would have abandoned tue .tunda
mental principle OF Christian uniou 90 which
1t was founded had 1t complied with the desire
to make it's publications the medium of sectional
views. The managers state their determination
not to issue any publications which evangelical
pastors and churches, city missionaries and
tract distributors, Sabbath schools aud Bible
classes, in all parts Of the country, cannot unite
IN using and circulating; and for the convenience
| of those persons IN New England who may wish
to cooperate In this plan of Christian effort, they
announce that they have established at Boston q
| New England branch of the New York society
embracing an advisory committee and cores
| ponding secretary. Thus tAe abolitiooiss se

When 1t is found how much the nischievovs prin

their association, there ia no doubt that number,
OF the good, but anaticsily inclioed persons, who
have been led away by the arguments Of thu
arch agitators in this unfortunate schism, will
gladly return to their allegiance TO the origina
constitution Of the society.

COLUMBUS CORRESPONDENCE
CoLuupus, Feb. 10. 1859.

OOLUAbOss ESD- ~; AOoS-
MORNING LEADER-It is worth journey to
the Capital City now to look in upon the Su-
preme Court. Every Republican cannot but
feel pleased to see upon the Supreme Bench an
entire unsullied talented, reliable set of Judges.
The Supreme Judicial department is entirely
Republican. Chief Justice BARLEY, on the 9Th,
gave his valedictory, and in taking leave of the
position SO long held by him, paid very hand
some compliment to the integrity and talents
of the gentleman selected as his SUCCESSOR
Judge Peck took his place yesterday upon the
bench. The last remnant of Democracy has
thus by the sovereign people been expunged
from the Supreme bench. Well done Ohio -
May the day be hastened when every depart
ment may be as thoroughly Republican.
Both branches of the Legislature are now at
work in good earnest. The bill allowing John
". Allen, to prosecute the State, and test the va
Iidity of his contract made in 1850, with Gov
ernor Ford, after being long delayed and elicit
ing much discussion, passed the House last eve
ming. Ayes 60, Nays a. What the fate of
the Bill may be in the Senate, it is yet impossi-
bic to determine. 1t will meet strong opposi-
ton, am sorry to say, from some OF the Re-
publican Senators.
The subject this morning under discussion in
the House, is the Temperance Question, and
members are making long, and l may add, in
my opinion, useless speeches on the subject, at
least so far as influencing members is concern
ed Undoubtedly the Democratic majority will
vote to submit the question of liconse or no Ii
cense again to the people. When is the i'm
portant matter to be settled
Yours, truly, W

LeRisIatiHe SUMMARY.

The Senate yesterday passed the bill so
amending the general incorporation act, as to
permit associations formed for the improvement
of domestic animals, to become bodies corpor-
ate also, to authorize the residents IF fractional
districts to decide by vote upon the question of
becoming separate sub districts also, bill to
provide for the distribution of public arms and
bill amending the 406th section of the Civil
Code.
A bill was introduced to amend the incorpo-
rative law and bill to amend the act of April
10, 1858, amendatory of sections 3l3 and 3l4
of the Civil Code. The Senate indefinitely
postponed the bill authorizing militia compa-
MES TO uniform as they may deem proper and
the bill "to suspend the first and second sec
tions of an act therein named, SO far as the
shares of stock held by the State in any turn
pike company of this State are concerned, for
one year"
TIE House was engaged in the discussion of
the resolution reported by the Committee on
Temperance, to submit TO the voters of the
State an amendment to the Constitution, strik-
ing out the 18th section of the Schedule there
OF, so as to permit the Legislature to authorize
the licensing OF traffic in intoxicating liquors
The vote upon the resolution was not reached
A communication was received containing
resolutions adopted by the General Assembly Of
the State of New York in favor of lake and riv-
er improvements by the Federal Government
Resolutions were adopted by both Houses ad-
vising the Auditor of State to allow County
Treasurers mileage at both their annual settle
ments; and full per centum under the statute
for all moneys collected upon the duplicate for
which they now settle; and to distribute to the
several counties, on or before March 25th, 1859,
all tina school funds not previously distributed.

Another war breeze hiss sprung up between
this country and Great Britain. The capture
and burning of an alleged SLAYER, sailing under
the American flag, is the exciting cause. As all
this was done on the African coast, in apparent
conformity with the construction put by our
Secretary of State upon the treaty on this sub
ject, and probably with substantial justice on the
side of the British cruiser, we can afford to
"wait for the facts, as given by both parties
to the transaction. We can then better judge
whether this is really an ''outrage," as the
friends of the slave traders maintain, OF only
sham pretext for enlisting public sympathy on
the side of slave piracy
The account before given was from one ofthe
crew fthe doomed vessel Even his statement
renders it morally certain that the Rufus Soule
was SLAYER. In boarding her, the commander
of the Viper was exercising the police power
distinctly recognized as his by Mr.. Cass, yet to
be used at his peril; that is, subject to all the
consequences of a mistaken arrest and capture.
In that case the injured party would have a
remedy. But if the vefsel is really found to be
SLAYER, the cruising officer would be only do
ing his duty, in seizing and cOnfscating her
