The report of an engagement between ] Latin's troops and the United States l>ia 1 goous at Sugar Mound, in which the dm ' goons were repulsed, is'credited !;c;e in 1 spile of the con trailictton telegraphed ! from Cincinnati.

The Fort was only four iml-s from the M ssurt line. 'lhe latest advices sav that Lane had 1,300 men and plenty of amutiiiiou. 1 litre i? great excitement here on the subject. [The following is the report referred to above, as published in the St. Louis Dent- [ ocrnt.] | by passengers from Kansas, who ar- j rived rn town last evening, we have oh- i tamed the following intelligence: On Friday, the 25th nit., news reached Leavenworth that an engagement had taken plaee between the troops under General Lat.e at Sugar Mound, and a company ot Uai'ed States dragoons ? The officers ordered General Lane to stir render himself and men to the L iied States authorities, which he refused to do, when the dragoons charged upon his troops, and were repulsed, with a loss ot three of their number. Finding themselves too weak to dis . 1 -- T . louge n?ane, me dragoons retired. and hii express was dispatched to (rov. Denvei for reinforcements. The Governor iinme diately ordered three companies of <lra goons to the seat of war, ami ihe\ passed through Shawnee on Salttrd iv, the 20.h. It was expected there would he blo?>dv workM As soon as news of the engagement was received hy the people, they coin menced organizing in military companies ami were hurrying forward to assist Lane. It was expected before the dragoons would arrive that Lane would be reinforced by some 2,500 men The most intense excitement prevailed. One of the gentlemen who passed through Lawrence on Friday saw Geiier al Lane and Gov. Itoh naon in that town. They were mounted and completely arm ed, and appeared much excited. The\ were addressing the people, who summit ded thein in large numbers, and urging then, to maintain their r'glits and auvcor uieir menus. 1 ne people of Lawrence were preparing to take the field. Joint Calhoun bad fled front the Territory, and reported himslf us going to Bpriugfleid, Illinois. On the d?y of the election, no polls were opened in Bourbon Count)?as the Free State men refused to vote. We shall await with anxiety for the particulars.

Wc publish this week several of the late Acts of the Legislature ; among them an ' j Act for the establishment of n .Normal I i SeliOol in this Slate, under the direetion of Hie Commissioners of Free Schools in the i Parishes of St1 Philip and St. Michael ? This may be looked uponasan experiment, | and if it succeeds, it is doubtless the lieI sign of the Legislature to establish other schools ot the same character in other qunr i ter? of the Slate. The design is a good i one, and we hope it may succeed, and to the j equal advantage of all portions of the State ' It is difficult to concoct a system that is to I work with equal benefits to the poorer and to the wealthier sections, and this is suscep- I tible of some objections upon that score.? I The idea, however, of educating the w omen of our Slate to supply the iiemand for teach | ers in our Southern institutions of learning.; or to prepare them for the not less impor- j lant duties of wives and mothers, reflect* j credit, upon those with whom it originated, and we do not object to seeing the system ! thoroughly tried.

The sssli be inherits amounts 1 to the g.gantic sum of |8,U00.U00. while his income wjll be ?1,250,000 per annum , Thai is something like a fortune.

Pay Your Debts. This is a Reason of the year when every limn should be looking up bin indebtedness* and cancelling accounts made during the previous year. Kvory one who has not I lived greatly beyond Ins moan*, can do this ; b\ making the proper exertions. In the' present light times it may be more ditlicnlt tli.in usual, but let greater exertions be : ni.ide in view of the greater difficulty, and ' we venture tl*ere are but few whose custom ! it is to square up every year, who cannot i make some satisfactory arrangement willi j tho.-e to whom tliey are indebted. Custom, ii^our section, litis decreed that running nctounBKuc due on the first of Januarv, and every man is undei obligations to look up those that lie may have made, (not wait until they are presented> and settle I them tihout that time. Self inteiesl should also admonish linn to this course;?it gives him a reputation and standing aim ng men in business, that may seive him in ;i number , of wa_\s, to say nothing ot the ease of mind j which results from a uniform course of this | kind. Many persons believe it almost all impossibility to settle op every year, but tliey have 1 nevor been in tlie habit of doing so. and J what appears so difli illt with them, is easy enough with others, of the same means, but who pay greater attention to this vet) important matter. Thev who carelessly or i purposely neglect their accounts Irom year t<?)cur. do injury to themselves, to their creditors and to the community. There urn exceptions to all general rules, and instances occur \\ here persons, \\ ho have not lived a hove their means, but from circumstance* beyond their control, find, after a succession of efl'orts have been made, that they cannot meet their liabilities. In this case your creditors are entitled to your con faience, and it is your cuty to make the tiest arrangement for them and for you that I can, under the circumstances, be made.? Don't shun them as many do, who cannot pay. When you meet a man to whom you nr.- indebted, and you are conscious that I you have made every exertion to pay him. ! and you feel morally justified in having con- | traded the debt, shake liim by the hand a* cordially, and look hint in the eye as conti (lenity, as it you d:d not one liim a cent.? Ho will like y o ii ttie better for it. Account*, and especially small ones, w hen lliey are allowed to remain unsettled lor a length of time, after tliey are due, are fro qU'-ntly forgotten by the debtor of short memory, and w lien at length it is presented to him for payment, lie is possessed of* vague idea that lie has paid it before. lie eannot realize the I'ael that lie has suffered stich a small matter to remain unpaid so long ; ho. is confident that be lias a leeeij t somew here, and?he will look for it. A ease in point occurred in our business not long since. In the Fall of '66, we ad vcrtised for a public functionary in a neighbouring District. Karly in the year '57. as we were passing through , we present etl tlie accoulit in person. It being a small matter, lie nas willing to pay it, but intimated tli.it we would oblige hitu to lei it rein dn for a Week or two, until tbe patties bad settled, &.e., when he would enclose i the amount and send it to us. Tins we | agreed to and left him. fomu Weeks since i he \vits called upon by an agent of ours with I the s.ltie aeeotint, and to whom lie slated I ! that he Itad paid it long since. Agent asks ' lor a receipt and is told that lie has not time, just then, to iook tor it; is confident, however, that he bus nuu. Tbi? message is delivered to us, and feel| ing some concern lot our money (only $(i jo ! however .J and mill more lor our business reputation, never, to our know ledge, having I presented all account I'or puwucul thai bad i onee beeit paid, w e sent bun a note, suggest- i ' ing that lie was labouring under a mistake, | j ami asked him to reply.

The Missouri democrat has news from Ohio I Indiana, and Ken.ocky, thai corn is rotting | to a disastrous extent, Ootli that which is on the slalksand in the cribs The Evans{ ville (Indiana) Journal sayn that the injury to thu corn by early fiosts of November, and the subsequent rains, lias been very serious throughout all the middle and nor | thern CfUOliea ot the Stale. On thu upper Wabash the dmiagc extends to a large part of the crop. The injured crop serves to feed stock, and to inorcaae the quantity of beef and pork that will be thrown upon the market. The price of com will be affected by thu disaster, and the value of wheat and flour will be raised in the regions where the corn Ins been rendered unfit for food. Sympathy for Walker. The excitement in favor of Gen. Walker seems to be considerable in several of the Southern cities, ami the arrest which is so inueli complained of, will doubtless conduce to his ultimate advantage. He was looked upon an a reckless adventurer, and was possessed to a very limited extent of the confidence nod sympathy of the mass of the pcoptu ; but, since the rflair of his arrest, he has jumped to a position in the estimation of the purple of the United States, which he nevc'hcld before. Whether reason or impulsiveness, has had the | greater share in bringing this about, does not matter. The 'man of destiny* sees his prospects growing brighter and brighter, as public meetings continue to be held, raising nun and means to assist in currying out his purposes. For all this he has to thank l'auldlng.? Paulding lias, unintentionally, though it be, done him a valuable serviee, and the General could not acknowledge his gratitude in a more becoming manner than to step be- ! iwccii liim lPaulding) and the stoini of in dignation that is hanging over hi* head? This M ould lie an act of genuine magna* niiiiiiv ; or perhaps of eccentricity. The I latter feature, we believe, is. more in consonance with the character of great men. The Commodore's sin, seems to lay in the fact that he waited too long. The time that he would have been justified, by his instructions, in arresting Walker, h.id passed. I lis instructions were of a general character?to prevent armed expeditions from leaving the United Mates tor the purpose of interfering in the nfl'iirs of other nations, and to enforce, if necessary, a due observance of the Nentrali'y laws, to w liieh 1 the good faith of the United States is pledged. Had Paulding afested him upon the j eve of his dcpaiture from our shorts, orin his passage to Nicaragua, he would have done no more than his duty ; but Walker had nlreadv landed on a loreien soil?had I planted his (lag, and it u:ut not for the | United Slates to say whether he was an i in - I poster, or entitled to the prerogative whieh lie claiuivi. and \vl?i. h it seems tl.e Nicar.w guans repudiate. Thin, however, is a mat ter w it It tliein. Tu justify Paulding, Walkers proeeedings must be held as piratieal,and whether they are so, depends upon the legality of his claims to tlie soil which he seeks to govern. Our Government dues not consider hiaeouise piracy and lie is forthw ith discharged from custody. The Commodore j will probably be rebuked for not being able ' to discern between filibustering and piracy, and thus the affair wiil end so far as be is concerned. Walker, however, is not so cadly dispos* 1 cd of. Ilia friends contend th^t he should 1 be sent back, in Government vessels, to the , point from which lie w:.j forcibly brought, j and that lie and his men should !> iiulcin- ' nilicd for time lo-t and indignity sustained i'i.s? i... ; ? i - * i - * - : ..I.-, uini HI- JIIHI, nu L IIIIIUrilinilH'l V II IH rntlior degrading, nod would ln> paying too ' dear tor tlio mistake of a GoWM'iniclil olli- | ci.-il. We Imve not yet hood it suggested J that it it liiu duty of President Iluehiuian I to conduct the reinstating expedition in peri son. In the event tliat Anderson it not reinj forced, or it iiic.ipnble of extricating himself from the position of peril incurred I through Paulding's arrest of Walker, we j believe it the duty of the Government to | relca.te him. Humanity demand* thin. W e see it stated that Walker has written | an able letter to the President, demonstrating (lie legality of his expedition and the j illegality of the nets ot Darin and Paulding, and demanding reparation frotn the j Government. lie repudiates the name of j | pirate, and declares emphatically that he j aid riot relax his efforts, and that while Ins ' faith ill right eontidenee endure, he wilt I endeavor to regain what linn been wrong- ; fully wrested from him. Walker ret now ledges no allegiance to onr government ; I.is relation, therefore, to us, is that of a foreigner?an exile ; ami j yet lie is quietly permitted to lrmerse our eountrv with the avowed purpose of raising men and munitions of war to sustain hi in in instituting some real or imaginary claims against a foreign power. This appears to lie all unhealthy state of affairs; if Kossuth had presumed as much, his eon- I duet would have heen considered oulri* geous.

The Commissioner of I the ltoard of II eallli, however, says that | | the disease is at present confined to three j cotes, and that there is unnecessary alarm j in relation to its spread. Gen. Wulker, it is said, estimates the losses sustained bf hiiu from the se|, sure of Ins property by Capt. Davis and : Com. Fsuldmg, at $ 140,000. It is said that the filnbuslers brought home in lite Saratoga, and now lying in Norfolk harbor, refuse to leave the teasel, unless for* \ cod to do so. They say they are peunileaa | and homeless, and demand to be carried | back to Nicaragua. Washington Items. We gather from our exchange* some important item* in reference to the proceed- I bigs of Congress. A comparatively new quest'un is being , discussed?the repeal of the neutrality ! laws?and this i* likely to gain supporter* from the late arrest of Gen. Walker, and the sympathy excited in hi* favor, under the | belief that he has been unjustly dealt with by Com. Paulding. The friend* of tlii* measuie could not urge it at a more favora- | ble period, and of tlii* they are doubtless | aware. Speeches in favor of it, we notice, | linxe been Uiade by Messrs Quitman, Iveitt of our State, Stephens of Georgia, and i Houston of Alabama. The bill for the re- | peal was introduced by Mr. Quitman ? There is not much probability however, that it can pass. Mr. Iloycc of our Statu has made a move , III the diri'i-lion of free lr-ute A .-..i-... pendent of the South Carolinian state* ! 11 ml his resolution proposed a special coin- 1 mil tec to consider what reductions could be ! made in the expenditure* (if the (eivrin meiit. what modifications in the navigation law*, and the expediency of repealing all duties on import., ami looking ex< iitsivcly j to internal taxation, 'l'hese are the points in which the shoe pinches the South. The crv of tho Abolitionists has led the South c?fT from lite real practical i|iicslioii* (.f the day. Congress has nothing to do with slavery, except to let it alone, and the South , ought to take the ground that the argument is exhausted on the subject, and stand to j their arms, if necessary. Senator I'ugb* (I h tn ) of < )hio, has introduced a Kansas Compromise Hill, propovng tj admit the T? rritory into the Union as a J State with the I.ceomptoti Constitution,! subintlti ng the slavery elause to the people, I and authorizing the right to amend the ' Constitution in a Convention to be held on | the 7th of April next. A resolution ban passed, both the Senate and llie I louse, railing for the eorrenpon- I deuce and instructions of the Kvecutivc, | relative to the seizure of lien. Walker.? That Commodore l'aiildin" o.xeietled those I instructions, is generally coiiceili d and it is ' II t unlikely that he a ill lie censured thcielor ; though this i? doubtful.
