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. Inhumation received

ifia under Lane had resolved 10 defend '
Fort Scott from the Missouri it.'rudeis at
any cost. 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. It is certain that civil war
now prevails in Kansas.
The Senate to day tti Executive session

Letter from Brigham Young.
Young's letter of tlie 16th is in replyto
Col. A exaitder's of liie 12 li of the
same month. By w ?v of answering tne
charges of treason and rebellion made
vgainat hiiti by (Jol. Alexander, be says:
* . Mn regard to mvseii and certain others j

Normal Schools.
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.

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. We lully expect- j
| ed to receive from him an apology, if not

I yet had liinu to look for the receipt.
There are many such men, arid we sop !
pose it never occurs to them that they are
committing serious wrongs, to call it bv no '
harsher t.nmc, upon those w ho have corili- ,
ded in their integrity, and that upon their (
good faith to meet their engagements ,
promptly, rests the hope of a comfortable
maintenance of many families.

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

that it it liiu duty of President Iluehiuian I
to conduct the reinstating expedition in peri

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

Small I'ox is Washikoton Citv.?The
Washington Slates has information, from
sources entitled to In-lief, that the small
pox is raging with fata! virulence in portiona 1
] ot Georgetown, and the First Ward of
| Washington City. 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.
