crat says, that passengers report, that on
Friday, the 25th ult., news reached Leaven-
worth that an engagement had taken place
between the troops of Lane at Sugar Mound,
and the dragons. The officers ordered Lane
to surrender, which he refused to do The
dragons then charged, but were repulsed
with loss Of three of their number. The
dragons retired and sent to Gov. Denver for
relntorcements-De ordered four compa-
MES Of dragons to the seat OF war, and it was
expected that there would be bloody work.
AS soon as the news of the engagement was
received, the people commenced organizing
and were hurrying to assist Lane. 1t was
expected that before the dragons arrived.
Lane would be reinforced to the number Of
$500 men. The excitement was intense.
and the people of Lawrence were proposing
to take the field. General Calhoun had fed
from the Territory.
LATER.-A dispatch to the Gazette today.

Lane and the dragons. We have sent to
ST. Louis for information as to its truth Or ia

pondence. MIR. Pugh intends tomorrow to
give notice of bill for the pacifcation of
Kanzas, providing for her admission as State
under the Lecompton Constitution that after
the act passes, the President shall certify the
fact to the two Judges of the Supreme Court
of Kanzas, who shall thereupon issue a pro.
clamation for the election of a legislature
which, when convened, shall submit the
slavery question fairly to the people. The bill
Will also reduce the boundary of the Territory
on the West.
The hlibusters on board the Saratoga. at
Norfolk, positively refuse to go on shore until
they are put off by force. They say thew are
put off by force. They say they are penniless
and helpless, and have nowhere to 90 IF
ashore, and demand to be returned to Mica.
ragua, the home of their adoption. The Pres.
dent says 1t is utterly out of the question TO
return the tilibusters to Nicaragua. The onlv
possibility of relief for them is in pecuniary
indemnity, which will be urged. General
Walker will not go South for several DAYS.
Hon. ii. Marshall has prepared and proposes
to offer IN the House of Representatives. to-
morrow, series OF resolutions in relation to
the seizure of Gen. Walker and his men bv
Commodore Paulding. The resolutions de-
nounce and disavow the act, direct compensa-
ton to be made to the parties arrested, and
that they and their army shall be restored to
where they were found. There is no proba-
bilty that any practical measures, forwarding
the views of the flibustegs, can be carried
through either house. but the friends of
Walker may be able to embarrass his oppo-
nents by legislative devices, SO as eventually
to force the majority to come to measures Of
compromise.
The Union of this morning, in speaking of
Niearaguan affairs, says it is quite clear that
the breaking up Of Walkers expedition was
the very result contemplated by his previous
instructions, however much the mode and
manner of the interruption may have been
IN conflict with Com. Paulding's instructions
or the strict rules of international law. It's
not probable that those instructions contem.
plated the landing of our forces on the soil of
Nicaragua, but it is not probable either that
the government of Nicaragua will complain
OF the aggression; it also says that the policy
OF the President, as enunciated in his mes
sage will undoubtedly be pursued relative to
Nicaragua, but is non- committa in regard to
tile views of the administration on Commo.
