 We copy the following dispatches from the St. Louis Republican, of Monday The Repub- lican declares that the story of the fight of Gen. Lane, with the U. S. Dragons in Kansas, in which the latter were defeated with a loss of three killed, is humabug.
 NEW YORK, January 1.-The Times Wash. | ington correspondence says: The administration | relative to Commodore Paulding, is materially modified. Capt. Enge has received permission to delay his return to Aspinwall until January 2Oth MT. Paulding will probably carry Minis ter Lamar to Central America before his return. and then come home in his own ship, whose cruise will then be ended, thus relieving the Commodore without conveying a mortfying re- buke.
 But, notwithstanding the positive official de- nunciation of the llegalty of Mir. Paulding's act, the President privately expresses his admi- ratipL and approval of it. The Commodore will neither be sacrificed nor theoretically sus- tained. The President indicates his purpose to send a special message to Congress on the subject, on Monday. But as its character is not yet transpired, it is probably not vet set tied.
 The Herald's correspondent confirms this statemnnt. He says the Cabinet had long session oday. The principal subject before them was, 1 understand the conduct of Mir. l'auldlng l am led to believe. from the lights before me, that the administration will under the circumstances, endorse the course pursued by Mir. Paulding; for, under the secret treaty. ,a and secure the neutrality of the Nicaragua transit route, and, upon this view of the sub ject, the Commodore's will be fully ustif- ed, and, if l am not greatly mistaken, instruc- tons will be sent to Mir. Paulding to keep the route open, whether blockaded by fiIlibusters or not.
 The Tribune and Times correspondents say 1 Gen. Denver has written letters saying he fa- vors the course of Walker and Stanton WASHINGTON, January 1.-The Herald's correspondent says 1t is settled that the admin lstration will defend Commodore Pauldny.- Should General Walker attempt to leave he will be re-arrested. The government designs pros ecuting him, and a member of the Cabinet has ventured the opinion that he will be sent to the state prison.
 On Tuesday or Wednesday, Mir. Pugh, of Ohio, will introduce into the Senate bill for the immediate admlSSlOn of Kansas as d State under the Lecompton constitution The bill will provide that the first legislature of the State shall submit to the people whether or not the slavery clause shall be added to the consti- tnton Also. that the first or any subsequent legislature may submit to the people whether they will call convention to amend or alter the whole constitution. This will meet the ap- proval of every democratic Senator.
 Dispatches to the Post:
 The Cabinet has at length taken ground that Walker Is interruptng the transit route. Fire eaters are thereby enraged. Toombs in the Senate and Whitman in the House, vii, offer motions on Monday against the Cabinets policy, and defend Walker
 General Scott arrived last night He is clos eted with the President and Secretary of war. Ihelr deliberations are supposed to refer to the Utah expedition, etc, and the best means of re- lnforcmg Col. Johnstou's army.
 Walker has formally demanded indemnity from the United States government for the out. rages inflicted on the territorial government of Nicaragua in the extradition of her Dictator by Commodore Pauldng
 dispatch to the New York Tribune says: The New York democratic members are all for the Lecomp pton constitution, notwi thstauding the slavery clause. Mir. Stephens, of Georgia chairman of the committee on territories means to report Kansas and Minnesota in one bill. and try to drive it through by the previous ques- tion, without going into the committee of the whole.
