   Hello, there is plenty of plugins and I can not find any plugin that is able to publish posts from one category in the sidebar.

   I want to make something as second small blog on my website (the posts will be published in the sidebar).

   You could use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/query-posts/ to do that.

   Or put this in your sidebar.php or in a PHP Code Widget

   <?php
       $args=array(
         'cat' => 7,
         'showposts'=>5,
         'caller_get_posts'=>1
       );
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo '5 recent Posts in category 7';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
           <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
         endwhile;
       } //if ($my_query)
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>
