The receipts, into the Treasury I from

are 52,1 94,555, being considerably more
than the last-year or the 'preceding. The
sales would have been greater, says the re

I Annexation of Texas . ..
" The Globe of the loth inst. contains the
followirfg leiter:
Hermitage? January I, 1845- i
? My dear Mr. Blair: I cannot forbear, on
. ft ; v , ma, ,
tnis nrst ua 01 the year 1 10. to let you
know that I am siill in the land of the liv
ing, although greatly .afflicted and debilita
ted. My Whole family join me in ! kind
calutatioiis to you andyours wishing you
the joys of the season. My ypu all live
to see many happy new years.
I observe that you have before Congress
too many joint resolutions for the reannex:
ation of Texas. This argues want of una
nimity itt the democracy upon this great
national and most5 important subject. I
"have just rf ceiVed frmMajor Donelson, a
letter dated at Washington, in Texas, from
which 1 would infer, that if Congiess ex
pect to annex Texas to the Gnited States,
they must act speedily, or It will be fount!
to be beyond our grasp. The rejec ion of
the advances of I eXas has given onVnce to
some, and handle to others to pres? the lib.
eral propositions of England upon the I ex-t
ians, togtiher with the splendid view of
T exas lndebendeut, growing into a vast re
public, iti iilme to embracefnoi only; the
limits of. Texas but all the domain once
Monte2umas This view, to ambitious
aspirants, added to the guaranties of Eng
land of her independence arid loan of large
sums for ten years, based upon, a treaty that
English manufactures shall be free of-'dutyt
is gaining j a party in Texas. ' General
Houston is still the leading start and his
influence alone canbecoUnted upon to re
sist the present influehceVof England land
its increasing power. How long thisrin
flwence of England can bp successfully
withstood in Texas is becoming' a very
questionable matter. I have taken a view
of the whole grouud, given to all informa
tion its due weight, and I say to you that
unless Congress act upon this subject
promptly, Texas will be beyond pur grasp,
and lost to the United States forever, un
less regained by the sword, . What will be
the situation of our country, with British
manufactures -introduced duty free into
TeXas? Comment is unnecessary.
I hazard; nothing in say ing that, if the
present Congress do not act promptly upon
this subject, the next will not have the
power.. The consent of Texas cannot then
be obtained, Great Britain will have laid
the lion's paw upon her, and bound her by
treaty. . - . ;V , -. '" ; ,.y' I ' -
I am exhausted; but from Major Donel
sort's letter,! and other sources pf informa
tion, 4he danger of losing Texas seemed so
imminent, that although feeble, I could not
forbear to say this much to yoii, t-iat you
might communicate it tom friendsi May
God bless you and youis. ; j ;f

Wants rectifying. In the Greenville
(S. C.) Mountaineer we find that it is com
plained of that a large amount of North
Carolina parjbr money is in circulation in
tharj)istrictj which most of the merchants
receive not without reluctance, and some
refuse to take it at all, unless at a discount
The bills says the Mountaineer,' are issued
at Asheville N, C , by the Branch of the
Bank CapeFear, nd made payable in
some remote 'pari of the State. '
i! This way of issuing notes at one place
and making them payable at another and a
remote place, is a Bank trick, which calls
loudly for reform. If a bank is solvent,
and intends 4o be honest, why not pay its
liabilities at any place and every plae
where payment may.be demanded?
