Efiract-January B, 1945-ssWe have as yet, done nothing, on the subject of An neXaton, in the Senate; except some three or four Resolutions of enquiry about her debt, lands, sc. In the House, the subject is de- ! tending the debates, but withouthearing much that was new on either side. In the House, it is now i'll committee of the whole; and, t IS Said, by the leaders, will be taken out of the committee on tomorrow or next day at larthest and will be passed during the week as they believe The kno,cing ones count on IF votes for annexation, besides those who go for the measure with limitations and con- ditions; and they confidently state that some eight or ten Wings will, also, go with them. In the Senate, il Is now confidently beiiered that Mir. Benton will abandon his bill, and give cordial support to immediate annexa- ton, without important conditions. And the prospect of carrying the measure, in the Sen- ate, is certainly brightening; though l yet esteem il very doubtful.

 s.On account of the severe castigatiou which Yancey, of Alabama, inflicted upon Clingman, of North Carolina, in his speech, on the 7th, Clingman las challenged him to fight duel It is supposed they will fight this morning, near the city.o

 Epeaing.-"Since writing you this morn- ing, Mir. FOSTER, of Tennessee, has intro- duced in the Senate, proposition for the an- nexation of Texas; leaving her the title to all her lands; declaring them appropriated to the extingnishment of her debts, Sc and de- claring the Missouri compromise, west of the Tooth degree of longitude, to be in force- That is, that no slavery shall exist north of 36 degrees 30 minutes north latitude, which is the north line of our State. It was not de- bated; but find it was received with con- siderable favor. And coming from the other side of the House, made it more acceptable. l could not get copy of the proposition, to send you; but it will be in the Globe of to- morrow morning.

 ..'The duel between Yancey and Clingman terminated happily. Neither was hurt. and they have made friends. Clingman fired into the gropad and Yancey into the air-his friends say he did so designediy, and so stated his determination before he went out
