BANK DEBTs.-The joint examining committee appointed by the Legislature to examine the debis due from the several counties in this State 10 the Bank of the State of kbanla and Branches, and 10 classify the same into good, bad, doubtful and un- known, have recently submitted their report to the House of Representative. The report says
 The committee commenced their abors by causing the Representatives of the several counties tp attend al the Bank and mark the indebtedness of their re- specliye counties to inc said Bank and Branches and classify the same inro good, bad and doubtful, and unknown. Your committee believe this classi6- cation has been performed with great care and accu- racy. The amount of debts due the Banks is classi- fled as follows, vz:-'Good" S6,755, ,103 27; "Doubllul' s1 ,O19.395 IS; Bad" st, ,l79 ,6SO 27; "Unknown" s632, ,792 AS, making ihe grand total of indebtedness due the Banks, Sl46s6 ,7Si 90. Your committee feel assured that ths chs aiion gyes as accurate n statement as could be led under the circumstances; yet from their know ledge of the debts chased bad, doubtful and unknown, they be-
 eve considerable amount of il could be collected provided more efficient mode of collection could be adopted, either by giving the Directors more dis cretion that class of indebtedness or by appoin- ing competent agents to collect the same. There is good reason 10 believe that many o the debtors, chased as bad, doubtful and unknown, are not nsol- vent in point of iact but in various ways have eluded the raym .nt of their debts.

From the Richmond Enonirer

The signs are more cheering from Washington. in defiance of Hale from New Hampshire. We are happy to hear a, Col. Benton will give up his bill. Instructions confde nly expected from the legs- lature of Maine to her Senators. The cause of an nexation is gaining ground even in Massachusetts l, is thought that in few days the members of con gress friendly to the measure will go into caucus, and adopt some available plan.
 The correspondent of lhe Baltimore Patriot thinks that Mr. Dromqooe's scheme is the popular. The correspondent of lhe New York News thinks it will prevail, perhaps with some notifications. The correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer t"hig) has changed his opinion, and is "now fully conyinc ed that annexation proposition, in some shape or other, will pass the House this session. IL is not | n, nil improbable hut that the measure may succeed in the Senate. have this from the best authority. The chances now are, that Texas will be annexed at this session of congress" So 6en.

DFThe ST. Louis Reporter states that
Senator Benton of Missouri, returned TO
Washington City in hot haste from his res
idence in Kentucky, and that it is probable
he will be sent to England to conduct the
Oregon negotiation. The Col, at one time,
we believe, was opposed to the United
States taking possession of Oregon, and
was equally opposed to any other country
occupying it, preferring to see an independ-
ent Republic established. We believe
he now is in favor Of extending our laws
taking possession, and maintaing our indis.
putable rights. We would prefer having
the negotiations in his hands to some others
that have been mentioned in connection
with the mission.

been forced to 60 or send to st. Louis
to get such articles cast as their business re.
quired. We hope the establishment will
be literally patronsed.
