Texas Annexed.—The decision of Judge Bragg, in the Circuit Court of Mobile, settles all doubt about 'annexation.' We learn from the Herald, that, a few days ago, Judge Bragg decided that Texas was a part of the United States! The question came up by a juror petitioning to be excused from the performance of his assigned duty on the plea that he was a citizen of Texas. The Judge ordered him to take his seat in the box with the other eleven, giving for his reason that Texas was a part of the Union, and all her citizens liable to be called upon to do duty as citizens of the United States.
