Hon. Charles J. Ingersoll.—The Washington Globe contains a long letter from Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, of Pa., upon the project of annexing Texas to the Union. The paper, Mr. I. says, was carefully elaborated from authentic information as a report to be made by the committee on foreign affairs. Circumstances occurred in the committee which prevented its being presented, and Mr. I. has published it over his own name. The Globe says of it that it is the most authentic publication yet made on this subject. It favors immediate annexation.
Gov. Polk, of Tennessee, has also come out in favor of immediate annexation, in a letter to a committee in Cincinnati.
And Commodore Stewart has come out in a similar letter to the Hon. J. Thompson, a member of congress from Mississippi.
