The Reconstruction Committee had a pro tracted session last night. They haVe reached no conclusion. They are averse to sending a Committee to the South. While it is well known that the President is anxious for the admission of the Tennes see delegation, it is hardly probable that the House portion of the Committee will con sent to their admission. Senator Wilson's bill reorganizing the army is not in accordance with Gen. Grant's views. The order mustering out eighty general officers, published to-day,' creates considerable consternation in military circles. Marine Disasters.

Cotton, especially the superior grades has advanced. Bishop Gregg, of the Episcopal diocese of Texas, has arrived here on his way North' on church matters. Accounts from Louisiana country papers represent the freedmen as indisposed to contract, and refusing to make any agree ments except near the towns, expecting something extraordinary to turn up. In the parish of St. James work on sev eral large plantations was entirely stopped on the first instant on this account, and there is some coinplaint in the other pol ishes. A number of the principal planters of the Attakapas emigrated a few ditys since to Balize, Honduras. General Huniphreys, U. S. Engineers, advertises for proposals to build a number of important levees- on the Mississippi, the work to be done .by the middle of March next, and paid for by the Government.

A Man Attempts to Murder 1115 Wife. This morning, about three o'clock, cries of murder were heard to lime from a hotuse on Pennsylvania avenue, near Coates street, in the Fifteenth Ward. The second story room of the house is occupied by Jacob Weaver, a German, a shoemaker by trade. Weaver has been in the habit of drinking freely,and when in an intoxicated condition always quarrels with his wife. Late last right he went home drunk,and commenced abusing his wife. He beat her first with his fist and then attacked her with a club. The poor woman was beaten in a horrible maser. Her head was smashed almost into a jelly. The disturbahce was heard by the other inmates of the houee,and they sounded an alarm. Officers Spear and Osvanfiell rushed to the spot and arrested Weaver. The circumstances of the affair were re ported to Lieut. Loveaire, and he secured the services of Dr. Steward. The injuries of Mrs. Weaver were dressed, but her con dition was so critical that the physician prohibited her removal to the hospital as was contemplated. The woman had been dragged out of bed previous to the murderous assault upon her. The walls of the apartment were be spattered with blood, and on the floor were two large pools. A club, about two feet in length, with one end covered with hair, clotted with blood, was found in the room. Mrs. Weaver has four children, the youngest being but two weeks old. The three eldest were taken to the Northern Home for Friendless Children, by Lieut. Loveaire, and the baby was taken charge of by a lady residing in the neighborhood. Weaver had a hearing this morning before Alderman Hutchinson, His hands and shirt were then covered with blood. He was committed to await the result of the injuries inflicted. REMOVING THE Rungs.—Every citizen who has passed along Chestnut street above Sixth, since the late disastrous contiagratiOn there, has noticed the dangerous masses of stone left in the corner of building No. 609 when the front wall of No. 607 fell out into the street during the progress of the fire. The stones, weighing many tons. hung in a more ticklish position than the big boulder hangs in the "flume" in the White Moun tains, and they threatened momentarily to fall greatly to the damage of property and possibly to person. "Why don't they take those stones down?" was the query that was propounded every minute of the day, but as is usually the case, the solution of the ques tion was a much more difficult matter than the submitting of the query. The fact is it was a game of jackstraws on a huge scale, and the builder who was to handle the over hanging mass of ruins had to go at it as gingerly as though a touch would send the entire mass toppling into the street. The work was entrusted to Mr. George Plow man, and he went at it with the skill of an experienced engineer; He first constructed a scaffold some seventy-five or eighty fee in the air, on the ruins of No. 607. so as to guard against the possibility of the overhanging mass falling into the street. A huge derrick was then put in position, and this morning the work of removing the stones was performed. There were proba bly a dozen different blocks, ranging from a ton each to a few hundred pounds. all of which had to be secured before any attempt to move either could be made. Most of them were lashed to prevent their falling when the movement took place; but the two largest were so swung from the derrick that a purchase could be brought to bear upon both at the same moment. This critical op eration was performed at nine o'clock this morning in view of hundreds of almost breathless spectators. The mechanical con trivances of Mr. Plowman worked like charm; the heavy masses of stone were lifted gently and easily from their precari ous resting places and lodged upon the sidewalk as safely as though they were bricks instead of heavy masses of stone. Now that the dangerous portion of the ruins is out of the way, the work of clearing op and rebuilding will be commenced with as little delay as possible, and that portion of CheStnut street will soon present its wonted appearance of elegance and business activity. FIRE PROOF SAFE BLOWN OPEN.—The dwelling of Mr. Michael Bonvier, No. 140 North Broad street. was entered some time during last night. In a small room adjOict the parlor is a fireproof safe. Upon this the burglars must have operated for some time. Four or five holes were :bored in the lock, and these were filled with gunpowder. The explosion ,which followed made a, loud repoit and shook the entire house. The lb& on the fire proof safe was blown off and the window in the room was.completely shat tered. The noise aroused the inmates of the house, and a servant sprang a rattle from an upper window. This attracted the attention of a couple; ofpolicemen, but when they, reached thehouse the burglars could not be foimd. ,, No plunder was obtained. t YOUTMFUL HIGHWAY ROBBER,Y.—A I lad , while passing Tenth and Chestnut streets , about six. o'clock, 'last evening, was set upon by a crowd'of boys who had congregated ,thgre, and 'was beaten and robbed., ne ; r turued with a policeman, and was , again attacked.` The officer, captured one of assailants. .

Summer Clothing and Shirt Sleeves in Savannah. [From the Savannah Bepublican,Dec. 29.] Are we ever to have a cold day in Savan nah during the winter season again ? Was not Christmas day last more like the Fourth of July from the excessive heat? Questions mixed up with the usual small talk here of parties meeting each other daily in the streets. Wood cutters are complaining bitterly at how dull business is, for nobody will buy firewood, and for the poor of this city, especially the poor colored people, it is, without a doubt, a great bless mg there is no need for it. How surprised some of our friends North would be, could they, by some spiritual medium, be sudden ly transported here to Savannah to feel the rays of an almost burning sun, see nothing but the lightest summer clothing, little or no hoops, and our charming Southern belles going to church with their bright faces en shrouded with so many bright flowers in their summer hatri and bonnets; and in the evening, all the gentlemen out on the piazzas, for the most part in their shirt sleeves and bare headed, quietly smoking their cigars and enjoying a delightful siesta. Probably our Northern friend might imagine, if he was a spiritualist, that he was in the land of dreams, or if he did not happen to belong to the unearthly be ings, he might perhaps think that the last time he went to sleep he had slept six months. without any covering on her feet except a pair of stockings. She went through the mountains, climbing stone fences, difficult even for a well person to surmount, over rocks, through bushes and briars, climbing some time on her hands and feet, to the summit ofa steep and precipitous hill, from which, as would appear, she walked off. striking her head against the limbs of trees and against the rocks below, upon which in a number of places were found marks of blood. She was discovered at the foot of the hill, cold and lifeless.—Newark .T.)Ad vertiser. Coal Statement. The following is the statement of the Little Schuil kill coal trade .for 1866, to Saturday. Jan.
