!Special Despatch to theliollepn.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The Sab-Com
mittees on Reconstruction are still taking
testimony in regard to affairs in Tennessee,
Arkansas and Virginia.
It will be several weeks before these sub
comMittees will report to the general com
mittee. Nearly all the evidence thus far
elicited is unfavorable to the admission of
repreientatives from these States.
It is said that Mr. Bancroft addressed a
note to the English and French Ministers,
informing them that he intended to speak
freely of their conduct, and that he thought
it was but courteous to advise them of the
fact in advance. The French Minister was
not present.
The Government have received nothing
recently from Mr. Adams of his desire to
return home. It is certain there will be rio
change in the English mission for some
time.
The Senate Naval Committee are prepar
ing a bill to increase the pay of the officers
of the Navy. The proposed increase will
be similar to that of the Army.
A stringent bill to prevent smuggling on
the Canadian frontier will be reported to
the House by the Ways and Means Com
mittee in a few days.
Tae Methodist' Conference with the
President.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—When the Com
mitteeof the Baltimore Annual Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, appointed
to wait upon President Johnson, had re
turned to the Conference, sitting at Alexan
dria, they reported that they had a most
interesting and pleasing interview with the
President,who had entertained them kindly
—to the exclusion of other important busi
ness.
They said they had 'laid before him the
case of the churches of tnis Conference
which had been taken possession of by the
military, and a rumor that the seizure
was in accordance with an order issued 6 by
the President.
The President said he was not aware of
such an order; and the Committee promised
he President a written statement of the
facts in regard to the church property and
the position of the Conference.
— At the conclusion of Mr. Wilson's report,
the Hon. John Hongan, member of Con
gress from Missouri, who had accompanied
the committee, rose, and substantiated the
statement of Mr. Wilson, and further stated
that in a conversation With the President,
Mr. Johnson had unhesitatingly said,
that no such order as the
one referred to had emenated from him. He
referred to an order from the War Depart
ment that had been issued relating to a
church in Winchester, but that it had been
directed to General Hancock to investigate
the facts and make report, and he thought
it had been satisfactorily adjusted.
Mr.. Hogan mentioned the case of a
church in Missouri, in which the President
had directed an investivation to be made,
and the facts reported to him for adjust
ment, and stated that the policy of the
President was to restore the rights of all
loyal people, and ieave future questions to
be settled by the courts after the parties
shall have been placed in the status they oc
cupied before the:difficulties.
Txas.
GenvnsToN, Texas, Feb. 13.—Governor
Hamilton's message to the State Conven
tion, calls attention to the absolute require
ment of the general Government touching
the doctrine of absolute State Sovereignty,
the abolishment of slavery, the right of the
blacks to testify in the courts of justice and
to be protected in person and property, and
the repudiation of the rebel debt.
In the Convention Judge Latemer, from
Red River, introduced the following :
"The people of Texas, in Convention as
sembled, ordain and declare the so-called
ordinance of secession, adopted by the so
called convention of the State of Texas, at
the city of Austin, February Ist, 1861, and
all the acts and proceedings of the said
so-called convention shall be and the same
are declared to have been null and void and
of no effect whatever from the date of their
adoption; and they do hereby farther de
clare that neither the State of Texas nor any
any other State of the Federal Union has
the right in the Constitution of the United
States to secede or withdraw from the
trnion."
A motion of Judge Frazer to lay die re
solution on the table was lost—yeas 45,
nays 38.
A substitute was offered by Judge Han
cock, declaring the Secession ordinances re
volutionary, and therefore void. The reso
lution and substitute were referred.
A resolution was offered referring to the
binding effect of all laws passed since the
date of the Convention not in conflict with
the Constitution of the 'United States; also,
a resolution proposing to increase the num
ber of Judges of the Supreme Court.

Orin Mom lINFOETErICATE.—On Sunday
last, as some persons were walking on the
beach near Cedar Grove, Staten Island,they
discovered the body of an unknown woman
resting upon the sand,where it had evidently
but lately been cast by the waves, utterly
devoid of clothing of covering of any kind,
excepting a white cotton stocking which en
veloped one of the feet. It was the corpse
of a handsome and apparently a tenderly
nurtured lady of pernaps thirty years, and
upon examination was found to have a
fresh wound, as though made with some
blunt instrument, upon the right posterior
portion of the head. Her hair was black,
glossy and beautiful, her teeth even and
good, and to all appearance she must have
met her death suddenly, there being ob
servable none of the usual outward indica
cations of disease. A physician was sum
moned to see if life( had indeed departed.
He reported that there were no hopes, and
that the remains must have been in the
water for some hours. Coroner Henry B.
Gould was called, and held an inquest
during the same day, the verdict rendered
being, "Death from unknown causes; either
drowning, or 'violence and drowning." The
jury were of the opinion that the woman
must have been foully dealt with. No clue
to her friends was obtained. The Coroner
will preserve the body for identification for
two days longer tit Stapleton landing,
Staten Island, where applicatien for par
ticulars may be made.—New York .Eferaid.
WE learn, from the Erie Dispatch, of the
discovery of oil wells in places where they
had never beentknown to exist before. The
wells 'were dug for water, and have always
produced it until the occasion of the late
fire, when they suddenly exchanged it for
oil. A poor Irishwoman is the lucky owner
of one, which is only sixteen feet deep, and
is pumping a barrel every ten minutes. She
was offered $5,000 on the spot, which she re
fused to take. One man, who has a pump
in his house, pumped his sink full several
times, but could get nothing to put- it in.
and had to - hold'up. " There's no ill wind
but blows somebody good."
WE learn, says the Louisville Democrat
of the 9th, that an exciting state of affairs
exists in Boone county, Ky. Information
was received at General Palmer's head
quarters; yesterday, ito the effect, that re
turned relsel soldiers or others are driving
all the Union men out of the county, and
murdering or maltreating all the ,negroes
they can find. General Palmer despatched
Captain Leavitt and fifty men, yesterday,
to settle affairs and restore peace and order.
THP, DAILY EVENING BULLETIN ; PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1866..
MYsTuntous SUICIDE. This morning,
about seven o'clock, the body of an un
known man was found by a Nineteenth
Ward policeman, lying upon the sidewalk
of Susannah street, below Richmond.
Susannah street runs from Richmond street
to the river, at the foot of the Reading
Railroad coal wharves. The man had bean
shot through the head. The ball entered
just below the right eye and passed out at
the back of the head. The front part of the
-skull had been blown entirely off. From
the circumstances, it is believed that the
deceasen committed suicide. By his side
was a single-barreled pistol, which had but
recently been discharged. His vest pocket
was full of percussion cap, and in one of
his other pockets several large buckshot
were found.
The deceased was a stranger in the neigh
borhood. There was nothing about his
person by which hie name or residence
could be ascertained. The body was re
moved to the Nineteenth Ward Police Sta
tion, and during the morning was viewed
by upwards of a hundred persons, but none
of them were able to recognize it.
From appearances, the deceased was
about twenty-eight or thirty years of age,
and bad not been a hard working man. He
was well dressed. His clothing, which had
evidently :not been worn very long, con
sisted of a dark brown overcoat, brown and
red plaid vest and, pants, fancy blue neck
tie, high boots_and light Kossuth hat.
Coroner Taylor was notified to hold an
inquest in the case.
MIIBDER—A PHYSICIAN SHOT.—Dr. Le
vering; a physician, residing on the Lan
caster turnpike, just beyond White Hall,
was shot aild instantly killed, last evening.
He had been out on a visit to a patient, and
was returning to his home. When nearhis
house, a pistol or gun was fired by some
unknown and concealed person. Three
large buckshot entered the breast of Dr.
Levering, and he expired almost instantly.
An investigation of the circumstances was
commenced by the Coroner of Montgomery
county, but thus far the affair is involved
in mystery. No clue to the murderer has
yet been found. The deceased was upwards
of fifty years of age, and leaves a family.
ROBBING A SOLDlNR.—Charles Keller was
before Aldeaman Hutchinson, this morn
ing, upon the charge of larceny. He went
out with a soldier yesterday morning, and
the latter alleges that he was robbed of $l5O.
Previous to starting, Keller was known to
have no money, and last evening, after his
return, he got a .$2O note changed. On his
person were found a pair of suspenders and
a pocket knife, which were identified this
morning by the soldier. Keller was com
mitted in default of $l,OOO bail to answer at
cc urt.
DEAD BODY ForNu.—This morning the
body of an unknown man was found on the
Darby road, close to the gate of the alms
house. It is supposed that the bony had
been prepared for use for dissecting pur
poses and then left where it was found.
Coroner Taylor was sent for to hold an in
quest.
LARCENY OF MONEY.—John O'Rourke
was arrested last night at Twenty-fourth

More About the Burning Well.
We have already noticed the existence of
a wonderful burning oil well on the Alle
gheny river, fifteen miles below Franklin.
A correspondent who has just visited it
says: The flames rise to a great height, and
are plainly visible at Oil City, Franklin,
Mercer and Georgetown. Large numbers
from all parts of the country have visited it,
and crowds continue to some every night.
The writer of this embraced an opportunity
to visit it a few evenings since, arriving
there shortly after dark. The roaring and
crackling of the flames can be distinctly
heard at the distance of a mile. The grouna
around the well for nearly five hundred feet
in every direction has been thoroughly
baked by the heat. The trees are budding,
and some have actually put forth leaves.
In some places the grass has grown two
inches high, forcibly reminding one of sum
mer on a small scale. The flames rise to a
height of sixty feet, sometimes higher,
lighting up the hills and valleys for miles
around. At times it burns fiercer than
usual, breaking and roaring and threaten
ing to burst the earth and engulph all
within its reach, and forming a scene beau
tifully grand and sublime. This well, it
may be remarked, has been singularly
frnitful of disaster from its beginning.
When putting it down two men were killed.
One engaged in hauling up the tools
when the pulley at the top of the derrick
broke and fell on his head, killing him in
stantly. The other was killed by being
entangled in the machinery.
THE 010 EAT Cincinnati bridge about to be
suspended across the Ohio will, it is said,
be the longest in the world, being over two
thousand feet longer that the suspension
bridge over the Niagara river, and five
hundred and forty feet longer than the
enai bridge in England. Its total span
will be one thousand and fifty-seven yards.
The massive stone piers tower one hundred
and ten feet over the floor of the bridge, and
two hundred feet above their foundations.
One year is the period allowed for building
it.
THE SHAW MONIIMENT.-Of the $25,000
to be raised for the erection of an equestrian
monument to Col. Robert G. Shaw, of the
54th (colored) regiment, Massachusetts Vo
lunteers, $12,000 have already been volun
tarily subscribed, and it is thought the com
mittee will soon secure the whole amount.

Finance and Bturtness—.Feb. 14,1866
There Is no falling off in the supply of Money on the
on the street, but trade is ex cessively dull in all de
partmenta, and there is a marked absence of any
speculative spirit among the mercantile community.
Much disappointment prevails in financial circles at
the delay in Congress in acting upon the Financial
Bill, and the universal belief that the policy indicated
by Mr. McCulloch will be materially modified, keeps
business in abeyance. Government Loans were steady
at 10374 for the Coupon Sixes, 'al; 9934 for the Seven-
Thirties, and 103 for the Five-Twenties. State and City
