are going into cotton planting. There are
four hundred thousand acres of the richest
cotton land on the Brazos river alone still
untouched by the plow. Hon. Albert H.

Eleven Men Frozen to Death.
[From the Beaver Dam (Wis.) Citizen, 9th.]
We are permitted to copy the following
from a letter written to: Mrs. Reid by her
sister, residing near Hamilton, Fillmore
county, Minnesota. There was a brother of
Frank Ibberson, druggist, in Fox Lake,
frozen to death on the 20th ult., just at night,
while going home from mill, within a half
a mile and in plain sight of his own house,
which is one mile from here.
We have heard of ten other men who per
ished in the same.storm—six of them alto
gether in a sleigh froze as they were sitting
in the sleigh. Three other men had been to
the timber, and it seems they could not keep
up with their teams, one was found, the
others were not the last account we had; the
one found was frozen in a standing posture,
with both hands covering his face, within
three rods of a house. These calamities have
all happened within twelve or fourteen
Miles of here, and I have no doubt we shall
hear of others.

[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—The R3construo..
Lion Committee are in session to-day for the
purpose of deciding upon the fate of Ten
nessee. A majority of the. Committee, at
the last meeting, voted in favor of her ad
mission into the "Union on - an equal
footing with the other States in all
respects whatever, her Constitution, on due
examination, being found to be .republican
in its form. If this course is adopted by the
Committee, which-is very probable, it set
tles matters in regard to the other Southern
States.
Robert E. Lee will be examined by the
Sub-Committee on Reconstruction this
afternoon, in regard to the condition of
affairs in Virginia. He will be put through
a most rigid examination.
Several Senators to-day called upon the
President,for the purpose of ascertaining the
fate of the Freedmen's bill. The President
is very reticent upon the subject. There is
no doubt it will be returned to the Senate
with his objections to it.
Rumors of Frightful Disasters.
NEW YORK, Feb.l7.—Rumors are current
of frightful disasters in the East river,
caused by the ice this morning. Inquiries
are being made to ascertain the truth of the
reports.
XXXIXth Congress—First Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 1866.
HousE—To-day was devoted to speech
making. •
Mr. Cook (111.) argued that the power of
recognizing the Seceded States as in the
Union rests with Congress. When the
military power can safely be withdrawn and ,
these States remain peaceably in the '
Union of their own accord and not by force,
and the Union men and Freedmen do not
require a military force to protect them, the
civil government should be recognized; but
no military power could set aside the enact
ments and judicial decisions of the States
fully in the Union. While these acts were
necessary the States shbald - not be recog
nized.

CORONER'S TIVQATEST.—Coroner Taylor
held an inquest, this afternoon, upon the
body of Dr. Wm. Mount, who was killed by
being.run over by a wagon, at Fourth and
Arch streets. The fact that the carriage
was driven at a rapid and illegal rate of
speed was fully established by the evidence,
and the verdict of the jury severely cen
sured the driver, John McSween. The .
latter was then committed by the Coroner
to answer the charge of homicide. He was
arrested by Officers Stapler and Lamsback,
who witnessed the, occurrence.
