7 COLUMBIA. Sunday Mo ruing, June 3, 1866. Thr Mew Plan. We subjoin tke joint resolutions proposed by tbe Centra] Di recio ry of tin? radicals in Congress as an amend? ment, to tile Constitution of Clio UuiteU States. This new scheme, it is sahl, will iv eeive the sanction of the President, (a statement, however, we can sea ice? ly believe.) That it will pass both bouges of Congress in nearly its pre? sent shape is highly probable, and, therefore, as it will in that event be submitted to the people of tho South? ern States, we publish its provisions: Resolved, by (he Sew ile. and House of Representatives of the United Stales of America in Congress assembled, (tteo thirdsvf ' both Houses coneurri?g'% J That the following article be proponed by the Legislatures of the several States as ah amendment to the Ct institution of the United States, which, win n ratified by three-fourths of said Le? gislatures, shall bc valid as part of the Constitution, namely: SEC. 1. All persons boru in thc United States and subject to the ju? risdiction thereof, aro citizens of the United Htatos and of thc Stritt?? wherein they reside. No State shu ll make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or inimunrtie* of citizens or tho United States; noi shall any State deprive any person ol life, liberty or property, without .lue process of law; nor deny to any per? son within ila jurisdiction the equal protection of tho laws. SEC. 2. Representatives shall bc apportioned among the several States which may be included within th? Union, according to their respective utimbers, counting the whole niimbei of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But whenever ii any State the elective franchise si tal be denied to any portion of its mah inhabitants, being citizens of tin United States, not less than twenty one years of age, or in any TO abridged, except for participation ii rebellion or other crime, the basis o representation in such State shall lu reduced in the proportion which tin number of such male citizens shal beal* to the whole number of mal citizens not less than twenty-?m years of age in such State. S SEO. 3. No person shall be a S? natur or Representative in Congress or elector of President and Vice-Pi t aident, or hold any office, civil o military, under tim Unite?! Slates, o under any State, who, having previ ously taken au oath as a member < Congress, or as an officer of iii United States, or as a member < any State Legislature, or as an exe< utive or judicial officer of any Stat? to support the Constitution of tb United States, shall have engage?l i insurrection or rebellion against til same, or given aid and comfort to th enemies thereof. But Congressman by a vote of two-thirds of each Hons? remove such disability. SEC. 4. The obligations of tl. United States incurred in suppressiu insurrection, or in defenc?i of tl) Union, or for payment of bounties c pensions incident thereto, shall r< main inviolate. SEC. 5. Neither the United Stat? nor any State shall assume or pm any debt or obligation incurred i aidof insurrection oPrebellion again the United States, or any claim f< compensation for the hiss or email?: pation of any slave; but all sin debts, obligations and claims shall 1 forever held illegal and void. SEO. 6. The Congress shall ha power to enforce by appropria legislation the provisions of this a ticle. The first section, it will bo pe ceived, unlike the civil rights 1? passed some time ago over the Pr sident's veto, would make the san bill constitutional. In the second sc tiou, the radicals have abandon? their former proposition-that Co gress has the power to regulate t question of auftrage in the Stat? but they take care that if the negro do not vote, they shall not be repr sen ted, thus reducing the represent tiun of every Southern State whi denies them the right. The third sectiou is the most li initiating in the batch, notwitlistai i i ig its concluding clause. It mal ineligible to a seat in Congress ainu every man in the Southern Stat' There is Only ono way to render tl section inoperative, and that is t proclamation of a general amnesty tho President, which even Tin Stevens himself admitted some ti ago would wipe out past olTenc Tho apparent redeeming clause at ( end is utterly worthless, unless i party complexion of Congress is dically changed. Tho fourth section provides w is totally unnecessary -that United States shall pay its del Everybody knows she will do tl The fifth sari io ii repudiates Sonthern war debt, ami further y hibits forever the payment of n claim brought against the <i?ive mont by any Southern citizen, loyal or otherwise, it. .is simple und sheet, repudiation. Unde?- thc prirent prolialrilities thal this, radical scheme will past* both booses ot' Congress, and be sub-' milted to tit.' people ol' thu United ?States?in an amendment to the Con-] siltation, wo co iuooail it to tl?ecare? ful <x>iisideratioii of the people nf thc Southern States, believing; that they never will give snob an outrageous proposition their assent. I'll?, risa i cal Hou?r. Tho pupers representing the radi? cal interest at Hie North, arc loudly denouncing- the bombardment of Val? paraiso by tho Spanish lleet. Why these hypocritical caiitings now against a loreign power by the North? ern and the English press, when they were mute during the lute war, when many Southern cities were bombariT I ed, and some of them without notice, where there was no resistance, and whose inhabitants were non oomb.it autsaml women and children. Charleston was bombarded for mouths, and not with thc hope of re? ducing lier by these means. Colum? bia, on the morning-of thc 10th Feb? ruary, I $05, was aroused by the whimne; of shells, and that, too, without any no'?ce ot such nu attack. IL was a most pib'ous sight to sec old men, women and children running away from t heil humes and betaking themselves to the woods, to escapo tho cruel missiles. Petersburg and other I cities shared the same treatment, yet to our recollection there was not a word of denunciation from the press of the North <>r (beat Britain against these unnecessary assault:; on thoso j populous cities. Such is the consis? tency ol' these now outspoken jour- j nals. Hiiiri Sell Your [?aluis. As a lift ing; accompaniment to an article we penned for yesterday's pa per, we reproduce from the Richmond Times, ol" the 30th ult., the following brief but excellent piece ol' advice to ! Sont hern proprietors : Let no Southern proprietor be ?ti j haste to sell his land. ( >nr lands and j our honor constitute about tho only j property of value left us by tho war, and there are not wanting men who ? would have ns purl with both upon terms too dear to be acceptable. High taxes, hard times, disgust with freedmen and with tho revolution in th?: agriculture of the South, will ? probably ?hiv?! many of our peopl?' to hasty and inc.msiderate sacrifices of their leal estate. Such a course, would be eminently unwise and im? prudent. This, of all times, is the worst period t-> sell, because land is; amazingly cheap everywhere, but is j not destined to continue so. The ! very fact of the cheapness ol' our j lands will soon inaugurale a desire to 1 obtain them, which, stimulating com petition from increased demand, will enhance their value. Moreover, the prospect of s European war will vastly increase the flood of immigra? tion to this country; for thos<; foreigners know what war is, and tens of thousands will seek to escape it. Most of thes?' immigrants will bring with Hiern som?: money, which they never fail to invest in a little farm, cultivated on the European system. There is an idea prevalent, that there is still an enormous area of arable land unappropriated in the great, West. This is a mistake. West of Kansas ami Nebraska 300 miles West ?>f the Missouri River there is bul little goo?! land. That vast country between the last men Honed States and the Rocky Moun? tains constitutes the central table land of North America, ami i. so high as io be cold ami frosty, ami in summer is parched by pitiless and protracted droughts. In addition ?<< these ?li scon nihill g; facts, there is a luck of timber, which will be repul? sive to settlers. All these considerations indicate that immigration will hereafter swoop l?> points where cheap, arable lands can be obtained in such aban.lane as to meet, the demands of all cornel's Nowhere in th.- ITnibnl States, ex? cept in the South, are these comli tions now fnllilled. The eagerness with which oar lands ami railroads are sought by greedy speculators demonstrates their pros pective value in the eyes ?d' these keen-scented fellows, who see clearly where money can be made. Our lands ari- bonnd to increase in value, and our people err greatly in their desire to sacrifice them. Let them hold on awhile. l'ci?SONAn. - Major-General Daniel E. Sickles, in command of this De par linen t, arrived in Charleston Fri day, on the steamer Cosmopolitan, from N?>w York.

Tin; radicals seize hohl of this loving and beauti? ful demonstration, and endeavor to prove therefrom that treason bas not boon '-'made odious," and that it is far from dead.

SEWARD, OCR ONCE LOYAL AND PATRIOTIC SECRETARY OF STATE." These aro the head-lines published iu large type over Secretary Seward's Auburn speech by tho Philadelphia Press. They proclaim that in the opinion of John W. Forney's paper, Secretary Seward is no longer loynl or patriotic. The speech which has elicited this scandalous insinuation was a temperate and chaste appeal in behalf of a speedy restoration of peace and Union. It contaiued the following catholic sentiment: "I am hopeful of the President, hopeful of tho Congress, hopeful of the National Union party, hopeful of the Democratic party, hopeful of tho represen ted and unrepresented States; above all, hopeful of tho whole peo J)le, and hopeful of the continued avor of Almighty Cod." The man who uttered that grand sentiment has devoted his life to the welfare of the American people, and during the war of tho rebellion shielded us by wise utatesuanship from foreign intervention. Tho scars inflicted by a rebel assassin havo hardly yet healed upon his face, and because he exercises the right of a citizen and a high public officer to advocate reconciliation and Union, ho is denounced as disloyal and un? patriotic, lt is as abominaiilo an ex? hibition of bigoted partisanship as we have ever witnessed, and deserves the heartiest censure of tho press and people. -Pittsburg Chronicle, (Rep.)

Thus has another been caUed to that "bourne from whence no traveler can r? turn." Death is a solemn thing; but with the aged Christian it is a sweet sleep. "Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep From which none ever wake to weep." The subject of this brief notice was a member of the church, having occupied that position for over forty years. He led an exemplary life, and died in a full assur? ance of a home beyond the grave. H? leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his d' atti; but their loss is his eternal gain. Mourn not, bereaved onus; he ia nappy now. He cannot, retara t.. you, but you can go to him. Happy thought! Yon ?.an meei him where death eau tu-v.T si-pa rate von again.
