COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Feb. 13, 1867. Th?' New Plan.--Gov. Orr. We have already expressed our views in relation to the new plan of reconstruction and the practicability of action thereon. A majority of our Southern coteniporaries incline to the belief that it is the best mode of reconstruction that the South can obtain, and we have no hesitation to express our belief that if offered in good faith and sincerity by the peo? ple of the North, or by the radical party in Congress, ihat a large ma? jority, not only of the propio of this State, but of all her co-States of the South, would as sincerely accept it as tho supreme law of the land and as a compromise between the two sections now at variance-or rather, lei ns say, between that section whose power, as claimed, gives them the right to dictate the terms of re? union. Wo therefore regret to see one of our State coteniporaries-the Chcraw Advertiser-publishin ; a very severe article, under the caption of "Gov. Orr's Secret Mission," against our distinguished Chief Magistrate, | charging him with disposing of, by bargain and sale, "the rights and in? terests of all the citizens of the State, for a consideration that himself and his co-conspirators are zealously en? deavoring to keep concealed from those concerned most;" and charges, further, that he has bargained that tho people of the State shall ratify the amendment to the State Consti? tution, which wo have published, as a part of thc new scheme of recon? ciliation. Whatever may be the opinion of tho Advei-tiser, or of ourselves, as to thc wire-pulling or intrigue of politi cians, we submit that tho article to which we refer, and from which we have quoted, is, not written in that spirit of amity which should inspire all who have control of the public press at this critical juncturo of our country's affairs. We have not seen Gov. Orr since his return from Wash? ington, but feel well assured that neither he, nor the. prominent South? ern gentlemen who acted with him in this matter, has given any cause for the allegation brought against them by our cotemporary. On the con? trary, we believe that, feeling the evils now existing, and, perhaps, sorer evils in store for us, would be remedied or averted by the restora? tion of the Southern States to their rights as members of the Union, they have agreed upon the plan of adjust? ment, which tlie Advertiser censures, as the one most likely to accomplish that desirable end. There is no bar? gain or sale in the matter. A future Legislature of tho State, or a con? vention of her people, must eventu? ally decide thc action South Carolina will take in the premises; and if it be found (as we have reason to believe it will be) that the people of all sections of the country can unite on this basis for reconstruction, then will G ovcrnor Orr, instead of being regarded as a "conspirator," be remembered as a patriot and statesman. -.-??-? SAD CASUALTY.-The Wiunsboro News says that a son of Mr. James MeCrory was riding in the "new grounds" with Mr. James Jones, when a burning tree fell, crushed thc lad to death and bioko Mr. Jones' thigh. --? ? ?. FERE.-About 3 o'clock, this morn? ing, fire was discovered issuing from the premises in Exchange street, oc? cupied by Mr. C. W. Tilton. The iuterioi- of the building was destroyed, together with Mr. Tilton's stock, which consisted of lumber of various kinds, machinery, agricultural imple? ments, &c. Mr. Tilton's loss will be about $12,000 or $15,000, on which he has insurance to the amount of $0,000. Mr. H. A. McLeod occupied a portion of the premises as an ollice. We could not learn what his loss will be. Thc building was owned by Messrs. John Fraser k Co. As we go to press, thc fire is still burning, and tho probability is, that thc adjoining building in thc block, owned by Wm. C. Dukes, will be con? sumed by tho lire communicating through thc roof, though ourliremen are making strenuous efforts to stay its }>rogress. Wo copy the above from the Char? leston Courier, of yesterday. To the kindness of thc attentive telegraphic operators aro wo indebted for tho in? formation that the fire did not spread beyond tho building in which it ori? ginated. St. Petersburg is afflicted with the cholera in a most virulent form. The Radical? ?nd Rome. We learn from the National Intelli? gencer that iu tho debate upon the consular and diplomatic bill, in the . House of Representatives, on Tues? day, of last week, that Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, attempted "to foist into the bill a preamble and resolu? tion prohibiting the payment of tho salary of the United States Minister to Rome, not because the individual occupying that post was objection? able, but upon thc allegation that tho Roman Government had inter? fered with Protestant churches out? side of the city of Rome and within the jurisdiction of that Govern? ment." Tho Intelligencer says that the iras? cible "commoner" must have been in a particularly bad humor over the defeat of his favorite reconstruction project, to have thus visited upon the American#representative at Rome a penalty for the sins of the Roman Government, and adds: "It would seem that the petulant 'leader of the House,' who first came to the surface in politics by his stre? nuous anti-Masonic efforts, and has ever since kept Iiis head above water by holding on to the roerro, while suecring continually at religion, is now tryiup; to save himself by assail? ing the Roman Catholics. Having dragged the congressional- majority into the persecution of tho South, he is now seeking to commit them in favor of an anti-Catholic war. Thus far ho has been successful in induc? ing thc radical majority to join him in this new raid upon this portion of our citizens." The North Carolina und Virginia papers keep the list of the fortieth Congress standing in their columns. But they haven't enterprise enough to correct the mistakes. Tho list of the Senate shows eleven vacancies, every one of which has been regular? ly filled. And by not inserting the representatives from the States "late? ly in rebellion," these pap ?rsgive aid and comfort to the radical idea that this representation is not a constitu? ent part of Congress, as much as though it were admitted into the capitol at Washington. THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT SCENES IN LONDON.-Telegraphic de? spatches, dated London, February 5, state that the Queen on that day opened Parliament in person. The day was cold and heavy, and rain was falling. The Queen arrived from Windsor at eleven o'clock, and left Bucking? ham Palace at one o'clock. There was a fine military display, but the plumes of the soldiers were draggled and their uniforms spoiled by tho rain. The crowds of people covered by umbrellas manifested no en? thusiasm, and gave no cheers as the Queen drove up to Westminster Hall and alighted. Neither were there any cheers for the Prince of Wales. The scene iu the House of Lords was magnificent. The Queen was superbly robed. She ascended tho throne and read her . peech in a clear, firm voice. Her subsequent return to Bucking? ham Palace was even more dismal than her departure. Cries of reform greeted the Queen as she passed, and the people chafed the police and the soldiers; but there was no cheering. The police behaved with great mod? eration, or trouble would have en? sued, as the crowd was ripe for mis? chief. Great preparations are making for the reform demonstration on the 12th ultimo. The bitterness of the popu? lar feeling is undisguised, and pla? cards are shown on tho .streets, say? ing mon without votes are serfs. Even personal regard for the Queen is eclipsed by the reiorm furore. The Queen has now resolved to ap? pear more in public. A series of royal receptions are announced. STARTLING TESTIMONY OP DETECTIVE BAKEK.-The Tribune's Washington letter, of Thursday, says: General Lafayette C. Baker, former? ly Detective of the War Department, is now in the city, and to-day testi? fied before the Judiciary Committee on the subject of impeachment. It is stated on high authority that ho testified that he once had in his pos? session a letter written by Andrew Johnson, while Militar}- Governor of Tennessee, addressed to Jefferson Davis, offering to identify himself and Tennessee with the Southern Confederacy on certain terms; that being doubtful of the genuineness of the signature to thc letter, he showe d the signature to the President's Pri? vate! Secretary, who positively iden? tified tho hand-writing. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.-Tho pre? cise stage which the question of the Alabama claims lias reached is indi? cated in Lord Derby's reply to a question put by Earl Russell, in tho House of Lords, last Tuesday even? ing. The British Government, it appears, have now agreed to submit the matter to arbitration, and await from the United States Government a plain statement of tho points on which adjustment on that plan is de? sired. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.-On Tues? day night last, according to the cable despatch, Lord Derby answered an inquiry of Earl Russell by saying that Lord Stanley, tho Foreign Sec? retary, had asked Mr. Seward to state plainly the points of the claims on which an adjustment, by arbitration, was desired by the Government of the United States. Thus England shows a disposition to settle the matter as soon as a clear bill of claims shall have been presented by Secre? tary Seward. If Mr. Seward has not already sent an explicit statement of the claims in question, he should send it without further delay. Let him make out the little bill at once, and enclose it in immediate reply to Lord Stanley. The sum total of the Alabama claims is but a mere baga? telle in comparison with tho vost in? terests in common between Great Britain and tho United States, and the imperative necessities for peace and mutual good will which unite thc two nations.-Netc York Herald, 0/A. NEW YOKK.-A letter, of the otb, says : The Southern relief movement, re? cently started by au association of ladies in this city, is progressing fa? vorably. The contributions received up to tho present time amount to about $10,000. Of tho progress of the movement initiated at the Cooper Institute meeting, hist week, it is difficult to say anything definite. The committee appointed to collect mo? ney is working earnestly, but evil disposed persons are inclined to throw difficulties in its way. Some tho? rough-going South-haters ave deny? ing, in public cards, that there is much suffering in the South, and trying to turn p'iblio sympathy in some other direction. But both mo\ e ments arc being pushed vigorously, and despite Puritan hostility, I think they will do a great deal of good. TAXATION WEI :TOUT REPRESENTA? TION.-The gross receipts at the New Orleans Custom House, since the first of January, 1SG0, on the tax of two cents on cotton, up to the 30th of June, and of three cents per pound since that date, amount to $1,331, 80S.34. This burdensome tax is levied upon a people whom pretended Unionists do not permit to be repre? sented in tho Government. Funeral Invitation. Thc friends and acquaintances of MUS.

THE ENGLISH OF IT.-The Wash? ington Chronicle, in an article on the course which ought, to ho pursued towards the South, says "that hard as the lesson is, the South must learn that in peace, as in war, thc North is the more powerful."
