BANKs' PLAN OF REcoNsTucTIoN.-Th National
Republican says: " II reconstruction has become
a stale and hacl1leyed affair." General Banks mar
nsr Of dealing Nth it certainly did not have those
defects. It WAS startlngly fresh under his manip-
ulstion, and unique beyond the dreams of eccen-
tricity as he shaped it.
sThe main idea Of his speech was, that the con-
soldation Of the South upon the subject Of slave
ry in every proposed scheme OF reconstruction,
would be retained; that under any plan heretofore
proposed, whether Presidential or Legislative, for
the same compact and undivided combination that
it Rad when it contended for slavery within the
Unon and fought to have independence out OF 1t.
General Banks policy is to dissolve this unity and
atomize the South. He proceeds to re-organize
the individual, rather than the united Southern
States, and to utterly dissrm it from the capacity
OF Coniederacy. He would put the States lately
insurgent one by one under commission, and radi-
cally rebuild the whole framework of civil So
ciety at the South, BY eliminating from the BODY
ing into being the common orders Of society. The
proposition has nothing whatever to say concern
ing the legal attitude Of the States, as States un-
der the Constitution, but deals solely with the
events find them. In nutshell, the plan is to
divide the theatre OF rebellion and prevent its
political unity and to eradicate and extermlnate
from public influence what has before been
known as The South. The problem of annihi-
lating the civilization Of o vast section of the
county, and conjuring into life, through the
agency Of three commissioners, a new system Of
society," is too vast and involves too many profound
questions Of humanity and statesnianship for us
to give it our approval, without the most serious
reflection. We will say, however, that if General
Banks plan is questionable, the character and
manner of his speech was unexceptionable:. 1t
was high-toned, and admirable as composition,
and wholly devoid yapid defamation, unmanly
trihes and indecorous personalities. The most
Is the fearful and fatal havoc he made Of the pro-
gramme to give over to West Point the custody Of
ten States. If he does not succeed in convincing
the country Of the propriety Of his own scheme,
he will have succeeded in burying deeper than
tempt to initiate military despotism id this Re-
nuh)icn :.

MR. PEABoDY.-The Washington Republican
gratiies general curiosity, which has been ex-
cited by the princely generosity Of MIR. PEABODY,
as follows
ssWe learn that, in 1856, Mr. Peabody made o
will, which demonstrated that he was then worth
about fifty million pounds sterling. We presume,
from the liberal manner in which he scatters his
charities, that he has not grown any poorer since
II he had not transacted any business since that
time, the simple interest on such an enormous
sum would Lave largely increased his wealth; but
the fact is he has, ever since, been one of the
largest. most active and cautious bankers in the
world. Hence, his present wealth must exceed
one hundred million Of pounds sterling. This is q
mug little sum for a rainy day."
The Republican adds that Mr.. PEABoDYs late
magnificent gift is understood to have been made
in gold.

Guthrie, of this city, was burned to death on Mon-
day afternoon. It appears that she was alone in a
room, and her clothing. taking fire in a way un-
known, she was dreadfully burned before assist

the other slightly. The unfortunate young lady
died instantly. She was aged 27 years.

] GREAT STORM IN THE WEsT.-A terrible tornado
swept across the belt Of country seventy five miles
above Vicksburg on the list inst Its course was
southwest by northeast, varying towards vest. 1t
| came in the form OF water-spout from the west,
crossing from the Louisiana shore at the Morgan
plantation, sweeping through Island 81, making o
line through the timber some four hundred yards
wide and striking with full force the residence Of
the plantation was prostrated, fences blown down,
and everything that offered resistance to it's fury
swept away.
On the Louisiana side every plantation in the
neighborhood OF Milliken's Bend was moie or less
damaged. Dr.. Daneys dwelling house, steam
MILL gin house and quarters were blown down, and
the negro quarters on the plantations in the
vicinity were also destroyed. The new Catholic
church at Miikens Bend was leYeled to it's founda-
tion. Several negroes are reported killed on the
Louisiana side.
At the very moment Mrs. Nelson's plantation
was reached by the whirlwind, plantation some
distance off was struck by another and distinct
tornado, doing great damage. The largest trees
were twisted from their roots lifted into the air
aud carried to Incredible distances as If they were
cornstalks.
Mrs Nelson has large family Of children and
grandchildren, numbering in oil eleven. When
struck by the approaching tornado, he called to all
the family to lesRe the house, but unfortunately
some Of the younger members were in the interior
Of the house, and Mrs. Nelson, ever watehful over
nor nelple6s u0cK, WenG ~ pursuit OF them, and
were found, after the storm had passed off buried
under the fallen timbers, within few feet of each
other. Mrs. Nelson lived only half IN hour Ths
two children were found under the bricks of fall
len chimney, and one Of them seriously injured.
Every member Of the family we're more or less in
jured.
A correspondent Of the Herald says:
The rails Of fence, for considerable distance,
were blown probably for miles, as they have not
been found on the plantstion. A gentleman who
witnessed it's passage &c through Island 81 says he
thor trunks, hundreds Of feet in the air The re-
sidence was apparently only touched by the outer
portion Of the column but one row of the quarters
and some other buildings were struck with full
force, and the earth for considerable space-over
two hundred feet-give evidence Of torrent Of
water having passed over it, removing everything,
and hurting through the air q heavy pair Of tim
ber wheels for the distance Of sixty yards. Bricks
have been found hundreds of yards from the
dwelling. wagon witha pair Of mules attach
ed, was carried in an opposite direction to the
course OF the wind, some ninety feet, overturned
and smashed, and the mules lying partially un-
der the wagon. T could name many Incredible
things that must be seen to be believed. =

NORTH OAno1NA CoslrERRSoE, --MesarH. Eranson
Farrar, publishers, in Raleigh, have laid on our
table neat pamphlet copy Of the Journal of last
North Carolina Annual, doniessnne.+ Residos= tlao
regular proceedings Of the Conference, it has q
good deal Of valuable matter in the appendix.
In the bounds Of the Conference there are sc, 1862
white members and sofa colored, making an in
crease Of 1857 white members, and decrease Of
2013 colored members The decrease Of colored
members is owing to the large number who have
joined the African M. E. Church. There are also
ITS local preachers, and 10,3S6 Sunday School
scholars.
Some Of our cotemporaries have published the
above as the number Of Methodsts in the State.
This is an error, Besides the North Carolina Con-
ference In this State, the Virginia, Holston and
South Carolina Conferences occupy portions Of it.
Hence, before the war, there were about 10000
Methodist communicates in the entire State, and
about 500 local preachers. Perhaps at the present
time, owing to deaths during the war; and the
number Of colored members who have left the M,
E. Church, South, and joined the African NJ. E.
Church, there are at present not more than $4,000
communicates in the NJ. E. Church, South, in this
State.-CharIoHe Times. -. ..'.

ATTEMPTED RAPE@THE MIsoREANT KILLED
We learn by passengers by the river boats on yes
terday, that on Sunday afternoon last, q negro
named Archibald Beebe, attempted to commit q
rape upon the peraon Of young lady Of Fayette-
vile, while returning from church that afternoon
The lady resided outside the limits of the town,
and when about half mile nom the suburbs, was
attacked by this 2vilsinons negro, whU violently
assaulted her, and dragged her to the roadside,
choking her so severely as to cause her neck to be-
considerably swollen, but before he succeeded in
choking her efectua1y, the lady screamed three
times Her cries attracted the attention Of an old
negro woman near by, who came upon them, and
caused the misereant to abandon his prey before
he had accomplished his fendish purpose.
The lady reported this TACT to her friends and
relatives, and the would-be rayisher was sppre-
hended that night and afterwards identified by the
lady. The negro was confined in the guard house,
and was brought forth on Monday afternoon for
trial. - 80.
After the case had been Investigated by magis-
trate and the negro was being returned to prison,
in charge of the sheriff and his officers he was de-
manded by o party Of the ladies' friends. The
sheriff refused to comply with their demand, and
general melee ensued. Pisto.s and knives were
drawn, and shot was fired by one of the party,
which, taking effect in the negros head, produc-
ed almost instantaneous death. In the confusion
it was impossible to ascertain who fired the fatal
shot. lr It-. =!
The utmost excitement prevails in Fayetteville
in consequence Of thus event, which is impossible
to describe. The negro Was notoriously bad
character, and his end, q though sudden and un-
lawful, WAS justly merited.- Wilmington Jo,und.
