V.'o hare long believed that the wants of the public von not sufficiently uucvr.-tcod, and cared for, in the ! natter o! mail facilities. There are many sections of >ur State where the people are entirely destitute ot he ordinary means tor getting their papers and letters, v\.viid<vt.(uij cvMUiti^, an, uiavu ui | niie3 to the nearest Post Office, which is not only a | i'.ov.-. but uncertain means cf ever hearing from the j ' rest of mankind." The General Government has done wellin lowering ,he rates of postage. and no man with a soul in his aody can or ought to complain at the present tariff, ant tho government can, and ought to do better, in he matter of supplying the people with increased r.ail lieilities. A case in point, is that of the large section of conn ,ry between Bee Tree Post Office and Columbia, some 10 miles, in which not a single office exists. These pcoolo are shut off entirely, and have the alternative of io man hi a'i or tne rost UIHce at Camden or t'olum)i?i, which, to a largo number, would be from fifteen o twenty miles. It would be an easy matter to remedy this ovil. if he Post Master General would oonscnt to extend the j ireeent route from Camden via Bee Tree, tothetieigh- j joriiood, or to. Cloud's Store, near tlio dividing lino jotwecn Fail fit-Id and Kershaw. In that event a! urge number of the citizens of the two districts, 1 vould be accommodated, white* tiio public interests, ; n a variety of wave might be subserved, and that of! ho General Government suflir no detriment.

Correspondence of (ke Camden Journal. .Tli'lliodisl !Qi?!4iou<t*?Hou Sustained. no. ii. Mr. Eiiit.ir: In pursuance of n suggestion made in a former paper. I shall now attempt a concise explanation of the means by which our missions to the slaves of the South and Southwest are sustained. It will he obviutis to ail who are acquainted with the police indispensably necessary on the large plantations of the South where thousands of slaves arc brought in eh>e neighborhood, that while it i- humane if- must be firm as well sis sound. .And, in asniucli as the government differs under Separate managers, the unrest rain?d intermingling of the people, even for devo tional purposes has not, in many cases, been 1 J I..:..-I i ill : ... Ueei!h"u mniMiill', Mill, hi soiiic rit.ti', i?.? in three slave owners permit I h?*ir people to wortogether. In all cases however, or nearly all, these religions meeting* arc held either upon or near the plantation where the people belong. Hence tin* impracticability of collecting them at those places of worship where ihe whites ?of any denomination of christians?usually worship. Withal, some of the slave owners? being sleep tical, both with respect to the necessity and utility of giving '.he gospel to their slaves - made no piovis.uii f.?rjtl?:s end, and barelv gave per - - "i 1. 1. i.. mission 10 trie vmun-ji to |iie?<.o i<>iin-n Iii view of all those facts it was evident that lie slaves must either be left without tin- gospel, or, obtain it b\ sotne other than the oidmary means. It is not strange that the missionary jilun should have been fixed on as the most cvangcli eal. Fdr the Church of Christ is organi ed upon this plan. The apostles did not wait, itsit ally, for either Jew or Gentile to send for them ; but, in obtdietice to the Lord's command, they went forth in quest of the lost and straying, while every lute evangelist, in view of the wants of the world, is heard by lh?* master, saying " line nin I, send me." l>nt. as "the labourer is worthv of his hire"?and God has ordained ' i i it i*. * that tin*v " who preach tin* jiospci Mian live 01 the g">pi*l,M?and as those slaves wore unable to support, a ministery, ami their owners failed to do it, how was tho man of God to "live.', It is plain, others must support him, for Christ sake, while ho should proach to the needy. The work being important ? and constant!* increas ?systematic efforts, for the support of the ministry as missionaries become indispensable. Hence tin* organization of the Missionary Society. I shall not trace the history of this sys torn beyond the statement of a few general features. We have what is called,' the "Parent Society.'' This was formerly located in the city of New York. After the jurisdictional division of the Chuich. in 1844, the M. E Clnrch, Souiii, located its "Parent Society" in Louisville; hut, the last General Conference of said Church, having provided for the organization of i ? PnUiJiitiiF House" in Nashville, the "Parent I * p Society" was permanently located in that ci'y.; Th>' Hoard of Managers of ilii> Society hold tlicir \nnivi.rsary early in tho year, at which time it is determined how much shall bo expended l??r the Missions in each Conference, for the current year. This estimate is changed some-! times under the pressure of unforeseen necessities. Hut the amount usually stands unchanged. ? j Each Annual Conference appoints a committee,1 who, in conjunction with the Presiding Elders, ascertain the demand for tho Missionaries for the year then commencing, and t he committee do-: termine how much each one shall be allowed. The ?|ijiru]>piuiioii is made out of the funds of tho Conference Missionary Society, if they are equal to tlie demand, otherwise, the drafts are paid by tho 'Tareut Society." Where-the patrons of a Mission pay a sum equal to the amount the committee allow tho Missionaries who servo i them, then it is called self sustaining; but, when their contributions fail below this estimate, j ttie balanco due tho Missionaries is drawn from : the charity of the Church. It becomes a matter of general interest to know how the Society, collects its funds to meet the foregoing demand.1 Tlie Cliutch prov.dus for the wi?rk by tlie organization of a Missionary Society in each circuit and station. These Societies hold their rcspcc \ live Anniversaries under tho direction of the ' Quarterly* Conference of each charge, at which ! time an appeal is made to tho Church and her friends, and tho friends of the Missionary enter- j prise, for money. Besides this, application is i made for aid in a more private way to all the | fiiends of tho cause. These funds are reported to each Quarterly Conference, and the amount is recorded in the journal of that body. Again, the amount collected in each charge is reported to the Annual Conference and published in the i minutes of said Conference, while the amount, appropriated, and the manner of said appropria-; lion, are both reported to tbe Annual Confer | eiice, and published. From hence it may be ascertained how i.tr Mission funds arc collected? how they aro appropriated and bow our Missionaries are supported, it is hoped, aiid believed, that the 6lare own tot will eoon contribute a bum sufficient to sup port the Missionaries who serve their people, without any aid from the charities of the Church ?leaving that to he used in behalf of the poor and the heathen. With respect t<? the heathen of foreign lands I have nothing to say now, only, that the Church cares for them, and collects a considerable sunt to send Missionaries to them : but when the Missions to ?lie blacks brcotne self sustaining she \ will be able t<> do more?abundantly more for \ the perishing heathen. Surely the planters of the South will soon so arrange that their own people shall receive the gospel through theirown proper guardians?their owners?and God shall be glorified. 7UK SOCTII 8UOCLD BCSTAIN THESE MISSIONS.

By this arrangement the Episcopal jurisdiction \*general ? extending to every part of the work?and in this sense the Church is an unit. In consequence of this peculiar feature of her government, the church, on the one hand is amazingly efficient in doing good; on the other, peculiarly sensitive to any indiscretion in any department of Iter government. On this account, when,' in 1844. the Northern section cave iimni.-takenlilc signs of her ult'a abolition tendency, tlic Southern section felt it to be a p unmount duty to withdraw from such a connexion. Arrangements were made in the General Conference of 1844, by which the jurisdictional limits of the Church North should be confined (nearly) exclusively to the free States. And the Conferences formed wit bin the limits of those States which admit slavery, were formed into a Southern connexion. The Church South acted from settled principle in this matter, she felt it to he an indispensable duty to leave all legislation on the subject of slavery to our State Legislatures,?and to pro vide for the moral?spiritual wants of the slave 1 . _ .. .1.

It is reported that the siege of Sebasto|>ol wa* to bo raised. The allies were concentrating forces b?

The Russians were firing sln-lls into the City from the North'ide. Foil- hundred Russian deserters, mostly Poles had arived at the Allied camps and reported that after the taking of Sebastopol the demoli tion of the Russians was complete, and that such was the confusion after the evacuation of the south side that the soldiers, exhausted by fatigue, lay 24 hours without food. The Russian loss was estimated at 18,"00. A report from Berlin says that Prince Gortschakojl would shortly evacuate the north Forts, but. that the Russians were making ex tensive arrangements for the winter campaign.
