Mr. Co:t*s ic!ter. t{ic Southern christian Advocate of last wecl Any mistake as to your design in refering ' the u-age of churches where the con'crcru meets, originated with me. The fol'owii statement a little more in detail than you will show how. I stopped a few niorr.cn's at your store doc where yourself and the Rev. Mr. Retts vei at the time standing. The approachir meeting in Conference became a topic i conversation, and something being said The number of persons who would proba > attend, especially on the sabbath, I remarkt tliat I suppose(i all the churches in tow would hardly he sufficient to acccmmoda them. A pause then ensued and I pass< on down street. You steppe 1 after tno, at coming up, said, in the lone and manner of a pi va'c communication, tint it was a Nai non, v< believed a un vcr-al practice to offer ih- d fercnt churches f?;r the use of Conference places where it met, and that you mention it to me as "an offic:al mrmb ;r" of our cougr gation, because you supposed that I was pre ably not aware of it. I replied that as lomysr I would cheerfully offer our church to Confe cnco during its session among us, but ' You here interrupted the sentence by sayi you knew that I could not act in the busint myself without consulting l<e other oftc members. I continued : r always lea with our Pastor t!i? disposal oiour church preaching, and Mr. Colt is now outoftown. As scon as lie rclurns I will mention t subject to hiin'h You repealed as yc roason for inonlinnmcr the matter to me tl you thought I was probably not aware of t common usage in such cases, and yoa .'eft n This I considered an application nor c'id I s any thing wrong in it. On the contrary, deemed it natural, and proper and comment ble in you to wish and endeavor to have t Confer nee and the people who might atto its meeting, a3 weh accommodated in Clu r; as in other places. When I saw Mr. Coil I said to mm ti vou had applied for the use of our church ti ring the meeting of Conference. After so conversation, he concluded to reply in writ lest his reasons might be misunderstood But feeling that in the circumstances, ccm civility required of myself also to give ) gome answer, I said, when I met you, t Mr. Coit would make you a comrauuicatior writing; and after he had done so, I s informed you why the session of the chu had not been assembled to consider the s ject. After Mr. Coit had written hip letter, before it was delivered, I informed him of manner and 'nrc,jmstan'*<,k? in which von ' mentioned the subject to me. Rut he did not J deem that sufiicient reason for taking the | trouble to transcribe the letter to substitute j r j other phraseology for the word apply, nor r j did I deem it necessary to ask him to do so. i Please to let me know whether or not the , j, j above statement of what passed betvveon us . { on this subject corresponds with your rccoJ- ! ; lection of it. I do not mean by tliis to ex- , 1 pros-; any doubt of its correctness, but a wish I to know if you rememher it. i Rcsocctfuilv vonrs, 3 ! ' * M.

I will give you J ' my recollection of the conversation winch is as 1 j follows, viz. Jnconve-sation with you at my : store doer on the number of persons that would ] , hkcly attend the conferenc *, it was remarked, j, ' 1 think, fcv you, that there would bo enough i' ' part cularly on the Sabbath, to fill all the churches in the place, and the question was j [ asked, I think by you, how would they all be ! i accommodated. 1 remarked that it was the ' ( > universal custom, I believed, for the brethren i of the Presbyterian and Baptist churches to ; . j offer their churches, to our ministers to preach J . ' in during conference. I think about this | % ; Btage of the conversation, you passed on and j ^ ; I also went to Messrs. A. Burnett & Co.'s 1 j store a short distance from mine, and when I ; near their s'orc, I think I remarked that it j( . j was probable that Mr. Coit did not know the j I - i usage in such cases and that it might be well , , i for you. as one of the official members of your church, to apprise him of it. You then remark- '' cd liiat you would be very willing to otfer us : I j your church hut that you* left such things to " ! the Pastor of the church whose privilege it II was. 1 remarked that I knew it was his 1 privilege, when you said Mr. Coit was out of! ? - - 1 ? i , ' town and as soon as n? reiurncu yuu wumu a I nnmc it to him. I stated in the conversation i that the reason I named it at ali was that I j thought Mr. Coit might not be aware of the 11 usage in similar cases. You did not inidor' slaud me correctly when you say that I named : ? | :t because 1 thought you did not know the ! ) ! usage, as all my conversation w:.s intended to ' J apply to Mr. Coit and not to you, in that, parti- j cuiar; audi merely mentioned it to you, as j , an official member, to inform Mr. Coit of the j i usage ii ho was not apprised of it. And you i e \ also greatly misunderstood mo if you thoughtj ' that I was applying for your church, for I was not authorised to do so, r.or has it ever been j * j lb"' custom for us to apply, for the churches J s ! have always been offered when cur in nisters } ') have occupied them. And I here assure you L i that by what I said on that occasion it was not 1 ^ i intended that Mr. Coit should be appli d to v. j for Ins cburet), but that lie should only be appri j _ I sod of the custom, and that the saino friendly j s r feelings that had heretofore existed between | a j the two churches might be continued. Uut had I have known the strong sectarian 1 l! ; feelingsof your pastor I assure you that I wouli 1 oi have said nothing on the subject at all; nor would I for any consideration be willing that ' I our Ministers should occupy for a moment II ! your pulpit knowing the hostility of your 1 "'pn,:or to tin doctrines of our church.? 1 ~ . It may he proper for me here to state tiiat the \ ' 1 reason 1 Svht ins letter for publication was not r" 1 toenge d'T strife but that our preachers gen- : .j orally might know the resolutions of your Synod lt a copy of which was in Mr. Coit's letter togelh!, ' er with his vie ws of the same, which if correct i will entirely, m future, |;rec!ude any of our. ministers under any circumstances from r: preaching in your churches. . 1 Your ob't. scrv't, I).

Ijad for many years been the route of i on which was transported the great mail lor ly New (Orleans and the wliole Southern coun n ' tryto From 1331 to 1634 inclusive, the cost of ?d transporting the great mail on this route was as follows : nju From Raleigh toFayettcville, 879 per mile, pj From Fayctlevilie to Cheraw. 74 7J} (c u ib. ; From Cheraw to Co.umbia, 80 30 44 " ' From 1P35 to 1638 inclusive the cost of this k service was as follows. nrr From Raleigh to Favette;S^: ville, ?93 per mileial; From Favetteville to Cliov? raw, ' 80 18 44 44 _ From Ciieraw to Columbia, 62 93 14 <; i In the advertisement of last year, proposals >ur , were invited Lr a rapid daily mail along this ,at i line in carriages made for the purpose, with ! only three outside passengers, designed to su.p0 ' percede the Express mail. The proposals reI ; ceived for this service were as follows. Fa- Ftom Raleigh to Favettc'1(J : ville G miles an hour, S350 per mile "w ; From Fayettc-ville to Cheraw 7 miles an hour, 291 11 44 ' "j3t ; From Cheraw to Columbia, |||"; 6 miles and a half an hour, 293 43 " " i,1(r | These prices b<*ing inucf? higher than the .? j existing prices of the ordinary and E.vprest ni? J mailg combined?put that kind of service oui | of the question. Indeed it is believed to be i in ' ^practicable at the speed proposed in the pretjs0 j sent state of the roads, at least for a portion o rch | the year. ub- f The lowest bids received k r the ordinary j mail at the speed of 5 miles an hour, not with j j standing the service was twice advertised ;ad | were as From Raleigh to Fayettevdle, ? 125 per mile. From Fayettcvillc to Chcraw, 145 44 " From Cheraw to Columbia, 133 41 44 This was an advance of more than GO per cent on the former cost of this service, for which the Department could perceive no sufficient reason, inasmuch as it was not doubted that a Post Coach Line would he maintained upon this route, even if there should be no mail upon it. But whatever in:ght have been tho cause3 t?'}iU*li ltt*1 tr\ tliij ntinfinoni n/Itr inon iinnn (t\r. ?? Wil/II IV. V. lu UIIO lliUIIIIUUJ UUtUIIV^ 14 put 4 IUI iner prices, the very fact of the advance made it the duty of the Department to cast about for foine more favorable arrangement. One .vas ?oon affected with the Raleigh and Wilmington Rail Road Company at the rate of 8120 per mile, with a speed which would justify tiie discontinuance of the Express mail as far as Charleston S. C , and, a subsequent agreement with the Charleston anJ Hamburg Rail Road Company at ?200 per mile, has led to a withdrawal of the Express inail as far South as Augusta Ga. It was with great reluctance that the Department abandoned the Metropolitan line, as the route of the great mail; but that result could not be avoided under the circumttancesi without a palpable dereliction of public duty. A service was offered on the Wilmington line equivolent to the conveyance of the great and Express mail both at a price less per mile thaa was asked 0:1 the upper line for carrying the great mail only with but little more than half the speed, and less than the Express mail alone actually cost. If however, the price asked on the upper line had not been at a heavy advance on the former cost tlve ar. rangement with the Wilmington Company would not have been sought ard the mail? rou.d have been carried as heretofore. By the withdrawal of tlie great mail, the importance of the Metropolitan line as a mail iinc, was great y diminished. The mail matter to be conveyed upon if, will hereafter be that on y which is destined for and originates in the Post Offices upon it and upon parts of the diverging routes, and when the new arrangement is perfected, will probably not exceed onetcnMi of that which passed along it under the farmer contract. It is the dity of the Department in deter, mining what shall hereafter be paid for the service on this line, to consider its diminished importance. The mode in which the unai's shall be convey, ed, whether on horseback, in Sulkies, Stages or Post Coaches, is left by law to the discretion of :hc Postmaster General. The frequency of the conveyance is also left 'o his discretion. But in re crence to these considerations, affecting the Kt ting of any route, he is expressly required by law, to have " due regard to the productiveness thereof, and, other circumstances." It is with due regard to its productiveness" therefore, that this line must now be let. The first thing to be considered is its "productive, ness," and the next whether there are any cecums'ances which require, or will justify giving more for service upon it than it produces to the department. The service to be put on the line should be the most frequent and the Lest which can be had for such compensation as the "produetivencs" of the route and "other circumstances" will authorise or justify. A careful examination lias beenjnaue intc the "productiveness" of this line, and the whole amount of revenue produced l>y the P09; Offices and justly applicable to tho iransportation of the mail upon it, docs not excecti StlO.oOO per annum. The length of the line : does not vary much from 226 miles, which al 860 per mile, would cost 812,330, This h 25 per cent beyond the revenue produced upor ' the route applicable to the service upcfi it ; including one fourth that produced by Raleigh ' and one half of that produced by Columbia This apportionment of the revenue is the mosi j favorable to the route which could with an) propriety be made. i In it6 reduced importance, however, thu ' rcute is still not exclusively for the supply 0 tlie offices upon it. but is useful and noce^san as a connecting routo at various points, an< also passes through several places of consider able commercial importance. These "circurn J stances" would seem to justify the paymeni of more than it produces, for the transportatioi I of the mail upon ;t. Relieving, on the whole, that 860 per mil was a liberal allowance for the service on tlii route, having due regard to the "productive noss" thereof, and "other circumstances" th i Department authorised the Postmasters o; the line to engage the highest grauc of dail( service they could for that price. They sooi reported an arrangement along the whole lin to convey the mail in stages daily for lha ; price. i Only thojonte from Fayeiteville to Chcrav however, has been stocked under that airnuge rnenr.'he contractors on the other two havinj failed to appear for causes unknown to th j Department. i Indeed by the desire of the people upon th line and the pledges of of one of tire contractor that he will not run in opposition to any ne\ ; line of Post Coaches, the Department ha again advertised for, that kind of service. ; will give to the proprietors of an/ Post Coac ! line the utmost amount which it can consis ; entiy with a conscientious discharge of put ? lie duty apply to the mail service on that rout 11 To establish or maintain linos oi Post Coache l with the public money where they are u< ? needed to convey the mads, is not rompatib . with the constitutional object or within tf f, legal authority of the Department, The objei i of taxing the people with postage is not f | maintain Post Coach lines (or the conveyam I and comfort of traveller^ but to provide for t! '?! conveyance of the mails. But it is the pra tim <-?? tVj*? Department to giv^ tb? highC mail pay which may properly be assigned tc any Post road for Pest Coach service upon if, j j thereby incidentally aiding in the establishmcnt; J and maintenance of travelling lines. That j i much the Department 'is ready to do on ! this line. But, if the people upon the line j A 4 il. ? r\ . 4 4/\ il/> mrtl?A I r i CAjivtl UIU LtCpiXl llllClli. lu uu uiuic , 1- | they expcc: it to maintain Post Coaches on ( the line, cost what it may, when they are not i , needed for the conveyance of the mail, they j expect it to transcend its legal au hority and i i to furnish carriages for the accommodation Of i travellers, not at their own expense, but by a ' : tax on the people. ' ( ; They have a right to ask, that whatever the i ; Department is justified in giving for the con !' \ vtyanceof the mail, shall be given towards sus. i taining a line of Post Coaches ; and that the j Department is now, and ever has been, willing j to grant. But it may well be left to their own ;, j sober reflection to say whether the Depart. J i mcnt ought to maiDtain a Post Coach lino j1 not for the mail, hut for th* accommdation cjr i traveller*, if half the means to support it mustj i i be drawn from other sections of the country, j j Would they think it right, that half the . postages they pay. should bo applied to keep j up lines of Po3t Coaches in Massachusetts or j Louisiana, not for the conveyance of the mails, j but, for the people of those States to ride in? ( | But there is-no danger of the withdrawal of j | Post Coaches from this line, unless it be for a i short time. The proprietors of the line now , j running from Raleigh to PAyettevilfe have ' ( directly informed the Department that they ! < shall continue to run that line mail or no mail- \ ' They have even declined pledging themselves j j that they will not run in opposition to a mail j I ! line in Post Coaches on the same roads. The j Department has also been informed upon! | ; undoubted authority, that the line will be con- 1 ; tinued to Columbia in Post Coaches. The ^ people will not, therefore, be deprived long, if, j 1 at all, of a Coach line. And, cannot this line ] i which will be run, mail or no mail, afford to i ! cany a small mail cheaper than a largo one !, " r,o.r if lint rim ' I II II can run Wllll'JUl III-111 yaj, .V ,.v, . i more profitably with it? If it can run with J < ! no ma-l pay at all, can it not run more profiia- i bly with a reasonable mail pay 1 I f it could j | carry half a ton of mail at 83*2 per mile, can it , nol carry a hundred pounds at 860 ? The j Department is willing to give this line the ! i highest mail pay which can properly be applied 1 to the route ; but it has little expectation of ! being able to establish a Post Coach I no in , I opposition to it. It is hoped that the matte' may be adjusted satisfactorily to the people on | the line, when the proposals under th? new ; ^ advertisement are acted on. At any rate, the ; j Department has no desire, andean have none, j to deprive them of any convenience they have i enjoyed; and is now, as it always will bc? j ready to apply the mail pay in aid of a travel- I ling line of Post Coaches, by whomsoever con1 ducted. It objects only to the ineroaco of that pay beyond what can he properly applied to i transportation of the mail on that, route. This statement is made by authority of: the Department, which holds itself bound in | ; every proper manner to administer to the con.! vcnience and comfort of the people, and is ever j ; anxious when it cannot do all they desire, to satisfy there that it is not from indifference to ! their interests or to their good opinions. 26th February, 1339. ; a i -r.i ?.wi pv i ail a^uuuijl vi liiu luuuiu ?w*v? > ; pcnditures of the Town of Citers w fur tlio year ! : ending the 4th March, 1339. : | 1S33, | Marc!), To c ish ree'd. fur I | 25 00 ; 1 Deer.
