GEOLOGY AND THE BIBLE. We last
week published an article from London
paper treating at some length on DR.. Buck.
lands forthcoming work on Geology. We
to day publish another article on the same
subject, bat taking different, and in our
estimation, more rational view OF this inter.
esting science. We are aware that with
some this is forbidden ground; and unless
we are mlsinformed, distinguished divine
IN this vicinity not long since published TO
the world as his deliberate conviction, that i,
unless the study Of chemistry and geology
was arrested, we should make the rising
generation infdcls and materialists. These
arc sentiments unworthy the man who ut.
tered them, and the age in which VIC live.
Such opposition to the progress Of know.
ledge is not only useless, but hurtful for,
though it may re,arj, it will not prevent
the march OF improve nent and by driving
scientific learning into even temporary OPP
position TO sacred truth, puts it to a task
not congenial with its lofty spirit. Open
wide the storehousc Of knowledge-Iet us
contcmpl ate the Creator through all his
wondt wotks-anl we have no fears
for the cause Of truth and religion for
who is able to retain in broad sunshine the
erroneous impressions of senses deceived
by obscurity and misled by Imagination,
unless he wilfully shuts his eyes lest he
should be undcceiyed

TEXAS AND Mexico. I'VE learn from
the New Orleans Bulletin that division
OF the Mexican army left the city of Mex
leo about the 18th ut. for the invasion of
Texas. A large number Of sappcrs, mi.
ners, pioneers, &c. it appears, were attach.
ed TO the division, and will 10 all probability
effect much, until coming in contact with
the forces Of Texas. 1t was feared that
some calamitous occurrences might ensue
in the city Of Mexico on the departure OIL
the troops alluded to, in consequence oil
some evaporation of feeling existing
against the American portion of residents
in the city. Nothing Of the kind, however
had tfanspired up to the latest dates.
From the New Orleans Advertiser we
learn that several expresses had arrived Al
Tampco, previous to the sailing Of the
schooner Lady Hope, announcing the ap
proach Of the Texan army to Ma,amoras
probably under the command of Genera
Rusk. IF this rumor be true, Malomoras
will probaly fall into the hands of the Tex
ans.
A few days, however will bring us some
thing conclusive in these matters.
