DARWIN.
A Reply 20 Anii.Bigot.

AS was anticipated, the letter on
Darwin's theory brought forth an early
reply, which is published below, No
doubt numerous others will be planned
and some of them, perhaps, written

have been laughable, had it not been

tan ministry, he has made direct
and persona! thrust at Bishop Garrett,
In hls anxiety to discredlt tho Holy
Scriptures and those who uphold them,
he has neglected To point out the
truths enumerated in the scheme of his
pet scientist, though he has favored
us with u definition of Darwinisin,
which may be us clear AS crystal TO
his brilliant and comprehensive in
tellect, but is not clearer than mud be
our dulled and darkened understand
ings
Bishop Garrett Is learned theol,-
gian, an eloquent and logical speaker
and ripe scholar of large scientific
attainments. In his contest with the
unbehever, he will have no favor to
ask, nor will he rely solely upon the
Revelations of God, but will meet the
enemy upon bis own ground, and
smite him with his own shafts. He
will demonstrate Darwin to be an In
lidel in religion, and an imposter in
science.
Darwin may not claim the title of
prophet but the result of his lucubra-
tons differs from the utterances of the
prophet only In this, that the one de-
scribes events deepest w tho illimita-
bic future, while the other describes
events deeply buried in the mpenetra-
BILE past; the prophet, gifted with the
president eye of an Heavenly faith,
beholds the wonders that are to be,
while the philosopher, armed with the
pQst-scieht eye of human reason,
sweeps tho horizon to creations birth,
and unearths the secrets that u dead
past had wrapped in its own dead dust.
Darwin, having illumined the by
gone ages with feeble Pickering
rny from bis own weak and finite
mind, has composed u new book of
Genesis, in direct nntugonism to that
written by Moses at the command of
the Infinite; he has ATTEMPTED to
trample truth under foot, though that
truth has been attested by the lives
and deaths of millions OF men, and
by the words and miracles of an ON
nipotent God.
Like another false prophet of Kho-
rassan, he has shrouded himself in "A
glittering veil, which has dazzled the
weak of mind, and faint of heart.
But feel assured that the Preacher of
Righteousness, Armei IN The panoply
OF truth, viii snatch the deceptive
veil of sophistly aud iLfidelity from
his brow, and expose his true features,
like those OF Mokanna, to the indig-
nant gaze of II disguised people.

THE Fort Wayne (lndiana)
Sentinel speaks as follows about the
Texas editors who are cxcurting
through the North:
What the Texas editors enjoyed best
of all yesterday In their hour Of sight
seeing was the remarkable efficiency
OF the fire alarm. An alarm was turned
on ut the Jefferson school building and
in four minutes the engines were ON
the ground. There seemed some miracle
about 1t and the rangers rubbed their
eyes doubtingly, fearing they had been
made the victims Of put-up job.
IL Is but charitable to believe that
the Texas orator who, last night, edif-
ed his audience by an impassioned al
fusion to the agitation of the bloody
differentiation by the Radicals of his
State, was, to some extent, overcome
by the chicken salad of which he had
been partaking.
TO which the Austin Gazette
very appropriately adds:
We are inclined to the opinion that
the talent of the Texas press remained
at home, where they properly belong,
nending the sitting OF the Constitu.
tional Convention.
