A SLAVE CARAV: The Gloomy Cavaleade Halted---An Old | Dealer Arrested. ie LAYING THE TELEGRAPH GHTED | \QBerba, Tropical Africa (Jan. 12), correspondence of London Times.) Onward we march through the desert and find (that we are near the spot wher@a few years ago a whole battalion of infantry perished through its colonel not following the guide’s advice and not halting at the proper watering places. The resait was the men found themselves tortured with the pangs of thirst, and without anything to drink in their water skins, The scene that tollowed was Tearful. The soldiers lett the ranks, disobeying the commands of their officers, and ran here and there over the desert, attracted by the mirage, which, giving the appearance of lakes and crystal atreams to the burot ground immediately before | the poor fellows, enticed them still further on to- | ward destruction, Only five or six eventually | escaped and arrived at their destination with the | colonel of the battalion. through whose obstinacy Wis fearful tragedy had occurred. He was tried | by court martial and sentenced to be banished to | the Blue Nile—a very light sentence, considering | the burdreds of lives sacrificed to nis folly. Our guide, who, as @ rule, Was not at all in- clined to make any long marches, here hurried us | on: for there were no wells, he sald, to be met | with for forty-elght honrs, and the water our camels carried was veing rapidly evaporated by the beat, He also proposed that we shoulda con- tinue our march throughout the night, so as to reach Berba the more quickly. fHE SETTING SUN SHINING ON A SLAVE CARAVAN, ‘The sun had long set when Mr. Marcopoli and Mr. Russell, who were riding some distance ahead of the party, beard the sounds of an approaching caravan. *Very strange ;" sata tne former, “What can it have leit Beroa late for?’ Arabs, asa rule, do not like like travelling by nignt when there is no moon.

Suddenly be exclaimed, *‘!hey are not pilgrims. Boys and itis dO not go to Mecca. It 1s @ slave caravan. iow, What is to be done? We are oiily ten hours Jrom Berba. Shall we hasten on and iniorm the Governor that, 10 spite of the astringent orders ven by the Ktedive and the endeavors of Colonel jordon in the interior, the slave traders are laugn- ing at his beara within twonty-five miles of Berba? (Or eball we return and TAKE THE SLAVE TRADERS OURSELVES 1”” The last-mentioned course cf action was thought to be the beat one;- and, hastily loading our re- | ‘Volvers, turned our jrded beasts and trotted back toward, the caravan. Alter some time wa came up with it, and Mr, Marcopoll, accosting tha Bhief merchant, told him that his statement about the boys and girls being. pilgrims was a ialse one, “Bk they Were slaves, aud thai in the name of His ghoess the Khedive he (Mr. Marcopoll) arrested Bim. “But bow cau I koow that you have auy sButhority to detain me f’? was the reply of the man Bddressed, woo now seomed thoroughly tright- ened. “How can we tell that you are officers of the covernment?” said a trader, riding up to the side of the leader of the caravan. “Ir they are oficers they must have soldiers with tiem,’ caiied outathird. “Where are your soldiers? I believe they are robvers,’’ shouted another. “Onur soldiers are close by," said Mr. Marcopoit. | (Fortunately it happened that there were two | With the main body of our party.) “Well,” said the chiel merchant. alter muttering something iu | fn undertone to one of hia subordinates, ‘un that | ease J will accompany you, anu if you really have poidiers, why, tae you can revurn for the re- Mmaiuder of our party.” ‘Will the rest of the slave dealers not escape with the slaves if we leave them?” I inquired, “No,’? said Mr. Marcopult; Qn, at ail events, We have the chief merchant as @ hostage.” | We goon fell in with our caravan, and desired the soldiers to ARREST THE MERCHANT. it appeared, however, that tuey were old ac- quaintances; jor, after saluting each other, they commenced consniting in a dialect not known even by our polygivt Italian irleud, “Go and bring the rest of this man’s caravan here,” was the order next given, “and take him with you, but do not let the jellow escape on any account; upon your heads be t."? However, in about ten minutes’ time the sol- dicrs came back and said that the merchant had escaped, favored by the Qarkness. “He bas bribea you fo iet him go,’ was our answer, and We all 0! us hastily dispersed over the desert in Search of the slave dealer and his party. But the gigot was Very dark, and alter avout an hour's sruitiess search we had to give up tue attempt. “Never mind,’ said Marcopoli, “the man will hever be aviv to efface the tracks of himselt und barty, ana an Arab guide can distinguish the Tints Of his own camel irom a hundred others.

The Governor, who received us very hospitabiy, sould at first hardly be induced to believe Mr. Marcopoli’s af_irmation that we nad passed a slave Caravan. “Quite impossible,” he said; ‘such a vhing could not happen within the limits of my authority.” “Buti, bas happened,” vociferated his informant, “aud they have agiready twenty. | tour hours’ stari.

Dean Stanley se, lected for his sermou the words of the second verse of the first chapter of Genesis—“The earth was without Jorm, and void; abd durkuess was upon the face of tne deep. And ihe spirit ol Gow moved upon the face of the waters.” ‘he sermon Was, 1 1act, @ discourse on tie religious uspect of geology. ‘the words ol the text, the Dean said, have a Sense wider than the mere literal |.

There were and are two moves of reconciliation which have each totally | and deservedly tallied, The one attempts to wrest the words of the Bible trom their real meauing | and torce them to speek science, and the otner science to meet the supposed requirements of the Bible. The “seventy” finaing that the hare’ was described as chewing tne ine language of attempts to uisily cud inserted the word “not;? and on the other | hand, the Jesaita, in eaiting Newton’s *Principia”, announced in tue preface that they were con- strained to treat the theory of gravitation as a tic- Utious hypothesis, else 1t Would conflict with the decrees or the popes against the motion of the earth. But there is another reconciliation -of a Digher kind, or, rather not a reconciliation, but Qn ‘acknowledgment of the aitinity and identity Which exist between the spirit of science and the apirit of the Biole, First, there is @ likeness of the general spirit of the truths of Science to the general spirit of the Bible truthé, and secondly re is & lkkeness in the Methoda, KOr instance @ geological truth which our illustrious student was the chief instrument in clearly setting forth and establisoing the doctrine, Wrougot out by careiui, cautious y in ail parts of the world, that the frame oi ttis earth was gradually brought into its present con- dition not by sudden and violent convuisious, put by the slow and silent action of the same causes which we see uow, but operating through a Jong succession of ages beyond the memory and imagi- Bation of mao, There ed be no question whether this doctrine agrees or not with the letier ofthe Bible. We do not expect it should. For, Dad there been no such scientific conclusions, we | Mow know periectly well, irom our iucreased in- sight into the nature and origin of the early Biblical records, that they were not and could uot be literal, prosaic, matter-of-iact descriptions of the beginning of the world, of wmeh, us of its end, no man knoweth or cau conceive except by figures or paraliel. It is now clear to all | Students of the Bible that the first and secoud Chapters of Genesis contain two narratives oi the creation side by side, digering trom each otuer io almost every particular of time and piace and order, Jt is now known that the vast epochs de- mnanded by scientific observation are incompatible Doth wit the 6,000 years of the Mosaic chrono.ogy aad the six days of the Moeaic Creation. No one now infers trom the Bible that the earth is tixed, | thatit cancot be moved, that the sun dves literally golorthas # bridegroom irom his chamber, or that the stars sung With un audible voice in’ the dawn of ie creation. But when we rise tu the spirii, tne ideal, the general drift aud purpose of the Bivlical accounts, we find ourselyes naa a wosphere of moral elevation whicn meets the highest requirements pillosophy can make.
