horses in the world. They are spirited, yet

in harness-and possessed of extraordinary
powers of endurance; and withal very beau

BELOVED BRETHBEs:-Tbe signs of tho times
clearly indicate that the time to favor Zion is come.
The blessings of our Heavenly Father are abund-
antly bestowed on the feeble labors of his witnoss-
es. The Pillar of Cloud is moving, and within
the last few months the energies Of the Holy Spir-
1t have graciously attended the labors of ministers
of the most humble pretcnsions. And we believe
that in the bounds of the Central Association one
hundred and fifty hopeful converts have been add
ed to our Churches by experience and baptism
Under those favorable circumstances and auspices
we should ut an early date organize q General AS
ISOLATION for the purpose of concentrating our en-
|eTgies in the advancement Of the Redeemers
Kingdom, purely on Gospel principles. And we,
therefore, earnestly, cordially and fraternally SO

y JuDGE BoIsE.-Last week, in the midst of
. very exciting trial, and when scores of wit.
nesses were in attendance, it was announced
that Judge Boise was so i'll as to be unable
to hold Court on that day. The next day,
however, he appeared in the Court room,
quite pale and Frustrated, and proceeded to
business when he really should have been in
bed. We take this occasion to say-and it
affords us unfeigned pleasure to be able to
do so-that We believe Judge Boise to be an
able, honest and ~incorruptible dispenser of
Justice clear.headed interpreter of the
laws, and one, therefore, who honors the po-
sition he so worthily fills. We respect and
admire any mar who, in these days of Off
cial corruption and decay of public virtue,
discharges his public duties as impartially
and Justly as does Judge Boise those devGlye I
on him as Judge Of the Third Judicial Dis
trict. We trust his life and health may be
long continued for to lose him now would
be = public calamity.

Senator FOWler.

We asserted, with confidence, few weeks ago,
that Senator Fowler would vote for the impsach-
ment Of the President. It turns out that We we're
mistaken and we feel called upon TO explain. We
held no correspondence with the Senator, but had
the following reasons for our belief
/. he was the chief of impeachers, and stated at
the February Convention in Nashville that the
President ought to be impeaehed and turned out Of
Office
2. He So worded his conversation nl.u Tie Ten
nessee Representatives 70 make them believe that
be would vote for conviction.
3, He knows that the party that elected him in
Tennessee sre unit in favor of impeachment.
4. &c declared in a speech before the National
Republican COMMITTEES, at Washington, that Sc il
Congress shall longer hesitate to impesch and de-
pose this 5ohnson, the blood of thousands of loya
SOutherners, murdered by bloody minded, implsca-
( bic rebels will rest upon our souls" &c.
And yet Mr.. Fowler's one most inexpicsble vote
saved the President from conviction
