Yankee Women. The Boston Courier makes the following humiliating confession A religious periodical speaks of the low grade of domestic morals, which seem to prevail to a large extent in our New England families, and of the, reluctance of parents. to make their children obey, the common rudeness and arrogance of fays and 'girls, (he.

great prevalence of untruth amongst the young, the license and familiarity of intercourse which is allowed tho growing youth of difleresit sexes, the murder of living but unburn children, and the number of illegitimate births. This is a terrible indictment against our New England morals, but any man of observation in our principle cities, and centres cf population will acknowledge the sincere and exact truth. Every middle aged roan most be struck at the contrast between the young of his youthful days and the young of tho present time. The streets are literally thronged with, young women in-sumptuous and even gorgeous attire, which is not their exceptional holiday raiment, but their doily, usual drew. Thc.8o young women have a beauty of face and person which is si exquisite as it is fleeting and evanescent.

Their whole appearance indicates that they are things of adornment and Juiunr merely 'and not for nte, or for the fulfillment of tbe functions of womanhood. Their girlhood will never pass into matronhood. They have not the physical stamina to undergo the transformation. A precious coolness and self-assuraneo characterizes then, as they do their you male compatriots, what is called cheek, a smartness; bnd a certain precocity of mind and body both of which always betokens a shortlived race, are the characteristics of tho younger generations of our malo and female The war filled New England with wealth, and she was rich before. Her msnufactuto of -textile fabrics was noraioly sti mala ted, so that elegance and laxury tT costume tMtnt' universal.

We live here ta almost as much of a Lot-bed civilisation as that of Paris, and it has been said a Paris-born male of tho third generation is no more robust than a woman. We are evidently becoming, in the persons of oar younger folk of both sexes, a people of hasty growth and blight. i Frightful Affair in Kentucky. On Monday, the 25th instant, Days-viile, Todd county, Kentucky, tiCCiuiJ the scene of a most shocking murder. Daysvillo is a small village, and is situated on the road leading from Rus- sellrillo to Elkton, and is surroundol by an enlightened and civil community.

About three o'clock in tbe evening, Mr. Rufus Morrow rode into the place, armed with a doubl barrel shot gun that he had borrowed on the day before, and on seeing Mr. William. Cheatham, who was sitting in the shade talking to Mr. David Morrow, brother of Rufus,) dismounted from 1 bis hone and deliberately fired at Cheatham.

At the report of the gnn Cheatham fell, and never spoke afterward. Morrow, after shooting him down, made ready with his other barrel, and walked np to him until he saw that he was dead. His horse had in this time wandered a little way frera the scene of action, and, with tbe thret of the contents of the other barrel, he ordered his brother David to bring him his horse. David, however, did not obey him, and ho went for his horse himself, mounted him and deliberately rode off. "Morrow enlisted in the Confederate service early in the wsr, deserted, and returned home, and professed to be a Union man.

He was married to a cry worthy young lady, but she left him on account of gambling, dissipation and general recklessness. Cheatham had formerly been a fiiend to Morrow, but had shunned him on-account of his bad habits. This is supposed to be the only provocation for the deed. If there wis'anytliag else between then it was mot generally known. The community are exnai ed at Morrow's atrocity.

The State government of Tennessee is at this time an anomaly. The Governor has abandoned tho capital, and is engaged in editing a local newspaper in Eist Tennessee, in the columns of which he is proclaiming war upon the people. Ihe affairs of the State, in the meantime, are going, to ruin. A debt, doubled in the last three years, is unprovided for.

The interest has not been paid and is over due. Hundreds of placemen Lave been appointed at fat salaries. -Not a child, black or white, has received a dime of the school fand. As fast as the taxes are paid into the treasury the mopcygoes into the pockets of the leeches that are sucking the life-blood of the people. Hundreds of thousands went last year to the payment of the militia to rob, annoy and pilfer a peaceful and unoffending people: The at the head of affairs, but really at the foot and dragging them with him to the lowest point of depression, has assembled the Legislature to further rex.

The Confederate leaders now in the State 5re not only not warlike, but using such influence as they possess to preserve the peace. General Ewoll, in Maury county, wi(h his wooden leg, a straw hat and coarse pantaloons, is tending to his sheep and looking to Lis granaries and fences, and his hay and dairy. The flashing eye that once gleamed in the front of battle, ii mild in domestic quietude and rural employments.

Cheatham, the Navarre, of Tennessee, is similarly 'employed in Coffee county. Forrest is in Memphis, engaged in insuring the perpetuation of life, in place of its destruction. Stewart, the man of courage and science, is teaching our children to be upright and useful. Bate, as amiable as he is strong, is in Brownlow's courts from day to oay, expounding tho law and appealing to juries for mercy in behalf of the unfortunate. Bushrod Johnson and S.

R. Anderson, are inviting immigration and enterprise, offering home! to the homeless, and laboring for the general welfare. These are the men that Brownlow fears men who are chiefly concerned to pay their taxes to support Brownlow's government, and whose public acts since the rclose of the war, have been to repress violence and cultivate peace. They are now for peace. Some'of them have visited Brownlow within tho put week in the interest of peace.

The rebels make no war and want none. For every convicted criminal in the State since the war closed there have been five negroes and white Radicals to one "rebel." This statement we make and challenge Brownlow to dis-pate it. The Governor's professed alarm is therefore a pretence. It is a mask as flagrant as any ascribed to the Ka Klux.

A Ifan Haunted to Death. A strange and surprising incident occurred last week ia the country a few miles north of Corinth. A Mr. Mangutn killed a young man during he war, and a few days since Mr. M.

was on a deer drive, and while at one of the stands ho saw an objeet approaching him which so alarmed him that ne raised his gun to fire at it.

From the JT Preslyteriaru A Singular and Startling, mation. Towards the close of Washington's administration, and Jeffer son were the' acknowledged leaders xf to nascent political parties, teleral it and Republican and subsequently known as Whig and Democrat. ty feeling at that time rati very high and so violent was the collision that at the cl S3 of the administration of thp.eldor Adams, tlie country was barely saved, at that early day, from dist option and, bloodshed.

Nmw it so happened that Jefferson, the great advocate of State sovereignty, the ffreat ovacle of modern Democricy was a friend and admirer of French Repulican philoophers, and hirasclf an infidel 8otnat his great popularity aided in spreading the French infidel ity which was so rife in the land for some years after the war of the Rev olution. Thus'it came to pass in the violent rtolitical excitement of those time's, it was often charged to be, a Jeffersonioi Tn irrr iiifidel in religion. Mne very natural result' of this state of things, due chiefly to party clamor, was, that the ministers ot religion uecamc anti-tJon-efsonion in politics, while they inveigh, el against the wide-spread infidelity of the times. They were "anti-French" in politics as in religion to be a Eed eralist was to be a conserative in both. Party cltmor at L-ngth was stilled, and.

the stigma of infidelity was for sotten. but the clergy still remained with the anti Jeffersonion party, ffhis furnished the only satisfactory answer to the question olten ui-kcd twenty years ago, or more, why the clergy were chiefly whigs, and so few of them voted with the Democratic party. The unimportance of the points then at issue between the two parties made he fact the -more remarkable, and c.eated the real difficulty of finding an answer. So far as the times then present was xoncerned, it was a fact of no political significance whatever. Unfortanately.

in the course of time the party died a natural death, and for a little time the clergy were left without a platform for their fet. New issues were joined, and that temnorarv organization, the A- meiican party, sprang into existence. The party had no realjritality at the Scath. the North it swept away both clergy and people (ever notional and fond of excitement,) in a wildd fierce seal for political- legislation a- gaiust foreigners, Roman Catholics, and liquor dealers. As no party could long stand on that platform, it sud denly collapsed and the -Republican party seizing the firebrands of Free- soinsm anu ADomionm, stoou ip i room feeling 6trong enongh on.

Lef us recapitulate. Af much heat or carbon is absorbed by a tree during its as it will give out when it ia burned, so as much bodily and nervous ifiergy will be given out by a man, i 2he carbon contain ed in the foodTifPca. bo eats will sup ply.

The mind acts on ihe body through brain, making the brain in the na tal ot a machine, whoso working involves waste, and the neifessity of repair or renewal, as oil to the wheels of vehicles of locomotion this renewal made from the food we eat the faster a physical machine runs, the faster will it wear out, and there is no hu-lp for it but the human machine had Divinity for its architect, and. it docs not follow that the faster or more vigorously it works, the more intense the. thoughts and sensations, the sooner will it decay but it only follows that the harder a man works or thinks, or tho more intense are his sensations, the more nourishment must be given the muscles which work, and to the brain, through which comes our that i-vhfi-JnoxQ carbon, must be supplied to the system and a was before noticed, that the greater the amount of carbon supplied, the larger wis the tree, the greater the animal, the more vigorous the action of the brain the mental. work, it therefore ollows that the human machine in creases its physical and mental capabilities by the very increase of its activities that the more a man works, the more and better he can work the more he thinks, the more and better he can think hence, the busiest men live the longest, whether it be physical or mental industry thus, Newton, and others of the greatest intellects ia physics, in theology, and in ethics, have lived to a good old age.

it is a beautiful thought, and too, that man expends hb carbon in two directions through the mu3cl'S, enabling him to work a great deal and through the brain enabling him to think a great deal if expended equally in these two directions, a man becomes a good worker and a good thinker but if he would become the best worker, the excess of carbon must be expended through the. muscles; if, on the other hand, he desires to excel in the world of thought, he must expend the greater share of his carbon through the brain. Bat another beautiful thought must not be omitted. A good digestion takes the carbon out of the food eaten and throws it iata the circulation, tho blood; but throwing coal into a furnace will not warm the bouse, the fire must be kindled the coal must burn, and its burning gives out heat this is called combustion the body is the fur naee, the carbon put into it by eating, is it coal or fuel, but it must be kindled, must be set en fire by having oxygen introduced we know that a fire will not burn unless the air can get to itahd supply it. with its oxygen so, also, will not the earbon in the blood kindle into warmth and heat, unless a plenty of good air is introduced into it, which is done by breathing it into tho lungs, where all the Mood goes, and.

so, being into contaot there, the oxygen of the air and the earbon of the blood join, and combus tion is too result, giving out heat, pre, warmth: and as the outdoor air is the purest, freshest, and nest, the more we, are out of doors, the mora oxygen we get, the more perfectly the carbon is burned, and the greater the amount of healthful heat is there in the system. We all know that the harder we work, the sooner we get tired and the more hungry we become; and students at school, And adomy, and college, know ve well that they grow weak by hard study and that their appetites become so imperative and exacting sometimes, late at niht, that remorseless contributions have been made neighbors' corn crbs, daires, orch a'rds, melon patches, and uq uoes not now ieei wias wo nave Hade "the correlation, of tho mental.

Carbon represents heat vegetation grows by absorbing carbon and the hotter the climate, the faster does veg etation grow. At the poles there is no carbon, and there is no vegetation. When' a tree is growing, it absorbs as much caibon as it will give out, when it is ctit down and burned if a pound of carbon, or.wood, is burned and applied to water, so as to make steim, that steam, if economized, will raise a man to the top of Mount Washington. Bat if a man wants to go to the top of Mount Washington, he can raise himself Hp there by the force of his will, acting on his feet but in order to do this, thebrain must act upon the muscles of the body, and to do that, carbon must be supplied to it this carbon ia obtained from the food.

Seventy years ago, the political followers of Jefferson were twitted as Anarchists, Red Republicans, Jacobins, infidels and in some cirelea ter was seriously by cooperating with the'earry. In our day Tt is the" modern Republican party which is essentially Anarchical, Jacobinical and infidel.

The fundamental principles of the political and social systems of the French iufHel philosophers, are becoming more and more thoroughly incorporated with the political creel and religious faith, and made more essential to a man's social and ecclesiastical standing, than redemption through the blood of Christ. Rev. Albert Barnes and others of that school, zealous adrocates and dispensers of this new light, (whose dawning; Voltaire sang less than 150 years ago.) while sceuting the doctrine of original sin, and making a mockery of reputed righteousness, while deny ing in express terms that the death of Jesus Christ satisfied the demands of the trokeii faw, or made any proper atonement for man's transgression, so that the blood of Christ, except that by a figure of speech,) does not cleanse from any sin have not scrupled, on the other hand, with equal audaeity to assert that the Almighty God could not accredit a revelation of his will to fallen man which sanctions slavery, contradicting thus those newly discovered principles of French philosophy, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" which are declared to be innate in every human breast.
