[From the Philadelphia Sunday Ledger. ] Who ig the True Lady* XX INTERBSTIXG A.XD IXSTRUOUVE STORY. We onoe knew a “young lady” who lived in fine style. Her parlors were elegantly fur nished, and her dress was always of the la test fashion. She had her piano and her teacher, and she played Italian music charm ingly. In all the exquisite graces of life she was faultless. She had a rich vein of senti* • ment, too, and could talk philosophy, or dis cuss standard authors, at pleasure* Os course w she reads novels—in fact, a large portion of the day was devoted to that interesting and instructive class of polite literature. She was also somewhat industrious, for she would fc- easiou&Uy work elegant embroidery. With an abundance of curls, that floated over her neck in beautiful profusion, a fine form, hands white and delicate, large powers of conversation in the usual drawing-room style, she was follow ed by young men of taste. Yet, somehow, she never married. The “beaux” flattered around her like flies over a pot of honey, but they were careful not to get caught as those other insects are apt to do. Their attentions H, were never so particular as to require “some friend of the family” to demand what were thb.ir intentions. This was no fault of the young* lady. She was within the market as plainly as though she had inscribed on her torehead, ‘*A Husband Wanted; for particulars inquire within/* But the husband never, to our knowledge, came; and we believe that at this day she is a disconsolate old maid. What was the trouble? Step with us into the kitchen. That fat woman, witfi a red taes, is the servant of the house. She dots the oookmg, the washing, the chamber work. From early dawn until late at night, she is a slave. Well that woman is our chatting young lady’s mother! She never sees .her “callers.” If by accident she should gyip into che parlor while visitors were pre- ®he would hasten out again, with em f burrasa.ed manner, looking as though she had committed aa offence, wile her own child’s 1 face would bt>' suffused with blushes. Now, takes waik with us. In that work shop, do you see that .hard-working mechanic? The wrinkle* are upon his face, and the gray hairs are thinly spxiftkied over his head. He looks anxious, and as though at his heart-strings tugged some deep sorrow and mortification. He is the father of our beauti —— ful “young lady," and his hard earnings for many years have been absorbed in the expen sive luxuries that her admirable taste has craved. He, too, is excluded from the society of his own daughter. She moves in a circle above her parents, and, in short, is ashamed of them . They live in the kitchen, she is in the parlor. They drudge—-she reaps the fruit. She has no pul sation of gratitude for all this; she despises them, and, in fashionable gatherings, is among the first to curl her pretty lips at “low me chanics"—provided she can do it safely. Is she a true lady? No—ten thousand times No! We object not to her accomplishments— to her taste in dress—to her manners. We look upon and admire such, just as we do a superb statue of Venus. As a work of art it is beau tiful; but, nevertheless, it is insensate marble, having no soul, being of no use in practical life, and food for nothing but to look at. The beauty of the mind is the true beauty; and the affectionate daughter, who nestles herself lovingly into the hearts of her parents —who makes her mother companion and con fidante —who not only works with that mother, but takes the heaviest burden upon herself— is the true lady. She may never have struck a note on the piano, yet her house is melo dious with harmony such as angels sing. *Her exterior may be humble, but her interior life is clothed in the ves! meats of immortal beau ty- There are many “young ladies" whose whole character is on the surface. Dress, manners, accomplishments, all are external. They are “outsiders.” When the scorching fires of ad versity burn beneath its surface, there is no protecting wall upreared within. The whole becomes but a heap of ashes, though it may contain the outward semblance of humanity. The true lady cultivates the higher nature. She is religious, but not fanatical—courteous, but not fawning. Reposing serenely upon the arm of her Heavenly Father, and associating with unseen angelic spirits, she meets the storm with calmness, and accepts it as a dis ciplinary mercy. Her sympathy ever pul sates to the cry of suffering, and her hand is ever open to relieve. She is beautiful at home, beautiful at the bedside of the sick, beautiful at the hour of her departure into the world of spirits, beautiful through life, and transcen dently and externally beautiful in Heaven. This is the true lady. (From the Chattanooga Qazetts, 1 6th inst .) Incidents of Travel under Ground* A few days ago three of our worthy citizens paid a visit to the Cave, now attracting much attention, under Lookout mountain. With the usual amount of pine, some matches, and bread and cheese, they worked their way along the main passage, until they fouud an aperture in some rock which let them down into a low er chamber. This they traversed for hours when hunger and fatigue admonished them that it was time to return. But how short sighted is man— esp dally whea several miles wider ground\— To the consternation of the trio, the fearful truth groped its way to their senses that they were lost ! They were then beyond all land-marks! No stranger had left his mark upon the wall, and with pine fast diminishing, fears came upon them of being buried alive beneath the towering rocks of the Lookout. All jokes were laid aside, and the company with measured countenances, gave vent to some very funny promises if they could just get out of these difficulties. Hope was dying within them, when a streak of good luck befelthem, almost as welcome as a gleam of daylight. Away in that far recess, where no traces of men were seen, they found two bottles, one filled with water the other with brandy! They were old-fashioned Porter bot tles, and the cork iu the one containing bran dy was half rotted out. The brandy had the taste of great age. Alter taking a “horn,” the party moved forward in better spirits. Shortly after, they found the skeleton of a man, which they gathered up as a trophy and carried along. Finally, after many vicissitudes, “wea ry and heavy laden” they found out their “bearings” and soon emerged into moon-light, after having travelled teu and a half hours. Although the party suffered much that visit, yet it had its interest. New regions in this subterranean cavern were discovered, and no velties and grandeurs seen, seldom looked upon before. Parties are now almost daily exploding this interesting cave, and it is destined to be a great resort. It is about three miles from Chattanooga, fifty yards from the Tennessee river, and immediately on the line of the Nash ville k Chattanooga Rail Road. A Union Maintained by Force. The federal press is gioating with perfectly fiendish delight, over the prospect of an op portunity of bringing the naval and military power of the General Government to the pun ishment and subjugation of Soutn Carolina. What a shout of triumph will ring through the federal camp-how all the hosts of Abo lition, with their Sewards, aad Greeleys, and Garrisons, will hold a jubilee of rejoicing—in case South Carolina, in attempting to extricate herself from the meshes of emancipation which are weaving around her, shall be drenched with blood, crushed in spirit, humbled into the dust, and failing in men and means, be brought unconditionally to submit to her Northern oppressors ! We quote as follows from the most influ ential of the New York papers ; <• We are glad that this [Charleston] Con vention is held, becaiise it must make an end of the whole wearisome stupidity of disunion. Either the Chivalry will do nothing more than talk, and straightway collapse into insignificance, cr else they will at empt re belion, and straightway experience the strong arm of the National Government. Our own opinion is decidedly that they will stick to gasconade and esohavy action. But in either casa, good will result from their Convention. “ It is time that two things were generally understood, namely; first that South Caro lina dees not govern the entire country ; aad second, that this Union is something more than a legal fiction which a breath cm make and unmake. The latter fact, especially, seems to need a definite demonstration, God forbid that it should be established through anything like riot on a scale large enough to be called rebeliou ! Nor do we fear any such necessity, though should, it arise, it will bring bene At enough with it to diminish if not to coun terbalance its evils” But it seems that the advocates of force are not confined to the ranks of the abolitionists of the North. Mr. Cobb and his leading or gan, toe Athens Banner, seems to have quite as keen a relish for the carnage, in the wish that bouth Carolina may be reduped to sub mission, as any of the Federal myrmidons of the North. Our hope, with that of the Rich mond Enquirer, is that the General Govern ment; in case of bouth Carolina's secession will not rescjrt to an experiment which with so inevitably resuit tko final-doom of the Confederacy, as the attempt to coercs her. The Enquirer quotes as follows from a Wash ington letter: ♦‘No such (coercive) measures are in an ticipation by th© Executive. Mr. Webster signified in hi* Annapolis speech that he should oppose any such measure. South Carolina will bs let alone and it is even said th«.t the few' companies of U. S. troops sta tioned at the ierts ufili be withdrawn by order of the Execudve, when South Carolina shall secede” The Enquirer then ad^s— ♦?We trust that this writer may be correct, and that the Federal Government may have the wisdom and prudence to refrain from force and coercion—for it they are brought to bear, the Union will be broken up, amidst civil war. Far better allow South Carolina to secede quietly, though sullenly, and thereby endanger the good wishes of her Southern Sisters, than, by force, thrust in the fire brand of civil war, and shatter the confederacy ! The times are ou? of joint, and it requires the utmost prudence and foresight, North and South, to meet the coming storm.” The Enquirer was once high authority with Messrs. Cobb and Hoesy, it is now however, far from being sufficiently federal for their taste. — Saaannah Georgian. (From the Savnnnak Republican.) Translations of Extracts from Spanish Let ters, received in this city by the Isabel. Hayana, May 8, 1861. My Dear Sir:—l send you again, by private hands, another account of the state of affairs on the sland, and I assure you they are the truth, and nothing else. The valor of the Great Concha lies in his boots, and not in his heart. Papers here are compelled to publish just such accounts as they do,or be suppressed, and the editors run the risk of being garoted. Will the time never come for your embarca tion? Hourly, nay minutely/have we been anxiously wraiting to hear the joyful tidings of your being landed on the isle, or at least on your way. Do not believe for a moment the rumors that you will receive no aid here on the island. Many Spanish officers and soldiery independent of the Creoles, will join the Patriots as soon as they land ; and could, I, without endangering the lives of many of my friends here, I would give the names of some of the most influential and wealthy plan ters on the isle who have pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in the contest — such names as would make the Royal Mcyesty tremble . The day will come, and that too ere long, when Cuba will be free ! But still I fear for our friends here, for God knows if the least suspicion is thrown out, they will suffer, and that terribly. The officers under Concha are m a dreadful state, and one bold leader like Lopez now would cause the island to burst forth like a volcano. Every vessel that ar rives is supposed to contain a cargo of pirates, &c. Havana, May 8, 1851. “Montes de Oca, the unfortunate individual who was the victim of the barbarous govern ment of Spain, met his fate like a hero, and, though young, he said he was willing to die a martyr of his country for the independence of Cuba. “ Previons to his execution, the Captain General Concha gave him nine days to de nounce all the patriots on the Island, and promised him his liberty and a large sum of money—but he nobly replied that he would sooner die a thousand deaths than denounce his friends ; for, said he, Cuba will be free, and after generations will sbed a tear to the memory of one who fell in behalf of his coun try, and our friends in the United States will now know that Cuba has thousands who will perish by the garote rather than live in bon dage.” Secession* —The following paragraph it from the “musings” of a correspondent of the Southern Press: “When Franklin was before a committee of the British House of Commons, previous to th? commencement of the Revolution, and, stating the condition of the public mind in the colonies, alluded to the probability of a separation, in case their grievances were not speedily redressed, he was scornfully asked wt.ieh party was to decide when the period had arrived in which resistance or secession would be justifiable on the part of the colo nies. He answered with his usual brief sim plcity; “Those that feel, can best judge.” All the arguments or rather assertions ol Clay, Webster. Benton, and all the other ad vocates of passive obedcnce, and non-resis tance,cannot invalidate this self-evident max im. Those that feel can best judge of the measure of infliction, and the extent of the suffering,as well as the period when submission is no longer compatible with self -preservation. It is a wicked absurdity to say that those who inflict, ,not those who suffer, are to decide on the measure of suffering that will justify the victim, either in resisting or retiring out of the reach of the oppressor. All animal in stinct, all human reason, all human fee'ing, revolts against such a mischievous dogma of despotism; a dogma which has long Bince been repudiated by Locke, Sydney, Milton, Har rington, and by every writer of the law of nature and nations, worthy of being cited as authority before a free people. Why there is not a statesman or a newspaper in all Eng land, not even a bishop, that dares to main tain this doctrine in the face of the world. Yet, strange to say, here, even here, in what is called the freest country on earth, this doc trine of passive obedience and nonresistance, is openly proclaimed by the highest authori ties in the highest legislative body in the land, echoed by scores of newspapers that pretend to be advocates of human rights.—l confess that I am astonished at their hardihood in thus asserting a principle which if once re cognised, and acted upon, will assuredly re sult in the consolidation of the government, and the slavery of the people. These gentle men have shouldered a.very heavy burden, and must either sink under it, or the o onn try will sink under them.” An Arfecing Appbeal.—A learned coun sellor, in the middle of an affecting appeal in court on a slander suit, let fly the following flight of genius; “Slander, gentlemen, like a boar constaictor of gigantic size and immeasurable proportions, wraps the coil of its unwieldy bedy about its unfortunate victim,and heedless of the shrieks of agony that come from the inmest depths of its victim’s soul, loud and reverberating as the mighty tflur t der that roils iq the heavens, it finally breaks its unlucky neck upon the iron wheel of public opinion, forcing him to des peration, then to madness, and finally crush ing him in the hideous jaws of moral death.

Last's Toilst. —A few days sinoe a lady in St. Louis was engaged before her mirror in going through her toilet exercises, when the glass suddenly receded from r*her as the entire front wall of the building parted corppaqy with its neigh bors, and with a tremendous crash fell into the street. The lady, in utter astonishment at the suddenness of the motion, was left standing in dishabille, though, singularly enough, entirely uninjured. In consequence of the recent grading of the street, the earth beneath the wall had been partally removed, and its sudden giving way was the cause of the accident.

THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. Augusta, ©eargia. g| SUNDAY MORNING MAY 18- Georgia Watering Places.* The season is at hand for persons of means and leisure to make their plans for the sum mer, and the late warm weather is a forcible reminder of the delights of shady groves and babbling brooks, and the bracing air and heal ing waters of the fashionable summer resorts of our own State. We have in our columns, advertisements of several attractive places, most of which we have visited, and shall, from time to time, take pleasure in referring to. We commend, specially, the Indian Springs in Butts county, as affording, probably, the best medicinal waters in the Southern States. We are disposed to put them in the very first rank of efficiency for various diseases of the vital functions. We had oceasion, last sum mer, to test and to give testimony to their virtues. We cannot speak as highly of the comfort and elegance of the Hotels there, and the manner in which they were kept, as we can of the salubrity of the air and the waters. Considerable improvements, however, have been made since last summer. The Rowland Springs, it will be perceived, hav&gone into the hands of Lanier 8c Usher. Mr. Lanier is the same gentleman who super intended at Cotoosa Springs last summer with so much satisfaction to the crowds that visited that watering place. He there won hosts of friends, many of whom will bear him in mind, and make it a point to visit him at his new location. We have no doubt he will make Rowland Springs, for which nature has done ao much, a place combining comfort, luxu ry, and refined enjoyment. The Madison Springs have a long established reputation, and have been, for many years, the most fashionable resort in Georgia. They are now in the very competent hands of Messrs. Musgrove & Watkins, and we are sure their reputation will be more than sustained. Os these the Charleston Courier thus speaks : “ The Madison Springs are distant 26 miles from Athens, and 45 from Clarkesville, both places of great resort during the summer months —and connected with the Springs by Regular Stage and Hack Lines. The Hotel is a large and handsome edifice, capable of accommodating 200 or more inmates. Os the medicinal virtues of the waters, (which are strong chalybeate, and very beneficial in some cases,) we can speak from personal experi ence, as well as the concurring testimony of many others who participated with us, in the enjoyment of the various resources of exercise, health and recreation, which the establishment and neighborhood afford.” The Chalybeate Springs of Merriwether county, have been known to the travelling public but a very few seasons, but we hear that the Hotel there last summer, was kept in a style calculated to bring them into popu. lar favor. We have no space, now, to extend our no tice of Georgia watering places. They are each succeeding season establishing addition al claims to Southern patronage. Naw Post Offices.— The Post Master Gen eral has established the following new Pest Offices in this State : Sugar Hill, Hall county.. J. A. Thomas, P. M. Indian Creek, Jackson C0...1t. J. Park, P. M, Fancy Bluff, Glyrm Co.. .F. D. Scarlett, P. M. Ocklockney, Thomas Co., Win. McLeod, P. M. Gun Pond, Baker Co., W. B. Crawford, P. M. Everett's Spring, Floyd Co., T. Everett, P. M. Leo, Habersham Co C. Ferguson, P. M. Culbreath’s in Columbia, and Parks’Bridge in Green county, have been discontinued. Selma Rail-Road.— We learn from the Re porter that nearly the whole line of the Ala bama and Tennessee River Rail-Road, from the Coosa river to Gadsden, has been placed under contract. Mr. Foot, the Engineer, has just returned from the upper end of the line, and makes this gratifying report. The Messrs. Riddle, our readers will recollect, contracted some months ago for the grading from Selma to Montevallo. Hands are now at work on the road te within six miles of Montevallo. The work, says the Reporter, goes bravely on, and by the time the Legisla ture meets at its next session, the iron horse will come clattering and snorting into Selma from a point which nearly, if not quite, reach es the mineral region. Mr. Filmore Plagiarizing.— The New Orleans Delta says:—We regret to have to dash the proud exultation of Mr. Fillmore’s friends over his recent display of vigor in his Proclamation. His application of the term “plunderer” to the gallant spirits who sought to overthrow the Spanish despotism, is not an original idea. He got it from the Common wealth, the Abol.tion journal in Boston. But Mr. Fillmore omitted a denunciation of the gravest part of the turpitude of the Cuban, movement, —he failed to refer to the horrible* purpose, crimen inexpiaible, of seeking to ex tend the territory and power of the South. But this sentiment, if not ia the words* was quite perceptible in the spirit of Mr. Fill more’s manifesto. Here is the original, in the Commonwealth* “There are always scoundrels enough to undertake any villainy that promises them plunder, and these it has long been the cue of the South to employ in every way that promises the extension of slave territory,. No one is ass enough to believe that these Cuban expeditions have“ any o/her object, and it is therefore satisfactory to know that the combined fleets of the United States, En dand France and Spain will unite to mete out to these picaroons a terrible retribution." Now, further, to show how •ongenial minds will run in the same train, we find in 3 pr o . clamation issued by fiis Rxceilency Don Jose d? 1® Concha, -he following allusion, strongly similar to that of President Fillmore. “It has come to the knowledge of the Gov ernment, that preparations are being made for a new incursion of the pirates, similar to than wuioa took pi&ee at Cardenas last year Thev propose, without doubt, how as at that time to sack the defenceless towns and disturb the,order that reins in this beautiful part of the Spanish ‘ *'••*•'* Sli«ur Wright, Jose Concha, Millard Fill more— 4 worthy triumvirate! [COMMUNICATED.] Theatre"Concort Hall. Ou Friday evening the fine prize Tragedy of “ Mohammed," and the petite Comedy of “LolaMontes," were presented. The Tragedy was originally written for Mr. Forrest, and the author has thrown into the character of the “ Arabian Prophet,” an en ergy, a determination, a purpose, to which to render entire justice in the representation, calls for great ability and prudence —the form er, in order to display a proper conception of the subject—the latter, to avoid extravagance in the action of it. We have never seen any former representation ot this Tragedy, but we think Mr. Neafie, as “ Mohammed,” combined the two qualifications named, and rendered the most prominent parts with fidelity and effect. Like the majority of good Tragedians, he has his mannerisms, which, however, do not appear so prominent as to interfere with the main points of the character. Among these we tvould notice, in the combat scenes, his two frequent habit of imparting to his t;word arm, and his sword, a violent and pro tracted motion. It detracts from the scene. Miss Richardson, as “ Cadijah,” had not much to do, but the little was well done. Her distinct articulation, and well turned reading, prove her to be of eminence in her profession, and this is sustained by her tragic powers. The rest of the company sustained their parts passably well. The Tragedy requires a large stage, more accordant scenery and properties, and a larger company than our Theatre affords, in order to be thoroughly appreciated; but, as it was, the audience manifested much satisfaction, calling Mr. Neafie twice before the curtain to receive their plaudits. The American petite Comedy of “ Lola Montes," was well played, and kept the au dience in a good humor.
