A lady on secession.

"A Daughter of Georgia" addresses the ladies of Savannah, through the columns of the News, of that city. She says:

‘ "Which one of us would not urge a brother on in the good cause; which mother would not herself put the Minute rifle in the hand of the tardy son, and bid him go for his country; which wife would not stay alone and unprotected rather than her husband should not be at his post — and that the bloody battle field

‘"And now I lay a plan before you which will be for you to think of. Suppose the young ladies of Savannah, and of every other city in Georgia, were to form societies in which they must pledge themselves to give all in their power to the buying of arms.--That they are to buy nothing that comes from any one of the Northern States. That if war should come, they will attend to the wounded and all other duties that may fall to woman in times of trouble, and that they will wear a badge of some kind as long as there is any danger."’
