The Precedent of the United States, accom-
panied by several members OF his family arrv-
I'd at this agreeable watering place on Tuesday
last in the cars from Washington. He appears
to be in good health aud spirits, but am sorry
to learn that the health of one of his daughters
is extremely delicate. A large number OF his
| friends, from both Winchester and the country
around, have called upon him TO pay 'her re-
specis and, as far as have been able 10 see
and learn, all who were not previously acquaiht-
ed with hun, nave been very agreeaby disap-
pointed. From the rank vituperation and abuse,
both political and personal. which Wing presses
and Wing partisans have so increasingly heap
| ed upon him, many persons expected 10 behold
something Outre-in ruth, almost monster /;
but The plain and una Stunning appearance, and
| frank and social manners Of john TYLER, soon
dispeled their deIuson and venture TO pre-
diet that, ere he leaves our mountains, he will
nave won troops OF lrltnds.
little incident took place here on Wedncs-
day, which, as il afforded some amusement for
a time, will relate. Mr.. s., fat and jolly
Democrat from the country after becoming &C
quanted with the President, met with some Of
his neighbors, who also desired an introduction,
and SO he accordingly conducted them to the
presence of his Excellepcy, and very formally
introduced them to-Captain TYLER. The
company around began to smile and litter, and
Mr.. 5. (upon some one reminding him Of his
mist ke) was beginning TO feel uneasy, when
the President, with much nairette and humor
came 10 his relief, explained how he came by
The soubriquet, and soon put his worthy friend
perfectly at ease.
The number now at these healthiul and de-
lightiul waters is quite large. Among the visit
ers are Chief Justice fancy and family, Roger
Jones, Adjutant General of the Amy the
Hon. Edward Kavenaugh, Acting Governor Of
Maine; and Judges Nicholas of Virginia and
Randall of Florida. There are also many visit
ers from Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and
North Carolina.
The ladies and gentlemen amuse themselves
every morning with a game of bowls, in which
the President usually takes part. He appt ans
10 have keen relish for the sport, and is an ex-
cellent bowler. Miss TYLER also plays well,
and fha;r 81 o---.-ny victorious.
In the evenings, the spacious ballroom is thrown
open and ii up, and the standing order
"On with the dance,
Let JOY be unconfnedn-
is proclaimed; and, Of course. the mandate is
eagerly obeyed. The President and family gen
orally attend the saloon on these occasions, and
the graceful form of Miss ALICE TYLER, as she
moves through the dance, is the admiration of
many an eye.
Tomorrow Sunday the President goes to
Winchester TO attend divine worship. having
accepted the polite invitation of WIN. l.. CLARK,
Esq, President of the Railroad Company, who
very kindly offered to despatch an extra locomo
tive aud car for the purpose NJ taking him there
and bringing him back.
Mr. TYLER will leave here in a few DAYS for
the fine and hospiiable mansion of Colonel J
w. WARE, in Clarke County, where he will re-
main for some time.
