A Esaa Old Ioredicament.

Once upon time, In the village of B..
State of Massachusetts,, lived handsome
young maiden of seventeen, whom VIC will
call Fanny l., and George Y was
her accepted lover: The course of true
love ran smooth, and in due process OF
time the twain were made one by the
benpdiction of the church.
They were married early one summer 8
morning, and the same day travelled cozi-
ly and happily together to the stage of the
wedding tour. A younger brother Of the
bride, most mischievous rascal, accom-
panied them as groomsman.
Behold the party arrived at the Gait
House, Philadelphia. While George was
dutifully attending to the comforts of his
young wife, the brother, IN the perfor-
nance of his duties as groomsman, went
to the Office of the hotel to enter the names
and select appropriate apartments. Pen
In hand, brilliant idea struck him, and
in pursuance Herewith he registered the
names thus: 80. yss

GEORGE y
Fanny, being somewhat fatigued with
travel, retired early.
George smoked his cigar for an hour or
two, and dreamed of his bachelorhood, we
suppose Finally, he requested to be
shown to his apartment. An obsequious
waiter, with candle in hand, attended
him.
"With the lady who came with me-"
said George.
The waiter smiled, hesitated, and then
disappeared, returning shortly with an
exquisitely dressed CLERK.

occupied by the lady &ho arrived here
with me" repeated George, blushing TO
the tips of his ears.
The clerk smiled, and shook his head,
as though in pity of the young mans ig-
norance.

have mistaken the house. Such things
are not allowed here, sir"

tonished bridegroom "why, | only want

The clerk bowed ironically. Gall very
fine, sir, but l can't see it, sir. Here is

George looked at the register, and there
was the eutry, sure enough:
"Miss Fanny L."
George Y"
He saw the whole secret at glance
He protested and eEtreated-but it was
no use. He called on James to set the
matter right, but James was nowhere to
be found. The bystanders laughed, and
the clerk was inexorable; and the poor
fellow was forced into his solitary cham

ted wretchedness. It is to be presumed
he did not fail to invoke dire curses on
the whole class of respectable hotels"
while younger brothers have been his es-
pecial abomination ever since.

Mrs. Kick, nee "Tyler." We may presume
that the gallant Gen. Burnside promptly
gave. his assent, and enabled the newly
welded pair to enjoy their honeymoon,
with no apprehensions of vars alarms, OF
disturbing visions of invading "Yanks .

To crown the whole matter, Gen. Butler
addressed polite note to Mrs. Tyler, in
forming her that her neice would no longer
excite her anxiety for her health or her
lonely situation, inasmuch as she had TAX

Such are very nearly the facts of this
romantic affair.

A Speech by President Lincoln.

WASHINGTON. August 1s.-This after
noon the 164th Ohio Regiment, Col. J. G.
Lee, whose term of service has expired,
paid their respects to the President, in
front of the Executive Mansion, who adj
dressed them as follows:
"SOLDIRRs: You are about to return to
your homes and your friends, after having,
as learn, performed in camp compare
lively short Term of duty in this great con-
test. am greatly obliged to you, and to
all who come forward at the call of their
country. I wish it might be more gener-
ally and universally understood what the
country is now engaged in. We have, as
all will agree, free government, where
every man has right to be equal with
every other man. In this great struggle
this form of government and every form
of human rights is endangered if our enc
mics succeed There is more involved in
this contest than is realized by every one.
There is involved in this struggle the ques-
ton whether your children and my chill
dren shall enjoy the privileges we have en-
joyed. l say this in order to impress upon
you, if you are not already so impressed,
CnaC no Small mdCC6r SuOulU UlVerG us from
our great purpose. There may be some
inequalities in the practical application of
our great system. 1t is fair that each man
shall pay taxes in exact proportion to the
value of his property; but if we should
wait before collecting tax to adjust the
taxes upon each man in exact proportion
with every other man, we should never
collect any tax at all. There may be mis-
takes made sometimes; things may be
Gone wrong while the officers OF the gov
eminent do all they can to prevent mis-
takes. But l beg of you, as citizens OF
this great Republic, not to let your minds
be carried off from the great work we have
before us; this struggle is too large for
you to be diverted from it by any small
matter. When you return to your homes
rise up to the height of a generation Of
men worthy of a free government. and we
will carry out the great work which we
have commenced. l return to Won INV
sincere thanks, soldiers, for the honor you
have done me ibis afternoon" -

From the Baltimore Loyalist August t.

From the Baltimore Loyalist August 13
In yesterdays LOyaliss it is stated thai
"Mrs. ex-President Tyler denies the state
ment made in the New York Herald, thai
daughter of ex-President Tyler had re.
Gently married a soldier. He has no I'M.
married manageable daughter, and the
story recorded by the correspondent from
the James River is pure invention"
The above sensation is simply an eva,
sion, which is sometimes resorted to, il
seems, even by the +" first families of Vir.
GINA" Had the correspondent of the
Herald stated that niece of ex. President
Tyler had married common soldier Of
the United States Army, Mrs. ex-Presi-
dent Tyler would not have found it 80 easy
to deny the fact, and which, by the way,
we look upon as honorable to the young
lady, as well as to the family with which
the soldier has condescended to connect
himself.
AS the true story is somewhat romantic,
and carries with it an interesting political
and social moral, it shall be given, for the
benefit of the readers of the LoyaliSk and,
as Mr.. Lincoln says, of "whom it may
concern !
1t must be promised that Miss Angelina
Tyler, niece of ex-President Tyler, has for
some time resided near the James, near or
within the lines of Gen. Butler, who had
had some correspondence with Mrs. Tyler,
who expressed great anxiety to visit her
niece, on account of her delicate health,
and solicited pass for that purpose.
In the meantime one John Kick, stout,
well-formed, handsome soldier, belonging
to New York regiment, on his way to the
front, was providentially taken i'll, and
stopped at the hospitable mansion of Miss
Tyler, where, in spite of his Yankee ORR
gin, United States uniform, abolition prin-
ciples, and his being one of "Abe Lincoln
hirelings," he was kindly received, hu-
namely treated and tenderly watched over
by the aforesaid Angelina.
John Kick fingered almost too long. He
was on the point of being inscribed on the
roll of deserters, when he appeared at
Gen. Buffers headquarters, smiling, hale
and hearty, and humbly presented to the
General missive, neatly folded and adj
dressed in feminine hand to himself. On
opening it he found q humble representa-

Thirty.Two Lodges Of the
Sissetons Make a Treaty
Of Peace.
A Very Large Body Of Hostile
Indians on the Missouri
River.
A Portion Of the DakOtahS taking
Refuge in the British
Possessions.

A letter from GABRIEL RENvILLE, dated
Two Lakes, May IA, 1864, states that there
are thirty-two lodges of Sissetons who have
aigned the treaty Of peace with the govern
ment, encamped near his camp, have received
directions to move towards Devils Lake. They
are willing to do SO but fear their going in adj
vance of the troops will lead them into trouble
with the hostile Indians.
At the mouth of Heart River there are 2,1OO
lodges of Tetonwans and Eyanktonais. Their
object is to obstruct the passage of boats up
the Missouri River and of emigrants across the
plains There are said to be 300 lodges of
Tetonwans and a few Eyanktonais encamped
near the fort on the Missouri River for the pur-
pose of making peace with the whites. If
they can accomplish that object they will then
make war with the Winnebagoes. 1t is re-
ported that there are many Indians scattered
through the country who are determined upon
war with the whites.
Another letter from GABRIEL RENvILLE,
dated May 18th, states that all the Dakotas,
save those mentioned in his letter of the day
previous, are said to be assembling at Turtle
Mountain, beyond the American line The
English advised them to this. The British all
thorities sent messengers to them to remove
within their lines. They were told if they were
one foot within that line, and were. fired upon
by the Americans, the act would be looked
upon in the same light as if Her Majesty's SUBJ
jects had been treated in the same manner. So
that none will be found during the summer
upon American territory.
Additional news is brought in by another
messenger. At place beyond the boundary
line all the Indians are assembling, in compli-
ance with the advice of the British authorities.
1t is said the English have advised that all the
Sioux should encamp together, and when the
Americans reach Devils Lake, the chiefs and
principal soldiers should all go together and
shake hands with them, and when they had
made peace, and the Americans shall have To-
Gated spot for them, they should return to
their camp, and after consultation, if they can
come to the conclusion that it is country in
which they could subsist themselves, they
should accept the proposition, &c.
