THE TYLER MARRIAGE
From the Baltimore Ioyalist, August IS,
In yesterdays L0yalist it is state,
that Mrs. ex-President Tyler denie
the statement made in the New Yorl
Herald, that daughter Of ex-Presi
dent Tyler had recently married
soldier, He has no unmarried mar
riageable daughter, and the story re
corded by the correspondent from lhc
James river is q pure invention"
The above sensation is simply at
evasion, which is sometimes resorted
! to, il seems even BY the 'lirsl families
Of Virginia" Had the correspondent
Of the Herald stated that niece ol
ex President Tyler had married 4
common soldier ofthe United States
/ Army, Mrs. ex President Tyler would
not have found il so 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 condesccnded to con.
meet himself. /.
As the true story is somew hat 70,
mantle, and carries with il an inter-
esting political and social moral, il
shall be given, for the benefit Of tie
/ readers OF the LoyaiiSt, and, as Mr..
] Lincoln says, Of. ."whom it may con-
Germ
Il must be promised that Miss An
gellne Tyler, niece Of * President
Tyler, has for some time resided near
the James, near or within the lines Of
General 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, a
stout, well formed, handsome soldier,
belonging to a New York regiment,
on bis way to the front. was proyiden,
TALLY taken i'll, and stopped at The
hospitable mansion Of Miss Tyler,
where, in spite Of his Yankee origin,
United States uniform, abolition prin
ciples, and his being one of"Abe Lin
celn's hirelings,' lie was Kindly re-
ceiyed, humanely treated and tender
ly watched over by the aforesaid An.
geline.
John Kick fingered almost too long.
lie was on the point OF being inscribed
on lAe roll Of deser,ers, when he ap-
peared at General Buffers headquar-
ters, smiling, hale and hearty, and
humbly presented to the General
missiye, neatly folded and addressed
IN feminine hand to himself On
opening it he found a humble repre-
sentalion that the husband of the un-
dersigned, having possibly rendered
himself liable TO military punishment
by oyerstaying his time, which delay
was explained by The fact that be had
been taken sick at her house, and had
required considerable time for his re-
coyery and also fof the celebration Of
his marriage TO herself, which was
substantialei by responsible wtnes-
ses, Size pr yed that, in consideration
Of the peculiar circum,lances,h ,he might
be forgiven, and, furthermore, that
fqrlough Of thirty days be granted
him, llat they might complete their
necessary household arrangements.
On iaqliring into lh' facts General
Batter found bat Kick did lot belong
to BIZ command, bat vas under Gen
oIai Burnside, whereupon he kindly
wrote 1T once 10 that commander. /
stating Tire facts, and, congratulaling
him upon the prospect oil raising up I
generation Of Union soldiers 10 Vr-
ginia. advised compliance with the /
petition Of Mrs. Kick, nee "Tyler."-
We may presume thai the gallant /
General Burnside promptly gave bis
assent, and enabled the newly welded /
pair to enjoy their honeymoon, with /
no apprehensions Of wars alarms, or
visions OF invading "Yanks7 /
or "Johnnies"
To crown the whole matter, General /
Butler addressed a polite note " Mrs.
Tyler, informing her that her niece
would 20 longer excite her anxiety
for her health or ter lonely situation,
as She had taken for her
husband and lawful protector John
Kick. brave soldier Of tie army 81
be United States but s,il, a. She
might wish to witness the happiness Of
he newly welded pair. and give them
such advice a. a maironiy relative
,nly could bestow, he took pleasure in
orwariing her the pass she had 50
oug desired.
such are very nearly the facts Of
his romantic affair.
