,ay,a Romance of lssc Camp.

In Yesterdays LOYdi{St 1t is stated that
"NIrs. eX- President Tyler denies the state
mpt made in the New York Hc"Jd, that a
daughter of ex- President Tyler had recently
married soldier. He has no unmarried
marriageble daughter and the story record
ed by the correspondent from the james
river is pure invention
The above sensation is simply an evasion,
which is sometimes rCsortcd to, it seems
even by the first families of Virginia. Had
the correspondent of the Herald stated that
niece of President Tyler had married a
common soldier of the United States Army,
Mrs. ex-Presidcnt Tyler would not have
found it 50 easy to deny the fact, and which
by the way, we look upon rs honorable to
the young lady, us 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 Loyalist, and,
as Mr. Lincoln says, of "whom it may con-
Germ
1t must he promised that Miss Agelinc
Tyler, niece of President Tyler, has for
sometime 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 Jack Kick, a stout,
wcll-formcd. handsome soldier, belonging
to a New York Regiment, on his way to the
front, was providentially taken i'll, and stop
ped at the hospitablc mansion of Miss Tyler,
where. in spite of lis Yankee origin, United
States uniform, abolition principles, and his
being one of ABE I.inCOlns hirelings, he
was kindly received, humancly treated and
tcndcriy watched owe by the aforesaid An
geIiue.
John Kick fingered almost too long. He
was on the point OF being inscribed on the
roll of dcScrtcrs, when he appeared at Gen.
Buffers headquarters, smiling, hale and
hearty. and humblX presented to the General
a misSivc. neatly folded and addressed in a
feminine hand to humble representation
that the husband of the undersigned, hav-
ing possibly rendered himself liable to mill
tary punishment by ovcrstuying his time,
which delay was explained by the fact that
he had been taken sick at her house, and
had required considerable time for his re-
covcry and also for the celebration of his
marriage to herself, whicn was substantiated
by responsible witnesses, she prayed that, in
consideration OF the peculiar circumstances,
he might be forgiven, and, furthermore that
Il turlough of thirty days be granted him
that they might complete their necessary
household arrangements.
On inquiriug into the facts, Gen. Butler
found HAT Kick did not belong to his com
mand, but was under Gen. Burnside, where
upon he kindly wrote at once to that com
mandcr, stating the facts. and, congratula-
ting him upon the prospect OF raising up a
generation Of Union soldiers in Virginia,
advised compliance with the petition of
Mrs. Kick, nee "Tyler' We may presume
that the gallun: Gen. Burnside promptly
gave his assent. and enabled the newly
welded pair to enjoy their honeymoon, with
no apprrhensions OF wars alarms, or dis
turhing visions of invading "lanks" or
"JuhnniCsn
To-Cruwn the whole matter, Gen. Butler
addressed note to Mrs. Tyler informing
her tha, her ncicc would 10 longer excite
her anxiety for her health or lonely situa-
ton, iuusmuch as She had taken for her hus-
band and lawful protector John Kick, n
brave soldier of the army Of the United
States; but still, rs she might wish TO wit
mes, the happiness OF the newly welded pair
and give them such advice as a matronly
relative only could hcstow, he took pleasure
in forwarding her TIE pass she had so long
desired.
Such are very nearly the facts of this ro-
mantle affair
