IX. Star. WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1857. ROMANCE OF WASHINGTON SOCIETY. An Irish Unprotected Female. Letters from Senator Fitzpatrick and Mrs. Senator Clay of Alabama. The strange ease of love into which a gentle- man of this vicinity (says the Vernon. Jackson Parish, Louisiana, Herald, of April 3d) became entrap ington City is already pretty well known throughout North Louisiana, and perhaps we may say the United States. The gentleman still resides near this place, and within the last week we have seen and conversed with him, and also with the young lady with whom he has become entangled. We first, in ® private interview with her, obtained her consent to write and publish all that we are going to write and publish, and afterwards we bezame icquedated asely knowing our purpose, rendered no objection with the written statements of her friends, and such actual facts as have fallen under our own | observation since we first saw her. She is as intelligent and accomplished in her munners as you will find one woman in a thous- and, take the United States over. and is well educatel. Without being decidedly pretty, she from being a homely woman. In form she is large, and a perfect model in figure. No chisel ever wrought a more perfect bust than she displays. Her hair is black, inclined to earl; her eye-brows and lashes of the samo color; | and the eyes a dark yellow. inclined to hazel You may. by studious effort. bring her to a smile occasionally. but it is a smile of hidden sorrow. Her teeth are like two rows of pearls, “bid among the lilies.’ Whenever we have seek her, she has been dressed black si well trimmed and made up in the very best | style. She wears on her besom a handsome brooeh, which she says is a present from her over, anl her fingers are full of rings, one of h she says is also the gift of him for whem she is now willing todie. She is native of Lim- ertek. «city of Ireland, where her parents now live. and where she has several brothers. She may be called a servant girl, bat such an ap- a) on cloes her injustice: for when you speak ot ~ an [rish servant girl,’ you have no refer- ence to such a woman as the one of whom we are now speaking. She isasecond Hagar, and. in our opinion. no less the object of special Providence and the esteem and admiration of all cool men With this woman, the object of her heart's truest and purest devotion beeame acquainted ata boarding house in Washington City, on the occasion of his last visit there, several months but not a year ago.

We will only state what is the principal strange feature in the whole affair. that there seem to have been no special or binding proffer of matrimony made. and no contract of that kind contemplated or | desired on either side. Yet the girl was to follow the gentleman to his home in Louisiana; we say she was to do so. for she assures us that | sach an agreement or understanding was had between them before they parted. Atany rate she did follow him, all alone; and passing | through Alabama, she became detained in her | journey, and there met with Senator Fitzparick, who had boarded at the house where she lived | in Washington, and who knew her, and knew her to be among the best and most worthy of women, as the following letter of recommenda- tion to her will prove beyond the chance of cavil : * Autavea Co., Ana., Nov. 17th, 1856. “T have known Miss Mary ******, tho bearer of this letter. fur the last twelve months She was employed at the house at which I | ton City, during the last | boarded in Washir session of Congress, and was universally esteera- ed by all who knew her as an upright. honest, | industrious and virtuous girl.
