A Mother Seeking her Son'.
- . We have received a pathetic appeal
from Mrs. B. Feary, of Tradelphia. Ohio
County, West Virginia, entreating infor?
mation with regard to & missing son.
Sergt. Wm.. G. Feary, of Battery D, 1st
West Virginia Artillery, wa? made a pri?
soner by the Confederates, and taken to
the hospital at Florence, on thc 13th day
of February, two days before the prison?
ers were removed for exchange lie was
sick of fever; and, from this date, no in?
formation in respect to him has reached
his mother. She is naturally in a most
unhappy state of anxiety regarding his
fate; and on her behalf, we make an ap?
peal, through the columns of the Pheonix,
to any such person as may be able to fur
nish the desired information. The heart
of every parent will second this appeal,
and all persons of humanity, having the
means to know and learn, are earnestly
entreated tosend to us, orto Col. N. Haugh
ton, Commander of the United States
forces at *his post, any trustworthy infor?
mation that can be had in respect to the
missing soldier. We should be pleased, in
the meantime, to learn who was the sur?
geon in charge of thc Confederate hospital
at Floreuce during the period in question,
and where he may be addressed. We shall
be most happy, if possible, and through
any agency, lo relieve the anxieties of this
hapless mother.
Important Decision.
Tho reader, of every class, will do well
to note thc following important decision,
copied from the Richmond Whig, of May i
26. Tho principle laid down will, as a
matter of course, regulate all the relation8
of debtor and creditor, as well as those of
landlord and tenant: i
The Court yesterday delivered its writ?
ten opinion in relation to contracts enter?
ed into between landlord and teuant on
the basis of Confederate money. Rent dee
prior to April 1, 1865, and not paid, is to
be paid in Federal currency, such a sum as
the amount of rent in Confederate money
would have purchased of gold at the time
the payment was due. Thus, if the rent
were ?1,500 per quarter, the sum to be
now paid for the rent due March 31 is
-ascertained by dividing the ?1,500 bj' (say)
60, the selling rate of gold, equal to ?25
in greenbacks. From ami after the 1st
April, 1865, rent for the unexpired term
is, for dwelling houses, fixed at the raies
in 1S60, and for stores .ind other places of
public business an addition of 50 per cent.
Tomlin against Giles. This case was
decided, so far as eoncerns the rent, in
accordance with the principle above an?
nounced The rent in 1860, as a dwelling
house, was ?300. If used and rented then
for e. place of public business, as a portion
of it now is, the rent would have proba?
bly been ?400. Add to this latter fifty
per cent, and the rent is ascertained which
the tenant shall pay.
TUE PEESIDENT'S^SEALTH.-The Herald
states that the condition of President
Johnson's health is such that he needs rest,
good air and careful medical attendance
to restore him to his wonted health and
strength.
RELIEF FOE TUE SOUTH.-The New York
Herald calls on the Government and
Korlhem business corporations and indi
viduals to arrange ways and means for
supplying the necessities of thc Southern
people.
A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-A correspondent,
of the Savannah Republican states that
three white plant?is, living above the
Ashepoe Ferry, S- C., were murdered a
short time since by some colored persons.
The names of the unfortunate individuals
wera Hoar, West aud Richdale. They
were living on u- plantation owned by
"Wm. Lowndes.
In the proceedings of a late court mar?
tial, in the city of Charleston, Lieut. A. S.
Br?dine was tried and found iruilty of
expelling the negroes from Hibernian Hall,
which had been engaged for a meeting of
white citizens. The General commanding
tne department has withdrawn tho repri?
mand to whjch the aceused was sentenced
by the court.

It will be remembered that, in the abo

Southern States must be increased. The
negro must now rank as an entire man.
and not as the fifth of ono only.

TnK WEATUEK.-Sunday was a painfully
oppressive day. Night brought no relief.
The moon seemed to shine out with fervor,
making her way through thin masses of a
snowy clo'ud drift." At half-past 10 p. m.,
we are told that there was a sudden light?
ing up of the heaven, as if by the dawn
or by an aurera, which passed off in a
few minutes, and was followed by lo"w
rumbling sounds, not unliko the imitation
thunder at a theatre. But no earthquake
followed herc, of which we arc advised.
Between 1 and 2 in the morning, a shower
of rain came down,-lasted but a few
minutes, and the sky cleared again. The
shower was too dry to lay the dust, or
cool of the earth the upper crust, and
while we write, though the atmosphere is
.somewhat lighter, we still have trie pros
I peet of the continuance of dry hot wea
i ther. The failure of rain during tbs pre?
sent week will be a severe blow to the
prospects of the corn crop. Of cotton, we
I have no iedrs-so little has been planted,
j V. S.-While we write, al 2 V p. m.
I Monday, we are enjoying a heavy ano
relieving shower, which promises to con?
tinue. The lightning flashes, the thunder:
roll, the incumbent, atmosphere lifts sensi
bly, and we breathe with more freedon
I and a more grateful sentiment of life. Oh
the sovereign thunder! Oh! the seraphi<
lightning! Ye storm to purify-ye rag?
to bless. Would that all the powers tba
disturb our skies were as benevolent o
mission as yours.
PIPING TO GOOD PuBro6E.-i-We wer*
surprised, a day or two ugo, by a noudc
script looking packet, addressed to th
editor, and accompanied by a sealed lettei

without damage or casualty, with the a:
of these implements, to make our wt
into the secrets of the mysterious pack?
Great wa?our relief, and our satisfacfu
scarcely less so. We found the packet
contain, bound in leaves of rose, of v
j nilla- and lavendar, a goodly and wi
j shaped briar root pipe, of the latest stv
I of art and fashion. An anonymous lett

ceiviug a special want in our sanctu:
We trust that he will never be pipele

from whom this tribute comes; but .
greatly suspect a certain gentleman wi

In a word, aut Diabolus aut Cohen. A

obliged to him. He is a gentlen

play upon his pipe, duly regarding
stops and points, with a perfect indif

W# should not forget to aoknowlec
along with the pipe, a packet of chi

lawyer-medico merchant of Assembly

ministering physic, and selling good wines,
good ale, and good things^ generally, is
almost independent of the editorial "well

long from the graceful verses which ac?
companied the packet^ .Here they ore
excellently.rhymed and pleasantly tittillat
jng in an epigrammatic fashion:
To thc Editor of Ute Columbia Phonix:
"Will you play upon this pipe?"--? Ham?

To vou, who've often piped a lay,
And blown a flattering Jt>??f,

Nor "per.e'rable stuil'."
Of stronger mould-yet type of man,
In thisl that, i nce awoke /
To action, tho' sublime the plan,

Not that I would accuse yo? now
Of laboring not enough; .
Too long the laurels on your brow

Give me another! and we'll blow
Life's bubbles all away,
j Till choice tobaccoes cease to grow,
And pipes no loneer play!

A great Family Literary Paper. I
We desire to call the attention ol our
readers to the advertisement, of the Nea
York Weekly, which will bc found else?

tion, one of the very best papers publish?
ed. Iis matter is entirely original; and
consista of first-class STORIES, POEMS,
SKETCHES, and varied departments; und
while tho stories selected for publication
are invariably exciting and deeply inte?
resting, they are at the same time free
from that unhealthy exeM.-ment which
generally marks the newspaper literature
of the day, and full of" sound morality. It
will be seen by the advertisement that two
uew* serials are just commenced, entitled
"Owen thc Convict,-or the Heart's Devo?
tion," and "Thc Cubau Heiress, or Old

mances. The first, entitled
OWEN THE CONVICT,
OH THE HEART'S - DEVOTION,
is perhaps the GREATEST ROMANCE of
modern times, not excepting ihe most po?
pular of Dumas' works. l< is the story pf
a youth pushed into c?ime by tlic fore? of
circurnsiances, ar.d of a pure, devoted,
whole-souled woman, who refused to be?
lieve in his guilt, and nobly stood hy him
till the last. While it has all the touching
pathos of the "Ticket of-1 eave Man," it at
the same t.iipe is brim full of the most ex
tran rd i nary and soul stirring adventures
by land and sea. I he hero gets out of ono
difficulty jato another arith a rapidity
which is wonderful, and which shows the
most unexampled ingenuity on the part of
the highly-gifted author, who holds his
readers as if spell hound from the opening
j to che close. Old romancers who have
rea# the manuscript-men who have been
familiar with f.tory reading and story
Wilting throughout their lives, have been
'so entranced with this truly wonderful
sU:ry thui they have found it impossible io
lay it down till tiny had read to tb o very
