inches for the reception of statuary in
the other corners.
This room, which is doubtless the
handsomest in the city, and perhaps in
the State, opens into the parlor By slid
ing doors, and can be used as second
parior for giving large parties.
On the left of the hall, as you enter,
is the sitting room, a spacious and ele-
CANT apartment, with a handsome bay
window looking to the West, afording a
pleasant view down the street, and ad-
dug greatly to the light and ventilation
Of the room.
The front windows, reaching from the
ceiling to the floor, are double, and are
composed of two lights of the most trans
parent French glass
Back of the sitting room, across a
half hall leading 10 side door, is ca
pacious pantry, and beyond this is the
breakfast room, which is very handsome
iy and appropriately finished. Immedi-
ately back of the breakfast room is a
large kitchen provided with ali the mod
ern conveniences of cisterns, sinks, heat
ing apparatus, and reservoirs for cold or
hot water
Up stairs, which rises in the half hall
between tina sitting room and the pantry,
are the bed rooms, four in number-large,
light, well ventilated, and elegantly fp-
ished
Over the kitchen are sleeping apart
Rsents for servants, which are reached by
a fight of stairs rising between the
breakfast room and pantry.
At the back end of the hall, up stairs,
is a-nice bathing room and water closet
The bathing apparatus is arranged for
hot or cold water, and for giving shower
baths.
The wood work is magnificent,
vanished in its natural colors, pine and
walnut, and is very pleasing aspect of
the building.
The wood work was made by Mr.. JAS
Steele, and was put up by Messrs. Moore
L DIETRICH, of this city, and is a high
commentator of the skill of our me-
chanics.
Every room has CRATE, where
cheerful glowing fire in winter may add
pleaeantness to the apartment, and in
the parlor and sitting room, handsome
marble mahtles ornament the fire place.
The entire building is elegantly ar
ranged and finished, and Mr.. Sonntag has
displayed consummate taste and judg-
ment in his selections of patterns, colors
&c, and in the arrangement. and finish
of the several apartments.
We hope others who contemplate
building costly houses, will emulate the
example of Mr.. Sonntag, and, if possible,
improve on his style, thereby redeeming
our city and citizens from the charge of
Old fogyism and a want of architectural
taste, or want of proper appreciation of
the beautiful combined with the useful.

CARD FROM MISS DAYTON'S FATHER
New CREEK. VIReINIA.l
December 18th, 1862.

Ma. EDITOR: 1 saw in your paper
some time since, nv daughters name
rather consp;cuouely used, and not re-
flecting much credit upoa her or her
family. Now. sir. you will give me a
place in your columns. will give you
a few facts Tor your consideration, and
the benefit of community at large, by
which | will prove the most outrageous
act ever perpetrated on an innocent
family, BY Major Phelps. of the 9Th
Virginia Regiment Though I feel TO
sympathise with Mrs. Phelps. believing
her to be an amiable lady, yet cannot
help feeling for my own, poor deceived
and disgraced daughter. The outrage
is too hellish TO find a parallel. He
(Phelps) came TO my house. and passed
himself off for an unmarried man, and
threatened to court martial any OF his
men, that would say anything about
his { (Phelps) having family. He also
made profession Of religion. while at
my house. and by so doing, tried to
gain the confidence of Miss R. C. Day
ton. He also stated that he wrote Rev.
Kelley's sermons for him, and il he was
called on to die. be (Phelps) was pre-
pared, I think not for heaven but for
hell. The facts are as follows: He
came to my house at late hour Of the
night. in citizens clothes and carried
her Rebecca G. Dayton) on horse to
Piedmont, where he had rented room,
stating that his wife would be there,
and gave Thomas Paxton $40 to keep
the secret for him. From there he
took her the same night to Frankville,
after breaking lock to get horse out
OF Mr. Pax'on's stable. At the above
place, he was seen to take her on the
cars. BY friend. (P H.. who recog-
nized her to be my daughter. The
next heard of them, was at Parkers.
burgh. where he (Phelps) had taken
lodging at the Richmond House, and
had registered Rebecca's name as Miss
J. Brown at which place he paid her
bills. He (Phelps) left her in few
days, in the above place. and was gone
but short Tine, when the report came
that Major Dayton had shot Major
Phelps. for the outrage perpetrsted on
his sister. After this report came TO
her ears, she determined to return to
her home. About which time card
appeared in the Parkersburg Gazette,
which gave evidence that Phelps was
not Filled. She then changed her
mind, and started in pursuit of Phelps. |
and few days will prove to the world !

friends of Major Phelps, viii keep an
eye on correspondence he has, they
will find that he is still trying to earrg-
on his helIish design to farther length

friend. that Rebecca is near MiIlersport
