JAKES PTTZLLTPS_: Jhe Baleigh papers announce the sudden death of Dr. James Phillips, Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at the State Univereit- at Chapel Hill, on Thursday Lost. The manner of his death is de? tailed as follows in a letter to the Sentinel: CHAPEL HILL. March 14, 1867. . Tho Bev. James Phillips, D.D.. Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, and senior member of the Faculty of the. University,; is no moro. Though his health for. the past ;two or three years has not baen very robust, and the wea'.her this morning very inclement, with his ac? customed punctuality ho went to the Chapel, in advance or tho summons by the college bell, for the purpose of officiating at morning prayer; Mr. Herbert Mallett, a member of the Junior Class, on entering thc Chapel after the bell, had begun to ' ting,' saw tho Doctor seated alone on tho ros? trum, bowed to him, and, his salutation not being returned, approached, one* ju at as he roached the rost? om perceived that ho was falling from his .Beat, ile dropped to tho fionr immediately in tho . rear-of the pulpit, and died in lese than ten min? utos. Dr. Mallett, the fojnily physician, was in at? tendance just ns pulsatiou was ceasing.. Dr. 1'hUlips was born in the County of Essex, England, on the 224 of April, 1792. ST. PATRICK'S BAT. St. Patrick's day falling on Sunday, the gen? eral celebration was postponed until the next day, but tho Catholic churches wero crowded with the devotees of tho Saint, and at St. Pa? trick's Church the ceremonies wore peculiarly interesting, and tho discourse by the Eov. Dr. JKO. HOOKE, tho pastor, displayed a thorough knowl? edge of his subject. The church was beautifully dccoiated with ever? greens, and great taste was displayed by tho ladies of the congregation, in making tho wreathes and ornaments used on this occasion. Tho music of the orchestra and choir reflected groat credit on tho manager, the Kev. JNO. SEACHTK. Tho sermons in the dilfcront churches all biro upon the grand topic of the day, and tho pastors inculcated on their flocks tho precepts first advanced by ST. PATRICK. ST. PATRICK'S BENEVOLENT SOOIETT. Monday being set apart as tho genuine ST. PAT? RICE'S Day was celebrated in a becoming stylo. St. Patrick's Benevolent Society and tho Hibernian Society met and celebrated their anniversary in the usual manner. St. Patrick's Sooiety celebrated their ?f.ioth anniversary or a golden epoch in the genuine Irish style. This association comprises among its members many of our best citizens, and has always been considered one of the most prom? inent charitable organizations in the city. They met at 9 A.M. yesterday, at Masonic Hall, and, proceeded by aband of music, marched to St. Joseph's Church, where a most excellent discourse was delivered by the Kev. J. C. CEOOGHAN. Mr. CBOOOHAK dwelt principally upon thc character and antecedan ts of the Saint, and, if our space admit? ted, a synopsis of his remarks would bo both read? able and impressive. After tho sermon the asso? ciation marched through tho principal streets to thoir Hall, comer of Wentworth and King streets, and there partook of a lunch. At 5 P. M. the so? ciety re-assembled and proceeded to an election, which resulted in the following choice : Bev. J. O. OBOGHAN, President JAMES COSGROVE, First vice-President THOMAS MAHER, Second Vice-president. JAMES F. SLATTERY, Treasurer. JOHN MCMAHON, Secretary. Committee on Finance.-Gart Byrne, B. Bodden, 0. D.

Committee on Letters.-Michael Feehans, James Daw? son and Patrick Kennedy. The company, with their invited gaests, then sat down to a banquet furnished for the occasion, and .tho happy .wit which is inherent in every Haberman breast, generated a plea-mg inter? change of sc timen ts which kept tho guests en? chained until a late hour. ' TEE HTRBTtNIAN SOCIETY. At the regular annual meeting yesterday of this Society the following /gentlemen wero el -ted' officers for tho year ensuing. The meeting was marked with that harmony and good feeling which has always characterized the deliberations of this Sooiety: JAMES E. ROBINSON, President W. H. GTTiTiTTifl jD, Vice President JAMES L. PATTERSON. Treasurer. THOMAS O'BRIEN. Secretary. JOHN BURNS, Hall Keeper. Committee on Finance-C. H. Simonton, J. W. Brown? field, A P. Caldwell. Bernard O'Neill, Adam B. Glover.

At 6 o'clock tho members and invited guests as? sembled in the capacious dining-room on thc first floor of the Hibernian Hall. Tho scene that offered to the eye upon entering was of dazzling splendor. The tables were arranged with great taste, and although two hundred guests were present, there was no crowd. The coup do? of the tables was brilliant. The pretty ornamental dishes, the glitter of glass, china and gas-light, tho large array of excellently trained waiters, and that good-humored face of mine host himself, the renowned PUBCEET,, and his Beveral assistant chiefs, , all were pleasing indications of tho good things that were to come; and we found upon trial afterwards that the event folly warranted our an? ticipations. . M?IXEB'6 Band enlivened the occasion with their excollont music, a great addition at such times, to drown the clatter of knife and fork with more me? lodious sound. The bill of fare, handsomely print? ed, was crowded with the delicacies of the now continent. and the old. There was the greatest variety, and the best and rariest of every.hing; and never havo wo seen guests around a festive board enter into the material part of the exercises with more zest than was the case at thc old Hiber? nian. Mr. PrmcETT, has every reason to feel grati? fied at the appreciation his guests accorded his labors. THE President, JAMES K. ROBINSON, EST., pre? sided over the feast, assisted hy Messrs. JOHN P. O'NEIL, CHARLES H. SIMONTON, Vice President WM. H. GU.T.TT.AND, and Secretary, and the very efficient steward, PATTERSON. To the right of the President sat Chancellor H. D. TITCTRSNE, RICHARD YEADON, and SION OB. HONCATIA, tho SpanUh Con? sul. To his left Honorable.. GEOEQE Sv- BEEAN, Judge of the V. 3. District Const,' and others. - The viands having, been duly discussed, pleas? ingly diversified with music and merry. chat, the cloth was at last removed to moke room for the nert course, "the feast of reason." t. Th? President opened the flow of soul by giving the following, "first regular toast :" : The Day we Celebrate-Gratefully do we ha? its return, hallowed with tba memories of-the past, rich in the prospects of the future. Responded to by Gen. JAMES CONNOR, in his usual ct mest and eloquent manner. Mr. GtLZJLAirs offered the.nezt regular toast: . Ireland-The Land of Genius, Valor and Song. The nations lament her sorrows, and anxiously await the. day of her regeneration. ""' " Responded to by Eon. GEOBGE S. BEEAN, United States District Judge, in his usual felicitous man? ner. He closed by offering the following :. John Brigid, Oie Englishman-The Champion, of. Ireland-the Friend of America-the universal lover of justice and of humanity. Mr. O'NEILL next offered The President of Ole Untied States. . Answered in a most eloquent manner by M P. ? O'COHKEB, Esq., who, in his torn, gove the follow? ing sentiment : - 1 .- > .-? ? - .?.l " Constitutional liberty, tho hope and the aspiration of Irishmen all the world over." . Tho Hon. CHABXOEB H. SMOISTON next offered the following regular toast : South Carotina-She gives her children an honor? ed name: they will bent-preserve it by mamfaining her ancient reputation. Responded to by Senator J. B. CAMPBELL in. words of fervent pathos. We would do the gentle? man injustice were we to attempt to reproduce his remarks. i Mr. vice-President CAREW toasted the Judiciary of South Carolina : ''The wisdom and virtue which have adorned it in the past, are fitly illustrated in our learned Chancellor, H. D. LESSESNE.'' Mr. L. arose, greeted by loud cheers, and re? sponded in an earnest manner, listened to atten? tively by all, and received with great enthusiasm. He closed with the following sentiment: '-Passive heroism, the virtue to be especially cultivated by tho down-trodden South." . ??.. . . i Mr.'W. E. MIKKEL offered the following: Our Sister Societies-"We welcomo tticm'to our board to-night in the spirit of that large fellow? ship with which humanity responds to their deeds of charity. 'j Responded to by, Mr. YEADON, President of the. Fellowship Society, who, at the conclusion of his remarks, gave tho following : . . . . , . '}\the Hibernian Sooiety-The Shamrockgrafted on the Palmetto, rich in its fruit of hospitality and tho virtue of benevolence. Hon. CRABBES H. SKONTOS next offered the health of WILLIAM W?ULET, Esq.., in very compli? mentary terms, and whilo he was speaking we loft the hall. One of tho incidents of the evening it may not, perhaps, ba amiss to note. Ono . of the round tables near the door, surrounded by accompanying extra spirits, was vacated early in the evening. We were amused seeing the surprise of the waiter, as : he returned from the pantry, and found the vacant chairs. Bewildered, he lifted np tho pondant table doth, and peered<underneath to soe if tho heroes were undor the table. The Radical leaders now apeak of Congress as. the "supremo legislative power."

Our Washington Letter. rSPECIAX COBRESP ONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS-l THE CONQSESSIONAi NUISANCE REFUSING TO ABATE ITSELF. THE CAPITAL, March lGth, 1867.-Wo aro likely to have our hopes of on early adjournment most unceremoniously dashed, by the action of thc House. As I intimated in a former letter, tho strength of oren the very few members who favor impeachment grows to bo something colosal, when exercisod upon a Houso that ha3 nothing to do but wait paitentlv upon tho movement of the Senate. And thus it is already being proven in the Representative Chamber, and I fear, with a power of arresting congressional adjournment, to which there will bo Uttle availing opposition. Tho movement was made yesterday bx the simi? litude of a resolution by LOGAS-BED:. BUTLER'S right hand man-to instruct the Speaker to com? plete the formation of Committees for the Fortieth Congress, commencing with the appointment of the Military Committee. This motion, which was put twice, under different guises, and which, if carried, at once places the House upsn a business footing, and induces an indefinite prolongation of the session, only failed by a vote of fifty-five to sixty-five, and required but the change of five votos to carry the proposition. LOGAN himself avows that it was only thrown out as "a feeler," and that, in approximating so nearly to a success? ful consummation, he sees tho sure promise of ul? timately obtaining his end. Thc significant fact, however, which points with such dubious certainty to a lengthened sitting of this extra extraordinary Congress, is in tho action of tho HOUBO Committee on Expenditures, which, under a pretence of investigating and reporting upon certain abuses in the Kew York Custom Houso, has in reality struck bonds with the im? peachment junto, and with thc latter is conniving to so protract the session as to enable the Judiciary Committee to complete their case against the Ex? ecutive, and present tho several counts for his in? dictment and impeachment. This coalition was formally apparent yesterday by the adoption of a resolution providing that tho Committee on Expenditures shall investigate the conduct of HENEY A. S HYTHE, Collector of the fort of New York, with a view to impeaching that officer, should he bo found to have been guilty of bribery or other crime. This is all that appears upon the surface, but the key to the plot is in a private un? derstanding that immediately after disposing ol the President's veto to the Supplementary Recon? struction Bill, which is now before the Senate, the Committee above referred to will report in favor of impeaching SMYTHE. The House, having author? ized the preparation of the report, cannot well de? cline to give it immediato action, and so' at least tour woeks of further business is at once made a "special order" not to be arrested. And then comes the coup d'etat of the impeachers. The Judiciary Committee, which" is putting forth herculean efforts toward the preparation of evi? dence against tho President, have promised, upon the faith of Mr. Bo UT WELL, of Massachusetts, to be in readiness to report by the Inst week in April. By the programme I have already indicated, the House wil'. be made to wait upon the Judiciary, and thus is opened the prospect of an endless ses? sion. THE AMENITIES OF DIPLOMATIC LIFE. j Yesterday, Senor FECUNDO GOK?, the newly ar ! rived Spanish Minister, was presented to the Presi? dent, and "passed the timo of day" with our Sec? retary of State. Mr. GONI is a dark, handsome j man, about forty years old, whoso diplomatic life has been passed mostly in South American Repub? lics. Like all new-comers, he is a stickler for the ! pomps and circumstance of his position, and in I visiting the Executive mansion yesterday he per? sisted in wearing the full uniform of his order,, notwithstanding the advice to tho contrary of the altadles ot bis legation, who have been hero long enough to become Americanized into contempt for such mummery. Howbeit, the Minister repaired to the State Department in "full cap and feather," and .thence was escorted to tho'White House by Secretary SEWABD. Of the subsequent interview with the Chief Magistracy, there is nothing worth recounting, as it partook entirely of that school? boy declamation which has been in vogue for the reception cf foreign representatives in this coun? try throughout the last decade. It may not be uninteresting to remark, however, that ISAHELLA'S agent was not a Uttle disconcerted at the outset of the morning ceremonies, to find Mr. SEWARD waiting to receive him, clad in robes no more decorous than parti-colored dressing gown, and a very Ump collar and cravat. His sur? prise was still further heightened when, on.step? ping into the dingy old carraige, which the Depart? ment hires by the year for the use of the Premier; he found scated opposite the doorkeeper of Mr. SEWARD'S apartments, who was accompanying the party as a bearer of tho inevitable portfolio of State p?viera. Her Majesty's Minister had been startle*' ?-."gutly by Mr. SEWARD'S rakish morning costume, but at being forced to sit vis-a-vis with a messenger of the Department,'and rab his gold lace and decorations against the flimsiness and seediness of SEWARD'S old coat, quite unsettled his reflections for the remainder of the day, as I learn privately from parties intimate with his Le? gation. . "It does seem a Uttle cruel that because SEWABD is a slatternly old fellow-unkempt and fossilized oven when brought to the surface on State'occa? sions-we cannot peremptorily put a stop to such outrageous woundings of the sensibilities of every ! foreign minister who for the first time comes with? in our midst. Let the "Blue^Book" hereafter pre? scribe the clean Unen in which the head of the State Department shall be arrayed from week to week, and,- at the same time, expressly tabooing the presentment of that forlorn old morning gown on public occasions. , , - ; ; . . . j r.; ' - THS REDMAN1 IN WASHINGTON. ; About ene hundred Indians, representing a score or more of tribes, are still sojourning in tho city.

The New York Herald's correspondent from Fredericksbnrg, Ya,, (March 12.) after sayinjr that, the entire population of the place numbered six thousand, among whom they are only about six hundred negroes, he proceeds : This city was the scene of a great many of the exploits of that eccentrio individual Kev.

A bill was reported back formally authorizing tho Atlantic Telegraph Company of New York to make soundings and lay a cable on the American coast. Mr. Pomeroy in? troduced a bill authorizing tho Postmaster General to contract lor the weekly transportation of a mail between Now York and Bremen. Borne other busi? ness of an unimportant natura was transacted, af? ter which Mr- Trumbull called up the Supplement? ary Reconstruction bill. Mr. Brake offered an amendment authorizing the registered voters to de? cide whether they i-hould have a convention or not. Alengthy debate ensued, during which Mr. Fesseu don declared that rather than force the pooplo of tho South back into 'ho Union bo would keep them out. Tho amendment wan rejected by a voie of 17 yeas to 27 nays. Mr. Brake then offered another amendment requiring tho electors to voto oy closed ballots, and providing that such shall be the modo of voting in future, un-ess otherwise ordered by consent of v.'ongress. Rossis. Conkling, Fosson den. Doolittle, Wilson, Henderson, Buckalow and Corbett, spoke against the amendment, denouncing secret ballots. Pending the discussion the Senate went into executive session, and soon after ad? journed. In the House Mr. Covode offered a resolution calling for a select committee to investigate cer? tain charges of irregularities in the Treasury De? partment. Mr. Chand.er objecting, tho resolution went over. A Bill was mtroduced fixing tho time for the election of Representatives and Delegates to Congress; also one making eight hours a day's work for all mechanics and laborers employed by the Government. A petition asking that the same privileges be extended to sailors as are now ex? tended to soldiors was presented. A resolution was offered instructing the Committee on Elec tiona to report whether Mr. Hunt or Mr. ChiUicott was entitled to the seat as a Dolegato from Colo? rado. EBTDA?'S PROCEEDINGS. The Senate passed the joint resolution to pro? hibit the salo or use of malt and spirituous liquors in tho Capitol building. A Bill was passed to pro? vide for tho better security of the lives of passen pers on steam vessels. The supplementary Act to the Bill to "pr?vido ?br tho moro efficient govern? ment of the rebel States was thon taken up. Tho pending amendment, requiring that all electors shall vote by ballot, was rejected. One or two amendments'were adopted and the Bill laid aside until to-day. The Houso adopted a resolution authorizing tho Secretary of the Treasury to sell the coin and bul? lion now in tho Treasury, claim d by certain banks ip Bichmond, Va., and to retain the money derived j from such sale. A resolution was adopted direct ing the Committee on Public Expenditures to take into consideration the report made at the last ses? sion relative .to abuses ac the New York Custom House. Another resolution, which was also adopted, directs that if said Committee find that Mr. Sm. the, the Collector ot" the Port of New York, has been guilty of -bribery or other high crime, it shall report articles of impeachment to the House. . \ -John Mitchel. AS" we copied the statement about Mr. MITCHEL we feel bound to do him the justice of publishing his denial. We also take this opportunity of rec? tifying another mistake, ttriz: That he is a writer on the Bichmond Dispalcli, We have it authoritatively that Mr. MITCHEL at present is not connected with any newspaper or periodical whatsoever. BICHMOND, VA., 14th March, 1867. lo the Editor of the Bichmond Times . Sra : I observed that the Times has reprinted a long and circumstantial statement representing me, said to be taken from a'Dublin paper, in wine I it is asserted, amongst other things, that I have " consented to be the future chief of the Fenians on both sides of tho Atlantic" f. and further, that " the sack of Chester Castle (in England) was pre? vente i by th3 order ' of John Mitchel." I am not the chief of the Benian s on either: side of the At? lantic; and I never sent any order, nor know of any omer being sent, to regulate, to further, or to prevent any movement "or proceeding of the Fo uians,"ettherin'?ngland, m Canada,* in Ireland, or in the United States. I find, further, that American and Irish jour? nals haye printed. a certain letter addressed, to Captain Grate, F.nian organizer for Minnesota, and purporting to have been written by me. It is true that I did reply to a communication from this Captain Grace,- but the letter which I "wro.o is not the letter which he has published. I g ve him permission to print my answer; bat, instead of do? ing so, he has given such parts cf it as he thought might serve his own branch of the Fenians, sup? pressed .the rest, and altered what he has printed. ?Such ore the perils, and sometimes tho penalties, I of answering fetters from""Centres" that are-not in the circle of your acquaintance The substance of what I wrote was, that while approved of the Fenian organization' in America and in Ireland, I disapproved strongly of calling on the people for large contributions of money for immediate nullt ay operations, ander the delusion that anything important could bo effected, either in Ireland or m Canada, so long as England is at peace both with France, and with t< e United States:-that I thought it wrong and cruel to de? mand such sacri- ices and such risks from the Irish settled in America, upon the raith of every mau who promises *insurr.ctibn' in the haryesV'or "war this year," or any given year:-that it was to-> much. m the Irish character to be impatient for" quick results; and that if tho organizations here could content themselves with Keeping up their own existence for the present, demanding no larger subscriptions than are sufficient for that purpose, I should be happy to co-operate 'with them, waiting patiently for the essential condition of all effective movement-war between. England and either of the other powers I have named. It is with great reluctance I have made these rectifications, because I greatly respect and ad? mire the patriotic eagerness of my countrymen for the destruction of English dominion in their na? tive country; and it is painful to me to say a word which looks like discouragement. Nothing but the extensive misuse' of my name could have in? duced me to break my silence, i ?' ' " Your obedient servant, JOHN MITCHELL. Tile Progresa (t)oaT Impeachment.
