Death of Rev. DR.. James Phillips.

A good man I" has fallen in Israel" DR.
James Phillips, for many years an honored
and most useful Professor in our State Uni
versity, is no more A correspondent wri-
ting us from Chapel Hill, under date March
14th, 1867, says:
"The University has lost its oldest and best
known Professor. The Rev. DR.. James Phillips,
Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy,
died suddenly this morning, Thursday, March
14th. He had gone notwithstanding the feeble
ness of his health, to the College Chapel in order
to conduct the regular morning religious exer-
cises, which precede the rccitations of the day,
and had taken his seat on the rostrum. He was
accosted by of the students, but made no
reply, and in a few minutes fell senseless
to the floor The physician was Immediately
summoned, bnt by the time he reached him,
life had departed. Thus died peacefully, without
blest OF men.
DR.. Phillips was born in the County of Essex,
England, on the 23d Of April, 1872 He was
elected Professor in the University of North Car
DINA in July, 1896 and not long after ordain-
ed as Minister of the Gospel in the Presbyterian
Church, and continued up to the hour of his
death in the dilgent discharge Of his duties both
unbroken, conscientious, self denying devotion
to the duties of his calling. Now, is not the
time to scketch his life and Character; 1 write
these hurried lines simply to announce the fact of
his death, and to request fitting notice of it in
your paper. One who has served his State and
country so long and SO faithfully deserves well of
all his fellow-citizens."
We confess our inability to do justice to
the virtues and long and most useful life of
the deceased. Some other pen will doubt
less perform this task in an acceptable man
ner, in justice to his memory, and for the
benefit of the rising generation.

without perceiving the consequences. We
must have our acisest and best men
3. Beware of analgamatiOn. There is
much more of it already than is commonly
| supposed. No one in this State, either white
or colored, will advocate it. It is ruination.
All history shows, without a solitary excep-
| ton, that when two peoples mingle on terms
| of social equality, amalgamation follows. In
much of the State, the two races now eat
| together at the same table. sit together in
the same rooms, work together, visit, and
hold debating societies together. None OF
this is necessary. If it continues, as sure as
Natures's laws stand, it will bring a food of
sorrows upon both races.
Let no true man be offended at plain
words It is well to consider. A prudent
man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself
Beware of the tricks and arts of the Worth
| party, and take heed to yourselves lest un
suspected errors should mar the good work

chivalry, if they wish. 1t is enough for Mr.
Holden to know that maugre the loathing
of baffied rebels, he is heartily sustained by
the true Union men of the State black and
white. URRAN
Our correspondent, whose favors are al
ways welcome, attaches undue importance to
the miserable, mean white traitors of the
Goldsboro' News. If one of the Editors of
that vile and disgusting thing-W. Whita-
ker-had justice for his treason he would
soon dangle at the ropesend The time has
come to deal with traitors as they deserve.
The County of Wayne is now, and has been
for years hotbed of treason. Let the true
men of that County rise up and put their
heels on their prosecutors and oppressors.-

FOrtieth Congress.

WASHINGTON, March 49,
SENATE.-The militia bill comes I'D to-
morrow
Mr. Trumbull reported Mr.. Wilson's bill
| as substitute for the House supplemental
bill. 1t modiies the oath somewhat, and al
lows the commanding General to delegate
powers to the acting Governors.
HeUsE.-In the Committee of the Whole
the bill appropriating million Of dollars to
the destitute of the South was considered.
Mr.. Wood opposed the measure. The
South only wanted their civil rights and
Northern capital to develop their resources.
Mr.. Williams thought that the Congress
ional bounty would be applied to the wild
! ows and orphans, made so by the Rebels
If any are to suffer, let it the disloyal, and
let God Almighty populate that country
with people loyal to the flag.
Mr. Chandler denounced the measure as
! one intended to bolster up the Freedmens Blu
reau 1t was only wolf in sleeps clothing.
Mr.. Boyer hoped the bill would pass, as
the Freedmen's Bureau was the best means
of distributing the necessities. If this bill
failed. he didn't wish to hear anything more
of Ireland sympathy. He declared the an
alogy between the Southern and Irish peo-
pie complete.
Mr.. Butler offered a substitute that the
million of dollars should go to the widows
and orphans of those starved at Anderson
vile and elsewhere.
Messr. Butler and Logan made bitter
speeches.
Many Republicans spoke warmly in oppo-
sition to the substitute, and in favor OF the
BILL
The Committee finally rose without &C.
ton, and the House adjourned.

The Meeting in Raleigh on the 27th.

The Meeting in Raleigh ON the 27th.
We are in the receipt of letters from friends
in all parts of the State, warmly approving
the proposed meeting on the 9th. Among
others the Hon. Robert P. Dick, of Guilford,
writes us as follows: " I was much gratified
to see the call for the Union meeting on the
9th. have a very important Court at the
time, but if possible 1 will be present at the
time indicated. I think VIC ought to meet
for consultation and organization. In the
present condition of the country it is almost
criminal in Union men to refuse to act
promptly and theoretically. The future may
seem dark, but there is no hope save in the
action of loyal Union men. We must show
Congress and the Northern people that there
is strong loyal element in our State, which,
overcome disloyalty and treason. If the
Unionists delay action, they will III some de-
gree be responsible for the ruin that may
come upon u.s."
We have recently had the opportunity Of
comforting with Hon. Thomas Settle, Hon.
A. Fl. Jones, Gen. Alfred Dockery, D. NJ
Carter, Esq, VIII. Jenkins, Esq. r. W. Las
sitter, Esq, and other friends, who assure us
they will be present on the occasion; and we

WHAT GEN. COBB SAYs.-The Augusta
Constitutionalist says, eve learn that this
distinguished civilian and soldier has just re-
turned from Washington, where he has been
spending few weeks, and that he reports
affairs there as anything but pleasant and
promising. He, however, gives it as his
opinion that it is unwise for the people of
the State to enter just now upon the discuss
ion of the question of acceptance or rejection
of the propositions contained in the sher-
man bill"
It makes no particular difference what
Gen. Cobb and other traitors may say. The
Sherman act will be carried out in good
faith, and the affairs of the rebel States will
be placed permanently in loyal hands. Com
pared with Gen. Cobb, Gov. Jo Brown is
patriot. Georgia may hear Cobb, but she
will do what Brown says

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Voting by the

Colored People of this State!
A friend writing US from Newbern, in this
State, says:
eve are glad to see the movement by the
friends of reconstruction. The delegates
from Craven will be on band. Our munich
pal election comes off next month, and with
the aid of the colored vote we intend to pro-
claim Union triumph in Newbern."
This is good news. Under the provisional
government of 1865 the City of Newbe.n
and County of Craven were in loyal hands.
These communities have since passed into
rebel hands. The gallant few in that City
and County who have steadily and unfinch-
ingly maintained their Unionism under all
circun stances and against all corners, de-
serve the highest praise. With the aid of
the loyal and patriotic colored vote they will
soon be able to obtain control, and thus add
to the sense of security and the prosperity
of City and County. The colored people of
Newbern aoiU be the first Of their race in the
State to uote under the Sherman act. We have
no doubt they will highly appreciate the
privilege, and that they will so exercise it as
to promote the good and glory OF their
country.
AS soon as Gov Wells, of Louisiana, heard
of the final passage of the Sherman act, he
proclaimed it the supreme law in his State,
and the result was the colored people were
at once entitled to vote Gov. Wells acted
in this matter like a statesman and patriot.
But Gov. Worth, instead of promptly sub
hitting himself to the law of the land and
issuing similar proclamation, posted off to
Washington to inquire what he should do,
and this with the law before him, which is
so plain that he who runs may read.
1t is the duty of Gov. Worth to obey the
Sherman act promptly or resign. The colored
people are going to vote, and it is idle in
Gov. Worth to attempt to postpone or deny
them this right.
