FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA CoAsT--The
Richmond Dispatch Of the 10th says:
Passengers from North Carolina reported
at the passport Office yesterday that the enc

ing their way along the coast, with the view,
it is conjectured, of effecting landing in

of the Federals on board the transpor; is l5,-

Death Of Erwin Starr.

New HAVEN, Ky. Dec. 18th '6l.
Our Camp correspondent, Chas. R. Har-
mon, speaks Of the death of Erwin Starr, of
Rowland. Samuel King, Esq, of that
township, in whose family Starr formerly
lived. has received a letter from Capt. Hall,
from which We make the following extracts:
The Regiment marched from the noun
tain the 18th of November. At that time
Starr was too sick to march, and we had
no transportation for the sick. He. there
fore. had to be left. l left him with great
reluctance, although 10 one considered him
dangerous. l had, uptO that time, had no
man IN the Hospital, but taken care of
my own sick and cured them all. He was
left in a good, dry, warm building, with
some Is others, all of whom have recovered
and re-joined the Regiment. l took every
precaution to know that he was supplied
with all the comforts be could need, and /
had not the slightest doubt be would soon
be on to join us. l had only arrived at
the mountain upon my return from Ohio
on the 10th, and hence had but little op-
~pOrtunity to know his exact condition. 1t
appears that he had been on a p%erilous
scout across the mountains, in the rear Of
the rebel camp, and together with the four
others with him, been two terrible cold and
stormy nights, without fire, and took a
severe cold. From this came his sickness
and death. He has, therefore, died in the
service. He was a good soldier, always
ready to do his duty, and the braVest of
the brave. He was with me in tUo battles,
to wit: at Cheat Mountain" Sept. 18th,
and ''Grecnbriar," Oct. Sd. He has stood
by my side, when the cannon balls and
bomb shells fell thick and fast, covering
IS with dirt. He never finched in the
hour Of danger. He was one of the four
who carried Fuller off the field at Green
briar when stricken down by a six pound
shot, and returned promptly to his post,
through a shower of ball and bomb. His
bravery will never be forgotten by his cOn-
rades who witnessed it."
"The Company mourns his loss with
great SORROW. If he was to die, it is an
additional pans that he xasLsepaFatea
from us, thus preventing US from giving
him, ourselves, the soldiers burial. He
was buried by the troops on the mountain,
the sd Ohio, 25th Ohio and 9th Indiana
regiments. The Surgeon will take care of
his effects, and when he rejoins US l will
fully report"

SEpAIIA. Dec. 20. 1861.

SEDAIIA. Dec. 20, 1861.
Col. Palmer's brigade arrived here last
night, and Gen'l Pope is expected to-day.
All the information from the west and
north is to the effect that no efforts have
been spared to give Price an amply supply
of clothing for the winter. All, or nearly
all, Of this has fallen, or will fall, into our
hands. Nearly 200 heavily laden wagons
are already in Out possession, together with
a large quantity of ammunition, arms, a
thousand horses, tents, camp ~equippage, &c,
and between 1900 and 1000 recruits have
been taken prisoners.
Major Hubbard, of the lst Missouri
Cavalry, has captured over sixty rebel re-
cruits within the past few days, killed sew
eral others, and taken a considerable num-
Der of tents, several wagons, a quantity of
baggage and arms, and burned a mill which
had been supplying the rebels for some time
past Altogether the rebellion has received
a terrible shock in this section of the
country within the past week.
1t is thought By many that Price will
cross the Usage to assist his Generals, Stein
and Slack, who are now in the river coun-
ties with 1000 or 5000 men to escort re-
cruits and supplies to their main camp at
Osccola. If he does he will be compelled
to stand a general engagement, in which
exent there is no question whatever but
that he will be badly defeated and his army
entirely scattered.
