FROM NORTH CAROLINA

The Charleston Courier OF yesterday has the
following:
.. "a friend who reached this city direct from
Newbern, N. c., ON Sunday, informs us that it
was currently and nfidently reported in New
bern. .Toh Friday, that the IN vaders under Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler, had attacked Portsmo nth,
Oregon Inlet Oeracocke and Beacon Island.
burning all the buildings, and destroying every
thing as far ms possible:
"The inhabitants along or near the coast cx-
peeted the rnarauding and plundering in vaders
to extend their efforts as for ne Beaufort and
Fort Macon. P PREPARATIONS were busted in
sending off non.combatants and movable pro
Rer,y towards the interior. and gathering
forces to, meesand repel or check the plum
,derers and thieves. a. Two regiments, (Cois.
Campbell and singletary.l each 1000 strong,
had reached Newbern.
whether fully confirmed or not by subse-
quent advices, these reports arc probable and
,charactcriatically prophetic of what may be
expected whensver,nnd wherever the Lincoln
fordes are permitted topollute Southern soil.
Let our friends alialong,t the coast take warn
ing in time, and sptepareain prudence to leave
the assailants nnd prepare in prudence to leave
the aasaiisnts and invaders as little margin as
possiblefor their. destructive yandal,s,,. and to
