red until daylight, will not surprise the garrison. We are pleased to hear that they are well prepared for an assault, and will resist with a determination and daring worthy of the glorious cause in which they are engaged. Fort Macon commands the entrance to Beaufort harbor, and is said to be the most formidable fortification on the North Carolina coast. It was reported in Goldsboro' last night that the Yankee pirates had burned the flourishing and spirited little town of Washington, in Beaufort county, but the report needed confirmation. We may add, it was generally discredited. Active preparations on the defensive still continue all over the State, and every man in it is prepared to die in defence of his native soil if necessary.
