Eastern North Carolina.

--An officer of Gen. Ransom's brigade, writing from Kinston, under date of the 17th, says:

‘ Everything is very quiet with us now.--There was cannonading below for about two hours this morning, but I suppose it amounted to nothing, as we have heard nothing from it. One of the refugees from Newbern says that his wife was told by the wife of one of the Yankee officers at Newbern that they lost 12 killed and 220 wounded in the fight at Gum Swamp.
