Capt. Roberts Coles.

The remains of this gallant officer, who was killed at Roanoke Island, reached this day last evening, and will be conveyed this evening to Albemarle. Born and educated North, although the descendant of a Virginia family, this gentleman raised and ped, partly at his own expense, a splendid company as soon as Virginia was invaded; and, although cut off from his re es by the war, he nobly devoted his pay comfort of his company. The war furnished no instance of greater patriotism than that presented by this noble young , who has sealed his devotion to the of his adoption with his blood.
