The suspicious vessels off the North Carolina coast.

Wilmington, Sept. 25.
--The suspicious bark is still off New Inlet. Sometimes it appears to be a steamer, again a sailing vessel. Two steamers were yesterday seen off New Inlet; only one to-day.

Two or three pilots were destroyed off on Sunday last.

Six steamers were reported off Macon on Monday, but have since disappeared. It is the general belief that their destination is Cape Fear.

A reliable gentleman from New River, Onslow county, reports heavy firing on Monday last to the eastward from 9 A. M. till 1 P. M. Nothing more is known.
