From North Carolina--immense preparations of the enemy.

Charleston, Jan. 8.
--The following has just been received from Kinston, North Carolina, dated to-day:

The enemy beyond doubt is making immense preparations for an advance. Reinforcements are daily arriving from Suffolk. The Yankees at Morehead City and Newbern are 50,000 strong, under command of Foster, Beast Butler is not there. They will probably attack Charleston, Wilmington, Weldon, and Goldsboro', simultaneously, to prevent reinforcements leaving either place. It is reported that they are now cooking marching rations.

The Passaic (iron-clad) was towed into harbor at Beaufort, N. C., disabled, having lest her turret and guns, and leaking so badly that her pumps were kept going constantly. The steamer which towed the Monitor has not been heard from. The consternation at the loss of vessels is great.
