From North Carolina.

Raleigh, December 21.
--The business of the Legislature was brought to a close last night until the 19th of January next. The bill to raise ten thousand troops for State defence, from persons liable to conscription, was hotly debated in the Senate on Saturday. Its further consideration was postponed until the 20th of January, by a vote of yeas, 40; nays, 38.

Reliable information, last night, represents the Yankees falling back towards Newbern.
