Reported Confederate triumph in North Carolina.
A report reached this city yesterday afternoon that our forces, after an obstinate fight on Tuesday succeeded in driving the enemy out of the town of Washington, N. C., and that we now hold the place.
Washington is in Beaufort county, at the mouth of Tar river, and in the heart of one of the richest agricultural sections of the State of North Carolina.
Large quantities of produce are said to be now in store in that region.
Of the particulars of the fight on Tuesday we were unable to learn anything; but the report is so well authenticated that we think there can be no doubt of its correctness.

The Siege of Washington, N. C. --gun Boats Driver back.
We have news from Washington, N. C., as late as Sunday.
Our troops have captured the enemy's batteries at Bill's situated on the banks of the Tar River, seven miles below the town, which position gives us an open field and a fair fight with the Yankee shipping.
Two gunboats, followed by several large transports loaded with troops from Newborn to reinforce Washington, attempted to run our blockade at Hill's Point on Friday, when they were fired upon by our batteries and so badly damaged as to be forced to put back.
They could not pass our guns, and at last accounts the enemy were landing troops below our works at Hill's Point.
In the attempt to go by the steamer Louisiana was sunk by our guns.
There are about 2,000 negroes in Washington, which the enemy tried to get off but failed.
The enemy have refused to surrender or allow the women and children to leave that place; so Gen. Hill, it is presumed, will shell the place
