Washington, N. C. (North Carolina, United States) (search for this): article 2
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
