The Daily Dispatch: April 8, 1863., [Electronic resource], Attack on Washington, N. C. (search)
Attack on Washington, N. C. News reached Kinston, N. C., on the night of the 2d inst., to the effect that Gen. Hill made his appearance with his troops in front of Washington on the 2d, and demanded an immediate surrender of the town, by sending in a flag of truce; but the Yankees peremptorily refused to comply with the demand. Gen. Hill sent in a second flag of truce, notifying the non combatants of his intention to shell the place, and for them to vacate the town without delay. At the last accounts from that quarter Gen. Hill had planted his artillery at Rodman's farm on the south side of the Tar, and was shelling the town across the river.
