FIGHT AT ACQUTA CiEEK.
Special CORRESPONDENCE Of the Dispata

FkbDSRicKsBURG, Jne l. 1901.
DEAR DISPATCH I have lasret,rned from
our batteries at Aequia Creek where I wit
messed ae nights Of Yesterday I'D to-day, be-
tween four or five q. s. stesnies and our bat
terv at the Creek.
On Thursday evening last for IT. s.. steam
ers, one Of them the "Anseota," were seen
lying of maryland Point.o and our brsve
boys anticipating a brush, prepared at once to
give them a warm reception.
On Friday morning, about % O'Clock, the
"Anscosta" and three other Jteams.s were
seeh to get under way, and approaching With
In two and hslf miles Of tbs iattery, opened
fire on it. Our boys promptly responded, and
the fire was continued FOR an hour snd a bali
between the steamers and the battery, WHEN
Walkers aying artillery, supported By the R.
L. |. blues, Capt. Wise. OF youi city, came up
with run from Marlboro Poiit, and opened
on the stssmers, the FIRE con'inuhg for an hour
and 4 half. During the engagement several
men were seen to fall on the ssamsrs, and it
is generally believed that at last one OF the
vessels WAS badly injured, as al Of them With
drew from the fight about 4 o'sIock. During
the engagement a shot from 4 rife piece on
one Of the steamers passed over our battery,
ahoCt 200 yards over head, AMI fell two miles
IN re7r. The taen in the battery sustained no
injury, the only damsge done being the tearing
10 p eess cf the officers quarters by a shell
from the ensmY's gun.
To-day, about II O'Clock, the Anacosta, =
large three masted steam propeller, supposed
TO be the Pawnee, and four other vessels came
In sight, three Of the steamers opening on our
battery. The fight was continued for six
hours, the vessels firing five hundred and nine
tv-Dine shot a. Ne without doing the slightest
injury, notwithstanding the fact that be shell
fell thick as hail around our battery, and one
OF than passed through a port hols and ex-
plodei IN our midst. 0ur battery fired one
hundred shots, many Of which took effect on
The vessels, one Of them carrying away the
nag Of the Anarosts, and another cutting
down the mast Of the large propeller The
last shot fired WAS from one Of Walkers rife
pieces, which ricochetted and struck the large
steamer Just above the water line, Immediately
after which the feet got under way and moved
of. probably To repair damages
During the fight our men were as cool as ice
beres, every one exhibiting a bravery sDd de-
termination that would nave done credit to
veteran soldiers.
During the two days fight none Of cur men
were killed, and only one Of them slightly in
jqred-not enough to prevent bis taking part
IN the fight. Should the enemy attempt to IF
feet = landing at the creek hereafter. Won will
then learn with certainty that somrbody has
been hurt. RICHMOND.
