The engagement at Aquia Creek. In a telegraphic dispatch from Washington to the Northern papers, under date of June 2d, a statement is given of Saturday's engagement at Aquia Creek, from First Lieutenant Thomas M. Cash, of the Federal steamer Freeborn. Its inaccuracy, so far as the damage to our battery is concerned, is apparent enough, while he doubtless understates the damage to the steamers: First Lieutenant Thomas M. Cash states that the Freeborn was engaged in the cannonading at Aquia Creek on Saturday from 11 o'clock A. M. until 4 P. M., during which time she fired 200 shot and shell, nearly every one of which did execution. During her three engagements with the enemy's battery, the Freeborn was struck with six shot, only one of which penetrated, and severely damaged one of the wheels. Another passed through the side, about twenty feet abaft the stem, cutting off one of the main deck beams, then striking a large knee and cutting it completely off, bolts and all.
