Named Entity Results, Aquia Creek (Virginia, United States)

-She is evidently regarded as the head and front of the secession movement. We are menaced at Norfolk. Hampton is taken, and Newport News occupied. The York River is constantly threatened. Ships are continually presenting themselves at Acquia Creek. The whole line of the Potomac is held under strict and jealous espionage. Alexandria is seized upon, and all the approaches and heights surrounding are carefully manned and strengthened. Harper's Ferry is threatened from Pennsylvania. Whehe has designs upon Norfolk, there our men are impatient to receive him. If he prefers to make his demonstrations against Richmond by the peninsula of York, we have forces there to meet him and eager to dispute his march. We have a battery at Acquia Creek which insults his every vessel that passes; and there, too, our troops are spoiling for a fight. His heavy column at Alexandria does not dismay our men who have planted themselves a few miles distant in his road, ready to give him battle in a

Fight at Aquia Creek.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch] Fredericksburg, June 1st, 1861. Dear Dispatch: I have just returned from our batteries at Aquia Creek, where I witnessed the fights of yesterday and to-day, between four or five U. S. steamers and our battery at the Creek. On Thursday evening last four U.

Our boys promptly responded, and the fire was continued for an hour and a half between the steamers and battery, when Walker's Flying Artillery, supported by the R. L. I. Blues, Capt. Wise, of your city, came up with a run from Marlboro' Point, and opened on the steamers, the fire continuing for an hour

nsequences! That there is a plan on foot here for the murder of the Southern President, I have not a shadow of a doubt. From all I can learn here, I am satisfied that the authorities in your city, and throughout Virginia, are entirely too liberal with their passes for foreigners and strangers.--Scarcely an hour passes that some fresh arrival from the South is not announced to the Lincolnites of this place, many of them having plans of the works at Harper's Ferry, Manassas Junction, Acquia Creek, and along the York and Potomac rivers, and many of them being able to give the number of soldiers at each point, the strength of our batteries, the names of commanders, and the most accessible routes by which to attack them. If this liberality --this suicidal looseness of management — is to continue, the consequences may be serious, before we are aware of it. Without presuming to dictate to our leaders, may I not be allowed to suggest to them the impropriety of allowing any others than
