Aquia Creek (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 9
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 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 shosteamer Freeborn, Potomac River, June 1, 1861. Sir: I have the honor to report a renewal of the bombardment at Aquia Creek, commencing at 11 o'clock and 30 minutes in the forenoon this day, and terminating, from fatigue of the men — the day

I proceeded to Washington to repair damages and refill my exhausted magazine. The Pawnee remains, meantime, below to supply my place in the blockade. Captain Rowan, of that ship, joined me last night, replenishing my exhausted stores, and most gallantly opened the fire this morning,.having followed my lead in shore towards the batteries. His ship received numerous wounds, both below and aloft, inflicted by the enemy's shot. On account of her size, she being more easily hit, she appeared to be their favorite mark, and was herself often a sheet of flame, owing to the rapidity o
Marion Hill (Pennsylvania, United States) (search for this): article 9
The city handsand carts are employed at the defensive works now being created at Marion Hill. In view of the necessary absence of the force, it is hoped that citizens will promptly attend to the cleansing of gutters opposite houses occupied by them. Should this suggestion be generally followed, the health of the city, very good at this time, as the doctors assure us, will be preserved. The rain which has fallen very copiously at times during the past eight days, has acted in an eminent degree as a purifier. It could not have fallen at a more opportune season.
