Four Steamers appeared off Acquia Creek yesterday, two of whom commenced firing on the Confederate battery, which replied, with what effect could not be ascertained, as the steamers kept a respectable distance from shore. No damage to our side. The cars on the Fredericksburg Railroad that ought to have arrived at 2 o'clock, were detained to convey a number of Confederate troops from Fredericksburg to the Creek.
