On the day of the second engagement at Aquia Creek, reports like those from cannon were heard at several points in Augusta county. There is no heavy ordnance located anywhere near the last- named locality, and it is surmised that the sound was from the firing at the Creek. This, however, seems hardly possible. Augusta county, Va., has now thirteen organized companies, twelve of which are in actual service, and others are in progress of formation.
