The late engagement at Aquia Creek.
--The Fredericksburg News says:‘ At the creek, on Friday, quite a sharp action took place between three of the enemy's war steamers and Walker's and Smith's batteries.
At half-past 4 P. M., two steamers were observed standing in for the mouth of the Potomac creek, and were very soon fired upon by Capt. Wm. Smith, who commands the main battery on that creek. In a minute the indefatigable and ever-ready Lindsay Walker was out with his guns and engaged the enemy, who now brought a third steamer into action directly with Walker. After a sharp cannonade of forty minutes, the steamers hauled off. None of our people were hurt. The enemy, as usual, received some hard knocks.
And the enemy's newspapers, as usual, deny it.
