From' last Break’s Venango Spectator,
we clip the following items: Mr. Funk, op
erating on the MoElhaoyfarovQil ereslfc eight
miles from themouth, -.struck a fountain veint
last week, at a depth of 400 feet. Large
quantities of oil were instantly thrown oat
and the stream, continued for about two days,
before subsiding: flißing no Vessels to-re
ceive it, the greater portiomof this oil was lost
—say three-fourths. The farm belonga to Dr.
Haldeman, of Ohio, one of the proprietors of
tho'Bnchanan farm, and is in what has here
tofore been known as the - “ Dry Region.”—
This is, undoubtedly, a first class well.
Riley & Co, of Cleveland, on the Pope
farm, 4 miles down the river, tapped a good
vein of oil, oh Friday last, at a depth of 312
feet. They gather 80. barrels of 611 in 12
hoars, by voluntary flow, and are making pre
parations to pump,
Raymond & Underhill, on - the Allegheny,
opposite the month of Pilhole, struck a good
vein on Friday last, at A depth of 276 feet—
This is the third or fourth'vein struck in ihelr
well and it will be in pnmping operation soon.
Dr. Christy & Co, on the Clapp farm;
Btrnck a heavy vein of oil on Thursday last,
at a depth of 810 feet ■ They commenced
pumping on Saturday at the rate of four bar
rels per hoar.
The new well of the Oorplanter company, on
the Clapp farm is, perhaps, the best In the
region. It is on Oil creek, a ahort distance
from the mouth, and 820 feet deep. The first
fourteen days of its running 1,600 barrels of.
oil werepnt up, and It is now yielding 100’
barrels In 24 hours.. As a tangible fact of its
yield, the company has now in store, at Pitts
burgh, 2,000 barrels' of oil from thta well alone.
The Michigan Rock Oil Company, under
the superintendences! M. W. Kelsey, Esq.,
have completed their Refinery at Oil City,
mouth of Oil creek, and it li nowln full opera
tion, producing arefined oil of superior quality.
This fa a move in the right'direction. A few
establishments like this In the oil region, and
we shall no longer be at the-mercy of the
sharks of the oil trade.

overnight. ‘Rat.tail’ files were used for the
purpose by parties engaged in the on war
rantable act, and the job was so cinnplete thAt
it is lhought the guns win have to be sent back
for the purpose of re-boring the touch holes.

BnaoLAhs nr ALLxaHMrT.—On Friday

hardware dealer, located in the Becond Ward;
Allegheny, near the outer depot, was bur
glariously entered and ransacked,but with the
exception of a.dress. coat and some smaller ar
tleles, nothing was taken The aameparty, It
is supposed, entered’ the residence of E. D.
Johnston, boat builder, in the same vioLnlty,
aqd helped himself to a few artlolee of dress;
The door wss unlocked by means of an “out*

came to Mr. Godfrey's house in the evening,
representing that be was without money and
hungry. He was provided with supper, after
whioh he left the premises.

Hdn. Win. F. Johnston, from the Executive
Committee, reported that they had! agreed. in
Conjunction with the Committee on Home De

In relation to the soldiers Bhirts seized here en
route for Savannah, as contraband of wqr, and
a bale ol red flannel seized with 1 * the same,
he reported that the boose who shipped-the
flannel,, in New York, had claimed the value
of this flannel, someslBo, and desired the com
mittee either to pay for -it (having; beenuseff
by the ladies) or refnsß.to do so. tp giycthqni'

his claim in the hands of. an, attorney, for suit.
A subcommittee had been appointed & inform
the attorney thatlfltsble thecommittee would
pay, but if the shirts were contr&baiid of whf,
they would refuse., Qsv. .Johnston said he did
not think that any lawyer would dare to bring
suit in this matter; if he did he would run
great risk of hanging.

are now affording relief to 602 families, (ah
increase of 90 since last week.), The total

cash, $625 in groceries, 529.60 In dry goods
and 1950 bushels coal. The committee bad
received $B,OOO in cash from . the Finance
Committee. The report was accepted, ap.
proved and filed.
i Hon. P O. Shannon, chairman of the Oom*
mitteo on Home Defense, reported the reshlt
of the regimental elections, which we have al.
ready published, and read the plan of holding
an election for Major and. Brigadier Generals,
which will be found in our columns.
The report of the committee was, after
some discussion, finally adopted.
The following, offered by Mr. Cass, was
adopted:
% EetoLved, That the committee en Home
Defense be instructed to report to the next
regular meeting of this committee a plan
for designating the order of rank of the sev
eral Brigadier Geo rals and Colonels.
’Thecommittee,(hpn adjourned to meet on
next Saturday afternoon at three o’clock.
Aslar as wears aware, no. particular pains
have ,beeh;Used to perfect thf men ,no w :orgaji- E
izlng for active service in fbe’severarencamp
inentsof this. State.ln the use of the rifle or
rifled muskets placed in their'hands. Most
of the volunteers have some experience
with the rifle, and others are expert marks
men. We wish to direct attention to the :
following facts .presented by NewLYo.-k
Evening Post, showing the .Immense.impor
tance of BharpShOotlng AcCording to sc
counts of firing kept in the late ltalian war,
it is said to require not less than two hundred
and seventy pounds of tead'ko ’iltl’a *Jnirf- 4 nf
battle. Ana yet, Into the regiment of crack
rifle shot* which it U proposed to raise in New
York city, no man .will be admitted who can-,
not hit en enemy at least once in three times
at the distance of half a mile; snd so thorough
ly are English light infantry troops now pi ac
tlced in the Use of the Minis and Enfield ri
fles that a party of thirty skirmishers will be
able to destroy a battery -of light artillery ..at,
eight hundred yards distance (nearly half a
mile) in one minute.
Thu battles of the revolution were gained
by the rifle; and American troops have id ways
retained a name among the armies of the
world for excellent marksmanship. In the
Italian war each man killed cost four thousand
two hundred rounds of ball cartridge. At tho
battle of Vtotorie, in the Peninsular war,eight
hundred balls were fired for each man killed.
At the battle of Oherubusco the Mexloans
"killed one of onr men for every eight hundred
rounds they fired, while the Americans killed
one for every one hundred and twenty-five
rounds.
Tbe value of good shooting in aqtion cannot
be overrated!, and every general who hai com
manded lit battle has felt the benefit of large
partierof-zktraJshenr, picked men, whohover
oa the outskirts of battle, and; With unerring
aim pick off the enemy in detail. The mere
knowledge that they are thus marked by men
who have only to aim to make death certain Is
often quite sufficient to make tbe enemy’s force
waver, in an important position; and with
Minle or Enfield rifles s regiment of dead shots
would he quite able to cope with . and: render
useless the enemy’s field artillery.
We allude .to this beo&usewe desire to Im
press upon those who superintend theorgani
z&tion of reserve corps in various States the
importance of establishing every shore, com
pany target practioe; and encouraging by every
means citizen* of all age* to msketbemselyes
expert in the use of the rifle.,, ..Injno that) two
years the English , becpuib'.e .nation of
marksmen; and setting MldeTthe: Immense in*,
of ease in effeoUveness.jrhleh-theyihave thus
gained In case of war, the mere-feeling of eon*
fldenca with whiob troops thus practiced will
go into battle b in Itself a moral force whloh
cannot be overrated.
We are not lifcely to laettmeo to maintain
tbe Union against all enemies that may com#;,
but everybody desires that this war may be
short and sharp; and to make It bo, nothing
as ,tb haxeh'very roldlsr_a,dßaa
shot, and every .regiment* regiment of sharp
shooters. * Those whoare now la, the held will
have tp perfefcfthfcr practice In' battle; bit
for those -who-reniiaih -at • home and await a
further call; there is time, still to make them
selves more effectivß for their country's service.
Let us have rifle galleries and ahootlng matcbes
in every city, town, village and country heigh*
borhood, throughout the, copntry;, and with
proper encouragement Vb shall 1 sobn be a na
tion of crack shots. —Harrisburg Patriot and.

A bdmob prevailed In the city on Saturday
that the Pittsburgh rifles had been ordered to
Wheeling, but it proved unfounded. It proba

Alkxandbia, June I.—The steamer Gip
sey, from Darlington, via Port Washington
arrived
Sbe left the fort at 10 o’clock this evening
and brings information that the engagement
with the rebels at Acqaia Creek yesterday re
sulted in the steamerß Preeborn and Anacastia
retiring after a severe fight, in which, it is
■aid, a number were killed on both aides.
The steamer* retired to await (he arrival o£
the Pawnee.
The latter, on reaching Port Washington,
was detained to await the transport to Balti
more with troops, supposed to' be the 71st New
York Regiment.
On the arrival of the latter they proceeded
down the river in company.
The 4th Pennsylvania Regiment has arrived
horo.
Three wounded dragoons have been brought
here on a wagon from the neighborhood of the
Fairfax Court House.
Washington, June I.— l 16 p. Capt.
Dahlgreen forwarded a despatch to theSeoretary
of the Navy, stating that this Jtfernoon a bat
tery at Acquia creek opened fire' on tbfe U. 8.
vessels Water Witch, Anacosta and Preeborn.
Report says the vessels responded,‘and the fir
ing on both sides was brisk. "One’ of the bat
teries was silenced after more, than an hoar’s
firing, when the U. B. forces suddenly became
short of ammunition and hauled off.
A steamer was immediately despatched to
the Navy Yard for a full supply of powder and
shot. ttbe has arrived. The pawnee and an
other vessel has returned and-will arrive there
by 12 o’clock to-night with an abundant sup
ply of war materials, so that firing upon the
battery will be re-opened in the morning.
This engagement must have nccured after
tbe Cataline passed Acqaia creek, at 2 p. m.
The report la that none were killed or wounded
on board tbe U. 8. vessels.
A gentleman arrived to-day from Portress
Monroe, reports that when he left yesterday,
460 slaves had arrived at the fort, and they
stated that a general uprising of the slave
popnlation was expected.
Gen. Butler wss to await further reinforce
ments before moving further into the enemy’s
country.
Washington Citt, June I.—B o’clock r.jt
—Br the arrival at the Navy Yard of the
steamer Resolute, Lieut. Bndp commanding,
we hcvefuß particulars of the attack on the'
b-tteHes at Acquia Greek yesfeday morning.
The Freedom, Captain Ward, -opened fire on
the ferry boat Page, lying at tbe right of the
depot. The second round wh* flredat the de
pot buildings, and the third across the bow of
the Page By this time three batteries had
opened on the Preeborn, supported by the gun
boat Taylor. As soon as the vessels had fixed
their range they commenced firing shell with
marked effect, several of them falling into
the batteries. In a few minutes their small
batteries were completely silenced. Tbe main
battery on the hill, supposed to be armed with
ten rlfied cannon, now opened a terrific fire
upon the fliftilla, to which the Preeborn and
Anacosta replied with considerable effect. The
Anacosta took up a pasUion,>nd played upon
tno depot with rapidity, firfng thirteen shells,
three of them taking effect and causing much
consternation among the rebels. The Reso*
lute did not use the gnus,.owing to tbe fact
that their eaiitre was too small to do effective,
service. Only one shot struck the flotilla. It
was a ricochet shot, striking the Freeborn on
the gunwale, and passing over one of tbe sail
or’s srme, doing him no harm—then, striking
a gun-carriage U fell upon the deck. No one
was killed or wounded on our side. On the
rebel side tbe damage was considerable, aa
men were seen eonveylttgihe dead and wound
ed to placet of safety. We have no means of
knowing the exact loss on the rebel side. At
ten minutes of twelve o’clock the firing ceased
and the flotilla hauled «ff
The Resolute arrived tore at noon,having in
tow a coal boat to obtain fuel for the squad
ron.
PITTSBURGH.
The Pawnee vu posted last night en route
tor the late scene of aotion.
The flotilla Is at anchor within five miles
of Acqula Creek.
It is believed to be impossible to silence the
third battery, as it is of rifled oannon, without
a landing force.
Ai.kx andsia, June I.—A sentinel aLOloud’s
mills, on the outskirts of Alexandria, was shot
and killed 'ast nigt, and another wounded, it is
supposed by rebel scouts.
A, river oraftsman who arrived late last
night, reports having heard continuous firing
in the dtrootion of Acqula Creek.
The hope entertained by many at the North
that secession would dwindle away before the
United Stales forces, and loyalty reise its head,
is noo reassured by interviews had with the
proqnnent citizens of Alexandria, who express
tbeig/grievanoes in the strongest language.
Thtrofflcers of the command heie exert thorn,
selves to the utmost to create a bettor feeling,
with only partial success. The' experience
gained from this occupation will doubtless lead
to great discrimination in the future selection
of the troops. For this purpose, Col. Stone,
while in command here, gained great favor
among the oitizens for his efforts to subdue
some unruly spirits among the military, whose
conduct had an injurious effect on the success
tul dissemination of Union principles.
There are many unsatisfactory rumors afloat
with reference to the movemehtsofGen.'Lee.
The present unprotected state, of Alexandria
assures many, as it Is not believed that the
movements of the rebels will be so conducted
as to unnecessarily hazard the lives of Souths
ern women and children, and the property of
Sonthern citizens.
It it not likely that there will be a moment's
warning of any engagement thit may oocur.
This uncertainty breaks the rest of officers,
soldiers, and civilians. Your reporter slept
standing last night, with a trusty sentinel by
hie side to awaken him on the first alarm. ’
There was Borne uneasiness last night, butit
passed off without any alarm.

an eager crowd of soldiers and civilians whom
he indulged to a hand shaking performance
until the presure beedins so Croat that he was
compelled to retire to the balcony of the exe
cutive department; whersi fn response to the
demands of the assemblage, -he delivered a
brief and pertinent speech. Ex-senator Wig

with brief speeches in response to the eall of
the crowd, the President and suite 1 Jtrbceeded
to the adjoining parade ground where a review
of the troops took place.
Habeisbubo, June Ist—A scout that left

Washington Gitt, June I.—Alt orders
for the movements of the troops are cautious

proper, and what is known of them can there
