The Charge ofA man by the name of Vank.irk was re
ported in the Chronicle of last Thursday,
to have made use of the following lan
guage. Referring to the borough of Eliza
therebet, heWe are all ers up
; we have skulked from the skulk begin
ning of the war, and intend to skulk to
the end of it." We have two letters from
gentlemen in Elizabeth which put a differ
ent face on' the matter. They state that
the little borough of Elizabeth has sent
one hundred and thirty-three men, her vo
tingpopulation being only seventy-seven.
Last fall when the draft was made she was
called the banner district, having given
seventy-three men over her quota. Our
correspondent s are very indignant at the
slim cast upon their borough, and do not
speak very complimentary of their tradu

gaged in raising a cavalry company in
Elizabeth.
important Postal Regulation.

of the most essential facts in each ease.
When doubts exist as to the truthfulness

complaining. At the close of each quar

which shall remain at that time onaccount

The Althot OH Well.
Considerable interest has been felt for a
week or two in the result of the Althof
Oil Well, located at Erie. Pa. After hav
ing attained a depth of 656 feet a very en
couraging "show' of oil was found, and
measures were adopted to test the extent
of the supply. The flow of gas and water
was strong and incessant. An inch and
a-quarter tube was let down the well one
day last week, with a "seed bag" attached
to the lower end of the pipe, and after it
had reached a depth of over throe
Bred feet the flow of water was par—
tiaily stopped and gas accompanied with
a small quantity of oil was discharged.—
Presently the seed bag burst and water
again posed from the well. The tube was
withdrawn and replaced with another seed
bag, the latter ii‘ving been Ist down 400
feet below the supply and stopping the
flow of water. Since than the well has
been blowing gas, with a strzsng pressure,
to the full capacity of the tube. If oil
does not follow this discharge of gas, it is
the intention of the operators to withdraw
the tube and drill 50 feet deeper, which,
they think, will tap the oil to a certainty

capturing a number of horses, and ret urn•

fantry and a battery of artillery were in
Hagerstown yesterday. Six thousand
infantity is reported to have crossed at
Williamsport, but it is not believed that
they will visit Fiederiek. The enemy has
nearly 6,000 Infantry this side of the Po•

of Infantry and a squadron of cavalry aro
at Sharpsburg and the remainder are en
camped between Williamsport and Hagers
town. No artillery has been sent over, nor
have any troops crossed since yesterday
morning. Gen. Ewell has lett Williams
port and gone towards the main body.
His command is ststioLed at Charleston.
Lee's army is not hewn to be within
supporting distanee of Ewell. It is very
probable that the rebel force now in Mary

The cavalry force numbers about 1,200,

WASHINGTON. June 2.1..—1 he following
report has been received at the Navy De•
partment :
FLAG SIM' WABASH,
PORT ROYAL HARBOR, June lab.
Sin: I have the honor to report to the
Department, that on the night of the fifth
inst., a steamer attempted to run out of
Charleston. She was turned back by the
I Vissahickon, which vessel pursued her
over the bar, tiring at her repeatedly. The
steamer was sunk from subsequent infor
mation from deserters from Charleston,
whom I send North by the Massachusetts.
There is reason to believe the vessel was
the Isaac SMith. I have further to report
that on the night of the 10th inst., another
steamer attempted to run the blockade
into Charleston by the Sanford Channel.
She was fired at by several of the vessels,
but in the darkness eluded them. OD
the next morning at daylight she was dis
covered at the North end of Folly Island
on fire, which however, did not destroy
the vessel. She was a large side wheel
steamer and is supposed by Commodore
Turner to be the Havelock, but this is
t y(t certainly ascertained.
Very respectively your obe't serv't,
Signed, S. F. Durorr i .
Rear Admiral Commanding South Atlan
tic Squadron. •

Information reached headquartera this
afternoon of a fight at or near Aldie yes
terday, between a portion of Gen. Pleas
anton's cavalry and the rebel cavalry. The
latter were forced to retire:, Eight tams
and between sixty and .seventy men were
captured by our forces. The-prisoners
are reported to be on their
_way to this I
city.
Aldie is in London county, ten .miles
south west of Leesburg, and in the gap
between the Bull Run and Kittoctan moan:
tains.
The New York Times has the following:
A dispatch from Gen. Hooker's army,
dated the 16th, informs us 'that the army
_was then at and• near the - old Bull Rnn
battleground. The 8d corps arrived at Ma
nassas Junction on Monday morning; Abe
Ist and 11th were at Centreville and the 2d
sth, Gth and 12th were expected to
arrive on Monday night. By
.Tuesday
noon it was expected tht army would be
all together. The cavalry, during the
movement from Fredericksburg, bad been
operatingon the flanks, and'hia done in
valuable service as scouts. Gen. Gregg's
command was at Warrenton and White
Sulphur Springs; Gen. Duffle's (late Gen.
Averill's) was at the base of the Blue
Ridge, near Ashby's Gap, and Gen. Br:
ford's held Thoroughfare Gap. Many I
prisoners were reported to have been cap
tared by the cavalry, who also brought
away no mberless contrabands, from whom
linvaluable information hai been obtienee.
Among the prisoners captured_ 'is Ca_p-
I Lain Hutchins, of Stuart's cavalry. He
was with General Twiggy in Texas when
Twiggy surrendered his command and the
government property.
Among the most important seizures
made by our cavalry has been that of a
bag containing mail matter—letter I writ
ten by the rebel soldiers and addressed to
their friends in the South. Not only were
the bag and its contents captured, but also
the parties who had it in charge, thus
breaking up a mail route that has doubt--
less been in constant operation for a con
siderable length of time. Among the let
ters captured was one written by an aid to
General Longetreet to his wife living in.
Alabama. Atter talking of family mat-
ters, the writer goes on to tell what, is
the object of their movement North. He
says that they will ultimately send a caval
ry force into Pittsburgh and sack and burn
the town, while their infantry are to
