WESTOVER WELL.

The advance of Gen. Butler up the York and James rivers brings our troops back to the spot which will never be forgotten in the American Armies—West Point, the White House, Fort Powhattan, City Point, Harrison's Landing, the Chicahominy. Few of these points had a greater celebrity in the past than the Westover Mansion, near Harrison's Landing, which was renowned in the chivalrie days of Virginia as the scene of many interesting incidents. Its well, also famous, has been sketched, and deserves a place before all the relics of the bygone time have passed away.
