= IT NEVER DRIES UP.-I was staying at a vii
lage on the Welsh coast, where the people
had to bring all their water from a well. Not
single house had pump At all hours of
the day, but chiefly before breakfast and be-
fore tea time, little feet and great-often I'M
shod, but very active-might be seen, in any
numbers, passing along a narrow lane, with
every kind of pitcher, kettle or can, 20 fresh
water well Not very Trustworthy friend,
after all, was this village well.
,'Is this we'll ever dry ?" inquired of girl
"Dry? Yes, maam, very often in hot
weather"
And where, in such ease, do you go for
water >"
ITO the spring, little way out of the vii
lage."
''An5if the spring fails, what do you do
theng"
''Why, we go to the well higher up-the
best water of all" -
& But what would YOU do in ease the well
higher up failed2"
why, ma'am, that never dries up-never
1t is always the same, in winter as well as in
summer"
went to see this precious well that never
dried up. 1t was clear, sparkling rivulet,
coming down from the high hills-not with
torrent leap and roar but with the steady flow
and soft murmur of fullness and freedom. 1t
flowed down to the highwayside. 1t was
within reach of every child's little pitcher 1t
was enough for every empty vessel. The ewes
and lambs have trodden down g little path to
its brink. The thirsty beasts of Burden, along
the dusty road, as could see by their tracks
knew the way to the bountiful well that never
dried up.
1t reminded me of the waters of life and
salvation, flowing from the & Rock Of Ages"
and brought within the reach of all men by
the gospel of Jesus Christ. Every other brook
may go dry in the days of drouth and adyer-
sity but this heavenly spring never ceases to
how.@
Without waiting until earth's waysidebrooks
shall fail let us all hasten at. once, with hearts
athirst, to the heavenly well (which never
dries up"

The Peace Democrats of New York.

That staunch friend of America, the Lon
don Neocs, lets in to the London Times and its
New York friends, who are also Gov. SEY-
MoUR's friends, in the following manner:
We may fairly ask the Times what it now
| thinks of its allies in New York They have
shown-not changed-their quality; what
does our contemporary think of them now?
For three months the ruffians of New York
who choose to call themselves "Peace De
mocracy," have been the only paxty in the
whole North for whom the Times has had a
civil word to say. Their spirit has inspired
its New DIRK correspondent and their row
dy orators have been extOlled in its leading
articles as the only wise and patriotic men in
the Free States. Stunned and loathed by
respectable Americans Of every party the
leaders of these pretended 'Peace Demo
Gratis have figured in the columns of the
Times as the only men who can save America,
if that indeed be possible.
The Times has occasionally way of affect
ing ignorance of the commoNest facts But
| IT the Times does not know who it's New Y ork
friends are, there are many thousands of Eng
| lishmen who do. We have known these
Peace Democrats many years, under vari-
| Gus Names and the wonder is, not that they
| have now risen to murder unoffe Dding citizens
and burn down houses, but that they did not do
so at much earlier period of this war They
have been the vilest accomplices and most
! degraded tools of the Pro Slavery party both
IN the North and the South. They are the
men who formerly used to break up the Anti
Slavery meetings, and pursue the most en-
| minent men Of the Abolition party with
threats of assassination. They are the men
| by whose aid and protection New York few
years ago became the chief port of the world
| from which ships issued to carry on the pi-
ratical slave trade. Mr. Lincoln's Govern
ment has inflicted some very heavy blows on
their interests.
| 1t has broken up or driven away their slave
expeditions, and it hanged Capt. Gordon
1t is astonishing that they endured this hard
trial. The hour has come for them to render
last service to their old friends. 1t is now
or never. The CONSUMPTION supplied them
with the pretext for raising the mob and caus-
ing confusion at home and shame abroad
And that it was no more than pretext every
feature Of the riot shows. The mob burned
down the Colored Orphan Asylum, destroyed
| several negro houses, and attacked every ne
gro they could reach-kiling considerable
number, and, it is said, burning one to death
These performances, with the attack on the
Office of the n. 7. Tribune, fix the specific
character of the riot, and show who were en-
! gagged in it.

Ccnseripts on the March.

Seymour's unwilling men," as he calls the
drafted, are reaching the Army of the Poto-
mae at the rate of a thousand day. and they
go forward, we are told, in excellent spirits.
Writing of the important services those
men will render, the New York Times has the
following + .-.E ... -Er- SIS
A thousand conscriDts dav, and the vol
ume constantly increasing The ranks ofthe
army viii soon be filed up at this rate. The
shadowy regiments viii soon be full bodied
The skeleton brigades will quickly swell out
to their proper size of four full regiments
The divisions and corps will be proportion
ately enlarged; and the whole army, strength
ened by this influx of vitality, inspired by
this fresh and lively spirit, will feel itself
ready for harder work and new campaigns.
The conscripts, it is said, go in excellent
cheer, and they are doubtless gladly welcomed
in the army by their veteran comrades. Both
parties will be benefited by the association.
The raw recruits will learn soldering from
the experience, of the veterans and the vete-
rams will learn from the new arrivals the spirit
and determination of the country They will
see that though they have borne the burden
any heat of the day, tens of thousands OF
their countrymen are still willing to aid them
in their efforts. Their burdens will be light
ened, their confidence increased, their hopes
and their patriotism frightened and fresh
ened. s

WISCONSIN, DEMncp ,r1ctn -CnNTFN

Wisconsin DEMocRATIcn CONTENTION
The convention of the sore-headed, slavery
loving opponents of the Government in Wis
consin, which met at Madison on the 9Th,
have put a full State ticket of the mostin-
tense partisan stripe, in the field, and which
bears very evident ear-marks of disloyalty.
The convention seems to have been ruled by
the constituencies politicians Of the Fernando
Wood stripe, and the notorious Milwaukee
Ryan resolution and State address of last year
were affirmed as the doctrine, OF the Demo
cratic party. -s...-...-.z - ~rEssssg.t.
We have no fears that the unconditional
loyal people of Wisconsin, who compose a
majority of that State, viii be willing to
trust their fortunes to such an unsafe tenure,
and we can only feel sorry that partisan
blindness will lead so many to commit them
selves to movement which must in history
consign all connected With it "to shame and
everlasting contempt. "-Wieoaea (llfuan.) Re

Admiral Farragut gees to the North.
From the New Orleans Era

After months of service-probably une-
qualled in the history of naval warfare, for
the amount OF energy, courage and endurance
required-the brave and veteran officer, Ad-
miral David G. Farragut, is allowed a short
respite from active duty, and permitted once
again to meet his many friends and revisit the
old familiar spots in the North to which he
has so long been. stranger.
With what a record does he return From
the time the first gun was fred at the rebels
in the forts at the mouth of the river, until
| the present moment, brilliant succession of
| victories has rewarded his efforts, and now the
| name of David III. Farragut has become
| household word, and is synonymous with all
that is daring and heroic No man, in either
the army or navy, has labored more faithfully
| in the service of the country, or had her in
terest more at heart and no man is more de-
serving of her gratitude and confidence, or
better able to appreciate the one, or to
prove that the other is well placed. $50
| The Admiral takes his departure in that
noble old ship, the Ha,ttond, the vessel which
has borne him in safety through so many
deadly strifes, and which has so steutly with
stood the shock of all the conflicts for the
| possession of the lower Mississippi in which
the navy has taken part. He goes, accompa-
MED, too, by the gallant officers and men who
compose her crew, and who have fought these
| fights under his eye. May lifelong success
| attend the Admiral, the Hartford, and all her
brave crew, is the wish and prayer of all in
New Orleans who love justice, freedom, and
the good Of their country 3s asss 4ess7

great dissatisfaction exists among the North

The North Carolina troops threaten to mutiny
unless sent back home.
Once there, they say they will throw down
their arms and abandon the rebel cause, of
which Shey are heartily sick, 1t is only with
great difficulty that officers restrain their
men. The disafection also extends to Off
