IMPORTANT LAWSUIT.

Messrs. Webster and Choate are engaged in
an important lawsuit about to be tried in Boston
which involves the question whether transfer of
property made by Millerite during his haluci-
nation, can be deemed legal The case is as fol-
lows, and is very interesting, because there are
many similarly conditioned. A gentleman in one
OF the towns in Massachusetts, manufacturer,
engaged in large and profitable business, be-
came impressed with the conviction that the
world was about to come to an end according to
the prediction of Miller. For time he conduct
ed his business as before, bat soon began to see
the folly and wicledness of bestowing his time
and attention upon worldly affairs when the end
OF all things was at hand. He wished to
dlvest himself of his property, retaining only
enough for his support till the coming of the great
day. His family and friends prevented him from
throwing away his estate, and at last out of de-
ference, as he said to their feelings, he disposed
OF it. much as he would have done by will, in
case OF his death. To his Oldest son he conveyed
all his property, binding him to pay TO mis- other
children their appropriate shares, and taking for
himself one Thousand dollars, to deray his ex-
penses for the short time the world had then to
endure. The gentleman commenced preaching
until the doctrine of Miller exploded, and his zeal
then abated and he found out his deluson He

whole property. His plea is at the time he made

WATER FOR THE NAVY.

We have often wondered that the Government
has never adopted the very simple and economi-
cal plan of laying down lines of pipes from the
Lake of the Dismal Swamp TO the Navy Yard in
Gosport, for the purpose of supplying our vessels
Of war with pure fresh water, instead of being
at the enormous expense they are now at to OBJ
tain that indispensable necessary. The original
cost of laying down the pipes would be nothing,
in comparison of building and keeping in repair
water Jugs, and not quarter of what it cost to
build the Water Witch steamer, which is now
undergoing extensive alterations in Philadelphia j.,
to make her capable of performing the duties first
expected of her, and then her continued heavy
daily expense, in fuel and hands, will far over
balance any service that she can render The
water, too, which she could supply is from the
James River, up which she would have TO 90 at
least sixty miles before she could get out of brack-
ish water, and then not get good an article, as
might, without expense or moments delay, be
obtained at the Navy Yard, for experience has
fully demonstrated that the Juniper water of the
Swamp is the purcst, most healthy and pleasant
that can be taken TO sea-
The elevation of the Lake is some twenty or
thirty feet above the Navy Yard, which would
give, in the fifteen miles, a sufficient head for all
purposes. Or if need be, there is sufficient water
power at the lower end of the Dismal Swamp
Canal, only few miles from Gosport, whereby
water could readily be raised to a reservoir, fiy,
sixty, seventy feet in height, Sufficient to cover
any house in Norfolk or Portsmouth, and at the
point where much of the water is obtained
with which our vessels of war and commerce are
supplied.
We trust that these few crude remarks will
attract the attention of gentlemen who are more
cpnversant with the topography of the country,
and that the Secretary of the Navy will command
an examination Of the Lake and the route to be
made to decide on its practicability and feasbil-
ty. This much we know, that the mere expense
of placing the pipes will be very trifing as there
is no distractions in the whole route the soil be-
ing alluyial and light sand.

THE ELECTIONS

We are not yet in receipt of complete returns
from any of the States which have recently held
elections; but enough is known, and the Demo
cratic cause is on the increase. Brown the De-
mocratic candidate for Governor of Tennessee is
most certainly elected, while the Legislature of
that State after. a long series of years is also on
the right side. Indiana, too, is in possession of
democratic Legislature. We have held our own
In Kentucky, and increased the popular vote in
our favor. Democratic Alabama, has maintained
her position, although our majorities have been
somewhat reduced, in consequence of two cand-
dates of our party running for Governor This
happy result of the present elections, shows the
popularity of the President and determination
on the part of the people to sustain him, and the
measures proclaimed by him, in his inaugural on
the fourth of March.
