From the wateTtown Democratic Union
WILLIAM L. MARCY.

There is, at the present time, no more important
department ofthe national government than the one
over which this distinguished individual presides.
The labors Of the Secretary of War, for the last
few months, must have been urduous indeed The
position ia, at all times Of great responsibility
Il is the duty of the head Of that department Ia
strengthen, sustain, and direct the great arm Of the
national defence. Hrr at9
The trials and perplexities attendant upon prop
err discharge Of the high duties belonging to the
War Department greatly increased at the present
time. The difficulty of carrying on an extensive
war; at great distance and the necessity of prose.
cutting the war with vigor, impose great burdens on
the secretary. a.t.. ..s Id
1t is safe, in view of all these things, to say that
there is no man in the nation upon whom more de-
ponds than upon William L. Marcy. And It'll equal
iy safe to say that few men more capable Of dis
charging the important functions Of the minister of
war The manner in which he has thus far con-
Quoted his department has been such as to silence
the tongue of enmity ITSELF Cool, able energetic,
and far-seeing, he manages the most intricate and
difficult matters with the and efficiency Of an
experienced statesman devo,ing to the high official
duties of his aborous position the best energies OF
a strong head a steady hand, and an honest heart
The secretary's services could not well be dis
pensed with. He is honor, no less to the cabinet
Of which he is member, than to the great State
rom which he was chosen

FOSSIL REMAINS OF MANI has been generally
alleged by biologists that no fossils Of the human
species have ever been found among the remains Of
other animals so frequently turned up in their re-
searches But a DR.. Dickeson, Of Philadelphia, has
discovered bone in the vicinity of Natchez which
the Philadelphia Academy Of Natural Sciences pro-
nounco to have been the bone of man. Natchez il
| a region which is said TO abound with the ecs OF
an anteduyian era. u was found with other organ.
ic rennains tk stratum Of tenacious blue CLAW that
undercs theduvial drift east of Natchez and in this
diluval drift the bones of the Megaonyx were dis!
covered.
In the record Of the meeting OF the Philadelphia
Academy, October 9Th ultimo, the United States
Gazette finds the following:
cdr Dickson presented another relic Of yet great
er interest, viz: the fossil innominaum of the hui
man subject taken from the above mentioned stratum
Of blue clay and about two feet below the skeletons
Of the Megalonyx and other extinct genera Of quad
rupeds: NH.
"This ancient relic Of our species il that Of O
young Of about sixteen years of age, deter
mined by its size and form, and by the fact that the
epibyses have separated from the tuberosity Of the
ischium, and from the crista Of ilum. Nearly all
the os pubs is wanting; the upper posterior part Of
the ilium is broken away, and but half the aceabu-
lum remains That this bone is strictly in the fos-
sill state, is manifest from it's physical characters
which IT accords in every respect OF color, density,
&C., &C.. with those ofthe Megalonyx and other as.
sociated bones That it could not have drifted into
the position in which il found, is manifest from
several facts: l. That the plateau of blue clay Is not
appreciably acted on by those causes that produce
ravines in the superintendent diluvia. 9. That the
human bone found at least two feet below three
| associated skeletons Of the Megalonyx, all which,
judging from the opposition Of proximity of their
several parts, had been quietly deposited in this To-
caliy, independently of any active current other
displacing power and lastly, because there was no
admlxure Of diluvia drift with the blue clay, which
latter retains its homogeneous character equally in
the higher part, that furnished the extinct quadru-
peds and in it's lower part that contained the remains
Of man. DR.. Dickson has announced his intention Of
returning at early period Of the present autumn,
to resume his explorations in this prolific and most
interesting locality; and It is earnestly hoped that
his researches may lead to further calculation OF
this important question in science"

of the President, to whom it belonged under the
constitution. All the fair hopes, however, which
might have been Justly cherished, were soon blasted
by the course which Congress pursued. 8#
During the fret fortnight Of the session il was gen
orally believed that Congress would, without unne-
cessary delay, have adopted the measures recon.
pended by the President. Mr.. Calhoun arrived
about the Goth Decent to take his in the SEN
ate, and il Immediately became known throughout
the city of Washington that he was opposed 10
these measures and especially the notice required to
abrogate the convention of 1897. We were our.
selves in the city at the tme and state this fact with
the kindcst personal feelings for that gentleman, and
merely as Col. Benton would say "to vindicate the
truth Of history" ftf
1t is known to be distinguishing trait in the char
acer of the eminent Caronian, that he embarks with
his whole soul in the accomplishment Of any object
which he undertakes; and never had any public
man in this country more devoted partisans. His
power in the House soon manifested. This
caused the Committee on Foreign Relations, agsins,
the decided opinion Of it's chairman, Mr.. Charles
Ingersoll, to delay reporting the resolution TO give
the notice until the 9Th January, 1886 and Their
the report was accompanied by recommendation
from a majority Of the committee that all proceed
ings upon the resolution should be delayed unit
the first Monday Of February---a period NOR,
than two months after the commencement Of IN,
session Although this recommendation was no
sanctioned by the House, yet such were the obsta
Giles nterposed to the passage Of the resolution tina
il was not adopted until the 9th February, 1886
and in this manner were more than two months oi

vailed on that day by majority Of l63 to 81 Thu
