Japan Coffin-Jar, or Funeral Urn of
Oconeo.
Messrs. Editors :
I hare just ’obtained a relic of tbe
ancient people who inhabited Geor
gia, of exceeding interest. By the
kindness of Mr. Joseph Tucker and
Mr. Win. M. Tucker, I am in posses
sion of a Funeral Urn, or colhn-jar,
made of burnt-clay, covered with a
close-fitting lid, and minutely and ar
tistically covered all over with writings,
which, probably commemorated, like
our obituaries or epitaphs, the vir
tues, or lineage and achievements of
the dead, whose remains it contained.
I am told the fingers were plainly dis
tinguishable, when this Urn was turn
ed out by the plow ; but quickly
mouldered away and perished on ad
mission of the air. No doubt it had
been hermetically sealed—nothing less
could have preserved the human relics,
which so soon perished when the vase
was broken and the air admitted.
This relic was found in the Oconee
broad swamp, nine miles below Mil-
ledgeville, and was disclosed by the
f ilow in working Mr. Joseph Tucker’s
ast cotton crop. As a vestige of the
past, it is very interesting, and adds i
morelight totlie evidence already accu
mulated on of the ancient ethnology
of North America. Urns were never
used for burial, by auy people except
those who practiced burning theit dead,
and uruing their ashes, and unconsum
ed remains. The “Red men”—the
Indians as known for nearly four hun
dred years, have never disposed of
their dead by fire. The funeral pyre
is used only among very dense popu
lations. In Japan the common peo
ple are at this day burned and their
ashes buried in jars; the prinees have
a different sepulture. Was Georgia
once peopled by Japanese? In 1S31
a Japanese ship was driven by storm
across the Pacific Ocean to Oregon,
and the U. S. Government conducted
it kindly back to Japan, where it
was fired on by the coast batteries
and the U. S. frigate, in pursuit of
peaceful acquaintance, had to retire
and carry it down the coast to China.
But if the Japanese race did once live
on Oconee, they are not red-, then
whence came their conquerors; the
“red men” who alone have been found
in America.
This Urn was doubtless made by
the ancient Mound builders; the old
“stone-workers” whose tools of art
and of war are yet found among us.
I havo auque-bored lliut implements,
and many beautiful specimens of their
skill. Arrowheads &c., of intensely
hard rock; hornstone, obsidian, red and
blue jasper, and even pure rock crys
tal and moss-agate; proving they were
not only skillful,but scientific artisans;
lapidaries who understood the laws of
crystalization; the primary Jorm, and
the plain of clcarage.
This Oconee Urn will be carefully
deposited by me, in the Georgia De
partment of the museum of the Smith
sonian Institute at Washingtou city,
where all such relics should go, anu
thus form a mass of evidence, which
bye and bye, some learned Champe-
lien or Rawlinson will interpret for
mankind. Mr. James A. Dickson has
also deposited with me a’very rich col
lection of Oconee relics, for the Smith
sonian Museum.
Yours, &c.

Atlanta and the Convention.—
A bill calling a convention of the peo
ple of Georgia for the purpose of alter
ing and amending the Constitution of
the State has the same effect upon the
citizens of Atlanta that a red flag has
upon the bull, and is the signal for an
immediate commencement of hostili
ties. In every such measure they de
tect a scheme for the removal of the
capital and a hidden attack upon their
city. We cannot see why they should
exhibit such sensitiveness upon the
subject or such reluctance to have the
question passed upon by the voters of
tho State. If a majority of the peo
ple are in favor of the capital remain
ing where it is, they have nothing to
fear from an election ; if the people
wish it removed to Milledgeville the
citizens of Atlanta should not desire to
retain it. The people constitute the
proper tribunal for trying the issue,
and there can be no harm done by
making up a case for their deci-
|ion.—Savannah Republican.
Brneial of the Capital.
The Telegraph and Messenger says :
We are informed on authority, that seldom makes
mistakes, that a decided majority of the Leeiala-
tare ia atrongly in favor of the removal of tbe
Capital to tbe old and rightful Beat of govern
ment, Milledgeville. We de not know what will
be the result of this opinion on the part of the
members of the Gsneral Assembly, but we are as-
snred that if the question conld bo brought to a
direct vote, note, there would be no sort of doubt
as to the resnlt. Woirid it not be well, by way of
testing tbe sense of the representatives of the peo
ple on this question, that a vote should be taken?
Wo shall never rest easy until the last relic of
Ballockitm has been buried iu a deep and dishon
ored grave.
Natural Curiosities.—One of the
greitest curiosities we have ever seen
has been shown to us in a large oyster
■hell, obtained by Dr. John T. King,
of Waverly, from the summit of the
Alleghany mountains, two thousand
feet above the level of the sea, imbed-
ed with coal. The cavity of the shell,
which contained the animal matter of
the oy«ter, is filled by silica, cenien
, ted by carbonate of iron. The carbon
ate of lime of the shell is supplanted
by silica, blended with the lime, and
preserving all the physical character
istics in the minutest details. The
corrogations and semi-circular rings or
increments of the oyster, produced by
its annual growth, are faithfully main
tained and cognizable. This venera
ble bivalve, antecedent to Noah,
throws other antiquities of this coun
try into the shade, and makes even the
mumies of Egypt appear youthful in
comparison. A very curious oyster
shell has also been obtained by Dr.
King from Wicomico river, ten feet
below the level of the river bed. In
this shell the animal matttr has been
supplanted by carbonate of lime and
sulphate of lime, and the corrugations
have been obliterated by attrition, but
the general form and special anatomi
cal features as preserved and decided

Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. >
January 1st., 1S73. $
Since I learned that our good Mon
arch King Kamehameha V, had died,
on the dismal 11th of December, I
have scarcely had heart to write even
a private note, much less a letter for
publication, Leaving Honolulu on
the 7th of D'Cember lor the Island of
Hawniia, I bade the King farewell at
his lalace, little expecting to see him
no more. His health had been some
what impaired, but n® one expected
that the end was near. I remember
well the tremor that marked the King’s
voice as he said at our parting, “Be
careful of my volcanoes. I prefer you
ouiside rather than inside auy of my
craters. Let me see you again !” I
had informed him of my purpose to
visit the three most remarkable vol
canic peaks in this wonderful little
Kingdom in the Sea, to-wit: Mauna-
Kea 13,953 feet, Mauna-Loa 13,700
feet, and Kilauea 3,070 feet in height.
I visited them; and marvelous truly
they are to the eyes of a Georgian.
The last is the most wonderful in my
judgment—the inside of its vast crater
shining at night with the molteu lava
occupying a space of nearly seven
square miles, and typifying “the lake
that burneth with lire and brimstone.”
I wish some of our hardened sinners,
especially the most hardened class of
all, the hy\H)criles, could look at this
amazing fiery gulf which the hand of
the great Creator has spread out in
this wide island of the Mid-Ocean.
I have not the heart to describe the
scenes witnessed on this wondrous ex
cursion. At some future period, I
shall endeavor to do so. I shall be
pardoned by my Georgian friends, my
excessivo grief when I declare his late
Majesty’s favor had given me every
token of his heart-felt favor. Since
his first acquaintance with me only
last year, he heaped upon me tokens
of his afieetion; and it was well known
he openly avowed hispurpose to make
a formal settlement of his Kingdom
upon me at his death. Alas! Death
came like a thief in the night, aud
robbed him of the execution of this
purpose, according to the required
formalities.
I shall merely give, in the present
letter, some account of the history of
the royal line of the Kamehamehas to
to its present abrupt close. The Leg
islative Assembly will soon convene,
and settle the succession; and you
need not be surprised if speedy annex
ation to the United States shall be the
finale of the present tragedy. Com
missioners have been appointed by the
U. S. Government, empowered to ne
gotiate for the admission of these Is
lands as a new State iu the great
American Union.
I have frequently observed in the
newspapers, and even in the Ency
clopaedias which professed to give
faithful information an the subject, so
many erroneous statements in refer
ence to the system by which the right
to the throne of the Hawaiian King
dom is regulated, that I will here brief
ly present the facts in regard to the
matter. Before tho reign of the first
Kamehameha. who was Chief of the
Island of Hawaii, the largest of the
cluster, the several Islands were gov
erned by Chiefs. But after a series
of wars upon his brother ruling Chiefs,
Kamehameha finally made conquest
of them all, and established his seat
of government at Honolulu, the prin
cipal port of the Island of Oahu, and
of the Kingdom as well. He drove
six hundred of the Oahu natives who
opposed him over the Pari, a huge
precipice of several hundred feet high,
six miles back from Honolulu, up the
Nunana Valley, which overlooks the
opposite shore of the Island. Kame
hameha I. was a man of great execu
tive ability and an able ruler. He so
firmly established his throne that it
never sustained any shock either from
revolt or disaffection during his life
time. He had several wives. His fa
vorite and Queen was Kalama [pro
nounced Ka-rum-a]; and to avoid
trouble about the succession he named
one of his sons, Liholiho [pronounced
Ri-ho-ri-ho] to be his successor. This
kingly prerogative, inaugurated by
Kamehameha I. has ever since pre
vailed, and the succession to the crown
is not regulated by hereditary descent
or by any rule of consanguinity ever.
The sole right to appoint his successor
rests with the reigning monarch alone;
but there is this tinge of similarity to
the old Salic law of the Franks ob
served—that no woman can occupy
the throne.
Liholiho, under the title of King
Kamehameha II., succeeded to the
crown on the death of the old King in
1819. He was soon afterwards pre
vailed upon to undertake a voyage to
England, and with his Queen sailed
for that land, where he was royally re
ceived by King George IV. But he
died while Abroad, and was succeeded
by King Kamehameha III., who was
of very remote kin to him, and who
died at his Palace in Honolulu, Decem
ber 14th, 1854, after a brief illness,
the effect of dissipation. Years be
fore bis death the King bad designated
as his successor tbe youngest of tbe
two sons of Kukuneoa, Governor of
Oahu, an eld chief distinguished for
his bravery and skill in battle and his
excellence as an administrative officer.
These young princes, Alexander and
Lot, bore neither blood relation nor
connection through marriage in any
degree, to the King. Of the two tbe
old monarch preferred the youngest,
and hence be was proclaimed to be the
successor to the throne. Accordingly,
at noon of the day on which Kame
hameha III. had breathed*fris last,
Prince Alexander was proclaimed by
his own father, as Governor of tbe Is
land of Oahu, to be tbe King, under
ttje title of Kamehameha IV. He
married Emma Rooke, the daughter of
an English physician, whose wife was
a half bloon native lady of more than
ordinal/ aoeomplishents among that
people. A sen w*s born to the royal
couple, and the King proclaimed him
as heir-apparent to the crown; and, iu
case of his son’s death, the King then
designated bis elder brother, Prince
Lot, to succeed him. Death having
fallen upon both father and son, the
kingship devolved upon the Prince,
who assumed the title ef Kamehame-
ha V. It was this King who lately
died without naming his successor, aud
it will now devolve upon the House
of Nobles to choose a King.
The late King was a tall, handsome,
manly-looking person, of very dark
complexion, but regular features.' fedo
not re-oali aoy of my old acquaintances
in Milledgeville whom he so mdeh re
sembled in his appearance as your ex
cellent business manager, Jerry Moore;
but his complexion was much darker,
as were also bis eyes and hair. His
predecessor and brother, Alexander,
was of lighter color, but his features
were more of the full Polynesian cast
than. Lot’s. They were both well-
educated at the Missionary College at
Lahaina-Luna, and under the guar
dianship of Dr. Judd, then Minister of
Finance of the Kingdom, made the
tour of the Uuited States and thence
to London and Paris, in 1350, during
which time they enjoyed good oppor
tunities of obtaining practical views
of governments and peoples and socie
ty.
It is rumored that the death of the
King without naming his successor
will be made the occasion for negotia
ting a treaty for annexation of the Is
lands to the United States. The measure
was attempted in 1854, during the ad
ministration of President Pierce, and
while the Hon. David L. Gregg was
Commissioner of the United States at
the Hawaiian Kingdom. The nego
tiations had reached a closing poiut,
by which the Islands were to be an
nexed under the government of the
United States for the payment of cer-
tuin annuities to the King, the Queen,
the Princes, and certain Chiefs, and
further, the allowance of several claims
—all of which, agreeably to the terms
pertaining to the life-lease of the annu
itants, would have aggregated not
above two or three millions dollars
cost for the whole kingdom. But
just after all had been settled by the
King and Ministry on the one side and
by the United States Legatiou on the
other, the old King was taken sudden
ly sick and soou died. A few weeks
afterwards the young King officially
announced to the United States Com
missioner that all negotiations on the
subject of annexation were indefinitely
postponed byjhis government, and that
closed the door to further considera
tion of the subject. The Islands will
yet be worth purchasing, although
not so valuable, for several reasons, as
they were at the period to which we
refer.
1 have already made my letter too
long for your columns, and must close.
Should I happen to be sent to the U.
S. Senate from the new Slate of Hi-
waiia, I shall make a call at Milledge
ville and “interview” my old friends.

Our Bodily Infirmities.
Physical infirmities arc tho lot of all. Millions
are always sick. No man, woman or child is uni.
formly in perfect health. Much, however, of the
sickness and suffering wLich render life a burden
to so mauy of ourfellow beings is < ue to careless,
■ess and neglect. A mighty antidote to the
leading causes ot disease bts been provided- It
is ss harmless as it is efficient. No poisonous
d rug enters into its composition. It is an unde*
filed stimulant, tonic and aperient, of which every
ingredient is vegetable. This tinexceptionable
preventive and restorative medicine is not “a new
thing under the sun.” Hostetler's Stomach Bit
ters will soon have bets before the world 8 quar
ter of a century ; and it is not too much to aver
that thousands, aye, tens of thousands, arc now-
using it who would have been in their gravrs
years ago bad they not been strengthened au3
sustained by this wholesome stimulant. The
rapidity with which minor ailments often become
when neglected, obstinate diseases, is well known.
This tonic is famous for the immediate check
bicb it gives to these breeders of deadly disor
ders. The sensation of languor, the sick head,
ache, tbe nervousness, tbe indisposition to exer
tion, the nausea, the confusion of brain, the physi
cal debility, which are intend, d to premonisti us
of the approach of serious danger, are invariably
removed by a few doses of the Bitters The fame
of tbe preparatiou as a genuine specific for dys»
pepsia, bilious complaints, malarious fevers, rheu
matism and chronic debility, is as wide ss the
world ; and in thest days of infamous charlatan
ism, wheu fierce cathartics, that rob the invalid
of tbe last remnants of his strength, are advertised
as invigorants (!). it is indeed a blessing to man
kind that Hostetler s Stomach Bitters are every,
