resident of this post, accompanied by bis
negro. Sam. left here some fifteen days since
for the oyster banks, in Charlotte harbor
with the intention of gathering load of
oysters fcr this place. Their prolonged
stay excited suspicion that some accident
had betallen them, aud consequently On Sat
urday last Capt - dispatched an armed
boat party in search of them. They pro
ceeded to the bank and found their vessel,
a schooner of twenty tons burden. ,ii>nsan-
tied o. her sails. and the dead bodies OF
Hudson and his negro on deck, horribly lnu-
ti!ated near by another boat, burnt 10 the
water's edge, was discovered. and ON shore
the body of an oyster man named Martin
was discovered in the same condition as the

Jeddo Destroyed by an Earthquake.
20 ono LIVES LOST!

The San Francisco Herald, has the an
nexed awful intelligence from Japan,
brought by the clipper schooner Page,
Capt. Morehouse, which left Simoda, ia
pan, December 10, and Hakodadi, Janua-

1t appears that Jeddo, the capital of
Japan, has been destroyed by au earth
qake, and that the loss of life was. i'm

aid
On the 11th of November, at 10 o'clock
p. M, a violent earthquake occurred at
Jeddo, which destroyed one hundred thou
sand dwellings, ffty-four temples, and
thirty thousand inhabitants. Fire broke
out at the same time in thirty different
parts of the city. The earth opened and
closed over thousands of buildings with
| their occupants. The shock was severe at
Simoda. Although the distance from Jed
do to Simoda is but sixty miles, it appears
that no official account of the earthquake
had been received at the latter place at the
time of the sailing of the schooner Page,
Dec. 10. I he news was obtained through
the Dutch interpreter. The Japanese
seemed to attach but little Importance to
the catastrophe. The inhabitants Of the
portion of the city destroyed were fore
warned of the disaster, and many Of them
escaped. The buildings Of Jeddo are CHIEF
ly of one story, and constructed of light
material The temples of worship, how
ever, are lofty, and in some instances are
constructed Of heavy masonry. There

ASsyrial Discovery.

NEBU UCuADNE EzZAR DUG Up.
1t is stated that Col Rawlinson, who is
at present engaged in prosecuting the dis
coyeries commenced by Layard and Botta,
aud in exhuming from the mounds of the
long lost rival cities of Nineveh and Baby
lon, the instructive remains OF this once
gigantic power, has lately discovered, in
state OF perfect preservation, what is be-
lieyed to be the mummy of Nebuchadnez-
Ear. The face of the rebellious monarch
of Babylon, covered by one of those gold
masks usually found in Assyrian tombs, is
described as very handsomc-the forehead
high and commanding, the features mark
ed and regular. This interesting relic OF
remote antiquity is for the present pre-
served in the Museum of the East India
Company. OF all the mighty empires
which have left lasting impression on
the memory, none has SO completely per-
ished as that of Assyria. More than two
thousand years have gone by since the two
great cities, renowned for their strength,
their luxury, and their magnifcence, have
crumbled into dust, leaving no visible
trace of their existence, their very sites
forgotten. \ chance Traveller, Layard, ri
ding through the Mesopoatmian valley,
discovered ''the buried city" and with a
success that will immortalize his name, has
commenced to unroll the book of Assyri-
an history and civilization, which, of all
the histories of the first periods of the
world, is most clearly connected with the
destinies of the human race The discov-
cries already made furnish ample testimo-
ny to refute the sceptic and unbeliever OF
scripture truth.
