Mr.. b. q: Campbell, ferrymaster, Tho was
on duty n the Christopher street ferry house
on Monday morning, declares that at few
minutes before O'Clock man, whom be de-
scrtbes 60 being stout; thick set, with smooth
Of black OF very dark blue clothes, md. who
he Judges would weigh between go and 275
pounds, jumped from Hudson River Rail-
road horse car and came into the ferry
house. The man paid hts. fare, asked
a few common plnce questions and then vent
on beard the ferry boat Pnlessonr which
started few minutes later. He states fur
ther that two small children who were on
board the boat saW the same man, wheu
about two hundred yards from the New York
side, Ealk towards the stern OF the boat,

end then, while closing his nostrils With hls
finger, jump from the stem Of the boat and
and the boat was backed up as quickly as
possible, but no traces Of the man could be
found. The hat vas taken by one OF the
boat hands to the superintendent of the ferry
company, and by him shown to 8ir. Kings
friends, Who recognized 1t at once.
SPECULATION.
Unuumbered were the reports as to the
causes which led Mr. King to commit suic,dc.
Few if any of bis friends were aware of his re-
cent illness and mental arrangement. Some,
therefore, argued that the onerous duties
which he had been called upon TO discharge
since the early days o. September had caused
him great depression: 0thers suggested po-
litical troubles. Neither Of these statements
Is true. BIZ. Terwfnfger, bis private secre-
tary, declares that none Of the transactions in
the Custom House department could hare
had any effect upon Mr.. Kings rash deter
min4tton. His unceasing labors, however,
might possibly have brought about the tenn.
porasy alteration Of mind under which be
must have labored when death closed his
career.

but Of the many rumors current ono was
ionnd to possess some share Of likelihood.
From sources unknown it was asce1tained
beyond all doubt that Mr.. King, laboring
possibly under Temporary alteration Of mind,
bad jumped from the deck OF the Hoboken
ierFg-boat Paterson, and had perished before
be could be rescued. The body thus FIR has
not been recovered. Yesterday Mr.. Weed
and detective officer proceeded to Hoboken

when rumors, ct first apparently unfoundet

were current, 10 the effect that the Hon.
Preston King, Collector Of the Port, had conl

fit Of temporary insanity. Known to the

The new South. [volume] (Port Royal, S.C.) 1862-1867, 1865-06-03

THE RFGENERATED SoUTH.-0ur read
ers will have observed that since the re-
turn of the Editor and Proprietor Of this
paper from the North, We have expressed
very decided opinions on the questions OF
reconstruction, the treatment Of traitors,
the policy to be pursued with the freed
mon, and other subjects of cqual and
pressing Importance. Although The New
SOUTH is but a small and apparently in
significant sheet, the standpoint from
which We write gives us, We think, clear
ness of view and facilities to arrive at Just
conclusions which our cotcmporaries at
Savannah, on the one side, and Charles
ton ON the other, do not possess in an
equal degree ; or, it my be thIt, under
the pressure of present surroundings
medley OF Union solliers aui civilians
and ConfelerateS, some repentant, 9th
ers still unSubdued, our ncighbors find it
difficult to suit all their customers by
cnunciating a clearly defined policy to he
pursued towards this Southern country.
This has not escaped the observation
ofmany thinking men among or nnmer-
ous readers, and We are therefore in con-
stant receipt of communications from
prominent and influential citizens both
North and South. Onr limits are too
narrow - notice many OF these as We
have determined TO devote Ourselves
