TELEGRAMS, &c. Report says Hon. Presten King jumped overboard from the Hoboken ferry-boat while in astate of temporary aberation of mind. His body has not been recovered. A little boy and girl sawa man answering the description of Mr. King jump overboard on Monaay morn- ing from one of the Hoboken ferry-bosts. The hat brought to this city was recognized by Mr. Thurlow Weed, Mr. Ring's Tivate ——— and Mr. Usher, Deputy Naval Officer. r. King stated to a very intimate friend, on Sun- day night, that he would never see him again. His health has been poor for some time past, and latterly he had shown indications of soft- ening of the brain. Mr. King has been much erplexed since his appointment over the af- airs at the custom-house, which weighed heavily upon his mind, and undoubtedly cnl- minated im his death. Those most intimate with Mr. King have carefully watched his failing health, and recently he has been at- tended by a companion, who occupied a room with him at the Astor House, and watched his movements.

Davis, but Not One Him — What Wirz Thinks of Howell Cobb—What He Thinks of Trenholm— Wirz's Terrible Anathemas. It will be recollected that in the Star of Octo- ber 2, it was mentioned that Wirz had a few days before received a letter from the gov- erness of his children, in which she said :-— «Whatever may be said, I do not consider you guilty.” Also, that he had received a letter from a person in New York, who wrote as fol- lows:—“Although I consider you one of the greatest criminals who ever lived and deserye to suffer such sentence as is meted out to you, 1 deem it my duty, in view of the probability of your days on this earth being few, to urge you to prepare to meet your God, and look to Him for forgiveness. If you are guilty, make an open confession.” The writer went on to exhort Wirz to cease thinking of temporal matters, and to seek repentance at the foot of the cross. We give below Wirz's reply to each of these letters, which will be found to contain some curious matter, especially that to the gover- ness, in which he complains that traitors like Howell Cobb, Trenholm, and Jeff. Davis have been more leniently treated thanhim. He in- ferently admits the charges of terrible treat- ment of Union prisoners at Andersonyille, but throws the responsibility upon the rebel officials, Trenholm more especially, who left him without funds nine months at Anderson- ville, and made it impossible to provide Priso- ners with shelter, and in consequence, as he says: “I, a humble man, must now answer with my life for the fearful consequences produced by Ais (Trenholm's) and other simélar neglects.” The New York News, that latéty called upon the South to clear itself of the uujust charge of cruelty to Union prisoners at Andersonville, ‘will perhaps concede now that it js a hopeless case. The anathemas poured out by Wirz on his “persecutors” remind one in force and completeness of the fearful string of curses de- yoted by Dr. Slop, in Tristram Shandy, to the individual who knotted the strings of his satchel. The letter to O. B. Smyth, it will be seen, is dated October 29th, the reported date of the at- tempt of Wirz to poison himself, intercepted by Col. Baker. In reference to this report Col. Baker informs us that there may be some mis- take about the date of the occurrence, but that the main statements published in regard to this attempt of Wirz to poison himself are true, and that Judge Holt and Col. Eckert, Assistant Secretary of War, can youch for the fact that he (Baker) informed them of the attempted suicide within an hour of its occurrence, and placed in their hands the oil silk in which the poison was contained : OLp Cartrot Prison, Wasnincton Crry, D.C., October 24, 1565.—My Dear Miss Carrir -— Your kind letter, dated September 9th, was handed to me on yesterday, and I will not fail to reply to it. Before these lines reach you I may haye gone to my last and lasting eon It is not to be expected that not often, ye: often, my heartrebels at the thought that should suffer the extreme penalty of the law in expiation of crimes alleged to me. Crimes so dark, so terrible, that it makes me shudder to think on it. Crimes which I never commit- ted; which no man who wears the imprint of his Maker eyer did, ever could commit. Still at is said I committed them, and I will have to ponte wellasI can. Many atime have I asked rbyself the questi ‘reat God, is it possible that 1 should suffer for the faults of others. There were moments when I even doubted that I was the Captain Wirz spoken of—that fiend, that devil, held up ww the just execration of this world. Miss Carrie, this ume is behind me. I am resigned to my fate, whatever it may be; still my spirit is un- broken, my heart beats calm and fear- less. If it is decided that 1 shall be the Victim to be sacrificed upon the altar of an offended country, I am satisfied; yea, more than satisfied. 1 shall be proud of the idea of losing my life; the life of other men, better, greater than I am, willbe saved, ena, bles me to look on calm and patient. God grant that my life will be the last one demanded to pacify the people. Whilst these are my fee]. ings in regard to myself, 1 cannot Say that I have been able yet to forgive those who haye sworn to those enormous taisehoods. It would be superhuman to expect that J could. No, I never will and never can. I have cursed them often; my curse I will leave them as my lega- ey. Ye will follow them standing, walking, sitting, eating, sleeping. It will hannt them to their dying hour; like Cain shall they find no rest, BO peace, and before the tribunal of an Almighty, all-knowing and just God, will 1 cry out against and huri»them down into the bottomless pit. You will say that this is wrong, that this is wicked, that 1 ought to consider my situation, that Christ tells ns that we must for- give our enemies, that if we do not forgive others how can we e: forgiveness for oor sins. I know that true, these crimes, 1 have not committed have no need to ask of God murder when I never mu: any one, bu! they have committed perjury, their statements will be the causeof my losing my life, have my food name banded down to the coming gen- eration covered with infamy, my helpless innocent family held up as the wife and echil- dren of a felon, and this is more than I can eub- mitto. You say in your letter that the public Proceedings of the United States have ever been characterized by justice and magnanimity. I hope and trust it may be so in my case, I must confess, however,that I have very good reasons to fear that such will not be the case. Why I think so I cannot tell you, as that would be too lengthy 4 thing to discung in a letter hike this: & few bints will convice athatl am not far from the right. You remember Gen. Howell Cobb's — at Andersonville in Murch, 1865; ‘ou recollect, perhaps, bow mem ai ‘was with it, still that man, who bad uttered more treason in that 5) bof balf an hour, done more to inflame the mind of the crowd than I done or said in all my life, he is at home enjoying God's greatest blessing, to be with his family, and 1 am 4 prisoner, Mr. Trenholm, the Secretary of the Treasury, of the Confederate States, who, for nine fail months failed to supply the post at Andersonville with funds, and in doing so made it impossible to provide prisoners with shelter, because without money lumber could not be procured, is at home also, and 1, a hum- ble man, must now answer with my life for the fearful consequences produced by his and other similar neglects. I could go on and on, and write down a long catalogue, but this is enough for my purpose. Do not think that 1 bear an ill w ih to those so fortunate men. No indeed. Itold you, in the commencement thatl re to lay down my life to save theirs, and I say and think so yet. I thank you & thousand times for the sympa- thy youexpress. I know if you could assist me, you would do so; let that sufficient. It is sad for me to contemplate the doings of the world, petitions after petitions pouring in to ask mercy for President Davis, but where is the one who ever has raised his yorce in my bebalf? Noone. But enough. Farewell dear Miss Carrie; may you live happy and contented. May we meet again in a better and brighter world, where the poor despised prison-keeper of An- dersonville will have the justice done him which he cannot get from his fellow-men. Farewell, God bless you, {H. Wirz. OLD CaPrItor Prisos, WasHIveTor, D.O., Oct. 29th, 1$65.—C. B. Smyth, Exq., New York -— Sir: Your letter of the 26th instant was handed to me yesterday, and I must confess its con- tents are such that 1 must answer to it. 1 do not for & moment think that you wrote that letter with the intention of insulting me, tak- ing an advantage of my unfortunate position, but I do think that for impudence and pre- sumption, it has notiteequal. You say thatl am one of the greatest criminals that ever lived, and therefore worthy of capital punishment. Youexhort me to give up all hope of escape from 8 murderer's doom, and not try any longer to hide or extenuate my guilt, but to con: the same openly like & man. You season your address with quotations {om the Bible, &c., &e. Now letme tell you, my dear sir, frankly and openly, that you are greatly mistaken, that strange as it may seem to you, I must say that Iam nota criminal, that my Dands were never stained with the blood of my fellow men, that [have no guilt to hide or extenuate, and above ail things, have nothing to confess, with other words than Iam innocent. Yes, I say 1% again, and oh! that could write it in leiters of fire, and proclaim it with & voice of thunder. 1am innocent, and I shall never, not even at the gallows, say ay beeen else; and now let me ask you what right have you to say what you say, to Lag gy yt ome pee Lanswer you with passages from the k you have been us for my condemnation—trom the Book w has been in these dark hours my only guide, my only hope. my sole comforte! to rcs t.

' Suffer death. 1 hope to die like a man. There = = things which have kept me from « Poet and give me strength to endure, and wil: <= forsake me in my last hour. The first anc most important is the firm belief that there is a God, a supreme ruler of heaven and earth, without whose will nothing happens. How strange and incomprehensible it may seem to me that He, the all-knowing God, who knows my innocence, should let me enffer. Still, L bow my head submissively, and say with Christ: Thy will be done. The second is, that God, in his own time and pleasure, will establish my innocence, and deal with those who have rjured themselves as they deserve. The third is, that I consider myself a vietim to satisfy just such as you, who cry after my blood, and are too craven-hearted to ask for the punishment of those who are guilty, because they are men who have friends, influence, means at their command, things 1 unfortunately have not. You may think this strange language for one in my situation; you may say that lama hard- hearted impertinent wretch. Think, say what you please, nothing shal) make me forget what i am myself, and may God sustain me. To confess, 1 haye nothing: pardon and mercy L can only ask of God, or &t any rate not of such as you. Panink that from the above you can form an estimate as to the stateof my mind, and haying nothing more to add, I remain, respectfully, your obedient servant, H.
