Captain Harris


To the Editors of the Dispatch:
I regret that the identity of names between the uncle and nephew should have led to any misrepresentation of Major Harris; but it is certainly not necessary to the defence of Maj. H. that there should be an attempt to uphold Capt. Harris under the overwhelming testimony on our side (coinciding with the Northern statements) against him as a Yankee spy and emissary. Besides the affidavit of the mate of the Mercury, my brother (still in Fort Lafayette) has furnished the same evidence by his late fellow-prisoner, Capt. Bremond.

It is to be supposed that Major Harris's sources of information as to the reward of Capt. H. are at least not superior to those of the New York Tribune.

Very respectfully,
George N. Sanders, Jr.
