Messrs. Arnold Harris, M'Graw, and Ely.--We learn that several members of Congress and other influential and prominent gentlemen are in favor of the release of these individuals.
Certain correspondence of Mr. Harris', written in the month of April, to friends in New Orleans, proving him to be a friend to the South, has been laid before the authorities.
It has never been pretended that Harris did any thing more than commit an indiscretion and place himself in an equivocal attitude by approaching our lines without a flag of truce, seeking indirectly for the body of Secretary Cameron's brother.
His letter to Gen. Beauregard was couched in terms ill-calculated to forward him in the business upon which he had come, and his “neutral” position therein claimed was not easily admitted, seeing he came from the enemy's country on the errand he did. But an example having been set, and the dignity of this government vindicated, we may let Mr. Harris go.--Richmond Dispatch.
