From the Richmond Dispatch, 3/11/1863, p. 1, c. 5

Deserters. – In noticing the imprisonment of David Sullivan and Chas Morrison in Castle Thunder as deserters from the 3d N C regiment, it was stated a few days since that the delegate from Pocahontas county, in the General Assembly, had visited the prison and declared that they were residents of his county and the most consummate traitors in it, and he was desirous to appear and testify against them. The writer embodied in the notice the substance of a memorandum found at the prison, but is requested by the delegate from Pocahontas to say, that on visiting the prison and seeing the men he only expressed surprise that they should be arrested as deserters from a North Carolina regiment, when he knew they were residents of Pocahontas county, and generally regarded as Union men.
