As We Expected.—Some of the fire-eating Radical papers are opposing Sumner's resolution to blot out the memory of a war with brothers. The resolution in substance is this:
WHEREAS, National unity and good will among fellow citizens can be assured only through the oblivion of past differences, as it is contrary to the usage of civilized nations to perpetuate the memory of civil war; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the names of battles with fellow citizens shall not be continued in the Army Register nor placed on the regimental colors of the United States.
We shall see who will oppose this principle, and what spirit shall dictate it.
