L?*e, Albert Sydney Johnson and Stonewall Jackson were guilty of treason, that Semmes, Tatnall, Bu chanan and Waddell were wicked pirates and tbe southern armies were bands of rebels, the adoption of these resolutions by the Grand Army of the Republic is but a hollow farce "The resolutions themselves teem with psrtisan anger and misrepresent ation Whenever the unfar partiaan hook* of the north are corrected and all evidencee of hatred to the south eliminated therefrom, it will then be time enough for our Grand Army friends to call for reform in the mat ter of southern histories " Salt Lake, Uta*, Sept 20 ?
