Soxf PRRT1SFxf Qp1sf1oas FOR AsswER.-
The Nevada Gazette puts John R. Ridge, of the
Grass Valley National, on the stand, and asks
these questions: M N
Z lst. How do you know that there are forty
Thousand men in this State ready for such an
emergency -
2d! During your perambulations over the
State. were you not engaged in organizing secret
societies to carry out your designs of resisting a
draft
3d. Did you not establish such society at
North San Juan?
4,h Did you not establish such a society at
Grass Valley2 i
5th. Are you not the Hi-yu-muck muck, the
Big Chief Of the concern in Northern California
and if not now, please state when you resigned.
We suspect that Ridge, if under oath, might
make the following answers: First" Myself,
Brown, Street, and other Davis emissaries of
lesser note have been counting for the last
eighteen months. | spent six months in the
counties of Shasta, Trinity and Siskiyou, alone" "
Second In this my memory fails might
have done so.' Third Ask the ghost of
Gus Quinten.'' Fourth--'.I reside at Grass
Valley" Fifth refuse to answer; man
cannot be compelled to give testimony which
may tend to convict himself"
THE Colusa San asserts that he knows of
fifteen gentlemen who until recently acted with
the Republican party, but now announce their
determination of supporting the " Democratic y
ticket The San is sufficiently good authority
for the Browns and Streets, but if it would have
the assertion, generally credited, give the names
of the immortal fifteen. 1t is democratic -
logic to make such assertions Only a week or
two ago the Yreka Journal stated that Emmt
Toll, an old-time Democrat residing at Fort
Jones' had renounced his allegiance to that party
and resolved to support Lincoln and johnson in
the present campaign. But the announcement
was no sooner made than the Marysville Express
learned on good authority that Toll was insane.
If true afiiation with the Democratic party so
long the probable cause

WHEREAS, The campaigns of the brave and gallant
armies covering the Capitol of the Confederate States
during the two successive years of eighteen hun
0red and siIty.two and eighteen hundred and
sixty.three, under the leadership. and command
of Gen. Robert E. Lee have been crowned with
goriJus results, defeating greatly superior forces
massed by the enemy for the conquest of these
States, repellng the invaders with immense losses,
and twice transferring. the bsttle.ields from our
own country to that of the enemy; and, whereas,
the mastery and glorious achievements rendering
forever memorable the field of the "Seven days Of
great battles which raised the siege of Richmond,
as well as those of Cedar Run, Second Manassas,
Harpers Ferry, Boonsboro, Sharpsburg, Shepherds
town, Fredericksburg, Winchester, Gettysburg and
Charlottesville command the admiration and graft
tude of our country; and whereas, these and other
illusrous services rendered by this able command

Of his country men, and have imposed on Congress

ings: Therefore, l-
ResolUed, By the Congress Of the Confederate
States of America that the thanks of Congress are
due and are rendered to Gen. Robert E. Lee and to
the officers and soldiers of the Confederate armies

res they have the vast hosts of the enemy,

mated. Approved, January 9th, 1864.
