ADDITIONAL EAsTEKS NEwS,-The Union
Of yesterday morning has dispatches from
the East to June 5th, but nothing later from
Richmond and COrinth than the news pub
lished 10 our last. Sixteen hundred prlso-
ners, of Gen. Prentiss' division, taken at
Pittsburg Landing, arrived at Nashville on
the 4th, and four hundred more were ex-
pected. They were parOled in consequence
of the rebels being unable to feed them.
The bombardmcnt Of Fort Wright was COM
menced again on the Sd, and continued on
the 4th. The enemy replied occasionally
but their firing did no damage 70 the gun
boats. Intelligence from COrinth, by way
Oi Louisville, Gays, after the evacuation,
several Mississippi regiments disbanded aud
went home. Yicksburg having refused TO
surrender, the women and children were
removed, and on the 26th of May, the Fed.
eEal feet opened fire on the batteries de-
Tending the city. At the latest accounts,
the city had not surrendered, and it is pro-
bable il will be destroyed. The Mississippi
river must be opened at any cost.

DvMocKATIC County CoxMrTEE.-A meet

DgMooEATIC COUNTY COMMrTEE.-A meet
;ng of the Union Democratic Committee
for Nevada county has been called for swO
o'clock, this afternoon, but we go to press
at too early an hour to give any of the pro-
ceedings, in this issue. AS the State Con-
vention has not yet been called, we pre-
sumo The Committee will not call County
Convention at presents. bat the Committee
can make the necessary arrangements for
apportionIog delegates, agree upon the
terms of the call, and authorize the Chair.
mau to name the time. Some days ago,
Mr. Davenport, the Chairman, received q
communication from the Republican Cen.
tral Committed, inviting a joint call for a
Convention to elect delegates to the State
Convention OF June 18th. But as that
Convention was called by the Republican
State Committee, and.was mere trick in-
tended to head off the Union movement
started by some members of the Legisla-
ture, we presume not a member of the
County Committee, however anxious be
may be for q "UniOn Of all the loyal ele'
meuts," will consent TO have anything to dc
with it. Nany good can be attained BY
uniting the loyal elements in this county
upon one ticket, we presume there would
be no insurmouO4able obstacle. If such .
movement were started, independent O
the present party organizations, We should
not oppose it;-but we are opposed to fusion
10 any shape, for We are satisfied that nc
good can be accomplished by intriguing
and ChafFering between Central COMMITTEES
Of opposite parties.

CoHDITIoN OF THE CRoPS.-We leayA from
farmers resident in various parts of the county
that the indications are favorable to much
superior crop than has been anticipated, and
that = good average yield will undoubtedly be
realized, though the harvest will be late. The
extreme backwardness Of the season has given

A DEHAGOSUB FooLRD.-The name Of
Frank Blair has become quite as notorious as
that Of his quondam friend and present enemy,
Fremont. There is however, one little incident
in the history OF this demagogue that we do not
Tecollect as having seen in print. We give 1t
as heard from a gentleman recently from Wash
ington. As it is well known, Blair was can
didate for the Presidency before the Chicago
Convention which nominated Lincoln, and re-
cent developments show that he had the wires
"dead set" for the nomination. Prior to the
meeting Of the Chicago Convention, Blair, or
some Of his confidential friends, engaged lith-
ORrapher in Washington to get up his portrait,
labelled "The next President of the United
States" A thousand or so copies OF this por-
trait we're printed before the Convention assem-
bled, and II he can be mortified, Blair now
knows that he made complete ass Of himself.
But this is not all; the photographer states that
as he never received pay for the work, he con-
siders himself justified in letting the facts be
known, and they are now current in Washing.

CALIFORNIA wHEAr.-wehav it from t

CALIFORNIA WHRAT.-We have it from the
very best authority that there is now trayersing
this State, an agent Of a Liverpool and London
firm, whose duty it is to examine into the con-
ditiOn of the wheat crop of California, estimate
it, and il it appear that there will much surplus
over home consumption, ascertain the ship
ping facilities, etc. This is the first time that
British houses have sent agents on such an err
rand to this State; although annually do they
send them to Spain, Russia, and the wheat
producing countries Of Europe; and upon the
facts thus obtained do they base their traNsac-
tioNs in the grain market. This fact shows
shat California is now looked upon AZ great
wheat producing country-and indeed she is
the best in the world of her size. She raises
more to the acre than any other State or coun-
try, and the grain has this great Virtue-that it
may be shipped in parcels or in bulk to any
port in the world without fear of heating, and
be as sound and wholesome on its arrival as-it
was at its departure. This is a climatic effect.
The grain is hard and dry-well cured, in fact.

TURyIsGs AND TwBTINGs OF THE "LIrTLE
Speaker Raymond, the "Little Villain Of the
Times, had received o letter from General
Wadsworth, containing attacks upon General
Mcclellan. Now Raymond comes out in print,
denying that he had ever received such a
letter for publication IN the Tines, but insinu-
ating that he might have received private let
ter of the character we asserted. This quibble
to notice, and upon the main facts Of the case,
therefore, We convict the "Little Villain of
having told one Of two lies-viz: he either
lied when he told our informant that he had
received letter from Wadsworth, or he lied
when he declared in print that our statement
was untrue. We happen to have the honorable
Speaker on . sharp pin this time; for he is
himself responsible for our statement, and it
was made upon his authority. The moro he
turns and twists, the more this pin will hurt
him.
It is very curious to observe the motive of
this downright lying practised by the Little Viii
lain" General Wadsworth, it appears, is q can
didate for Senator from New York, and wishes
to be elected by the next Legislature. Ray
mond is also . candidate for the same Office
Therefore, while pretending to be very friendly
to General wadsworth ana the opponents Of
Mcclellan, Raymond steals around and stabs
wadsworth in the back by spreading reports
against him. This Is very favorite mode of
engineering with the Little Villain" and he
practises II on small and great alike. For in
stance, in an article upon Mr.. Gregory, NJ.
p, in the Times of Wednesday lsst, he, to
crafty some personal spite or other, lagged in
batch Of old scandals about gentleman Of
this city in no way connected with the subject
Of the article. Yesterday the Times declares
that ell its statements in regard to that gentle.

Proceedings I'm Nashville.
In the absence, this morning. of any fresh in

victories over the armed forces fthe rebellion,
we seize the opportunity to spread before our
readers some Of the very important proceedings
at Nashville attending the advent and public
reception in that city Of Hon. Andrew johnson.
In the character of President Lincolns Military
Provisional Governor of Tennessee.
The appeal or proclamation of Governor
johnson to the people Of the State will satisfy
every intelligent Union loving reader that in
this appointment President Lincoln has indeed
put I" the right man in the right place." The
policy which tho Governor announces as that
which will guide his provisional administration
is eminently conservative and conciliatory.
He admonishes the people of Tennessee that
against the armed forces Of this secession
rebellion the President of the United
States was bound by his Official oath
to preserve, protect and defend the consti-
tuition, and charged by the law with the duty
Of suppressing insurrection and domestic vio-
lsnce;r and, in order to re-establish the authori
ty of the federal government throughout the
Union, Congress, assembling in extra session
in July last, ct the Presidents call, promptly
and zealously proceeded to strengthen the
hands of the administration in the prosecution
of this righteous war; but ct the same time, as
Governor johnson is careful to remind the Ten.
nessee people, the two houses Of Congress, with
almost absolute unanimity, resolved "thst this
war is not wsgsd on their part in any spirit ol
oppression, nor for any purpose Of conquest OF
ssbjugation, nor for the purpose Of overthrow.
