As the State Gonvention has not yet been called, we presume the Committee will not calla County Convention at present; bat the Commitiee can make the necessary arrangements for apportioning delegates, agree upoa the terms of the call, and authorize the Chairman to name the time. Some days ago, Mr. Daveoport, the Chairman, received o communication from the Republican Central Committee, inviting a joint call fora Convention to elect delegates to the State Convention of June Mth, But as that Convention was called. by the Republican State Committee, and: was a mere trick iutended to head off the Union movement started by some members of the Legislature, we presume not # member of the County Committee, however anxious he may be for a “Waiom of ull the loyal elemeate,”’ will eonsent to have anything todo with it. Ifany good: can be attained by uniting. the loyal elements in this county upon one ticket, we presume there would be no-insurmowotable obstacle. If such a a movement were started, independent of the present party organizations, we should wot oppose it;.but we are opposed to fusion in any shape, for we are satisfied that vo good can be accomplished by intriguing and chaffering between Central Committees of opposite parties. Faoeran ann Resev Loss at RicaMonp. —In one of the telegraphic items, giving some particulars of the battle near Ricbmond,.on Saturday and Sunday last, the Federal loss was stated at two hundred killed aod wounded; This was undoubtedly intended for two thousand—the word “handred’’ having been accidentally substituted for “thousand"’ by some of the operators on the overland line. A later dispatoh gives the Federal loss, in killed and wounded, at three thousand, The only iaformation we have of the rebel: losses, is a atatement that they left twelve buadred men dead on the field. Hf this is correct, their lose in killed: and wounded could: uot have been leas than five thousand. We have no statement of the number of troops engaged; but from the reported losses, it must bave been the hardest fought battle of the war, with the exception of the en ment at Pittsburg Lavdiog. i eon Ramroap' to Tax Corren Mixes,—A movement ison foot for the construction of a railroad'from Stoekton to Copperopolis.

The London Times’ Correspondent, It was annouvced some time since, that the Secretary of War had refused to allow Russell, the American correspondent of the London Times, to accompany the army to Yorktown, Ruseell has given his version of the matter, which does not materially differ from that heretofore published, except that he accuses Secretary Stanton of double dealing, which may or may not be true. Russell is of the opiuion that Stanton was acuated by a desire to show his authority, and to make McClellan feel his subordinate position; but the Times, fu some editorial comments on the subject, attributes the snubbing of its correspondent to the fear of independent criticism on the part of the Federal Goverament, It seems never to have occurred to the thick skulled Englishman, whose unfulfilled prophecies are not yet entirely forgotten, that bis gross falsehvods in regard to the American soldiers, and his evident symputby with the cause of the enemy, bad any thing to do with his exclusion from the Federal lines. But whatever may have been Stanton’s reasons for refusing Ruseell permission to accompany the army, he followed illustrious precedents, Ruseell was the corres pondent of the Loodou Times during the Russian war, and his letters from the Crimea so aggravated the English soldiers that they mobbed him out of camp, tore dowo bis shanty, and compelled him to leave the the island. For some reason, the Times did not allude to the matter, but the facts were meationed by other correspondents, and commented on by the English press. In 1859 Russell was sent to Italy to report the Italian war, but Louis Napoleon would not permit him to come within the lines of the French army, and bis employers were compelled to send another correspondent. Stanton was probably actuated by the same motives as Napoleon was during tbe war in Italy. He knew that Russells statements were taken for gospel trath by the English, and knowing his proclivities, for perverting the truth, he was not disposed to afford bim facilities for misrepresenting tbe motives and actions of the Government.

BoATS.—The Sacramento Union publishes an extract of a letter, received by a gentleman in that city, froma friend in New York, whose father bas been engaged a1 Portsmouth, N.

The builder, Isaiah {Lanscom, was formerly attached to the Navy Yard, Mare Islaod as Naval Constructor and probably bas a partiality for California names, The writer says: My father has been pretty busy ever since last suminer, but is now getting somewhat relieved, ful effort of head work in every way, of which, doubtless, all Sacramentans will be pléased. The Sonoma he also launched last week—Dackily, having the honor of using:those two names for his vessels. The Sacramento is one of the class of “‘six-screw steamers,” built especially for speed, and is about 2,000 tons, 225 feet long, and about 38 feet beam: The Sonoma is one of the “twelve side-wheel. steamers” and is generally supposed to be a faix vessel. A Demacoovr Footryv.—The name of Frank Blair has become quite as notorious as that of his quondam friend and present enemy, Fremont. re is however, one little incident in the history of this demagogue that we do not ct as having seen in print. We give it as heard from a gentleman recently from Washmn. As it is well known, Blair was a candidate for the Presidency before the Chicago Convention which nominated Lincoln, and recent developments show that he had the wires “dead set” forthe nomination. Prior to the meeting of the Chi Convention, Blair, or some of his confidential friends, engaged a lithographer in Washington to get up his portrait, labelled “The next President of the United States.” A thousand or so copies of this portrait were printed before the Convention assembled, and if he can be mortified, Blair now knows that he made a complete ass of himself. But this is not all; the lithographer states that as he never received pay for the work, he considers himself justified in letting the facts be known, and they are now current in Washing. ton circles.—[S. F. Journal. CALIFORNIA WHEAT.—We have it from the very best authority that there is now traversing this State, an agent of a Live 1 and London firm, whose duty it is to examine into the condition of the wheat crop of California, estimate it, and if it appear that there will much surplus over home consumption, ascertain the shipfacilities,.ete. This is the first time that ritish Houses have sent agents on such an errand to this State; although annually do they send. them to Spain, Russia, and the wheat ucing countries of Europe; and upon the aets thus obtained do they base their transactions inthe grain market. This fact shows shat California is now looked upon a3 a 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 country, and the grain has this great virtue—that it may be shipped in parcels or in bulk to any rtin the world without fear of heating, and as ene and bang oy on its ental as-it was at its departure, is is a climatic effect. The grain is hard and dry—well cured, in fact. —{Sac, Bee.

Anxiety for American intebligence daily inereases. The Times says the details of the capture of INew Orleans places the surrender # a more ereditable light for its defenders—the surrender after such a contest being divested of any reproach. It says a stabbburn and protracted resistanee is yet threatened by the South; but if place after place be abandoned, the time must eome when the rest will be hardly worth The Paris Constitutionne) argues that the North in advaneimg deep into the South, will meet with unsurmountable ebstacles, and that the end is furthes off than ever, and that those who urge the North to establish its sway on sangumary ruins ase not awaze of the sad fature, ¥iz: emancipation for four millions of negroes and aeress fox six millions of whites. The London Globe says England has washed ber hands of the Mexicum business, paoigare 4 only that hold on the Vera Cruz customs which . defendmg. subjects. It is reported that the French Government has resolved on the oecupation of the City of Mexico under every contingency, and that next to be seized on—the occupation to extend for three years, to allow time for the development of the national will.

His collection now numbers nearly eight hundred. Among them may be found a eepy of a papes sslatel in 1784. They are in measly every known tongue, not even omitting, the Chinese. Cost of THE WAR.—Secretary Chese says that the expenses of the war have been exagee only an occasional day’s expenses aving Fem them up to the maximum stated by ‘the newspapers, On a thorough review of our ‘past, present and prospective expenses, he does wet estimate the total debt on July 1, at over $9600,000,000.
