WHAT THE BRECKENRIDGE NATIONAL CON-
MIrrEE Is FoR.-llitherto, says the Worcester
Times it has been difficult to understand
what the Breckinridge Committee in Wash
ington had to do, as the election at heSouth
indicated that they were eXerting either no
influence at all, or else it was against the dis
unionists But New Hampshire Burke, who
has the control of President Buehanan's mat
tors in New England, in his Standard Of the
18th inst, alluding to the fact that there arc
still few Douglas Postmasters left in New
Hampshire, says:
eve call upon the friends of Breckinridge
in every town to watch these Douglas Post
masters, and report them to the State Cen
trail Committee of the National Democracy.
Their cases will be attended to at Washing
ton"
So it appears, says the Times, in its COM
ments, that the business of Isaac |. Stevens
DO. Lanes Washington Territory substitute
in the National Conyention) is to sit in judg'
ment upon New England Postnasters, and
threaten to turn them out of Office if they dc
not support the disunion secession ticket
But Isaac has got his hands full to turn out
the douglas Postmasters" north Of Mason
and,Dixon's line for they constitute ninty nine
,hundredths of the whole number.

Sutter County Correspondence.
MAZE's Precinct, Sutter Co., !
October 10. 1860. {

October 10, 1860
EDITOR DEMocRAr Il presume your read
cas- would like to know the political COM
plexion of the above named precinct The
following brief sketch of a speech made
on Wednesday evening, by Gen. A. NJ. VIM,
will impart the desired information. Gen.
Winn gave notice, about one week since,
that he would talk to the people of the above
named precinct on Wednesday evening, on
the all absorbing questions of the day
Wednesday evening came, and the General
came also, in that general good humor which
is Characteristic of him. In a short time af-
ter bis arrival, the people began to turn out
en- maSse, and the room was crowded to its
utmost capacity with ladies and gentlemen.
We were somewhat astonished to see so large
an assemLlage, on account Of the country be-
ing so sparcely settled.
On nmotion, S. II. Blodgett, Esq, was chosen
Chairman of the meeting After which, the
General came forward and made telling
speech. His remarks required considerable
length Of time-some three hours.
In his opening, he dated as far back os
1914. lie commenced working in Democratic
harness at the time Gen. jackson ran for the
Presidency against Adams, and proved that
the Democracy was then the same as now.
lie showed that the principles of which s.
A. Douglas now is the banner-bearer and ex.
pounder, were the same in those days as now.
He proved that Stephen A. Douglas was the
regular nominee of the Democratic party,
having received two-thirds of the whole vote
in the Convention. He made a clear expo
sition of the doctrine of the disunionists,
Yaneey, Rhett q Co and foreshadowed the
inevitable result which would follow if
Breckinrilge or Lincoln was elected Presi-
dent. lie gave logical exposition of the
principles which he advocates, and summed
them up in the one word, Non-Intervention.
The meeting was one of the most atten-
tive ever had the pleasure of attending,
although the discourse was quite lengthy.
You could have heard a pin fall at any time
within the room while the General was
speaking. The audience was entirely wrap
ped up in the speech. 1t certainly was,
without question, very appreciatiye meet
ing, composed of the most intelligent Of the
community.
On the 9th of next November, this precinct
will speak in laundering tones for Stephen
A. Douglas, the regular nominee for Presi-
dent, and Gen. A. NJ. VIM, candidate for
the Legislature from Suttcr county.
Yours &c, r.

HEAGT-DRoKEN ELEpuANT.-Caliiornla cor
respondents of Eastern papers have large
maginations. One of them gave the New
FORK Clipper the ensuing melancholy account
of Elephant Victoria's death: "In crossing
stream, in consequence of high water, she
was separated from her male companion, who
was carried down stream. She seemed to
lay the matter to heart very much at the
time manifesting her grief in the widest
manner Soon after, she began to fail, and
died. On opening her, she was found per-
fectly sound except her heart. This was
broken, caused, doubtless, 10y grief in losing
! her mate

BREAD-MAKING.-A writer in the Scientific
American asserts that "saleratus and soda il
bread have more to do with the thin bones
rotten teeth, and shabby looks of our chill
dren-large and small-than many would
imagine. Liebig and medical men of the
first standing, such as Schwencke, Pitcairne
and Orile, also testify that the carbonate Of
patash, soda and ammonia, have a particular
effect in breaking up the coagulating power
of the blood, and inducing a diminished Vi
tai cohesion of the various textures Of the
body formed from it..
The same writer adds: "lf medical men
can be found so far behind the times as to
testify in fayor Of the use of alkaline matter
in food, leave them to be benefited by their
own prescriptions. Good yeast is the best
agent at present known to raise bread with ;
and when the sponge is set, it should be
placed in a temperature Of about so . and
when it begins to work, it should be freely
exposed to the air, so as to allow the carbon
ic acid gas to escape with facility. When
fermentation Is carried on in ciOsC space,
and the dough covered up, the quality Of tie
bread is liable to be injured; for the more
freely the gas is permitted to escape into the
atmosphere, the better will be the bread
As soon as the fermentation has reached a
certain point which bakers call Eight knead
and bake it. The heat of the oven stops fer
mentation, and over fermentation makes soul
bread. A certain degree of heat in the pro-
cess of baking, changes the starch of grains
into dextrine, and gives that peculiar and
agreeable flavor which lively, well-baked
bread has. Dead, doughy bread, is wanting
in flavor-the heat of the oven being too low
to develop the deXtrine DsXIrine is soluble
in water; starch is not. Thorough baked
bread is easier of digestion than when it is
not well baked"

THE SECEDERs HARD PUSHED IN AMADoR-
The Lancha Plana Dispatch, after noticing
several of the bogus representations in the
late Breckenridge Convention in Amador
county, says: French Bar was represented
by T. Masterson, of jackson, by request OF
Mr.. Sylvester, of Hunts Gulch, who, we are
informed. is an Acknowledged Republican,
and knew nothing of his appointment until
he came to jackson. This case was so ride
ulous that motion was made to except that
portion Of the Committees report, but was
voted down, no doubt from a fear that it
would cause an investigation of the authori-
ty of other delegates. This was to be avoid
ed by all means, as it would expose their
weakness

NOVELTY or PRAIRIE TRAvEL.-In q late
number of the Home Journal, N. P. Willis
gives the following observations on railroad
travel, inspired by trip through Illinois
To overtake thunder shower, whirl
through it. outrun it, was the first of the
days exciting novelties We saw it ahead
of us, on the prairie, just as You see a single
black cloud in the sky, with sunshine all
around it, 1t was moving in the same di
rection as ourselves, probably at about TWEEN
ty miles an hour; and we soon began to
overtake it with our better harnessed thun-
der and lightning. The conductor pointed
the dark mass out to me, some fifteen min
utes before we entered the outer skirt of the
shower, and @e were in pelting rain, with
lightning peals Of thunder, for perhaps ten
minutes-emerging in fair weather on the
other side, and leaving the storm to lag after
US, like the "slow coach" that il was! But,
certainly, it was very queer to give thunder
and lightning the go-by. 1t seems to me,
somehow, anticipatory of another state of
things When we go telcgraphing about at
the beginning of our spirt-trayels in the
next life, | am sure shall have a vague i'm
preston Of having done something of that
sort before-this experience of dstancing a
well-trained thunder cloud being laid away
in my memory.

TIE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRTGNG AND
SPEAKING AN OFFENsE. -Messrs William ard
Frederick Lyster, the managers of the Italian
and English opera troupe, were brought
before the Police Court last Saturday, to
answer the charge of misdemeanor, preferred
against them by Mr. Frederick Marriott, ed
itor and proprietor of tho News Letter for
having assailed him with violent and abusive
language the day previous at the Interna-
tional Hotel. 1t appears that an article had
been published in the News Letter. critieis-
ing in not very choice language, not only the
public acting and singing, but the private
personal characters of the various members,
particularly the ladies attached to the opera
company. Well, Mr.. Marriott last Friday
carried one hundred copies of the number OF
his paper containing the obnoxious article to
the international Hotel, where several OF the
parties thus attacked are staying, when
meeting with the brothers Lysters, they took
the opportunity thus afforded them of giving
the critic their opinion of him. and in Ian
guage, which according to his account, fully
equalled his own. Marriott had the broth
ers arrested for misdemeanor. After hear
ing before the Police Judge, the defendants
were ordered to appear for sentence, bu
prefering to know their fate and meet it a
once, they were sentenced to pay, each, {

BLoNDN AND TIE PRrycE.-During the
Princes visit to Niagara, Blondin surpassed
himself and all his former hair breadth eX-
ploits. In addition to the usual items in his
programme, he added one item which many
people supposed was dodge" to draw a
crowd. But when the time came, the in
trepd little Frenchman was on hand for the
fulfilmeut Of all he had promised; and, in
spite of the remonstrances of the Princes
and his party actually trayersed his ropes on
stitsl In making one of the prodigious leaps
advertised in his bills, he was obliged to come
down astride the rope; but, without remoy-
ing his stills, regained his footing and sue
cessfully completed the trip. The stills used
on this occasion were about two feet high,
and furished at the lower end with three
short prong, of iron, which served him as
claws do bird. In the history of reckless
ness and dare-deviltry there is nothing like
this exploit.

SrUBBoN FAcTs-Tehama county seems to be
a great field for the Breekinridgers to labor
in. They know the people here win support
the regular nominee, and hence their great
anxiety for our welfare. But we can tell
them, their love for the dearPeeps in thelitte
county of Tehama will not avail them any
thing. The honest voters of this county are
not to be gulled by set Of fat, sleek, greasy
and well paid Federal Office holders We
know they are working for their bread and
butter, and knowing these facts, the bone and
sinew Of the county VIII give them terrible
rebuke on the 9th Of November. Do not the
| people know that Frank Washington, one Of
the speakers here last week, is Collector Of
| the Port of San Francisco with a salary OF
| $4,000, and the dispenser Of Offices worth
| probably 100000 a year? And they know
just as well that Col. Sanders, another one
| of the orators on the same evening has a
| $4,000 Federal Office in Sacramento And
who can blame Eugene Howard for sticking
to Breckenridge when he has just received an
Office at the Reservation from the hands OF
! the President? Is there a man in this com
muuity crazy enough to believe that if Presi-
dent Buchanan had come out and supported
Mr.. Douglas, Gas he should have DONE and
! published to his followers that it was the
bounden duty of every Democrat to support
him for the Prosdency-we say does any one
believe Col. Washington, Col, Sanders, john
Dreibiibis, Major solomon, Frank Tilord or
even Eugene Howard, would now be strain-
ing every nerve to induce the people Of the
State to vote for Breckenridge? No!
But to Tehama county again. Her vote is
not SO large as to make any great amount OF
difference in the Presidential election but she
has, in connection with Colusa, Representa-
tive to elect And the powers that be know
that one vote in the Legislature may elect OF
kill the Grcat NogA This is grand object
with them Tehama and Colusa are to elect
a Gwin supporter to the Assembly, or there
is no virtue inmonoy. Keepan eye on them

down from the mountains inform us that the
snow fell to the depth of two feet on the
summit, during the late storm. At Eureka
there was foot Of snow yesterday morning
and six or eight inches at Orleans Flat and
along the divide above Bloomfield. Some
snow fell at the town of Bloomfield, but not
enough to cover the ground. At Jackson's
ranch, on the Henness road, there was no
rain, and the dry snow fell upon deep bed
of dust. We learn that there was also con-
siderable snow at Omega and Alpha, and
along the summit of the divide between the
south Iuba and Deer Creek. 1t is not like
ly to lie on the ground many days at this
season of the year, and thus far the travel
