ChamberIin,s Concentrated Leaven.

There is On exhibition, this year, at the
Maryland Institute, an article, that, we are
sure, will be hailed with delight by every
hOuse-keeper and bread-maker, within the
range of our voice. 1t is Chamberlin's Con-
centrated Leaven. A trial was made of it.
this week, in our own household, in the manu-
facture of flannel cakes, mullins and biscuit
and we are happy to report, that the result
was triumphant. We never ate better and
lighter and sweeter bread, than that thus
prepared. There was no discOlOration of the
bread, no taste of any foreign substance, for
the good reason, that the material used is a
tastelesS and colOrless one, and is thrown off
by the heat used in baking.
This leaven comes in the form of powder
and is Imperishable. 1t is thoroughly inter
mixed with the flour, before the latter is re-
duced to the state necessary for baking. 1t
never requires more than ten minutes to pre-
pare the dough or paste or batter, and fifteen
minutes is all that is necessary, in a quick
oven, to bake loaf of bread. The saving
resulting from the use of this article, in the
manufacture OF the staff of life, is ascer.
talned, by careful experiment, to be 10 per
centum. that is, barrel OF wheat -four, which
IN the ordinary process of treatment, turns
out 25O pounds of bread, when treated with
the Concentrated Leaven, yields 290 pounds.
Most of the saccharine matter is converted
AubO S'al bOHlC siClu gas, ny tue common pro-
cess, and this waste is incurred in order to
generate gas sufficient to ferment the dough-
paste or batter, but when the Concentrated
Leaven is used, this result is avoided, for the
carbOnic acid gas, which it contains, Is liber-
ated by the application OF the heat used in
baking, and the saccharine matter of the
flour Is developed in all its strength, and re-
tanned by the bread, in a soluble condition.
There is no department of the Cuisine of
making, and this discovery of Mr.. Chamber
lin ought to be cherished and sustained, as
contribution to the worlds knowledge of pri-
mary value. The instantaneousness of the
action of this leaven, is one of its highest
claims to support, for if the cook and house
wife can save the hours lost in bread-making,
they will he relieved of much of the ennui
of housekeeping. 1t is like the Pharisee's
leaven, quick and effective, but not to be
guarded against as theirs is
In the camp, at sea, on long journeys
across unfnhabited wastes, in voyages to the
pole, its value cannot be over-estimated. The
soldier, the seaman, the traveller, can have
fresh bread in few minutes, under the most
adverse circumstances. We learn, that it has
already been appropriated by our principal
bakers, for mullins. sponge-cake, and the like.
AT all events, we can commend it to every
housewife in the city, as an article that will
remove nearly all the care and trouble in the
manufacture of good bread. The sales of
the manufacturers, we learn, amounted to
10000 cans last month.-Balttnore Patriot.

FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF Col. PRESTON FROM
DRow1SG.-By letter received in this city
yesterday from Hon. William Preston, our
Minister to Spain, we learn that on the I'd
inst. he sailed with his family from MarseilIes
in Spanish vessel, on his route for Madrid
They had not proceeded far, when the vessel
struck a rock and all the passengers were in
imminent peril Col. Preston placed his wife
and two daughters in one boat, three daugh-
tiers in another, and embarked himself with
his son in a third. The ladies were all land
ed in safety. but the boat in which the Colo
mel and his soC were, was stranded on rocky
shore; the young gentleman was thrown out,
but was rescued by the inhabitants who had
gathered on the beach. The Colonel himself
was drawn back three times by the receding
waves and undertOw, and though eventually
he was saved by the desperate exertions of
Maltese and Catalan boatmen, he was in an
apparently lifeless condition. Restoratives
were efficiently administered, and We are
pleased to state that at last advices the Colo
mel and all his family were entirely recov-
cred and had gone back to Marseilles This
fortunate termination of an accident, which
was so fearful in its perils, will carry joy 10
the many friends of our distinguished towns

~As the contest for the Presidency draws
TO a close, the Breckinridge-Y ancey leaders,
either from sheer rccklessness or despair. are
becoming holder in their enunciations of
disuni onism. In the lower tier of Southern
States, after having attempted, to disguise
their true object in the support of BRECKIN-
RIDGE, the election Of LIyCOI.N, they are now
since the October elections yOciferOusIy de
claring the South must not submit to his in
auguratiOn, and are organizing minute men
as a Military force to sustain a secession
movement. They are endeavOriBg to intro
duce a reign OF terror. with a view to repress
the patriotic impulses of the Union loving
masses. and to secure themselves against
overwhelming opposition in the hour of dan
ger. They talk of marking Union leaders
for public reprObatiOn, and for infamy OF
placing such brand upon them as shall for
ever disgrace them and their posterity. They
clamOr for a union of the South upon their
ticket, that the sectional armies may confront
each other face to face. and would stigmatize
all who interpOse plea for more conserva-
tive and national course, as dislOyaI PERSONAL
ly and politically to their section. Their
insOlence is becoming intolerable. If it be
not rebuked, there will soon be no freedom of
speech. or action, in the South, for those who
dare to revere the Union cOnsecrated by the
blood of the revolution, and the source of
blessings innumerable. They must become
as servile as the slaves on the plantations.
and submit to be driven as the secession ovnr
seers may dictate. The disunion leaders
seem to forget that there are rights quite as
sacred as those of property-that when
freeman is assailed in his liberty of speech.
IN his right of private judgment, in his right
to be heard in defense of the government to
which he is attached, and to which he owes
his allegiance, he is assailed in points so
dear that he is recreant to his manhood If he
does not maintain them with him life. if ne

tempting to press the Union men to the wall.
They are mistaken if they believe that they
will fad no resistance. The great victories
which consigned the disunionists of 1850 TO
the shades of private life, should admonish
their disciples OF the present day TO be eau

of the people, now sleeping, but which NAV
be aroused full soon to sweep them as with
the bosom of destruction. Let them take
warning before it is aroused

have elected their candidate in Fluvanna by
majority of GA gain of %. The Bell
men elected Crump, as we said a few DAYS
ago, in Amelia and NOttoway. The cleo
tions show that Douglas and Breckenridge
are nearly tied in Eastern Virginia, while
Douglas it is thought will lead him in the

What may be expected of Kentuc ky.

SEE must rival her. We already have the
enemy beaten, and accessiOns are being made
to our ranks daily. Keep up the fires, and
don't let Kentucky bear off the banner:
The Executive Committee issued requests to
the various County Committees to make a
poll of their counties and send in the result
to them. We shall therefore in a few days
be able to tell our friends exactly how the
matter stands in the State, and 1t tViH be from
reliable sources, full entitled to credit. Already
a number of answers have been made, which
indicate a iirmness in the Union ranks every
where in the First, Second, Third, Fifth and
Seventh Districts. The news of the October
elections and the treachery of the BreckiG-
ridge men are fully known, and the effect has
been to exasperate the friends of Douglas,
and TO Undue q fixed determination in the
Union ranks not to allow this State to be
diSgraced by voting for the candidates of
such a party. The Frankfort Committee
have also made similar requests of the Coun-
ty Committees in the other five Districts and
we shall soon have reports from them. The
reports in from the five lower Districts are
sufficient to indicate that the Breckenridge
plurality over Bell in the First District will
not exceed one thousand votes at the very

of Gen. JACKSON, and adhere to his noble
sentiment, "7He Federal U7ioH-it mast Be pre-
ssrVed,' you see the game Of the enemies Of
the Union. They would use your vote for
BRECKINRIDGE as an Indication of a desire,
Gu your part, for dissolution of the Union,
and sustaining them in their reasonable
schemes. Your presses and leaders, whether
they intend It or not, are urging you on to
the trap; and lest you take heed you will IN
consciously be made unwilling instruments
world has ever seen. 1t is time for you to
look beyond party. 1t is not within the
range of possibility for you to elect BRECK-
ISRIDGE. Every vote cast for him is thrown
away. You cannot, by voting for him. do
anything towards securing the party organi-
cation hereafter; for if the Union is dissolved,
there is no future for the organization. You
can do nothing by supporting BREcKINEIDGE,
but give the disuniOnists the advantage of
your influence, in the contest which is to
come should the election, unfortunately, re
suit in the choice of LINCOLN.
Under this state of things, does it not be
come your duty to let party ties and party
hopes slide, and strike for the salvation of
the country? Every vote cast against BRICK
INEIDGE will swell the figures in the great
Union column, and be a note of warming to
the evil disposed and wicked fanatics who are
resolutely bent upon hurrying you into civil
war, with all its horrors. 1t may be that the
existence of the government rests upon your
action. That is a grave responsibility. See
that you fail not, in a crisis so mOmentOus
to discharge your whole duty.
