The WHlG GENERAL COMMITTEES OF New
YoRK.--At the special meetings of these commit
tees last evening the WING committees Tor lSoS
the 4th of January, and the Young Mems Conn
mittee on the 7th of January. @
In the Young Mems Committee, beside thankn e
the officers for their services, Mr. Nicholas Carroll
presented lengthy report from the Correspond
ing Committee, detailing history of the recent
Wing defeat, tracing the causes for long series
of years. and ascribing the saving of the Union to
the efforts Of Mr.. Fillmore upon his accession to
the Presidency by the death of General Taylor,
and claiming that different result would have
been effected with Mr., F. as a candidate. This
document reflected very severely on many eminent
Wings, and took ground against military candi-
dates MIR. CPS report was, after some disc ussion,

New York Democracy.

The National Democrat, the Albany .4tlas
ct i'd genus onne, describe the condition of the
New York Democracy as in the highest degree
satisfactory. The Democrat, indeed, regards
the millennium as rapidly approaching, if it be
not already here. "The names of 'Hard-shell,
'Soft-shell,' or 'Barnburner,' it says, are to
be used no more, on pain Of communication
from the peaceful fold. Every thing, it adds,
twill be radically and uncompromisingly ma
tonal and anti-sectional in its character" under
General PIERcE's administration,
We think that our contemporary draws more
freely from fancy than fact when it INDUCES
in these delightful visions. Could it otherwise
overlook the recent hard fight between the
"Soft- shell" and the Hunker wings Of the New
York General Committee, or the scathng con-

AMERICAN CoLoNIzATIoN SocIErY.--A private
letter fum Washington informs Us of determi-
nation Of some friends of the colonization cause to
make President Fillmore life director of the
American Colonization Society, BY the payment of
one thousand dollars. The members of the cabi
net, Officers of the army and navy, including
General Scott, and many others, have already con
tributed. There can be no doubt about the sum of
VI 600 being easily raised for such purpose, but
we suppose it is desirable to double or treble the
sum, as whatever it may amount to will be appro-
priated to the sending out of emigrans to Liberia.
Contributions may be left at this Office at the office
of the New York Colonization Society, or RENTED
to the Rev. J. N. Danforth, Alexandria, Virginia.

INCREASE OF GoLD.-The editor of the financial
column Of the New York Express says:
"The steamer Uncle SAM from Aspinwall, ha q
brought advices from San Francisco to he st De-
cembcr. The amount of gold despatched from
San Francisco, on light and in the hands of
passengers it is expected. will realize over three
millions of dollars-the largest amount ever 70
ceived. Tne augmented amounts from the Pacific
show the production to be undimnished, or ra Their,
as il should be expressed, on the increase. The
California papers some months since predicted
this increased production, and then stated that in
the course of two years the amount would be
d. ubed: IT looks as if this would be accomplished
before the expiration of another year. We en-
terrain no doubt but that the joint yield from Cali
fornia and Australia, in 1854 will exceed five hun
dred millions of dollars"

for medium size machine is to be six feet in dia-
meter The scythes arc 30 arranged that every
revolution of the cylinder simultaneously with the
stroke cuts and lodges the grain in standing
gavel inside the cylinder or drum, whence those
who hold the machine can conveniently bend and
dispose of the bundles of grain. This mode o. ga
thering the grain wholly dispenses with raking.
The grain is cut by the same kind of stroke az ia
made with n hand cradle. 1t is, in fact, the old
mode OF hand grading, worked by machinery and
work ed by horse power. The machine can be
worked by one horse and cut twenty five acres Of
grain in day. F
