GoLD DOLLARs.-The Philadelphia Ledger Of
yesterday says
Split gold dollar pieces are rapidly multiplying,
and the caution cannot be too often repeated to be
on the lookout for them. The piece, by some fine
and ingenious machinery is split in two, about one
half Of the coin distracted, and the pundered sides
stuck together again, the face of the piece not the
least SCARED or injured. A little care will readily
detect the fraud. The milling around the edge
will be found broken, and very generally pew
,er-colored cement may be observed protruding
from it. The coin, too, is thin in the middle.

ANOTHER CUBA EXPEDITION ON THE TAPS
The New York Express says Private letters
from New Orleans, from an authority likely to be
well informed intimate that the rumors in some of
the Southern papers relative to another expedition
for the Invasion of Cuba, are by no means with
out foundation. The "Lone Star Association"
the avowed mission of which is,in the cant phrase
Of the day, to ''extend the area of freedom" are
said 10 be ndustriously at work and arranging their
plans, so as to avoid the disasters encountered by
previous Expeditions to Cuba, and with u view of
making the success of the next invasion a matter
beyond doubt. Affiliated societies are known to
exist in other States, and it is believed that the
mount of funds in their hands, rased by voluntary
contribution is considerable. We have at present
no further particulars but the letters before US re-
ferred to above, say: ''Before many months pass
away you must not be at all surprised to hear that
the Star Spangled banner waves VIGOROUSLY over
the walls Of the Moro !"-Batt. finer.
WHERE SHALL They Go ?-The mooted ques-
ton now is-Where will the Legislature go,when
one of these fine mornings, it removes from Rich
mond to some more law and order loving commu-
nifty? Yes, that is the question The two points
most talked about are Culpeper and Grayson.--
The former has strong claims, on account of taking
free negro out of the hands of the law and hang
iup him to tree. The latter has dispersed a
Court of Justice by an armed mob 1t is hard to
decide between the merits Of the rival aspirants.
We suggest that the Legislature be removed to

OLD BULLIoN-The last papers from St Lou
is contain accounts of the proceedings in the De
mocratic Convention, held to nominate candi-
date for Congress. The result was an open and
irreparable breach between the friends of Col
Benton and the aati's-or, as he cassically denom-
mates them, ''the rotten scamps."
As soon as the Convention met, an anti was e.
lected Chairnan-which, proving that the Ben
tonians were in minority, they forthwith with
drew in body and nominated Old Bullion. Those
who remained, nominated COL BOgy, and adopted
an address, in which they denOunce Benton in the
severest terms, as Free Soiler.
These proceedings will open all the old wounds
throughout the State, and the war between the
"hards' and the 'fsofts," will be waged With
greater fury than ever.-Rieh. Wing.

Movements Of the Democratic Leadrs-lfeaing Of

propridtion- Genevai Topics.
For some years past the democratic party has
been rscked by disssntons and split up into hostile
and apparently irrssencilable fasioxs. The differ
eaoes which have existed had their real origin in
conflicting personal and ssectional ambitions, al
though tho oontendiDg parties generally found it
convenient to put them on the higher ground Of
principle. We had Southern deA0erats and
Northern democrats, subdivd,a into nrc eaters and
conservatives at the South and free sellers aad
servatives, or, clas+cally, sold fcgies a. the
North, with an intermixture, in all sections, Of
party sharing neither the ambitions nor the hatreds
of any, possessing ssme national and many vital
elements, and called Young America" This
party, previous to the Baltimore Convention, began
and had become an important, and, ia the eyes Of
the democracy at large, the savisg constituent In
the long distracted organisation which had been
broken down by the personal hostilitios Of Van
Bs-en and Cass Although not powerful enough
IN tho Convention to control that body. II was able
TO give it direction against those sectional and
selfish interests which agitated it, and rendered
their success impossible. The result was = nomiua-
ton, utterly irrespective OF all previous factionsl
organizations, In tho selection Of q unsx ,ep-
donable to all and committed to none. The party
