THE WAR Observation-Disclosures or GERuANY.--
We publish this morning batch of interesting
correspondence and newspaper extracts reflect
ing the public feeling abroad on the great ques
ton which is now epgrossing the attention of
European politicians. The position Of AUSTRIA
it will be seen, is looked upon in Germany as
desperate one, in view Of her obstinacy in regard
to the occupation Of the Duchies. On this point
German unity" manifests itself Enthusiastically
however divided il may be on Interior cousidera-
tons. The conference about to be held in Paris
will, it is expected, completely isolate that
Power, whilst at the same time it will settle de-
finitively the Prncipalites question It is stated
that when the Conference gets through the work
Of its Continental arrangements it will occupy
itself with the relations of the United States with
the Central and South American republics, in or
der to agree upon some common line of action in
opposition to the Monroe doctrine We shall be-
leve it when we see it, although the proceedings
Of France In Nicaragua and Mexico go some way
to justify such an assumption. However dis
posed Louis Napoleon may be to push his
schemes in those quarters, he will be cautious
how he shows his game in regard TO us In so

The GuBERNAToRIAL CONTEST IN VIRGINIA.
The residents of the quiet, old-fashioned little
country towns of Northwestern Virginia have
been enjoying rare treat recently, in the exhi-
billions made before them by the two candidates
for the Governorship of the State, Messrs.
Letcher and Goggin. The stump discussions
that take place before the assembled beauty and
chivalry Of old Virginia are almost as entertain
ing to the dwelers in those sequestered regions
would be the visits Of travelling menagerie or
circus company. The appointment days are
general holidays, in which ordinary business
avocations are laid aside, and men and women
put their best attire and get out for the county
court house, at which political meetings of this
kind are almost uniformly held. Since the ex-
citing canvass of four years since, in which Gov
ernor Wise stumped the State in his successful
crusade against the Know Nothing party, Vir-
GINA has known nothing approaching the excite
ment which now prevails in regard to the con-
test between Letcher and Goggin. The letters
rom our special correspondent which we print
elsewhere, convey capital picture of the freah
and varied scenes in which these gentlemen are
principal actors, in their political pilgrims pro-
gress through the picturesque regions of North
western Virginia.
This contest for the Governorship of the Old
Dominion does not owe its Importance merely to
the personal or State issues involved, but owes
it chiefly to its acknowledged bearing on the
Presidential contest of 1860.
The demoralized democracy is represented by
Mr.. Letcher, who is entirely too honest and up
right politician to have to bear upon his shout
ders the sins of that party while his antagonist,
Mr.. Goggin, is the representative of the old
fashioned conservative whig party, which has
been resuscitated in Virginia and Kentucky, and
which, even in this State, is showing signs of
new birth. This party is gaining much strength,
and it would not be at all surprising if Letcher,
with all bis personal popularity, should fad him
self defeated by his rival. II that should be the
issue of the contest now waging in Virginia, its
effect upon the next Presidential election would
be very great; and the aspirations of the speak
ers at the late wing meeting at Hope Chapel
might be nearer realization than any one is now
inclined to suppose.

In the State Senate yesterday the bill relative to
the damages by the destruction of the Quarantine
buildings, and the bill providing for the removal
of Quarantine, were reported favorably, but the
latter was recommitted. The bill regulating
wharfage in New York and Brooklyn was laid on
the table. After considerable debate it was
agreed to print the report of the special Metro
politan Police Investigating. Committee, and. also
the memorial of the Police Commissioners. The
Assembly was occupied with the third reading of

The trial Of Nh Sickles commences at Washing
ton tomorrow. Our correspondent states that

ington have made presentments in the cases of &C.

BY the arrival of the ship George F. Patten we
