The Democratic County Convention
which assembled in this place, on Tues
day last, came up entirely to our high
expectations, and behaved in a most
prudent, harmonious and patriotic
manner. OF course, all could not
have their first choice nominated, but
the nominations givevery general sat
isfaction. The candidates for county
Offices are all gool mea and will make
an excellent canvass. We shall refer
to them individually in the future
Considering the number of candidates,
there is less dissatisfaction with the
nominees than we have ever known
before, and we have no doubt whatev-
er, that, under any and all circIaastd11-
ces, the ticket will be elected by an
overwhelming majority. Democrats,
you have Il good ticket; go to workand
sustain it with all your energies!

FROM EUROPE.
virtual commencement of the War---EhF
Last Hope of Peace DispeiIed.

By 4he arrival at New York of the
steamships Hansa, Palmyra, and City
of Paris we have adViceS from Europe
to the 9Th inst. The news is most inn
pOrtant. The proposed Conference at
Paris has been abandoned, owing to the
refusal of Austria to bind herself to a
bide by the action Of the Conference
except upon certain conditions. There
is now no longer any but the very faint
est possible hope that peace will be
maintained. The London Times be-
IieVes that the first blow will be struck
in the S.hleSWig-H DuChies.-
Austria who, from her geographical po-
stion, is pOWerlesS to prevent Prussia
from seizing and holding the Duchies,
will, in all probability, make a counter
move into Prussian Silesia. The DdH-
IN Nelcy intimates that Prussia is about
to issue wariike manifesto or direct
declaration of war. Prussia charges
Austria with violating her pledges, and
Austria, on the other hand, justities
her acts. Military preparations are
continued on all sides. The Italian
volunteers number ninety-tive thouS-
and men. The typhus fever Is said to
have broken out among the Italian
troops on the frontier Martial law has
been declared in Nenetia. The Aus
trian army is now eight hundred thOus-
and strong. The Plussian army con-
sists of four hundred and tifty-tWo bat
talions of infantry, three hundred and
twenty squadrons of cavalry, and over
a thousand pieces of artillery.
LATER.
By the arrival, off Farther Point, OF
the steamship Peruvian, we have one
days later advices from Europe. The
nrSt step i'll az i've hUStilities has been
taken. On the 18th the Prussian troops
entered the Duchy Of Holstein, and
the Austrians were concentrating at
Altoona, where a collision was expected.
The Steamship China was telegraphed
Off Halifax yesterday. The Continental
news co. tinued to be warlike. Austria
has declared the ports of PoIa. CaltarO
and the Island Of Lissa ports of war.
Austria regards the PruSsian invasion
of HOlstein a cGatS beiH. The Emper-
or of France has sent the Duke of Gram
mont to Vienna, to make last effort
at cOnciliatiOn. Austria maintains her
position relative TO the Conference, and
it is said at Berlin to have determined
to settle the dispute by the arbitrament
of the sword.

GOOD NEWS FROM a FAR COUNTRY.

The political news from the Far West
is somewhat cheering. In Nebraska,
we learn from the Tl'iblG7e of yesterday,
the Democrats have gained consldera-
bly, on last years vote, though that
journal still claims the success of the
Radical disunionists beyond all perad-
venture" The Radicals have been joy
ousIy appropriating Oregon, and some
of their Journals have been quite ecsta-
tic over the result on the Pacific coast.
Yesterday. however, a brief telegram
came over the wires which greatly dam
pened their hopes in thatdistantregiOn.
The news is as follows:
The result OF the oregon election re-
mains Ia d0u6i. BoihpartieS cldim the
STATE 6y q DiGj0rHy Of fdbOW sic h10adred.
While this performance was going
on in Oregon, the "copperheads" We're
hard at work little further north, in a
Territory called Washington" and
the result of their labors. ''as far as
heard from" is thus pleasantly an
nOunCed:
The returns Of the election in IfdShiRg-
ton Territory Shor ldrge Democratic
qdinS. The entire Democratic ticket IN
nine counties is elected, and it is befieCed
to be so n.fOm others.
We commend these fellows to "COn-
gress." They certainly need ''recon-
structing." If the news should be con-
firmed by Observation-Disclosures, there
is but one thing left for the Rumps to
do, and that is to pass some constitu-
tiOnal amendment which will prevent
the inhabitants of these benighted re-
gions forever hereafter from voting the
Democratic ticket.--Age.
