RICHMOND, Nov. BY the election in
this State the entire Congressional delega-
ton is to be chosen, but no State officers of
auy kind are to be elected. OF the ten rep
resenta,ives in the present Congress eight
are democrats and two republicans The
feature of the campaign just concluded has
been UNUSUAL apathy in most of the districts
In all districts except the 5th, 9th and 7tb
the fight is q square one between democrats
and republicans. In the three districts
named, which are overwhelmingly demo.
cratic, the Independents ere in the field. In
this (the third) district, up to Saturday last,
the canvass had been quite lively, as the
| tight was q triangular one between demo.
Gratis, republicans and the reform labor
| party, each having candidate. But, owing
| to tho withdrawal at the last hour of the
labor candidate, WIN. Fl. Mullen, the con
| test has narrowed down to the Hon. George
ID. Wise (incumbent) and exJudge Edmund
Waddill (repubiican), Mullen and his adher-
cnts almost unanimously supporting the
democratic nominee. From present indica-
tons the political complexion of Nirginia's
delegation in the Fiftieth Congress will re-
main unchanged. The weather is clear aud

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-The election in New
York to-day is for Judge OF the Court OF
| Appeals, for members ofLhe Legislature and
for Il Congressman. In this city Mayor
is to 10 elected, and the greatest interest i.
manifested among the supporters OF
the various candidates for the position.
A large vote is being polled, and the OK
element around the voting places seems as
great as in 1854. The George men claim
that in the district extending along tho
North river, from the Battery to Canal
street, they will receive almost every vote.

city the George vote will be large, but In
other sections he will receive few votes.
