The Dachshund Standard doesn't separate the two sizes in the conformation ring because technically there should be no difference. I think there is a slight difference though. The Standard Dachshund tends to have stronger bone structure and have a really square, slightly broader head. Minis have slightly rounder heads and don't often have the strong roman noses that the Standards have. Also mini's are said to be a little more high strung around children and different situations. This isn't always true though and really it shouldn't be. A well bred mini will be just as tough and outgoing as a standard.
