TELEGRAPH. t : YESTERDAY NOON S' DISPATCHES. A Reaction in the South.

So Election ih Tennessee for r Representatives Until August. Tlie: v . Canadian ! O on 1 "o 1 o i m t i i i Destructive Fire in Naugatuck, Oonnecticut. New York, Jan. 29. Col. Felix O'Brien was committed by Justice Dodge yesterday in the Jefferson Market Police Court, iu default of bail, on charges ot swindling. U Urien claims to have been the founder of the Johnson Club of Washington, and has represented himself as an agent f the President. The Herald s correspondence from the principal cities in the South indicates a general reaction, particularly among the Southern people. One of the means in use among the Virginians to alleviate suffering among the widows and orphans, is a huge lottery or gift enterprise. Among the gifts which it is proposed to give away " is, the residence of Jeff Davis, in Richmond, now in the hands of the Government. U. S. Senator Campbell, of South Carolina, defended Horace Greeley, the negro lately convicted of the murder of 11. S. llhett. ; From Nashville, the indications are thatno election tor Representatives will be held in time for the Fortieth Congress. Governor Brownlow will wait until August before he orders an election, losing, it necessary, ail representation jn the first session, so he may take advantage of the colored vote, which it seems certain: will be legalized in Tennessee in the coming Spring; "'!. 1 The Herald's Ottowa special says : " Information has been received in . Canada f'rornsihe -colonial secretary, that the confederation scheme, under the Quebec '. conditions, has ' been sanctioned by the home government, and the bill will be introduced, as a government measure, at the next sitting of Parliament. Prinoe Alfred will be the first Governor." , ";. The Times' Washington special says the House Military Committee, have agreed to transfer the Indian bureau from the Interior to the War Depart- . ment. , ' Treasurer Spinner,- last evening stated that nothing wrong had been discovered in the Currency Printing Bureau up to that time. The investigation will be continued to day. The Judiciary Committee adhere .to their purpose of closing up old business before commencing the Impeachment case. - Dr. Kennedy, formerly Mayor of xfew Orleans,' was examined by the riot , committee yesterday. His testimony was chiefly concerning the political status of the city and the personal standing of the municipal authorities, particularly the police. ' ' Delegations from two-thirds of the Indian tribes in the West .are now in Washington, invited there by Commissioner Bogg, to agree upon treaties.. ..... . ; ,. , The Herald's special regards the action 'in 1 the House yesterday on Stevens' reconstruction bill;. referring it to the, Joint Committee,, as. fatal to it. '"The' probability is that the veto' of .thfi.ebrask.a bill will, be . sent: in today . . i v ' The Tribunes special says that Mi. Clark, . of - the Currency Printing Bureau, explains the grave fact that 7-30 bonds, with duplicate numbers, have been printed iiud issued, by, saying that the numbering machine got out of order and repeated. New York, Jan. 29. The Herald's Mexican advices, by way of New Orleans, aateu tne z-ttn, - state tnat a French newspaper, in the City of Mexico,' says that the Mexican authorities at Mazatlan had executed Mr. Carman, the U.'S. Consul, at that I)lace, upon which a U. S. gunboat, ying .near at 'hand, had bombarded the town for 8 hours. ' New York, Jan. '29. A meeting .of the .Executive Committee of the Southern Relief Commission was held yesterday afternoon at the Merchants' Bank. Wm. Vermyle, acted as temorary chairman. The Committee organized by electing Mr. Archibald Russell t permanent chairman, and proceeded to transact the necessary business of the Commission. WAsnfNGTON, Jan. 29. -At a meeting of the Senate Finance Committee this' forenoon, the consideration of the gold bill from the House was resumed. After a brief debate a vote was taken, and the bill was rejected. Mr. Van. Dyke's statement appears to have been very satisfactory. ,, . The Washington City Councils, after long delay, hive agreed to pay the trustees of the colored schools pver $9,000r- being the amount due by law for that purpose. Wheeling,- ;W. V., Jan. 29. At the municipal' election yesterday the Democratic ticket, with the exception of Treasurer was elected by a de-

C, jr.,", in the BustciT "'Traveler, thus" describes the appearance of the heavens during the month: - ; . - I here in the heavens a class o stars, amounting to one hundred and twenty or thereabouts, - which are termed, variable. . lfeesfl stars suner peri'idicallv a temporary and partia loss of light. , One of the oldest known, arid most remarkable of these is Beta Persei, or Algol, as it is com monly called. This star appears us uallv ot the 21 magnitude. It con tinues at this brilliancy for two days thirteen hours and a halfr -,then fades in three hours anda' half to the fourth magnitude, at which it remains for twenty minutes, when it begins to increase, and in three nours and half regains its original brightness completing i its changes in two daya, twentv hours and torty-nine minutes The times of its' greatest faintness is termed its minimum. Two of these minima occur during January, at times in the evening, very convenient for observation, namely, on the 17th at 11 o'clock p. M.V and on the ,28th. 'at eleven min utes of 8 p. m. If, on these evenings, three or four hours before the time mentioned, Algol is observed, and its brightness, compared with that of the neighboring stars, and also at anter vals of about an hour during the evening, the diminution of its light will be very perceptible up to the time of minimum, after which it will recover its brilliancy at the same rate ' that it lost. A telescope is not only unnecessary, but useless, in observing this phe nomenon. Algol is situated abont two-fifths of the distance .from .the Pleiades to the constellation Cassiopeia. It is four degrees south of the zenith at seven o'clock in the morning: The planet Mercury is now west of rue sun. dui is not iavoratuv situated for 6bserving,'and will not be so until the middle of March. Venus . is also west of the sun and . ia visible in the .morning in the . east, before isunrise. About one-quarter of - its .diameter is at present illuminated. (i . --: r.ni i - . . . :, i Receptions. ( . , j. The following announcement of receptions -at the: Federal' Capital, as published in, a Washington paper, may be interesting : ,.-u : 1 "the WHITE 'HOUSE. ' ' " The ladies of the Executive Mansion, Mrs. Stover and Mrs.. Patterson, at home every Jionaaj commencing on the 14th instant. . The President will hold three levees, the first on the 17th instant, the second on: the 7th of February, and the third on the 22d of February, on each occasion between the hours of 8 and 11 P. M. i .'. . .". THE CABINET. The ladies of the family of the Hon. O. II. Browning, Secretary of the In"11 . , rt , tenor, win receive tneir iriends on Wednesdays, at the residence of the Secretary, on the east side of Montgomery street, Georgetown Heights. - .The ladies of Secretary McCulloch's family will receive as usual on Wednesdays. SPEAKER COLFAX. Speaker Colfax's public receptions will commence on Ihursday evening, the. 10th inst., and continue every Thursday eyening' during the session of Congress,' from 8 to 11 o'clock. ... "' The, receptions' of Mrs., and Miss Matthews, the Speaker's mother .and sister, for . ladies and gentlemen accompanying , them, commence , on Wednesday, the lUth inst., and will continue every Wednesday afternoon from 1 to 4 o'clock. lil ) i GENERAK GRANT'S it receptions win be held by General Grant and lady' on Wednesdays, the 9th and 23d instants' and Cth proximo, in the eyening. ".'At. home." every Saturday from 2 to 5 P.M. ' The " Heroes of New 'Orleans." At the recent celebration in New Or leans of General Jackson's cottonbag skirmish, it was ascertained that seven' of Toledano's rifle company are still living, two of the Foot Dragoons and five of the Chasseurs, being fourteen out of the origiual five hundred and seventy-six who comnosed Plauche's battalion on the morning of tne tn ot January, lblo; ot Uaptain Ogden's cavalry company, then forty strong, two only are remaining; of of Beale's riflemen, sixty-four strong, one alone now survives, his last comrade, Mr. Gordon, of Mobile, having died within "the month. The last ot the' Louisiana Blues, Gen. II. W. Palmer, went down on the Evening Star. ' Great Results from Little In-cidents.-A single vote sent Oliver Cromwell to the long 'Parliament; King Charles I to the scaffold, and revolutionized Great Britain. Four votes in the city of New York made Thomas Jefferson President of the United States. One vote in Congress annexed Texas to the Union, made war with Mexico and gave us California. By the. disobedience of a lad in 1809, a garden gate in Rhode Island was left open,' a pig got in and destroyed a, lew plants, a, quarrel between the owners of the pig and the garden, grew out , of it, which spread among,jtheir.i friends, defeated the .Federal candidate forth Legislature, and gave the, State a Democratic Senator, by whose vote the war of 1812 with Qreat Britain was, declared.
