SOME FOUR MONTHS SINCE, our excellent townsman,
N ai htali Ezekiel, informed us that he had prepared a
air restorer With Which he WaR pxnprimpntinir nnnn hia nwn
head, whose too was entirely bald. We saw him two davs
since, and on the place so bald four months sincp. a fine
crop of hair his sprung up with a vigorous growth. So
convinced is Mi. Ezekiel of the efficacy of his discovery
that he has named it " THE INFALLIBLE VIRGINIA HAIR
RESTORER." Mr. E. is about goifg into an extensive man
ufacture of an article which is destined to prove of anxious
interest to our bald pated friends From Richmond Enqui
rer, December 12th. 1859.
This famous article can now be had of the Brincioal Druir-
gists. Those persons who desire a fine head of hair, have
nly to use the restorer according to nrinted directions on
the bottle. Those who have any doubts of its efficacy, can
have them removed in a short time, bv usinz the INFALLI
BLE VIRGINIA HAIR RESTORER, provine that it is all
that it is claimed to be.

We neglected sooner to notice the appearance

wish its clever and gentlemanly proprietor all the pecu

The ScrrosED Loss of the Sloop Stray. The
sloop Spray, reudered notorious by the supposed murder
of Jackalow, now awaiting his trial at Trenton, N. Y.,
was purchased some two months since by gentlemen in
North Carolina, for the purpose of putting her on the
Cape Fear river aa a passenger packet.between Wil
mington and Smitbville. After undergoing some re
pairs, and taking in freight, she sailed from New York
about the 9th of November, under the charge of a cap
tain, mate and boy employed for the trip, and taking
one passenger. They proceeded safely to Norfolk, when
the passenger lei t and proceeded to his destination by
land. Since then no tidings of the boat have reached
the owners. The supposition is that the sloop has been
blown out to sea and lost with all on board. If true the
Spray was certainly a fatal vessel.
Norfolk (Va.,) Argus, 1st inst.
The Spray arrived at Smithville about ten days since
after a long passage, all safe and sound.
From the Washington Constitution.
An Empty Delusion.
It is commonly asserted by those who either wish to
lull themselves and their friends into a false security, or
who desire wilfully to conceal the truth, that the South
having a majority in the Senate, she need not fear any
injury from Lincoln's election.
Aside from the absurd fallacy of supposing that a ma
jority in the Senate, did it exist, could be a sufficient
shield to the South against all the dangers and calami
ties to which black-republicanism exposes her, il hi ob
vious to everybody who examines the facts that no such
majority exists, and that after the fourth of next March,
the South, eveu should we, for the sake of the argu
ment, suppose that every Southern State remains in the
Union, has not a certain majority in the Senate. The
Senate is now composed of GG members. In the next Con
gress, by the admission of Kansas, that number will al
most certainly be increased to G8. Of these the fifteen
Southern States, even if none should secede and South
Carolina should send back her senators, have thirty
members. Add Mr. Bright, of Indiana, Mr. Thomson,
of New Jersey, Mr. Rice, of Minnesota, and Mr. La
tham, of California, democratic senators from Northern
States, and we find thirty-four to be the number of
those on whom the south could rely to shield her from
legislative wrong and injury. If we add senator Doug
las, of Illinois, and have the charity to hope that he will
act firmly with the party of which, in days of yore, he
was so brilliant an ornament, we should find thirty-five
friends of the south against thirty-four of her enemies,
thus giving Mj JJAuglathecasti ng vote.
1 nus win tne oenaie De constituted in tne I nirty-
seventh Congress, which expires on the 4th of March,
1863. llow will it be in the Thirty-eighth Congress?
Is there no reason to fear that black-republicans will fill
the places of Messrs. Bright, Thompson, Rice, and
Latham ? Is it not almost certain that, with the excep
tion, perhaps, of Mr. Thompson, whose State, alone of
the free States, has partially stemmed the tide of aboli
tion lanaticism, all the seats now occupied by democratic
senators from the North, will be filled by black-ri-pub-
licans, and that Messrs. Bright, Rice, and Latham will
share the fate of Messrs. Bigler, Fitcb, andPueh?
Where, then, is the fancied majority ot friends of the
South in the Senate? When a. black-republican
shall preside in the Executive Mansion, when black re
publicans shall have clambered to the bench of the Su
preme Court, when all the civil and military offices in
the gilt of the Executive are filled with men of the same
sable faith, are we to expect that the northern States
which now exist, and those which will soon spring into
existence from the swe'ling tide of population ceaselessly
flowing westward, where the rampant fanaticism of
black republican hatred of the south now exercises un
controlled sway and irresponsible power, will send sena
tors to Congress animated by love for the south and her
institutions ?
Before Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, attempted to
persuade his fellow-citizens at Vicksburg that the " ma
jority of the South in the Senate " had the power to
block the wheels of Mr. Lincoln s administration, refuse
appropriations and defeat all objectionable Executive
appointments, he would have done well to have exam
ined the composition of the next Senate. Had he done
so, we suppose that he would not have indulged in the
strain of lalse hope and delusive promise which marked
his harangue, and made it obnoxious to the severe criti
cism which it has received.
The Capture of Pekin Peculiarities of the
Citt. The news of the capture of Pekin by the allies
imparts additional interest to the peculiarities of that
city. A letter lrom the seat ot war, iu the Moniteur de
la'Armee, states that Pekin is built in .the form of a
polygon, its northern portion offering a parallelogram,
and its southern portion a square. It is surrounded by
a turreted wall, with towers at short intervals ; outside
of this wall is a deep ditch, and beyond this enclosure is
a circle of suburbs, as densely peopled, as busy and as
compact as is Pekin itself. The capital of China con
sists, in fact, of two cities, the North, or Imperial City,
and the South City. The former is called the City of
Tartars ; the latter the City of the Chinese. They are
separated by a turreted wall, and communicate only by
A- I A -I - I i.1 . ... ! .1 .11 . . - 1 1
inree gates, 01 wnicu me miaaie onu is reserved exclu
sively for the Emperor. The Tartar City contains the
palace ot the " Son 01 Heaven," (the Emperor,) a mass
of buildings of every siza and shade, pavilions, pagodas
and gardens, equally extensive and indescribable, which,
it is said, takes a month to go once over.
The population of Pekin and its suburbs exceeds two
millions. Sixteen gates , communicate between the
suburbs and the two cities within the walls ; on either
side of each gate is a party of soldiers, who act as
policemen. The. principal streets, especially in the
northern portion, are wide and handsome, but the
greater part of both the towns consists of narrow, dirty,
crowded lanes, rendered yet more disagreeable by the
numerous hucksters, traders, and cookshops established
on the narrow pavements.
. Tne Chinese are fond of raree-shows, and Pekin con
tains many exhibitions of puppets' learned animals,
dancers and conjurers, giving the town the aspect of an
immense fair. It also contains numerous pagodas built
of porcelain, painted in the gaudiest colors, and sur
mounted by pointed roofs. Aa for the carriages of the
Pekin grundees, they are described as resembling " boxes
of soap &et upon wheelfi," and drawn by oxen harness
ed in the roughest possible fashion. Pekin contains
nothing analagous to the handsome public buildings
which adorn the capitals of Europe. Even the imperial
palace shows no attempt at architectural design, and is,
like all Chinese erections, a mere shapeless agglomera
tion of walls and roofs.
