While the Demo crats are almost a unit in favor of the report, my opinion is that the effort of tbe Republi cans for delay will be successful. THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE VARIOUS SURVEYS. Tbe consolidation of tbe Government sur veys under tbe Interior Department, as pro posed in the legislative appropriation bill, has monopolized most of tbe general debate on that bill so far. It is claimed that by doins away with tbe surveys of which Messrs. Hayden, Powell, and Wheelgr now have charge, and the abolition of the surveyors geueral, money will be saved and more ac curate and uniform results reached. It is generally understood that if Congress adopts the recommendation of the commit tee Mr. Clarence King will be put at the head of the consolidated surveys at a sal ary of $8,000 per annum. He is a friend of Secretary Schurz, who will control the ap pointment. THE SENATE TO-DAY. Up to half-past 1 senators wrestled with the calendar and discussed unimpoi tant bills and private claims.

Tlic Rcceitt DisuNicr Co Kriti.sh Troops in South Africa. London, February 11.? The Times, cam mentinjr on the news from Capetown, says: "Nothing can excced the frankness of the recital, for it is clear that nothing has been held back. It would lie useless to deny either the sadness or extreme gravity of the catastrophe. Whether there was, or was not, any want of vigilance on the part of our own force, it is clear that the Zulus are even more formidable than our military au thorities expected tiiemtobe. It was known that they are well drilled; that great num bers are armed with breech-loaders, and that they would tight courageously. We now know but too well how lurge'a force they can mass at one point. Sad as the loss of our troops is, still graver is the peril which must arise with defeat. The Zulus will be emboldened, and the colonists be exposed to fresh and formidable dan gers. In these circumstances the duty of the Government cannot admit of the slight est doubt, and it is to send ample reinforce ments to the Cape without the needless de lay of a single hour. It may be that.they can be more quickly sent from Mauritius or India than from England, but at all events no effort and no expenditure must be spared to save the colony from disaster and the power of the country from grave injury. It is a melancholy consolation, meanwhile, that the gallant troops of the Twenty-fourth re giment did their duty and died at their posts jiko Englishmen." Lord Chelmsford, the commander of the expedition, sets down the British loss at thirty officers, and about five hundred non commissioned officers, rank and file, of the Imperial troops, and seventy non-comrais sioned officers, rank and file, of the Colo nial troops. ? A court of- inquiry has been ordered to collect evidence regarding: this unfortunate affair. It would seem that the troops were enticed away from their camp, as the action took place a mile and a quarter outside of it. The Cabinet Council to-day decided to send three battalions of infantry, two regi ments of Cavalry, two batteries of artillery, a company of engineers, three companies of the army service corp3, and a company of the army hospital corps, to reinforce Lord Chelmsford in South Africa. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE ENGAGEMENT. London, February 11.? The following communication has been received at the War Office from Lord Chelmsford : I re gret to have to report a very disastrous en gagement on the "22d of January between the Zulus and a portiotf of No. 3 column, which was left to guard the camp, anout ton miles in front of Rorke's Drift. The Zulus came down in overwhelming num bers, and in spite of the pliant resistance by five companies of the First battalion of the Twenty-fourth regiment, one company of the Second battalion of the Twenty fourth regiment, two rocket-tubes, 1G4 mounted men, and about 800 natives, they overwhelmed them. The camp containing all the surplus ammunition and transports of No. 3 column was taken, and but few of its defenders escaped. On the following morning we arrived at Borke's Drift, the post which for twelve hours had been attacked by from 3,000 to 4,000 Zulus. Its defence by some eighty men of the Twenty-fourth regiment was most gallant. Three hundred and sev-. -enty bodies lay close around the post.- I compute the Ziilir loss al 1,000 here alone. At the camp ^vbere. the disaster occurred the. loss of tbe enemy is<<eomputed at over 2,000. Colonel Pearson, commanding Nq. 1 column, ha9 been attacked, but he repuUed tbcZulcfe; ?

THE EACE TO ENTIRELY DISAPPEAR. Tlic announcement that the race of baldheads Is ?oou to disappear entirely from the face of the cartli may startle the timid, and prate harshly upon the ears of those, who are accustomed Jo regard the shining pafs of their friends with a sort of sacred revercnce; but no barm is to coin* to those unfor tunates who, like poor Uncle Ned, " have no wool on the top of the head, the place wlitre the wool ought to prow." They are not to be extirpated, and not a hair of their beads Is to be Injured. Their baldness Is tt be covered over, not by art, but by a natural growth of hair, stimulated to development by the application of that most wonderful discovery, Car bollue, a deodorized txtract of petroleum. In many cases it will almost des'roy the identity of the Indi vidual for a time; but the change wilt bn such a delightful and agreeable one that all must eventually rejoice over it. It will be very curious, doubtless' to miss all the baldheads from the churches, the lee ture-rooms, the theatres, and other public assem blies, but the transformation is bouud to come. No matter how smooth or shining the orb? no matter how barren it has been? when tickled o'er a few times with Carboline it is bound to bring forth an abundant crop and enable the possessor of the bare head to shake his locks as proudly as did ever Sam son or Absolom. Sold by druggists. Joseph E. Pond, Jr., attorney at law. North Attlebcro', Mass., says: "For moie than twenty years a portion of my head has been as smooth and free from hair as a billiard-ball, but some eight weeks a?o I was Induced to try 5 our Carboline, and l he effect has been simply wonderful. Where 110 hair lias been seen for many years tbcie now np rejrs .1 thick growth, and I ain fully convinced that by continuing ils u>e in time I shall have nearly as pood a head ol" hair as 1 ever had. I expect the growth to be slow, but It Ts growing now nearly as rapidly a hair dees after it is cut. I am induced to write this for the rearon that I know you have a good thing, and wish all who are bareheaded on top of their head to try it, firmly believing they wilt soon receive benefit from if a use.
