THE CIVIL SERVICE BILb.--In his elabo- rate and almost exhaustive advocacy of the new bill for reforming the civil service sometimel since, Mir. Jenckes, of Rhode Island, stated the results of canvass made by the Committee on Retrenchment, of the officers of the United, States upon the ciples of the reform.
 It appears that the committee have re- ceived reports from four hundred and for ty six (446) officers confirmed by the Sen ate, in all branches Of the civil service, whose subordinates within the operation of this act No. twelve thousand eight hundred and nineteen 12,S19), and of these officers three hundred and sixty-two (362), having eleven thousand five hundred and sixty one tll,56ll subordinates express them selves decidedly in favor, of the proposed reform. Of the residue, twelve f12) officers having one hundred and forty-three (143) subordinates say the committee, ,ssexpress Q decided opposition to it, and the remain der either do not answer the vital Ques- uons at all, or answer them eyasively, or express the opinion that the proposed measure would be either inapplicable or in- edectnal in their districts. This minority consists chiefly of postmasters in small towns and collectors in decayed ports or in internal revenue districts which an insig- nificant revenue" a}5ss
 This result will probably suggest to the Republican members of Congress the pro priety of beginning an active movement oi the kind proposed during tho present ses sion of Congress.

 MR. GREELY-His associate, MT. Dana, most justly and generously characterizes Mir. Greedy, whom he urges as minister to England under the new administration, as follows: AaBkl@ si&
 Beyond all other prominent men in the country, Mir. Greeley is par excellence an American. a republican, Q democrat. No foreign clement enters into his compost. ton. No ideas derived from the customs and the culture of other lands mar the har- mony of his mind. He is as purely pro- duct of the United States us was Benjamin Franklin-indeed, more so. He regards every subject from an elevated American point of view. He is as perfectly repub- lican, believing in republican self gov ernment, the right of the people to con- trol their own affairs, the political equal ity of all men, as was Thomas Jefferson. He is thorough democrat, always defend ing the claim of every human being to all social privileges and opportunities, to per feet social justice, more truly than even Wm. H. Seward in his best days. During his whole life he has toiled, done all and dared all for the elevation of man to hls rightful place in the creation. This the people of all countries know, and for 1t they love Horace Greeley. Moreover. he is an original character, fashioned on no model but his own; and his appearance in the world of conventional observance and ceremonious formaity will be as refreshing and grateful as the ar of spring amid the icy monotony of winter" ~

WHITE Pine COMPOUND.
THE WHITE PINE coMpoJaD CERES

ut was earlyin the spring of165s that this Com
pound was originated. A member ofmy familywas
afflicted with an irritation Of the throat, attended
with disagreeable cough. had for some months
previous thought that preparation, having for
its basis the inside bark ofwhite pine, might be so
compounded as to be very useful in the case.ofthe
throat and lungs. To test Che value Of it in the
case alluded to. compounded small quantity Of
the medicine that had been planning, andgage
it in teaspoonful doses. The result was exceed
ingly gratifying. Within two days the irritation
ofthe throat was removed, the cough bsided, and
g speedy cure was effected. Soon after this sent
some to o lady in Londonderry, n. H., who lad
been suffering for some weeks from bad cough,
Oecasioned BY atudde ncoId. and had raised mucus
streaked with blood. She soon found relgf. and
sent for more. She took about ten ounces Of ii.
and got well. J. B. Clark, ESQ., editor ofthe sIaR~
chester Daily AigrOr, made q trial Of tho same
preparation in the case of q severe GELD, and Was
cured Immediately. He was so highly pleased
with the results, and so confident ofsuecess attend
ing its sales if placed before the public, that he
finally persuaded me to give it C name and send
