The whole army of tbe Prince FredVk Charles, comprises eleven divisions, In all one hundred and fnrty-fire tho sandmen. The extension of his line' over so long distances causes some anxiety at Versailles. Two divisions are operating in the country about Di jon, while there are in Ljorraine at Montnedy and Longwy two divisions, and in ftont of Paris seventeen divis ions. These armies if tbeir ranks were fall would number 540,000 men, but their real strength is less, new re cruits are en route to fill tbem to this strength, which is considered ample to hold the country all winter.

Preparations are making to the occupation of Lux emburcr bv a Prussian army as a mil itary necessity, to prevent the furnish ing of supplies by that State to tbe Francs Tireurs, and to destroy tne ia cilitien afforded for the escape of priso ners. The army of occupation will come direct from Germany. It is an arrangement said to be in conformity with an understanding with tbe King of Holland. Civil Service Reform. One portion of the Presidents mes sage must commend itself to tbe judg meet of every honest man wbo reads it aod has the best good ot the country at heart. We refer to that part which insists npon the necessity of civil ser vice reform, on which tbe President has made some very proper and just remarks. Our present system of civil service is defective in the extreme. It was an old maxim of Democracy that " to the victors belong tbe spoils," and in carrying out this pernicious practice the whole country has become damor alized and corrupted by the lust of office seeking, and the offices of the township, the city, tbe county, tbe State and tbe United States, from the humble position of Constable to ap pointments as Cabinet Officers and Foreign Ministers, are made prizes in tbe political lottery and offered as re wards for political services, not always honorable, and sometimes tbe most foul and dishonorable. It is useless to pretend that this state of thing! is confined to any particular party or is tbe result of any especial conrse of politics. Tbe principle (if Ihe pernicious practice can be dignified .by such a term) is to blame, and men never have been nor will be so proof against temptation as to remain pure aod serve faithfully wben offices are offered as bribes to secure aid for po litical aspirants. Tbe error is in this habit which prevails, of making office holding dependent npon political ser vice and not upon honesty and capaci ty. Tbe whole system is wrong and its effects will be most ruinous if al lowed to continue, and Indeed it is dif ficult to aay wbat combination may not be formed on tbe strength of tb bestowal of federal patronage, an wbat results may net follow prejudi cial and even ruinous to tbe interests of the nation. . It is already corrupt ing the ballot box, seducing tbe young men from safer paths of industry, and securing for tbem the ruin that so often results from disappointment. The remedy lies in makiog office holding dependent on tbe mainte nance of good moral character, and tbe possession of tbe reqosite qualifica tions ; and to make removal from office ft consequence of some radical defect and not to take place otherwise. Then a man would accept office with tbe certainty of retaining it on good be havior, and the temptation to be dis honest or nnfaithful would not sxist. Then we could elect' the best men tb tho higher positions, for the potent levers with which evil workers elevate themselves wonld be removed. As it . is every tlerkship, every postoffice, every subordinate in eery branch of the Government service is liable to re moval at tho word of his superior, and these positions are too often filled by the partisan follower! of auccesifnl politician!. Of conrse there are many offices that require occasional changes. The civil ' service should be so conducted, bow ever, tbat the great majority of em ployees of tbe Government will bold their petitions, neither on merely po litical grounds nor as being the pets of some high official. The result would be tbat there would be fewer of that low class of politicians who hope to receive a share of the " spoils." There would be wonderfully less of corruption in politics, and we might live to see the time when the voice ot tbe people could be plainly beard, without a false translation by partisan politicians and spoils hunters.

Washington, Dec. 16. The ridicu lous story telegraphed bere from Eu rope that President Grant bad writtei. an autograph letter to Emperor Alei ander, tendering bim the aid of a fleet of war vessel in case of war, is a pure fiction, not deemed worthy of coDtra dictioo, nntil recently, wben it bat been repeated here. It is a story ou of whole cloth. Private telegrams received here from Europe regarding tbe last pbsse of tbe Eastern question, and in view uf tbe complication by tbe Luxemburg diffi culty, give rise to a very uneasy feel ing. It is known bere tbat these mat ters have been discussed in official quarters with unusual warmth, and further developments are anxiously Waited. MOXTAIfA. Corrine, Dec. 16.

Statesman : Just now people are moving a little more brisk than usual, from the fact that the weather is becoming very wintry, and great coats and furs are necessary to the comfort aod warmth of pedestrians, and others who aie exposed. The N. P. T. Co's Steamship Cali fornia waa taken acrosa the river this morning early, to tbe new wharf, where sbe is now receiving wheat from the cars. Tbis looks like business and .is tbe beginning ot a rapid and easy transportation of tbe principle pro duce of tbe interior to a markat, somethiag Lever more needed then at present, and tbat which will make, in tbe upper valley, business lively and money pleLty. And not'only in the upper valley will the difference be felt and tbe change marked ; tbe whole State will feel the happy and prosper ous effect of tbis means of coqveying to a ready market their product. Tbe Almatia arrived at tbis port yesterday in tow of the tug boat Asto ria. Sbe comes consigned to McCrak en Merrill k Co., and brings an assort ed cargo of about 600 tons. Tbeir re turn cargo will probably be wheat, lumber or flour. Tbe bark Lyra, having completed discharging her cargo of railroad iron is now ready, and in a few days will commence receiving freight wheat for bogland. The Gungner, is about ready for re ceiving a cargo of wheat for England Sbe ia chartered by MrCraken Merrill & Co. She will take away 1,300 tons of tbn rereal. The Oregon City boat are daily bringing wheat and flour, and dis charging it into various outgoing ves sel. To-night tbe citizens of Portland are to meet to consider tbe propositions of Ben Holladay, with regard to tbe building oT tbe West Side Railroad. Ie propose to build 20 miles Of tbe railroad on tbe West side if they will guarantee to bim the pnymentof $100,- 000 in U. S. g.ld coin g -lil cio, upon its com pieiion. 1 ne Uerall, to our amaza- mrnt favors tbis piopositioo, which is certainly the only concession ever made by tbat paper to any action of bis, witb regard to railroad matters, and even now it doe io under protest, stating mat, oavmg lu view, tbe in terest of Portland and tbe West Side counties more tbau tbe thriving and exorbitant demand of tbe "soulless monopolist," it is constrained to tavor a move, which, under any other cir cumstance it would be forced to regard as ruinous to the best interests of the State and which would have as its object self aggrandizement without benefiting ia the slightest our people We bope that the citizens of Portland will at least show as much sense as the Herald, aod go for that which will build np tbe West Side counties and Portland in particular, and tbe whole State in general. : W.

The following is a portion of an article in tbe Herald written after an interview with Rt. Rev. Archbishop Blanchet, just returned from Rome : In referring to the gathering of the Council, he alluded in eloquent terns to the grand aod imposing scene pre sented at St. Peter's during tbe session of the learned Biohops gathered there Irom all p-.rts of the world to do hon or to tbe Vicar of Christ on earth. We referred to tbe assertions made in some newspapers, tbat several American Bishops objected to pro claiming the dogma of infallibility. Ilis Grace said tbere was but one American Bishop that opposed it. Bish op Fitzpatrick, of Little Rock, Arkan sas, and wben tbe dogma was pro claimed, he bowed at tbe feet ot tbe Uof Father and implored his forgiven ness, wbicb was feelingly granted. An Italian Bishop also offered bis ob jections, and finally in tears sought forgivenness also, which was granted and witb it a blessing. Out of tbe five hundred aod fifty five representatives at tbe Ecumenical Council on tbe day of tbe declaration "of infallibility, the two mentioned wTft tbe only dissenting voices. The Archbishop was in Rome the day of it capture by the Italian troops. He was in one of tbe palaces of tbe Canons, separated from St Peters onlj by tbe sacristy. From bis situation he could see tbe batteries of tbe Papal Zouaves which were the only opposi tion offered to Victor Emmanuel's co sorts at work at tbe Poita Pia and Porta di Sun Giovani. At half-past ten o'clock io tbe morn ing bis servant informed him cf tbe raising of tbe white flag, the Pope having sent word to General Ksoz'.er to prevent any further effusion of blood. After the capitulation the Italian troops were followed inl'i tbe city by ten or twelve thousand of tbe most vicious aod depraved elsssei of Italy, who came for the purposes of destruction and pillage, which they commenced immediately on finding themselves within the walls. Three priests were stabbed in tbe streets by these ruffians, who even attempted to force an entrance it to tbe Vatican. By the terms of the capitulation, the Holy Father was to have the Leociue City, in which U situated Castle Angelo, rendered apart for himself, but even this was violated by General Cardona, who sent bis troaps to guard tbe Palace, under tbe pretence tbat tbey were necessary for tbe protection of the city; And Italian good laith was further shown by searching all perons wbo sought an interview at tbe Vatican. His Grace says the Holy Father is virtually a prisoner, despite tbe assertions of tbe newspapers, as be bas only a small garden in which be walks for eiercise, not daring to sbow himself in tbe streets, owing to the number of brigands wbo would wil lingly take bis life. Io referring to tbe desire of tbe peo ple of Romn for a change of govern ment. Hia Grace said it was only the lower classes who manifested a desire to be attached Florence Government a class tbat are always discontented. Tbe better claeses were all loyal to the Holy Father. Tbe plebiscite, on the 2d of October, was tbe grossest fraud, for ont ot 80,000 votes cast, only teo were Roman, the remainder being tbe tbe ballots of the army aad Us brigand camp followers. Five days after tbe capitulation, the Archbishop called at th Vatician to offer hia sympathy to the Holy Father. A sharp student was called np by the worthy Professor of a celebrated college, and aeked tbe question, ' Can a man fsee without eyesT" "Yes, sir," was tbe prompt reply. 11 Horn, sir," cried the astonished profesor, " can a man see without eyes 7'' Pray, sir, bow do yon make tbat out?" ' He can see with one, sir." replied tbe ready-witted youth ; aad the whole class shouted with delight at the tri umph over metaphysics. IE CITY DRUG STORE.
