OSEUON CITY t SATURDAY, JANUARY 90, 18M. WWUiJUJHWHlff1 mAXSJUllllSVlM Cirll sBererauNcat ! twin. We have al length retched a oriil in our civil affairs which should awaken the strongest and most earnMt anxieties of every heart. Wa are compelled by truth and duty le announce the alarming Tact that we fere in slate of total anarchy. There it; to Tar ae wc can see, no Irgal protection for either person or property In this Territory. We asked one of our ablest lawyers the other day how we should proceed to procure a srammf, or kabtti eorpu: Ills reply was that he knew of no officer who wss authorized to Wue cither. Can the citizens of this city sleep quietly in their beds in this to tal! abtenco of civil officers, while the place ia infested with aa many groceries, and drunken vagabonds. We have no civil officers, and what i worse, then is so fares we know, no legal way of era. ting any. The only remedy for this unhappy state of affairs, at Wait in this olty, is In the revi vi 1 of the city corporation. We do hope th:a our Ust call will be heeded, and city officers be- elected. If"thls Is not done, then murder and robbery may be perpe trstid, and no security oaa be enjoyed ex cept in repelling force by foroe. With proper board of city officers a degree of ordermsy be preserved until other officers are created. When Gov. Lane is soae larshall Meek will be the only Territo rial officer at the Scat of Government bid fair to stand high among-the active and Influential men of the Territory, lie was daring ono eeetion of the Provisional Legislature, aa active member : and he la said to be tho author of Iho able and In terresting memorial to the Congress of the United States In relation to tho Wail ttlpn Massacre, and the Cayuse war. Ill Mea is not only a great bereavement to his Mantra, but alto to the Territory. When will the commanders of the ves sels on ttjo Columbia trade learn the first principles of humanity, and lay In a good supply of food and water beforeleavlhg San Francisco. We hear constant com plaint on this subject.

The appearance of learner on our waters wiliest once aettle the w hole question as to the most available commercial points, on the Columbia and Willamette. Four Mess Israwraseel Wo are informed that about the first of this month four gentlemen, reluming from California, where they had been engaged in mining, were unfortunately drowned at the Mouth of the Columbia. These ere .the facts as reported to us. The IJrig Forrest, was lying off the Mouth cl the Columbia, and in consequence of not hating made a suitable provision for the voyage the passengers were put on short allowance.

From the statement be. fjre us it appears that the Josephine sailed from Astoria at about 1 1 o'clock, A. .41. on Friday, Dec. 14th 1840, with a lolera bly fair wind to run into Bakers Bsy. She was piloted by a drunlrn Indian, the cap tain, crew, anil passengers being unac. quainted with the channel. The wind continued favorable till where the channel turns across from Clatsop shore to Chinook I rolnt, toco It subsided to a perfect i-alm the tide ebbing rapidly. The anchor was cast, but she was despite her anchor drifted out into the South channel.
