This action, together with the generally unfavor- le el gages entertained among the citizens in regard to the negroes, caused a great disturb- va made. ases of the most flagrant crime occurred not tong since, immediately followed hy the burn- rng of the entire property of a citizen who had penly taken sides against the negroes. This sas part of the present proceedings, all of vhich are undoubtedly the result of a com- bined conspiracy for purposes of robbery and revenge An indignation meeting was held by the negroes last week, when certain measures were resolved upon which were at the time unknown, hut which may probably receive an explana- tion in the events which we are about to re- ud At about twelve o'clock on Saturday night, four negroes went into the house of Mrs. ttreyenu. situated about two miles from the river. and made a concerted attack upon it. The inmates consisted of the mistress of the houre—a respectable. aged woman—and three men who boarded with her. These were Geo. Clark, Solomon Boumbray, and another man named Edwards, who was in the employ of “lark. All of them belonged to the anti-negro party, and had made themselves obnoxious by their zeal in denouncing the race in the strong- est terms, on account of their misdeeds in that particular vicinity When the house was attacked they defended them-elves iu the best manner possible, but, as they were destitute of fire-arms, the invading pa svon effected an entrance. The negroes were armed with knives and clubs, and, al- though the white men fought desperately, they were in the end overpowered, knocked down aud beaten aud cut in tbe most terrible man- ner. The old lady was then attacked and beaten in au inhuman style, and, after being rendered helpless by the cruelty of the ruGia saz subjected tu most fiendish ind : wrongs thut ean be inflicted on womankind. Having accomplished their work of outrage and destruction, they departed, leaving their vietims lying in their blood, and the house al- most a wreck When the neighbors visited the place in the morning they found all of the fam- uy in a speechless state except one, who was able to give the names of the assaulting party. They were all frightfully cut and bruised, and two of them—Clark and Boumbray—so much ‘njured that there is no hope of their recovery. fhe third lies in a critical condition, and the eld lady is so much injured that it is doubtful if she ever fully recovers. An officer named Turner immediately took the matter in charge—and, with the assistance ef ne citizens, succeeded in arresting the whole party. They were found to be four no- torious desperadoes, viz :—Bill Stevens, (eo. Miner, and two brothers named Lesk. A oon as their arrest became known, there was a gen- eral uprising of the negro population, and be- fore they could be transported to Sandwich for confinement in the county jail, they were res- cued by an armed mob snd set ut liberty. his at once inflamed the resentment of the white citizens. and there was a general com- 1 n throughout the township, causing the two opposing parties to come into collision with numinent danger of a popular outbreak All the officers were summoned from the ad- joining tow of Maiden, and citizens were dispatehed te Windsor for additional assistance. Mr. Rowland Wingfield, magistrate, Recompa- nied by an officer, was in Windsor yesterday for assistance. and officers and citizens went down the river with him prepared for any emergency. The citizens are determined upon srresting the murderous bund who committed the outrage. and the n s are disposed to Protect them, and there i: great danger of a ral disturbance. The whites and blacks tu that and the adjoining township are about equally divided in numbers; and, while the latter are villainous and desperate, the former are resolute and determined to protect themselves from repeated outrage. We should not be surprised to hear of a general onslaught upon the negroes, with « view to their expul- sion from the township. The indignation and *xcitement are intense, and very likely tolead to serious results. 3, = +02 : Parra is Heway Natvre.—tThe € acelebrated Paris restaurant.

(From Galignan’ Messenger, Dec. 25 ] We have had occasion to peruse @ remark- able work just published, entitled « Courants et Revolutions de l'Atmosphére et de la Mer,’ by Lieut Julien, a distinguished officer in the French navy. The greater part of the book is devoted to a general description of Lieutenant Maury’s splendid theory of currents and winds, by which he explains the recurrence of storms and other meteorological phenomena: but what has chiefly attracted our attention is anew theory on the inevitable periodical return of a cataclysm similar to that known under the name of the Universsl Deluge a subject which the author treats with singular lucidity, and of ee we will here endeavor to give an out- ine: The author starts from certain facts, some of which are generally known, yiz: 1. That the isothermal lines (lines where the same degree of warmth is observed on our globe) of the highest temperature are equally distributed between northern and southern hemispheres, the space they occupy in the former being about double of that which they occupy south of the equator, so that the southern hemisphere is considerably colder, especially towards the pole, than the northern one. 2. That the ac- cumulation of ice at the Antarctic pole is much more considerable than at the northern. That the earth performs the shortest portion of it revolution, viz: that nearest to the perihel- ion, much more rapidly than the other, and at that period of the year which comprises the autumn and winter of the northern hemis- here. Hence it follows that the winter of the atter is shorter (by about eight days) than that of the southern hemisphere; and it is during this long winter, when the earth is furthest from the sun, that the solar rays must lose in strength what they gain in duration. To this cause of diminution of temperature must be added the loss of caloric by radiation, and it will then be easy to perceive the reason of the difference of temperature between the two hem- ispheres. Observation,moreover,has shown that the quantity of caloric lost at the South pole in the course of a year is equal to the surplus ab- sorbed at the North pole. Now let us,with the author, mentally represent to ourselves the earth at the moment of itscreation, when its whole surface was covered with water, and its centre of gravity coincided with its geometri- ealcentre. From that moment its revolution around the sun commenced, and all those causes which have led to the inequality of tempera- ture between the two hemispheres began to operate. In the course of a few centuries the ice at the South pole became in consequence heavier than that accumulated at the North pole, and the centre of gravity was displaced southwards; mathematicians, in fact, state the distance between the latter and the geometri- eal centre to be about 1.700 metres. Under the circumstances, what could the liquid surface of the globe do but flow southward, leaving all the continent we are so familiar with uncovered? Here M. Julien observes that all the regions of the southern hemishere bear unmistakable marks of submersion; that America, Africa and India end in points, all turned towards the South pole; that the islands of the southern re gions have the appearance of the summits of mountain ranges, and that Lt. Maury’s sound- ings show that the coasts on that aide all de- seend apruptly into the sea. He further states the curious tact that in going from the North to the South pole at every parallel the ratio of the extent of land to that of the sea diminishes reg ularly and progressively. Let us now take into consideration the phe- nomenon called the Procession of theEquinoxes, in virtue of which the first point of Aries re- cedes upon the ccliptic by about 50 seconds in a year. This gradually causes a complete change in the seasons: and counting from any given time, there must elapse at least 21,000 before the seasons can return at precisely the same pounds of the year. It has been ascer- tained that up to the year 1248 of the Christian era, a yearin which the first day of winter pre- cisely coincided with the earth's passage through its perihelion, the temperature of the southern hemisphere had been in constant course of diminution. It is moreover clear that after the lapse of 10,500 years the seasons on our globe must be exactly reversed. Hence. about 10.500 years betore the year 124%, or 11.000 years before our present time, it was the north pole, and not its opposite one. whieh was in its maximum of refrigeration; our present continents were then submerged, according to the Mosaic tradition of the Deluge, and there were continents unknown to us in the southern hemisphere. And again, by the same astro- nomieal and natural laws, 10,500 years after the lust cataclysm, a new one will oceur.which will again submerge the northern hemisphere, and allow a new world to emerge from the ocean in the southern one. 2 A Wowan ty Mace Attire Cirses 4 Fanse Lover.—Officer McCarty, who is stationed at the Central depot, arrested a woman dressed in male attire, at the Massasoit House, yester- day morning.

Her black hair was cut short. and but for her voice her disguise would have been perfect.

She says she has been married before. and has a boy eight years of age at school in Decatur Her husband is dead. Last summer she became acquainted with a man who lived in Macon county, and he promised to marry her. Some time since, however, he went to McHenry county to get work, and from that time until the present she had heard nothing from him. Believing him to be false to his word, she donned male attire and set out to find him. She accordingly took the train on the Illinois Central Railroad, and arrived here this morn- ing about nine o'clock, and put up at the Mas- sasoit House, intending to go onto McHenry county to-night. Unfortunately for her project, ® man on board the train, who had known her before, recognised her, and Pointed her out to the officers, who arrested her.
