 An intense excitement was created on Sunday, in the township of Anderson, c. ", about twelve miles from this city, by the perpetration of an outrage by a num- i Der of negroes on the persons and ] property of several white citizens,- the details of which have reached us in an imperfect state, but from reliable sources. It would appear that the diff culty originated in the ill-feeling which has lately been growing up between the negroes and the Canadian citizens, a sen timent which found vent iH the late pre- sentiment of the Grand Jury of the coun- ty, i'll which that body set forth the griey- ances resulting from the vast influx of criminals to- the country by means of the Enegro immigration, and adverted in the seyerest terms to the worthless character and siliftless disposition of large major ity of the negro population resident near and upon the borders. This action, to- gether with the generally unfavorable opinion entertained among the citizens in regard to the negroes, caused great disturbance among the latter, and many threats were made It will be recollected that a number of cases of the most fla grant crime occurred not long since, inn diately followed by the burning of the entire property of citizen who had open " taken sides against the negroes. This =. .S ,s 'sst e the presant proceed iaes all of which are undoubtedly the result of a combined conspiracy for the purposes of robbery and revenge.
 An indignation meeting was held by the negroes last week, when certain meas ures were resolved upon which were at the time unknown but which may proba- bly receive an explanation in the events which we are about to record At about 12 2o'clock on Saturday night, four went to the house of Mrs. Greyeau, situ- ated about two miles from the river, and made a concerted attack upon 1t. The inmates consisted of the mistress of the house-a respectable, aged wornan-and three men who boarded with her. These were George Clark, Solomon Boumbray, and another man named Edwards, who was in the employ of Clark. All of them belonged to the anti-negro party, and had made themselves obnoxious by their zeal Tn denouncing the race in the strongest terms on account of their misdeeds in that particular vicinity. When the house was attacked they defended themselves in the best manner possible, but, as they were destitute of firearms, the invading party soon effectedan entrance. The ne gyoes were armed with knives and clubs. and although the white men fought des- perately, they were in the end overpower- ed, knocked down, and beaten and cut in the most terrible manner. The old lady was then attacked and beaten in an inhu- man style, and after being rendered help less by the cruelty of the ruffians, was subjected to the most fiendish indignities and wrongs that can be inflicted on wo- mankind.
 Having accomplished their work of outrage and destruction, the band de- parted leaving their victims lying in their blood, and the house almost a wreck. Then the neighbors visited the place in the morning, they found all of the family in a speeches. state except one, who was able to give the names of the assailing party. They were all frightfuIly cut and bruised, and two of them, Clark and Boumhray, so much injured that there is no hope of their recovery. The third lies in critical condition, and the old lady is so much injured that it is doubtful if she ever fully recovers.

 arresting the whole party. They wes
 found to be four notorious desperadoes
 namely; Bill Stevens, George Miner
 and two brothers named Leak. As sool
 as their arrest became known, there wa
 q general uprising of the negro popula
 ton. and before they could be transporte,
 to Sandwich for confinement in tn
 county jail, they were rescued by al
 armed mob and set at liberty.
 This at once infamed the resentmen
 of the white citizens, and there was general commotion throughout the town ship, causing the two opposing parties ] white and black, to come into collision with imminent danger of popular out
 break. All the officers were summoned from the adjoining township of Maiden and citizens were dispatched to Windso yesterday for additional assistance, Mir R. Wingfeld, magistrate, accompanie,
 by an officer, was in Windsor yesterda, to obtain assistance. and officers ane citizens went down the river with hin prepared for any emergency The citi zens are determined upon arresting tn, murderous band who committed the out rages, and the negro population are dis posed to protect them, and there is con sequently great danger of general dis turbance. The whites and blacks II that and the adjoining township are abou equally divided in numbers and while the latter are villainous and desperate the former are resolute and determined to protect themselves from repeated out rages. We should not be surprised tc hear ot general onslaught upon the negroes with view to their expulsion from the township. The indignation and excitement is intense, and very like ly to lead to serious results. We shall undoubtedly hear further from the scene of action to-day.
