In the old cliurch-towcr
Hangs the bell;
And above it on the vane,
In the sunshine and the rain.
Cut in gold, St. Peter stands,
With the keys in his two iiands,
And all is well!
, In the old church-tower I
ll?ngs the bell:
You can hear lis great Heart new:
AU .'-so loud, and wild, and sweet?
As the parson says a prayer
Over happy lovers there,
While all is well'
In the old church-tower
llaugg the bell,
J'eep.and solemn. Hark' again;
Ah what p*.-si'on and what pain !
With her hands upon her breast,
i^ome poor soul has gone to rest,
Where till is well

Hangs the bell:

All our joy and all our woe ;
It is glad when we are wed?
It is sad when we are dead

Atrocities of tho Enemy in North '
Alabama.
The darkest chapter ia the history of
this cruel war, if out ia any other war,
will record the atrocities of the Yankees
wherever, in the Confederate States, they
have been permitted to march their thieving
brutal hordes Their deeds, so in j
violation of all the rules of civilized or j
humane warfare, eutitle thera to a place j
in history with the Goths and Vandals j
who overrun and laid waste StJhthcrn
Europe. Intent upflu 'their barbarous
errand, they have shown themselves entirely
wanting in the instincts of common
humanity, much less possessing any of
the traits of a civilized or humane people.
They have not been satisfied to take
v possession of a portion of Confederate
territory, tbey must needs make it a w?stc,
howling wilderness, by destroying the
provieions,H!)uildings, fences, agricultural
implements, stocks, etc., and driving defenceless
old men, women and cbildren
into the woods, ir. many instances seating
Are to their bouses over their heads. We
take from the Montgomery Mail the following
account of their atrocities in North
liauauia
In no portion of the Confederate States j
b#ve they acted-more barbarous and cruel
than in tbc Northern portion of Alabama, j
A journey through parts of Jackson, '
Madison, Limestone and Lauderdale
counties would recall to mind the descriptions
of Greece through which the Turkish
fire aud sword had gone, or ^?e utter
destruction of whole sections of Poland
by the Russian hordes. We have
been lately put in possession of the facts
in detail of certain Yankee atrocities iu
Limestone and Lauderdale counties, which
it is well to put on record for the information
of the world. In the former
' Sr county, the outrages were committed by
*"V the 9th Illiuois RegimeHt, commanded by
Lieut. Col. Jesse J. Phillips, of Belvillc,
' Illinois.
_ Oh Jan\nry 25th, General Roddy,
with a small portion of his command,
attacked the forces of Lieut. Col. Phillips,
- ? . * *
who were cucampcd ucar and id tue grove
of Mrs. Coleman, the widow of Judge
Daniel Coleman, deceased. The enemy's
pickets were driven iuto the encampment,
when they, with those of the forces
who were in camp, took shelter behind
\ the dwelling house of Mrs. Coleman.
They fired a few rounds and fled in perfect
consternation.
One of our sccrct scouts, who was in
the enemy's lirfes a day or two after the
raid, says that the treatuieut of tZJol.
Phillips' men to * Mrs. Coleman and
family was unparalleled in the history of
the war. Our men, having accomplished
their purpose, were scarcely out of sight,
when-the Yankees jrushed back to their
encampment perfectly infuriated because
* of their defeat. To avenge themselves,
they rushed into the house of Mrs. Coleman
with fire brands, and built up a large
i
fire in one of the handsomest parlors.
The mother and daughter implored them
not to burn.the house, but thev heeded
not their entreaties. They pushed them
violently out of the house, drawfhg pistols
on them both. In a few hours that
I portion of the command which was on a
scout at the-time of the attack by Gen.
I Roddy, which was commanded ny Aiajor j
[ Ivubue, returned to cuaip. They rushed j
into the house of Mrs. Coleman, and
commenced plundering. Mrs. Coleman
appealed to Major Kuhne to coutrole his
men and to give her his protection as a
defenceless female. He ordered her from
his presence, saying : "JVoman, go
away, I have no protection for you. Men,
pitch into her house, and sack it^rom
bottom to top." ,
The vandals needed no encouragement
from their officer, butimmcdiately obeyed
"his order to do tbeir work of destruction.
Mrs. Coleman had with her tiyo little
boys, Lor ouly protection, she having lost
in this cruel war two as uoble and brave
sons as mother ever had, and her oldest
son is now abseut in tire sorvicc of his
country. Iler little boys were torn from
her in the night, put uudcj' guard, and
carried to the jail. Their mother plead
with the Colonel for their release, when
he added to her already unutterable anguish
by saying that he would have to
scud tho older ouc of tbe boys to Xortlieru
prisons. He, however, relented in a
few days after torturiug their mother
sufficiently, usjic thought, and released
the hoys from their imprisonment. Mrs.
Colcmuu and"daughter were urivcu from
their home in the night to seek.refuge iu
the towu of Atheus, which was about
oue mile distant. The furniture, which
was of the fiuest rosewood, was split up.
The marble slabs to the bureaus and
washstands were brokcu iu to pieces, mirrors
were shattered, haqdsom.e Brussels
carpets cut up iuto saddle blankets, beds
dragged out itfto camp with all the bed
clothiug, including the finest blankets and
Marseilles (juilts.
The portrait of Judge Coleman, also
that of Mrs. Coleman, were so pierced
by their bayonets that they coulJ nut be
recognized. All of the table ware and
several pieces of silver were taken out
iuto camp. Several handsome silk dresses
and other articles of clothing belonging
to the family were taken. A little trunk
which Mrs. Coleman prized more than
anythiug else,, because it contained the
mementoes and letters of her nobie sons,
who had giveu their precious lives to
their country, was broken open, and their
precious contents destroyed by their infamous
hauds. The books of a largo aud
select libiary were scattered through the
camp aud destroyed. All of Miss Coleman's
music was taken. Alter the completion
of their work of destruction, the
oflicers, Major Kaline and others, took
possession of the house and are now
quartered iu it. Mrs. Coleman, daughter,
aud two sons, were ordered out of
the* Yankee lines. Mrs. Coleman's
health would no^ admit of her coming
out, hence her order was recir.dcd. Miss
Coleman and her two little brothers are
now exiles in our Hues.
Col. Phillips took Mr. Crenshaw, a
respectable citizen of Limestone, into his
teut and demanded his money. Crenshaw
handed his pocket book and some
loose change he had in his vest pocket.
Colonel. Phillips asked if that was all.
Mr. Crenshaw replied no, and Phillips
demanded tbc balance, and took from his
person five thousand dollars belted around
his person. This uiau is trying to equal
Butler,"the Beast, and is the representative
of the Liucolu Government.
In Lauderdale Couuty the conduct of
tbc enemy has been as bad as in Limestone.
This county is continually ravaged
by bands of tories, who have been armed
by the enemy. They are stealing alllhe
horses, mules and cotton.
?On the 2d February John "Wesson, a
tory, shot and killed. Lewis C. Moore,
an aged and highly respectable citizeu, a
member of the Commissioner's Court.
Wesson is a young man, and had been
reared in Moore's neighborhood, and
Moore was in the act of shaking hands
with him when Wesson shot him.
It is almost a truth, that nations arc
thoroughly great and heroic only when
they have lost the illusions of arrogant
hope; and the love of wealth and
material prosperity. The indepeudencc
of North America was achieved in the '
"times which tried men's sofcls." The
first Revolutionary war was fought by
the American fathers without a Government
without a treasury, virtually without
an army, and by means cf what it
wouid.be a moOscry to call money.

Southern Generals Described by c
an Englishman. t
One of the latest works on the war is j
entitled "Three Months in the Southern s
States?by Lt. Col. Frccinantle, Cold- p
stream Guards." The New York Xcwe g
makes the following extracts from the p
book: *' ij
GENERAL LEE. ' a
General Lee is, alufost without excep- j
t.ion, the handsomest man of his age I t
ever saw. He is fifty six years old, tall,
broad-shouldered, very well made, well
set up ?a thorough soldier in appearance;
and his manners arc most courteous and j,
full of dignity. Lie is a perfect "gentleman
in every respect. I imagine no man j,
has so fcw enemies, or is so universally
esteemed. Throughout the South, ail
agroc in pronouncing him to be 3s near
perfection as a man can he. He has none ^
of the small vices, such as smoking,
0 ? # C'
drinking, chewing or swearing, and his t|
bitterest enemy never accused, him of any g
of the greater ones. lie generally wears n
a well worn long gray jacket, a high black ,
felt hat, and blue trowsers tucked into
his Wellington boots. I never saw him
carry arms; and the only mark of his .
military rank are the three stars under .
% y It
his collar. lie rides a handsome horse, j,
which, is extremely well groomed. lie ^
himself is very neat in his drCss and per
son, and in the most arduous inarches lie j
always looks smart and clean. j
In the old army he was always consid- (
ered one of the best officers; ajid at the t
outbreak of these troubles he was'Lieut. a]
Colonel of the Second Cavalry. lie was ^
rv rich man, but his line estate was one of t]
the first to fall iato the enemy's hands, p
I believe he has never slept in a house p
since he has commanded the army of j,
Virginia, and he ihvariably declines all j p
offers of hospitality, for fear the person '
offering it may afterward get into trouble ;
for having sheltered the rebel General, j
The relations bctwecu him and Longstrcet I ^
are quite touching?they are almost al- J^u
ways together. Longstreet's corps com-: C]
plain of this sometimes, as they say.that j n
they seldom get a chance of detached
service, which falls to tho lot of EwelL S(
It is impossibly to please, Longstrcet ;ja
more than by praising Lee. I believe j ^
the two Generals to be as little ambi- ^
tif md as thoroughly unselfish as auy j
men . the world, lloth long for a sue- q
cessful termination of the war, in order .i
tl
that they may retire into obscurity, j
Stoucwall Jaeksou (until his death the ^
third in command of their army) wasjust | t(
such a simple-minded servant of his coun- j
I
try It is understood that Gen: Lee is a V
religious man, though not so demonstra-1 ^
tive in that respect as Jaeksou ; and, j g|
unlike his late brother in arms, be is a I
member of the Church of England. His j
only faults, so far as I can lerfrn, arise ^
from his excessive amiability. j
GENERAL JOSEPH E. JOHNSON,
.
in appearance, is rather below the middle j
height, spare, soldier-like, and well set up; j
his features are good, and he has lately .
taken to wear a grayish beard. He is a ^
Virginian by birth, and 57 years old. lie (j
talks in a calm, deliberate, and confident i
e
manner ; to me he was extremely affable, .
. ti
but be certainly possesses the power of .
keeping people at a.distance wheu be tj
chooses, and his ofliccrs evidently stand ^
in great awe of him. lie has undoubt- ^
cdly acquired the entire confidence of ail g,
the oiliccrs and soldiers under -him.
Many of the officers tuld we they did not ^
consider him inferior to Lee or any one
else. Gen. Johnston is a very well read ^
man, and agreeable to converse with. He
told me that he considered Marlborough ,
? h
a greater General than. Wellington. All
Americans have an iutense admiration
for Napoleon j and the^ seldom scruple
to express their regret that he was beaten
at Waterloo. b
Remarking upon the extreme prcva- g
lcncc of military titles, Gen. Johnston said,
"you must be astonished to fiud a
how fond all Americans arc of titles, t
though they are republicans, aud, as they ; t
can't get any other sort they all take j n
military ones." While seated arouua s
the cauip fire, an officer remarked to me, c
"1 ean assure you, Colonelj that nine-men ti
out of ten in the South would sooner be- t
come subjects of Queen Victoria than re- g
turn to the Union." "Nine out of ten !!' 0
said (jeneral Johnston, "ninety-nine out L
of a hundred : I consider that few pco- t
pie in the world cau be more fortunate in ^
their government than the British Colo- b
uies of North America." General John- I
stou told me that the principal evils a
Confederate General had to contend
against consisted in the difficulty of ma- ?i
1-infT combinations, owing to the uncer- s
tainty about the time whieh the troops would
take to inarch a certain distance r
r
t
n account of their straggling proponsi- j (
ics. j&tjfitfd nic be had been wounded
en tim^TSpcaking of Stonewall Jackon,
be said that "ahhough be did not
iosscss any great qualifications as astrate- ?
;isf, and was perhaps uufit for the inde- ^
endent command of a large army, yet
ie was gifted with wonderful courage ^
nd determination, and a perfect faith in
'rovidence that be was destined to desc

cars of age. lie would be very youth- j.
ll in appearance w^rc it not. lor the j(
olor of his hair, which is much grayer ])
lan his earlier photographs represent, j,

lanncr in wbveh bis hair turned gray by '
llusion to his cares.and anxieties during 1 ^
ic past two years; but the real and less j j
imantic reason is to be found in the j
gidity of the Yankee blockade,' which ^

le has a long, straight nose, handsome ^
rown eyes, aud a dark moustache with- ^

le Yaukees so much employment that ^
icy would be uuableto spare many men

rable success, considering tliat be had '

Ic said his official orders, both from the i

a
lonfcderates being unanimous in the de- j
jruiiuatiou tliat whatever happened the ;

Liat so doing would demoralize the army

-J-eneral Forre'sst's Reception at

The reception of Gen. Forrest in tlfis
ity was as complimentary to bun as it
vus creditable-to the community. On
londay, the 14th, nearly th<S entire
lopulation of the city and surrpundiug
ountrv was fnund nil the nublin srmarft.
.'he anxious and enthusiastic crowd waitd
until dark for the arrival of the Gepral,
hut how sadly were they disapointcd
when it was announced that he
puld not reach Aberdeen before 9 o'clock,
n accoupt of unexpected detention at
Jolumbos on important business. When
rcn. Forrest arrrived be was escorted to
he mansion of our hospatablc fellow-citsen,
James D. McAllister, where a most
legant apd sumptuous supper was prepared
for him and hip friends. Late as
t was, the people flooked in to sec tko
jan who had so gallantly defeuded their
loincs from desecration The next day
!cn. Forrest received his friends at the
csidcnce of llcv. ]>. B. Barker. For six
ours there was a coutiuual stream pouring
in to grasp the hand so often raised
j defence of his country. Parties, dinjgs,
collations and every kind of dofnontrutiyu
was offered the Gcperel, but he
referred business to pleasure, and at 3
'clock he left amidst the shouts and
rayers of a grateful people.
This manifestation was not misplaced,
iut for his energy, gctiious and foresight,
Irierson would have formed a junction
ith Sherman, 'and could then have
assod from Meridian to Seltna, Muut
;orucry?, Albanta and Chattunug.
rcD. Forrest made a profound impress>u
on the people here, llis lofty bea>ig,
affability and gentlemanly deporticut
captivated all that made his acuaintance.
Because he is terrible in
attle, and possessed of an honest roughess
in grappling with the enemy, it has
eretofore been supposed that ho is-uatrually
a rough may, devoid of all refined
:cling. The writer of this has known
iui long and intimately. He has been

Movements of Archduke -Maxi,
rrfilian. ".y .
Pairs, MurcbvH. ?:At lait I .am-ablc
to announce the arrival among as of the
titular Emperor of Mexico and hia"wife,
the Archduchess, who reached the Northern
railway station at 4 o'clock on
Saturdav last, and were thence conduc.
ted to the. Tuillcries io the imperial carriage.
The Archduke is a -gpojl and
intelligent looking man, thirty-two'years
old,'if I. mistake not, and as you arc no
doubtaware, next brothor to the Emperor
of Austria. His love of travel and adventure,
and dislike of th<^stiffness atid' pedantry
of Austrian military liffe, indeed ..N
him to chose the navy fo? bis profifetopf^ ^ x
and since the age of sixteen he has been
much at sea, visiting all the coast of the
Mediterranean, the Lronch provinces i
Africa, as Spain, Portugal, Mexico tind >o."Maderia.
.
In 185-1, when ouly twenty-two
old, he was placed at the head of tb#* *??2?Austrian
marine, and pursued his travels PHBIk
and investigation, with avidity, soiling - -wwS8K
about the Archipelago and the coast of
UJH.a ,u U1;,
with a squadron of seventeen vessels.
lie then .proceeded to visit Palestine
and Jerusalem, passed through ^gypt,
into the lied sea, whtcli he investigated .
with great care,* as lie* did also the works'
then proceeding of the Suez Canal. He - *
is said to have always manifested a. partiality
for the Emperor Napoleon 111 J .
and it is reported of him that when at
Trieste, in December, 1852, the telsgrapl>
brought him the news of the restoration
of the empire, he immediately invited
?the whole consular body to a public
entertainment, placed the French
Consul ou his right baud, and proposed
the health of Napo'con 111, before that
sovereign had been recognized by any of ^
the- powers of Europe. *? '
The Emperor is not a man to forget
such an incident, and hence perhaps,
the predilection manifested for his pre ? .
sent protege. The- Archduke was last
iu Paris iu ISdi), when he stayed a
fortnight, in a very private manner, with
he wasJviglaud, returning by Belgium,
when he saw, admired, and do- '
manded in marriag^the Princess Marie
Charlotte, daughter of Orleans, daughter
of Louis Philippe. It is a somewhat. ' ' ** -j
strange coincidence to see the grand
daughter of Kihg Louis Phillippc arrive
at the Tullcries as the guest of a Bouebartc,
and to see the mau who deprived
her family of a lacge portiou of their ^
family property, patroniziug her- hus
baud; and professing to bestow upon
hirnjxn empire, such as it is.
Soon after his inarrirgc, the Archduke
was made Governor Geueral of the Lorn-'
bardo Veuetiau Kingdom, in which high
and difficult position lie acquitted himself
iu such a way as to make Cavour
say that "he was the most dangerous
adversary Italaiu indepoudcncc had ever
had to oucouutcr." lie made himself,
iu fact, so popular as almost in reconcile
Loinbaruy aud Vcpice to the Austrian
yoke. Fortunately, perhaps, for Italy,
his success ouly excited the uarrow-miud
ed jealousy of the cabinet of- Venice,
aud he was removed from his .Government.
,
IV aceoflut of the receptiou of the
imperial visitors by their hosls.at the - a
Tuillcries is recorded by the^ court papers
as follows: "The Fniperor deccudcd v *33
six (just "six" steps and no more) of the
grand staircase to meet his guests. His - .
Majesty then "embraced" the Archduke,
"shook hands" with the Archduchess . - 3
(which seems to me to he rather reversing
the natural order of things), and then,
giving his arm to the latter, and leaviug, -.J
the Empress to the care of the Archduke.
The usual routrue of graud diuncrs
and receptions arc taking place in hopor ?
of the visitors, but the Archduke still
loves his 'independent aud erratic habits,
and is fond of stoaliug away- incog with
his ivife, a pretty lively French woman,
aud visitiug the Paris shops to make , * .. #
purchases. In a few days they will proceed
to Euglaud to bid adieu to Queen * . '
.. . . . * rf
Victoria, who is cousin to the Arch- '
. * ?4
duchess, aud to King Leopold, her father- 4
