B0- A Mobile correspondent of the
Louisville Courier writes thus from Mo-
bile of date the goth instant:
Three of the four negro perpetrators of
the monstrous outrages upon the Peters
family, nearly three months ago, were
convicted in the court on Wednesday
last, of rape and robbery, and the jury
affixed the extreme penalty for the former
offense-death. The details OF the crime,
as related in the testimony of Mr.. Peters
and his unfortunate wife and little girl,
we're horrible and revolving to the last
degree. The woman and child were
violated by three of the black wretches,
and the girl was so badly injured that her
recovery was for loug time doubtful
A surgeon testified that she had been
mutilated with knife. The house was
robbed of everything the negroes could
carry away, including $1,000 in gold and
paper -,
tity of the criminals They spent four
hours from clock to l2) in their hor-
rible orgie of crime, and although they
were personally known to the family,
took no pains 10 ulSEulse thoii 'OiSSS v.
faces, lighting all the candles they could
fnd. One Of them, a mulatto, had
blackened his face, as was shown by the
SCOT or "smut" left on the persons and
clothes of the victims. They had, it
seems, planned to leave this part of the
cou ntry, and thought their escape Sc
cure. One Of them managed to get
away. and is still at large, in Texas it is
said.
The busy philanthropists who believe
that the negro can do no wrong must
bestir themselves, or their sportive pro-
teges, who, in torturing helpless white
family almost to death, did nothing more
than carry to its legitimate end the
teaching they had received, will surely
and speedily suffer the mild penalty
awarded by the law. | know Of but 6ne
person who has the inclination and the
mower to interfere to any purpose In
their behalf, and that is General Wager
Swayne, in military command OF Ala
hama. 1t remains to be seen whether,
with all his love for the negro and hatred
of Southern whites, he desires or dares
to protect and countenanee the most
abominable crimes under the sun, simply
because their perpetrators are blacks and
the victims whites.

Cen. Forests Personal Daring.

The following tribute by soldier Of
the "Lost Cause to our heroic fellow
townsman, appears in Pollard's Southern
Opinion for the current week;
served IA correspondent writes us
from Alabama) in the command Of Gen.
N. B. Forrest during the whole Of the
latter part of the war. Just before the
termination of the contest, when Gen.
Forrest was being driven back towards
Selma by an overwhelming force of the
enemy, witnessed feat of intrepidity
and wonderful strength which equaled
any Of the most daring deeds Of the age
of chivalry The Generals troopers,
thinned by continued conflicts, and de-
moralized also by the sad intelligence
OF Lee 8 and Johnston's surrender, were
assailed by heavy Federal force near
Montevallo. After brief. stand, they
gave way, and fed In every direction.
Mortified by this conduct of his men,
and wholly unable to rally them, their
commander coolly wheeled his horse, and
awaited the onset of the foe alone AS
their head column advanced to about one
hundred yards Of where he stood, three
of them recognized him, and drawing
their sabres, and with a fierce hurnah,
rushed at the intrepid partizan, intend
ing to cut him down. Very deliberately
Forrest grasped his sword, and braced
himself in the stirrups. On rode the
first of the Yankee cavalrymen; but the
moment he came within reach, the Cen
eral with a terrible sweep Of his blade,
severed the troopers head almost en-
tirely from his body; then whlrling in
his seat, in time to parry the blow OF the
next assailant, he, with another powerful
stroke, hurled him lifeless to the ground.
Although this gallant feat had been
accomplished with the rapidity of
thought, the General found himself sur
rounded by the main body of Yankees;
so drawing his revolver, and firing right
and left as he ran, he broke through
their ranks like tornado
While passing at full speed by Gen.
Roddy, quarter of mile to the rear,
the General, not recognizing him, ex-
claimed:
"Halt halt you d-d coward, and
try to check the enemyP
Merely waving his arm, as if in dis.
dain, Forrest rode on until he had
reached the larger portion of his scat
tered command
In an instant after Gen. Roddy came
up and apologized for the rude manner
in which he had unwittingly addressed
his brother officer.
"Why, l thought" he said, you
we're some skulking private, half fright
ened out of his wits And, by Jove,
General" he added, you were making
magnificent timep T.

elevation of the eyebrows, you see my
Internal horse has q trick of running
