Hang one for land or two for sea and I on the opposite shore will be this courier said. Who is he?
This line is from the 1861 Longfellow poem the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. " listen my children and you shall hear the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the eighteenth of April in Seventyfive. Hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year. He said to his friend if the British March by land or sea from town tonight hang a lantern in the belfry arch of the North Church tower as a signal light. One if by land and two if by sea. And I on the opposite shore will be." One reason he states in the first lines of the poem that hardly a man remembers is because the poem was written almost a 100 years AFTER the event. By the way Revere didn't finish the ride because he ran into a British patrol and Prescott did get the job done.

What does the bats are in the bell for you mean?
I believe the cliche you are referring to is "bats in the belfry." A belfry is a bell tower, commonly located on the topmost part of buildings, namely churches. Bats commonly fly around them in their erratic fashion. To say one has "bats in his belfry" is to say he is a bit batty, or considered to be somewhat crazy.
