From the Portsmouth Tribu1e
When the tender hearted crocodile lies
basking in the sand of Mississippiswamp,
with MS upper jaws thrown upon his
back, and great briny tears gushing down
his beautiful cheek, he Is said to be q most
mournful spectacle The vail of the
whang- doodle" mourning for its first
born, sends a shudder to every breast.
The turtle dove is'a sorrowful bird, and
touches the heart of many a discOnsolate
loveysr by its lonely meanings. That
beautiful and affectionate creature called
the " Dodo" Is said TO plunge its head
into the earth, and utter peculiarly
plaintive whistle, with the other extre-
nifty, upon being moved by any deep
grief Words fail TO express the woe Of
the iackal, when he fails to secure the
freshly buried corpse of an unfortunate
traveller. But worse than all this was the
wall at the White House, when the BOBBY
Andrew "cried" over the disgusting farce
of a few South Carolina vipers and Massa-
chusetts lizzards writhing into the Phila-
delphia wigwam in each others arms.

Arenne.seean,s Experience.

The following is an extract from pri-
vate letter received by an Illinois gentle
man from his brother in Tennessee.
Jackson county is on the Kentucky
line, and Is the home of the Copperhead
Representative, Martin, who sued his
brother legislators of the Lower House Of
the Tennessee Legislature for Sl0o, 900,
because they compelled his presence after
he had bolted, in obedienea To his -rAesi@-
a. Washington City, to defeat the ratii-
cation of the constitutional amendment:
JACKSON COUNTY, TENN. Aug. 5, 1866.
DEAR BROTHER: seat myself to ac-
knowledge the result of your much es-
teemed favor, which came to hand about
the first of July; but owing to press Of

could not answer it sooner Court was
coming on, and a great deal of business was
on hand. held the Office of Clerk Of the
Court, and was turned out by false swear
ing rebels and arebel sympathizing Judge.
The rebels have full power now, holding
ali the Offices and ruling the courts at
pleasure. A Union man has no show
among them, for tell you that rebel
cares no more for swearing to lie than
an honest man does for eating when hun
gry. There is no alternative but for reb-
els to rule as long as they are backed by
the President. Although the Legislature
has passed on the amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, and mas
given thenegro equal civil privileges, and
has passed the franchise act, disqualifying
the more obstinate rebels from the ballot
box, we still fear the worst from the stti-
tude of the President and the constantly
increasing hostility of the disloyal, who
are emboldened by him to believe they are
soon to have everything restored to their
control In this county the rebels out
number us six to one. So you see that
the Union men have no show. We have
to listen to rebel preachers, send to school
to rebel teachers, go to mill to rebel mil
lers, go to court where rebel officers are
doing all the business-even holding the
courts dressed in their rebel gray rOunda-
bouts.

THE SHAM FIGHT.

THE SHAM FIGHT
About four O'Clock the troops were
drawn out for the sham fight, designed to
reproduce in harmless way the immortal
battle of Limestone Ridge, with its nov
ing incidents-espesially moving on the
British part-and lis heroic SCIENCES.
The first Veteran Company, under
Lieut.. Swartz, had volunteered to repre-
sent, on this occasion, the Queens Own,"
to play an obnoxious part, and undergo
the humilisting appearance OF defeat, for
the sake of afiOrding entertainment to
their Irish friends. In a similar spirit OF
self-saerifice, the Emmett Guards, under
Lieut.. Vaughn. had taken upon them
selves the character of the Tenth Royals,
and wore flaming red jackets looking 8
little ineongruous IN connection with the
blue pantsioons which they retsin,g4.
Z Col. o Hsra and staff, personatlng lHe
forces to the field selected, in the southern
extremity of the Grove, where they en-
countered the Fenian army Of invasion,
under Gen. O'Neil and Col. Starr-the
British forces forming their line on the
southern side, with the Fenians at the
west. The skirmishers thrown out on each
side exchanged lively fire for moment
or tive, when the Fenian army advanced
with over confidence, found itself in dan
ger Of being flanked by the too extended
lines of the British, and so fell back to
new position. Holly the deluded Red
Goats pressed forward, upon this, as they
did ct Limestone Ridge, fatally full of the
infatuated idea that their proves had al
ready made utter route of the enemy.
Another moment and they were reeling
back, their centre broken, their line des-
troyed, their courage gone, their disci-
pline all vanished, and, with Fenian bay
onets cleaning at their heels, the whole
relocated crowd, with Col. Booker to
show the way, disappeared in a helter
skelter retreat.
"Hewly muther, how they rim" said
the excited Hibernian crowd, as it prom
iscuously went in and joined, men,
women and children in such final charge
upon the luekless Britishers as the best
stuff in Her British Mejesty's armies
could never stand before an instant.
And so the field of Limestone Ridge
was triumphantly re-won, to the great ex-
citement and delight of twelve or fifteen
thousand spectators. The whole affair
did not last more than ten minutes, but
was admirably managed, and gave as
spirited representation Of battle as
could be produced on such q scale.
