It is curious as to the circumstances and the persons concerned.

The late Earl was first married in Scotland, in the loose way which is permitted in that country, and a son was born. The lady had some scruples about being married in the Scotch way, and persuaded her husband to be re-married in England, English fashion. Another son was born afterwards, and this youth it is who now contends that the second marriage only is valid, that his elder brother is illegitimate, and himself is the true Earl. The old whose son is thus attempting to dishonor the mother, was a famous man, in his day. He was the Lord Cochrane, whose various adventures in England and elsewhere made him talked ol for many years as a daring and brilliant adventurer.

He was a member of the British House of Commons, while an officer in the navy, when he was tried, con-Tictc' and imprisoned, for swindling operh on the Stock Exchange. The charge was based upon some use he made fraudulently of official information, or the fabrication of war news, we forget which. He was convicted and sentenced to a fine of 1000 and to remain imprisoned until paid. He held out stubbornly for a while but finally paid the money in a bank bin, with an endorsement on it to the effect that he paid it on compulsion, and hoped to live to bring his persecutors to justice. He was successful to this extent, that the verdict was subsequently pronounced to have been an unjust one, and the conviction a gross wrong.

lie paid his fine, and was released from prison just in time to take his seat in the House of Commons, and vote with the opposition on a bill for making an increase of allowance to the Duke of Cumberland, the king's son. The bill was lost, by a majority of that one vote. Lord Cochrane was a dashing naval nicer, and made himself famous by cutting out a French ship under circumstances of great daring, and by other personal exploits. While under the cloud of the conviction for swindling, he roamed into South America, entered into the naval service of Peru, and became Admiral of the Peruvian fleet, in which position he exhibited the same qualities for command. Returning1 to England, he was received with distinction, and his opinion on military and naval subjects were sought for on public occasions, as carrying the weight of great professional authority.

His long and eccentric career was closed only a few years ago, and now his sons are at deadly enmity with each other, the younger attempting to rob the elder of his birth-right, by defaming- their common mother. This Admiral Cochrane is not the admiral of that name who was so notorious as the British commander on the American Btation in 1812. That was Sir Alexander Cochrane, uncle of Lord Thomas, who was afterward Earl of DundonalJ. The conduct of this younger Cochrane in claiming the earldom on the ground of nis Drotuer illegitimacy, oasea on an informality of marriage, is in marked con trast with that of the Berkeley family, under similar circumstances. The old Earl of Berkeley made a secret marriage with an obscure young woman, but the marriage was not doubted in tact, and they lived unquestioned as earl and countess, and had several sons.

For some reason, connected, if we remember right, with the want of a legal paper, they were Kmarn'ul V-. ncu ian.ell to affirm the lawfulness of the first mar riage. After the earl's death, his first son's right to the title was disputed on proceedings originating out of the family. Lhe House of Lords pronounced the first marriage not proved. The expectant Earl became therefore only Col.

Berkeley, and was famous under that name for his extravigances and his gallantries. His father had bequeathed to him all the estates he could control, and being a great landholder with large Parliamentary influence, he was made a Peer by the Whig government, first as Lord then as Earl Fitzharding. In the meantime the title of Earl of Berkeley should have descended to the first of the sons born after the remarriage. This was Admiral Sir Maurice Berkeley but he refused to take his seat in the Lords or to use the title, on the ground that it would be a stigma upon tho memory of his mother, whose first marriage be would not consent to have questioned. There is this difference between this Berkeley and that Cochrane, that the first refuted a title, which the law crowded upon him, because he would not bo willingly a party to the defaming of his mother memory and the last is seeking for an unjust judgment to bastard.

Breckinridge telegraphed her fate to Gen. Van Dora, and the dispatches are published in the Mvfjaaip- pian.

The messenger tells me she fought them well lor some time, mulcting some damage. She was blown np by tbe crew, and the messenger thinks nearly all escaped.

There being no water between here and the Mississippi river, I was compelled to come here for it. I moved at my own time and in order. We burned nearly all their camps and a large amount 01 stores, and cat them np badly. Gen. Williams and other prominent Federal officers are killed.

The Ulssissippian says that movements are In progress that may yet cause the Baton Booge affair to assume an aspect to call forth oar gratulations. The small force of Confederates under Gen.

Depredation in Virginia. The Rich mond Examiner, while denouncing the Federal armies in Virginia for their de predations upon the land, stock, and other private property ot the people, occupying the line of their march, adds Bat what will the people of the South and the world think when we tell them that whilst the Yankee invaders were laying waste the land, destroying the crops and butchering the stock of our farmers on the north of the Cbick-abominy, oar own tioops, the men who had rushed to defend from capture and spoliation tbe capital of tbe Confederacy, were engaged in a precisely similar bueinees in the country on the sooth side of that stream 1 This would seem incredible, bat it ia, nevertheless, a sad and baniiiiatiDg tact, tbe truin of which is susceptible of ocular demonstration. To-day a stranger traveling over tbe devastated country lying between Richmond and Cold Harbor wCnld fail to distinguish where the lines lately occupied by oar army ceased and those of the Yankees began. With the exception of the farm occupied aa headquarters by Gen Lee, and two or three other farms occupied by tbe Major Uenerala under biui, tbe whole country baa been ruined and literally laid waste. We will particularize one instance where we might as easily cite fifty.

Col. Robert Morris owns a frm on tbe Mechanics- vule turnpike, four miles east of this city. At the time of the falling back of our army from the PeL insula, this place 'was well fenced and stocked, and provided with all the machinery neaal on tbe farma of men of means. No sooner was it occupied by our troops than they, apparently unrestrained by discipline or any orders from their officers, commenced the work ot (Foliation and destruction. They burnt up every panel of his fence, even to his garden palings, smashed his ma- cbineiy and agricultural implements; ran sacked bis earden, pulling up ann (itira .3 Brwnuig afaitig, aua wound up their operations by entering his cabins and stealing nis negroes cioioing.

in consequence of this wanton ceEtrnction 01 everything perishable, me place was leiias oare and desolate as it had been occupied by the whole Yankee armr. and, indeed, it in no respect differed from farms actually occupied by them on the oppo cite bank of the Chlckahominv. At tha time that his property was being destroyed before his eyes, Cot. Morris, who is well known for his liberality and patriotism, would gladly have contributed anything and everything in his power to have aided our cause or given comfort to our army. The same may be said, with truth, of all the other gentlemen wnose iaims, use bis, nave been wantonly laid waste by our own soldiers.

Though culpable to a certain extent, tbe common sol dier in tbe army is not mainly responsible for their own vandalism. Their officers are the parties responsible. They are clothed with almost despotic power over their men, and are not slow to exercise it upon occasions touching their personal vanity and ease and with that rower it is their duty to restrain the troops under their command from acts of pillage and wantonness which would have baen and were, disgraceful in an enemy. Plon-Plon and Clothilde. The Paris cor respondent of the New York Herald says The accouchment of the Princess Clothilde ij expected in July or the commencement of August, and the Empress, who has from the outset preserved the kindest and most intimate relation with the young Princess, will 'miMi her at St.

Cloud on that interesting occasion. The Princess Clothilde is another of the many instances of woman's gentle influence on the rugged nature of man- Oh if women were wise, how happy would they be to set up for their crest the willow and not the oak for it is by bending to the blast and not resisting it, that they become absolute masters of a stab-born soil. When Prince Napoleon took this interesting child from her father's house, ail who knew the immoral habits of the man. his turbulent yet fickle temper, and his general scorn of these petitt $oin which the feebler tex expect, lifted up their brows and hands in ditmay. The commencement of his wedded life was certainly coBrfirmatory of their worst fears, lie never broke with any of his former liatom, bnt his carriage might be seen night and day at the door of women of the most scandalous Uvea He was never seen at home.

Bis father performed the marital role of attending theaPrincess in public; and the poor thing, as she drove by, was far more compassionated than envied by the humblest of those who gazed at her. Little by little her virtues, her piety, her boundless charity, her feminine affability to every one who approached, began to endear her to the hearts of all, without respect to party. Prince Napoleon was more and more despised for his unapcreeiation of such excellence, bat by degrees the dark clouds began to break. The wionttrum horrendum was seen to desert his old haunts, to be more and more by the side of his wife, till at last it comes out that he has been converted into the most affectionate of husbands and she into the most devoted of wives. She has only to convert the Prince into an Achilles to be set down as a positive enchantress.

I am afraid this is beyond her strength. The Prince, from the first, admitted to nis intimates that he never bad and never should have any military talent, and 1 believe it always been with the greatest reluctance that he has ever found a command forced upon him. Employing Contraband. A New York paper states that Gen.

from Richmond. Richmond, August 7. About three thousand Confederate prisoners have arrived here; the officers from Fort Warren, where they were treated kindly, bat the men, who were confined at Fort Delaware, have been compelled to work on the fortifications. Among those returned are the crews of the privateers Petrel, Savannah and gunboats Jeff. Davis, Beauregard, Dixie and Sumter 82 in all.

Tbe enemy are active on both sides of James river, and are disposed to advance from Frederic keb org. The returned prisoners will join their commands. RichxosT), An gust 7. Gen. Stuart left Hanover Courthouse on Monday last, with Lee's cavalry, and proceeded te within eight miles of Fredericksburg.

He there learned that two brigades of the enemy had gone in the direction of Hanover Junction, and he went in pursuit, overtaking the rear guard at Malta pony. A sharp tkirmieh took place, in which he captuied sixty prisoners, when the enemy were reinforced, and having a strong position on riting Gen. Stuart fell back. The enemy did not pursue. In the meantime a detachment, sent for the purpose, captured a train of twelve wagons and fifty soldiers, on the Fredericksburg road.

Gen. Stuart returned to Hanover Courthouse last night. 1 Richmond, August 7. One hundred and ten prisoners from Pope's army, taken by Stuart's cavalry, near Gordonsville, arrived to-night by special train. No officers among them, and no particulars of their capture received.

Distance of the Fixed Stars. It is not yet twenty-five years since the distance of a fixed star was measured. This was a star-of the sixth magnitude, in the constellation Cyguas, and its parallax was found to be less than four-tenths of a second of space, which corre sponds with a distance of mean distances of the earth from the sun, and which requires a period of nine years for the transmission of its light This great teat was first accomplished iu IS 10, by that illustrious, Belf-tangbi astronomer and mathematician, Friedrich Wilheloi Beeeel, after three years of untiring application to tbe problem, and constituted aa important epoch in the history of sidereal astronomy. The nearest fixed star yet known is Alpua Centauri, a star of first magnitude in the siutn- ern hemisphere. This star is nearly twauty millions of millions of miles from oar sun a distance which would require nearly inroo years for its light to reach down to ns.

it was formerly supposed mat the larger stars were much nearer to us than the fainter ones but this is found not to bo tbe case wiih all of them. The neaxeet star is of Uie tirot magnitude yet there are stars of the lifiti and six in magnitudes which are a groat deal nearer to us tban many of tbe iiMt. TLe Jbright star Capelia, which is of the first mag mta a is farther from ns tban the pole star -which is of the third. This last named star ia so distant, that if it were now annihi lated, it would still serve as a guide to the mariner for a quarter of a century. Amon tbe innumerable stars which the telescope discloses to us, there may be those whose lifctt is hundreds, and perhaps tbocuaudd of years, in traveling down to our system.

Optimist had been our favorite all along for the Cup, and we are not convinced but he could have wen it, if he had been "wanted," and Edwards had called upon him. He ran third, and close up, the race being finished elowly after The Wizard shot up in the cords.

1 here is not much donbt that Ontimist con hi have overhauled The Wizard, and Starke too," 1 I 1 1.1 ii ne sua neen let loose and ridden to win when the old one was. But Mr. Ten Broeck bad declaied to win with Starke, having no doubt the most money to come in on him, and this he had a perfect reght te do, according to the rules and practices of the English turf. Since last year the new rules as to weight have gone into operation, and our horses have now seven pounds allowance instead of fourteen as heretofore. Twenty-six horses are entered this year, including two of Mr.

Ten Broeck's. Ootimist and Umpire. Several of these seem to be pnt out of the race already, or virtually so, by reason of the lamp of weight they have to carry and penalties for to carry ana penalties ior wrnmnir elsewhere. inns, ffVVcopy. weight amounts to 136 IB.

He most be a tre- mendons four-year-old, if be can win nnder it. win nn.tt I Three pounds more stopped Thormanbr last year, and he was aoout as good, as game and aa able to carry weight as is often seen. The Wizard, a year older, at lJii IB has a mnrh better chance, but with all that has been said in his iavor, the record tends to show- that he runs use a dunghill when in a tight place, towards the finish. As teroid, four years, the winner of the Epsom Cup in amazing good time, and of the ABCot cup at the Goodwood distance, is another sort of a horse. His penalty for the latter race makes bis weight just that of the Wizard, 133 lb, yet with all that to carry, we think he is a horse to be held in great regard.

Bnt it is a question whether he can give the American horses, 7 lb and a year, for this be is called upon to do, the weights of Optimist and Umpire being 126 lb. Now. we do not believe that the son of Stock well can give him by Lexington this age and weight, though we are fain to admit, that as a general rule, in spite of the theories we have held to about stoutness, our horses have not performed in England to suit us, when the distance has been above two and a half miles and racing weights up. The half-bred horse, The Lawyer, is called upon to run at even weights, with Optimist and Umpire, thus giving them a year. He beat Optimist handsomely at Oxford laet year, but then they ran at weight ior age, instead of even weights.

We may pass over the rest of those above three years old, and come to the latter, of whom there are thirteen, all iir at 105 lb, except the two fillies Fen de Joie and My Partner whose allowance for sex makes their weight 101 lb. Jackson's two, Tim Wbiffler and Neptonns (the former sold to Lord YVm. Powlett,) look as good as anything to us in the three-year-old list. Lord YVm- Powlett wants the cup, and Tim is hke enengh to win it for him. The Oaks winner is probably the next best entitled to favor among the young ones; she has no penalty for that race, which is much in her favor, and Bockstone, who might have had a chance to beat any of them, has lately thrown a curb.

Altogether, we look for a fine race, and Optimist may very likely win it. Umpire has not given indications that he could stay the distance heretofore, and, with 126 16 up, be must run better than he has done, to be in the front rank. Ohio Crop. The most moderate) calculations of the present Ohio crop makes Hat least 30 000,000 bushels, or 10,000,000 baaheda more than was raised last year. Of this quantity there will be a surplus beyond the State demand of soma 17,000,000 bushels.

There was not a eingle ease with, the slight-est spice of scandal in it, and the erowd that rasbed to the court-room with an expectation of bearing something like the scenes of the previous day enacted had to go away disappointed.

Two soldiers, Heenan not the poguistr and Galagher not Sim were sent for. a month to the Workhouse lor insulting people on the streets. aetaftJUan There was a grand row at the Polka gambling saloon, corner of Bienville street and Exchange Alley, in which Geo. Murphy got severely handled by Moliere. George had applied some pretty severe epithets to Moliere and to gamblers generally, and very clearly provoked all that he got.

Thaajadge observed that it teemed to be a free fight and dismissed the case without further ado. A negro boy named Silvester was sent to Fort Jackson for a year. On the 23d of May last he was found at the residence of Mr. Andrews on Camp street, concealed under a bed. Mr.

A. undertook to arrest him when the raecal thrust him aside with violence aad rushed phot him. Miss Andrews he also knocked down because she attempted to oppose his escape from the premises. It was a clear case ana the raecal well deserved the punishment awarJed. Some of the members of the bar seem dis pcted to trouble the court with civil eases, some under a pretence that the cases have criminal features, and some under the stronger plea of necessity.

The necessity is, however, frequently found to be quite as strong on the Bide of the debtor as the creditor, and in these trying times it would look better if all such cases were left alone. Mr. Levi was arraigned and tried for using seditious and treasonable language. Among other things it waa alleged that he had given currency to a report setting forth that five hundred of the United States troops at Baton Ronge laid down their arms and refused to fight. Mr.

L. denied the hard impeachment, bat was nevertheless sent to prison for a month. John Baptiste, a colored carriage driver, was eent to prison for six months. It appears that be was employed by two paroled officers to cross the river, and letters held to be of a contraband character were found in his car- riaee. Henry Evans, for aiding a man named Grant to ran the blockade, was sent to prison for six months.

Mr. Grant is stated to have been supplied with an assortment of medicines, which are supposed to have been intended for the healing of rebel diseases. A young married woman was brought into court at the request of her mother, who ac cused her of visiting houses of bad repute. The Judge told her that unless she abandoned such evil practices, he would be obliged to send her to prison for six months. For the time being, however, she was told to go home with her mother and attend more faithfully to her domestic duties.

A party accused of having in bis possession a stoxen muie, wee required to return the mule to the owner, and to have recourse on the party xyho sold him the mole for the f'JOO that he paid for the animal. The mule, it appears, was sold at tbe mule market, bat not by a licensed auctioneer. Two negro boys named William ITenry and George Washington, were tried and convicted of having stolen a lot of hams and wine from the etore of Vote West, No. 68 Magazine street The case was ferreted out by Detective Ofiicer Long, and the boys were sent to the Workhouse for six months, Killed.
