; FIELD AND FIRESIDE. PE1NCTS. Our Home Journal. Mr. Editor: What is the average yit-M of pea nits in good soil? what soil is besf suited to this crop ! What is its comi mmon market value ? rki;i.y. From fifty to seventy-five bushels per acre is about the rauge of product oij good soil. It the great pea nut regions of Virginia and North Caro lina, the former is considered a large crop, while in Louisiana and Missis sippi we have known one hundred bushels raised to the acre. The best soil is a rich sandy loam that has been pretty well worn, and its fertility kept up by annual manuring. Lime and especially plaster is a good appli cation to this crop, as they, tend to prevent " pops." The price ranges irom one and a half to two dollars n bushel, two dollars being about an average one year with another The pea' nut we consider one of the 'most profitable crops raised in the South, TEE GREAT MISSISSIPPI FLOOD. Appalling Statements or the De . vaslatiou. Towns Submersed Five milllouH f of A ere People InTolptred Thousand of Destitute Crops De vfroyed Aid for tbe Suf ferers, &c , &C, dee. - It would seem that the full extent f the great flood of-the Mississippi river in the Southwest is: only begin ning to be understood, at New Or- leans, ine aetaus mat now come would seem to indicate the almost utter ruin by-water nearly of what has been left for ruin by the carpet-bag government in Louisiana. The cotton and sugar growing dis tricts have suffered immeasurably aud in this regard will affect the whole coantry. Appeals for aid are en forced by facts in regard to the suf ferings of families and their domestic jimmals, which are resistless, and it is. gratifying to note that aid is prompt, and that food and rations and money are beginning to pour in for relief from many quarters. Below, we give all the details received Jby mail, as follows: ; ' EXTENT OF THE DISASTER. The New Orleans Times says that the extent or the damage by the over flow in Louisiana is only beginning to be understood, and that the flood will involve 5,000,000 acres of land and- a population of 178,000'. In the cotton regions it is now ascertained that nine of the largest and j richest parishes producing cotton have been inunda ted. The parishes of Carroll, More house, Sichland, Madison, Franklin, Tensas, Cald well, Concordia and Cat ahoula are all -overflowed,Bnd em- 1 a" 1 :- n ' rni urace iuuy . 2,ouu, uuu acres, ine amount of cotton land in-these par ishes in- actual cultivation -is ascer tained to be a quarter of. a million acres, besides one hundred thousand acres in corn. - These estimates in clude only large - places, leaving out hundreds, of smalt farmers, and all es? timates for cattle, hogs and. gardens rrt i - p t - - I " aucuiumg tu n,e census ot .10 4 u. ., i the sugar PARISHES. I In the sugar producing parishes as certained facts discover equal if not a greater amount of rniri and suffer- ing inese pansnes are romte tJou- rrti . l T y i pee, EastBaton Rouge, West Baton 1 iouge, lberviJJer.vscension, Assump tion, La Fourche. St JaraeSk St. John .the Baptist, St: Charles,; Terre Bonne, and J laquemmes. Ibe overnow in these parishes covers nearly two and a halt million acres, tilled ana untitled, including the " production of -thirty thousand bogsheads of sugar, besides a large product of rice and the crops of small farmers, of whom there are many hundreds who have lost ' their stock and pretty much everything else they possess. 1 lie population , of these parishes, according to the census of 1870, was 50.368 whites . and 72,241 blacks, making a total of 122,609, from which must be deducted the ' population of .bast Baton Kouge. as. only a small portion of that parish has suffered from the overflow. That deductioii oeintr made. the parishes named con tained a lobulation of- 103,609. In all the parishes' named it is believed that more than 25,000 people are in actual suffering for the necessary sup plies of life, and that in less than sixty days the number or those whose circumsiances win require aneviaiiou will increase to more than 50,000 per sons. SWBEP" OP THE FLOOD. The immense body of water which comes down the valley of t,he Missis sippi and Oaayhita an4 Black rivers passes across itea river , some .xoriy Hues from its moatn, , and ; meetings with no obstruction antil it meets the levee of B'avbu des Glaizes' it sweeps with irresistible force every feeble barrier occupying a breadtn ot coun- trv from twentv-five .to -thirty miles wide throao'h-the eastern portion of Averielles and St. ' LarrdrV parishes and covering aU the lands in that fe- gion, which includes within its limits tne larger: portion ot tne - mqei pro ductive lands in tbeseliwQparishes. Beginning at Moreamonnt it 'washes around what is called iKp b?nr Vipnrl nf the Bayon des Glaizes down to Sims Prt, distance of I more ' than ' forty miles by meanders of the bayon, which ls"thickly fettled, thence down the lower lands on the western mAa of Atchafalaya river, behind the plan tations on tnat.nver, inundating them from behind. Within the limits of the land thus submerged there are not less than 10,000 souls, including white and black, most of the laboring class, but no doubt some of the pro prietors are in a suffering condition on account of the almost total failure of the crops of both corn and cotton, on account of the wet weather last year. THE OUACUITA VALLEY. Dispatches from the" Oiichita Val ley, La.y give graphic pictures of the distress. .Ihe town of Monroe is on an island two and a half miles loner by a half mile wide froni which there is no exit, except by boats or swim ming. Jb rom the crossing of the rail road and Desard street back is one wide sea. All the vacant house have been taken, and several families are living in the court house. Business is almost completely suspended, but the houses are open, t u Iv one thousand people have not rations for three days, nor money to buy with. stock of every description gathered in the town are starving. On Desard Island almost all the plantations are under w&ter. On the river bank front the fences are nearly all washed down and a steamboat could be run down Cotton street. An eve witness from Camden, lrenton, and Monroe, and the over flowed district of North Louisiana, a statement or the numbers needing help as follows Lower Black river, 300: Harder, excluding that part of Concordia par- isn on uiacK riveroou; Wilson s, on Black river, 400: lnnity, excluding lensas bayou, Little river, 1,200; Harnsburg, including Bayou Louis, 1,000; Starb's landing, iueludinir Braine landing, 300; Carter's landing, 400; Bunker Hill, between Ouachita and Bayou Boeuf, 1,500; Columbia, including Franklin and Opachita or Boeuf, and between' Ouachita and Boeuf river, 2,000; St. Albans, in eluding the bottom on both sides, 1,500; Hopewell and Waco, including the back swamp up to the Ouachita line, 1,000; Monroe, 1,500; total 11,- 600. At the lowest estimate this number may be said to be in actual want, and many have been so for davs, as they have now been under water for some two or three weeks. They have lost all their hogs, and nearly all their cat tle are lost 1 or starvmjr. "It is esir mated that fully 27,000 persons' are snffennp in the district. BELIEF FOR SUFFERERS. Large quantities of provisions have been shipped from New Orleans to the sufferers, and the relief commit tee have got fairly to work, but the demands have increased hourly. -Five thousand people of Vanderbilt, Con cordia parish, call for food. At Trenton the colored people are in particular distress. Mayor Wiltz reports $30,000 in bank to the credit of the relief fund. Dispatches from various points report the following subscriptions on Satur day: Chicago $3,000, New York lib eral contributions, Boston $10,000. Cincinnati and other cities are organ izing for relief. i wallowing a Frlc.

L., one of the clerks of the iiutv ui y ti obiivr jk fork,, and - survived the accident, thnmrh hnw he flsnarWI ohntino- to - o - - r - 1 ; death is more than 1 is more tnan 1 can imagine. He was taken at once to the Hospital de la Pitie, where he is now surround ed by the care and attention' of ' the entire faculty, he being at present one of the most interesting of all possible subjects. Careful soundings have fail ed to reveal the Vhereabouts of the unwelcome intruder, but it is supposed to be somewhere in the neighborhood of the'liver. A new instrument is in process of construction wherewith an operation is to be attempted, and meanwhile the patient is kept perfect ly quiet and on low diet, and is frer quently dosed with antidotes against the poisonous principle of tne corrod ing metal. Twenty of the most cele brated of 1 arisian doctors are to as sist at the operation. Notwithstand- ing all this, the poor fellow keeps 'up spirits, smokes, laughs, talks, and makes innumerable jokes . about his singular situation. It" is to be hoped that the new instrument and twenty doctors combined will enable him to fork over' without losing his life in the process." Exeltemeni In the Eusllwu 4'arlla- ' "" ment. A scene that : was worthy of tlie American Congress occurred Friday in the British -House of Commons. Certain members who felt aggrieved by the sudden dissolution of the last Parliament introduced a resolution censuring the Gladstone J Administra tion for its conduct in the matter. The -mover of. the resolution, Mr. Sraollet, made a speech in the best vein of a Texan Congressman. He went so far as- to apply,Mheword "trickster" to , Mr. :. Gladstone. The answer of tbe exiPreinier was credit able4o himself, and saved, the rppu tation of the House. He challenged a repetition oi ine insuiung epiinei, atd this beiriff ' refused charged Mr. I Smollet with. lack of deoenoy and manliness. ;"-We are not surprised to 0fea4Qiat tijKBnctfrintMicaused great Whatever may- have excitement. been the' faults of ' Mr; ' Gladstone's Administration, he cannot justly be. cnargea tou a oreacn oi iauu, nor is his the type of manhood which de serves ,to be treated with disrespect . even by political opponents. It is hardly necessary to add that the res olution of censure was rejected with out a division. - Numerous InTeatisatloiis. There is an unusually large number of investigations now in progress be fore committees of the House of Rep resentatives, the most prominent and important of which are the following: Investigation of the moiety business by Ways and Means; of the bureau of engraving and printing by the Banking and Currency committee; of mail contracts by the Post Office committee; of Indian contracts by the commjtiee on Indian Affairs; of the conduct of certain judges by the Ju diciary committee; and of expendi tures in the department of justice by the corfimitiee on that subject. There is not so great a disposition as hereto fore to conduct the investigations in secret. The Post Office committee have indicated a purpose to -.throw open their doors during the investi gation of the mail contracts. Bibop Cuiulnliia.' The Bight Rev. D.
