TAKING IT CooELY.-The Houston Telegraph
which bitterly opposed Gen. Houston, takes the
result of the election in very philosophical spirit
Hear it.:
We were going along smoothly as we thought
had made our State officers for a couple of years
ahead, as we fondy anticipated and supposed the
country was all right, whenGall at once we "heard
something drop" and the next thing we felt Gas
though we had been sent for and couldn't go" 1t
is of to try to account for the business There
is just this one thing about it: the opposition out
numbered us, and we had to knock under. We are
now pleasantly located the banks of Salt River,
that famous place for retrieving broken political
fortunes. The fact is, old Sam is elected, and he
can't be euchred out of his Governorship in any
way but by sending him to the United States Sem
ate.

The CINCiNNATI GRAPE CRoP.-In the month of
June, the vines in the vicinity of Cincinnati gave
evidence of producing the largest grape crop ever
gathered there but, towards the latter part of the
month, a rot or mildew made its appearance and
good deal of alarm was manifested About one
tenth of the grapes it is estimated was DESTROYED,
but with the dry warm weather of July the rot dis
appeared and it is stated by experienced men that
derfuy well, is as large as ever known. A gentle
man thoroughly conversant with the cultivation of
the grape estimates the money value of the crop of
Hamilton county this year at million of dollars

The VEEvIL.-Numerous remedies have been
proposed to protect wheat and com from the des-
trucsive raTages Of the weevil, but most of them
have been imprscticable or too expensive. Tar has
been found a certain and economical agent for ex-
pelling these Insects A writer in q French publi-
cation asserts that his father had long time ago,
bis granaries and barns infested with these insects
80 much that they penetrated into all the closets
and among the liner. He placed an open eask i'm
pregnated with tar, in the barn, and then in the
grsnares at the end Of some hours the wesvils
seen climbing along the walls by myrisds, and fly
ing in all directions from the eask. On moving the
tsrred vessels from place to place. the premises we're
in few days completely cleared Of these trouble
some and pernioious guests. The farmer who is
troubled with these insects may, as soon as he per-
ceiVes heirpresence mpregnatc the surfses Of 50
old plsn&s with tar, and place them Is required in
his gransries; must be taken TO renew the tar
from tine to time In the course Of the year to pre-
vent their relufn.

TerribIe Tornado in virginia,

NORFOLK, June 2I, I859.-Aeoounts Of a terrible
tornado which passed over Gloucester county on Fri
day last, reached here yesterday afternoon, It's
track was from east to west; it was funuel shaped,
and is represented as having been about one hun
dred feet wide. When first seen it was coming from
the direction of the Bay it then entered the mouth
Of York river and passed over Gloucester Point,
which is Immediately opposite the famous little
town of York AS it whrled past the Point it up
set the ferry boat, and an old negro man, who for
thirty years had managed the ferry, vas drowned;
his assistant escaped by cliDging to the boat.
II then took it's course through the county, meet
ing first the residence of Capt Wm. HOLIDAY, Sears
Greek, it speedily demolished the chimneys and all
prominent projections, blew his large barn from its
found; Oh; smaller barn was blown over all the
other out-houses, and even the fruit trees up
set and destroyed, while very large tree the
barn was torn up by the roots.
A large barn and sized on the farm Of Mr.. Benz.
Rowe, were torn literally to pieces; corn shel.er
which wss is house, was afterwards found half
a mile off, where it had been carried by the ''storm
king"
a gentleman named Diggs saw it coming, andhRd
presence of mind to take his wife ami little out
Of the house, which in q few moments afterwards
was swept entirely away. Mr.. Diggs subsequently
found q trunk, belonging to him, five miles from
where the house had stood. This trunk among 9TH
er things contained Sl30.
A school-house was Ilown over, and the teacher
Miss Glass; snd fourteen children turned with
it. Miss Glass received some injuries about the
head while one of the child. had its collar bone
broken.
In addition to the above we learn that nine other
buildings mostly dwellings-were destroyed, blown
away or materially damaged among which WAS the
dwelling of Mr.. Robbins. which has sustained coz
siderable damage The tornado, which is represent
ed as having been fghtfuly d,strue i've, cut per-
feet road through the woods, about thirty forty
yards wide, aud its course wrung trees from their
sumps which will from two to three feet in
diameter, and which were swept before it like chat
before the wind.
Il is reported that at one time human form was
soea in the midst Of this terrible whirlWind, who,
without power to help himself, was borne upon the
wings of the wind, from the river side far into toe
itsrior-Ehile oil around him were trees, limbs 4
trees loose planks, posts, CATS barn DOORS snd por
lions of fences.
There is no doubt but the destruction of life has
been considerable, but the gentleman who brings
this information was on the river, and knows not
what occurred il the Interior.
