Especial Correspondence of the Dispatch.

STANTON, Oct. &c, 1854.
The Grand Division of the Sons of Tempe.
rance is now in session in this place, and has
brought together citizens from the Tidewa-
ter, Piedmont and Trans Allegheny portions
of our Commonwealth There are about 100
members in attendance, and some of them
have been Jealous advocates of total absti-
nence for many years. Some few years since
there were perhaps greater number of youn-
ger men in the Grand Division than at pre-
sent, full of ardor and burning zeal but to
my mind it seems that in changing to men
of more mature Judgment, the temperance
cause has lost nothing, and will better stand
the assaults made upon it by its enemies. A
good deal of business has already been trans
acted for the benefit of the order. In future
there are to be but two sessions instead of
four in the year, viz: in April and October.
Officers for the ensuing year are as follows:
n A. Sturdivant, of Richmond CITY, G. w.
Patriarch DIR. R. III. Gambell, of Staunton.
