Virginia.

The semi-annual session of the Grand Di-
vision Of Virginia, met in Suffolk on the 9th
ult. We fully expected to have attended
that session, but pressing duties at home
prevented. We are glad to learn the meeting
was largely attended, and that it was a most
harmonious and profitable one. We learn
from the Christian Sun, that about one hun
dred members were in attendance, and e0ery
one Of the officers Of the Grand Dirision.
Cheering reports came up from every por-
ton of the State the report of the Grand
Scribe showed that a larger number of per-
sons have been initiated into the Order, in
the State during the last three months, than
was ever admitted during the same length of
time, before.
Public addresses were delivered on Thurs
day night, at the Methodist Church, by Rev.
Mr.. Willis, of Richmond, and Rev. Mr.. Long
Of Lynchburg; on Friday morning an address
was delivered at the Temperance Hall, by
Rev. Mr.. Peterson of Richmond. These gen.
tlemen all did honor to themselves and JUS
tice to the cause.
The Hall of the Sons was beautifully deco
rated with flowers and evergreens by the
Temperance Ladies of Suffolk, showing thu
interest which they feel in the good cause
the cause of Temperance.

AEoTHER DIVISION IN BUNcoMBE.-The G.
W. Patriarch writes us, that 1.-THE seventh Di-
vision in Buncombe County, was constituted
on The oath April, by d. g. w. Patriarchs
Price, Moore and Miller. II is located on HON.
my Creek, and is hailed by the euphonious
name Of "Hominy." Our next will be Sandv
Hush, or some other name indicating that
the people have something good to eat and
plenty Of cool water to drink. Hominy is a
near neighbor to Academia, one of our best
Divisions may be regarded as an off shoot
Of that. The brethren present at the organ
ization think that the material is good, and
that the Division will be permanently useful.
We hope to organize several other Divis-
ions soon
MULBERRY DIyIsIoN.-Bro. w. E. Coffey
writes:-Our Division is doing a wonderful
work in the glorious cause Of Temperance
It was organized the 18th day Of September,
1853, with s members, and we now have q
male members and 81 lady Visitors-and the
greater part Of them arc full of zeal in The
cause Of Temperance.
RowAS CouNTY.-Bro. p. g.. McCon-

say, that Rowan Division is in a more pros
porous condition than it has ever been since
It's organization, and that its future prospects
are very encouraging. We have at last pro
cured a commodious room, and are now ia
vored with the presence of many lady Visit
ors. The ministers of the various denomina
tons are exhibiting great interest in the Tenn
perance cause, and several, (who have hith
erto stood aloof) have recently joined tn
Division, and are cooperating with us. Gu

held on the 23rd April, Notwithstanding tn

Of style, was delivered by Rev. JOS. Wheels

The Trade of the Liquor Seller.

We cannot discriminate between the whole
sale and retail dealer in spirituous liquors.
If the moral complexion Of the two be deci-
ded by the amount Of injury done to society,
then the wholesale dealer must be more cul-
pable than the retailer. The peculiar cha
racteristics of the retail business, may be set
down as lower, more degrading, and there
fore less respectable, but as to the guilt IN
Cured, if it be measured by the amount OF
ruin brought on mankind, the wholesale deal
err is deeper in the iniquity.
But is either wicked and ruinous? Does
not the law Of the land allow it? Does not
society give its sanction to il by the endorse
ment it gives to the wholesale dealer And
may not the veriest grog-shep keeper in the
land, with equal ease attain to respectable po-
sition, if he only makes money enough by his
degraded vocation2 1t has come to pass in
our day, that money gives position to a man
and not character. The man who sells in
toxicating drinks by the wholesale, and thus
ruins his thousands, and the other who doles
it out by the glass, is Of equal responsibility
perhaps, in the estimation Of many, provided
they are Of equal wealth. The retailer is
only a little more nearly connected with the
evil. but to our mind, both incur a terrible
responsibility. The wickedness of the traffi
cannot be computed. OF the thousands VIII
annually 90 down to the drunkard's gray
and the drunkards he'll, the guilt INQUIRE
by their ruin may be divided between the Sc
Ter and the consumer, but its real turpltuo
can only be determined by the revelation
that day, when the Judge OF all the cart
will administer justice, strict and unbendinI
to every one. And what must be the doc
of the liquor dealer, who, with no other tha
the selfish motive Of making money, has bee
the instrument of beggaring thousands, q
stroying the character, health and morals
his victims, causing the misery and hea
breaking Of wives and mothers and the utt
ruin Of helpless children? What place
hell is too hot, too dismal, too damning
those who ruin body and soul ;-immor
beings born to a nobler, higher destiny b
who have been wrecked by the very hqut
which they have supplied,-which they ha
baited them to buy and drink, by every p
sible effort and encouragement
Surely men who engage in this vocati
either never reflect or are deaf and dead
the warning which comes up from brol
hearts, from the piteous cries OF beggar
ruined children, and the dark, dismal pit
ghich the drunkard writhss in agony.
