REPORTED VIEWS OF SECRETARY STAN
TON ON THE SITUATGoN.-The Washington
correspondent of the Boston Post sends the
following to that journal:
"Hon. John Covode called upon Secre-
tary Stanton yesterday, and there ensued
a long and friendly discourse on the status
Of the country. Mr.. Stanton appeared
very DESTROYS of discussing the current
events of national import, and expressed
himself freely. He confessed that from
the very outset the diSputations Of the
executive and legislative branches of the
Government had caused him the liveliest
alarm, which, since the movement toward
impeachment, had increased TO an appre-
hension Of revolution and anarchy. The
burden of his remarks was in regard to
certain acts of the President and Congress,
and he pointed gloomily to the deleteriouS
effect OF each upon the nation. In part
lug with Covode, Mr.. Stanton remarked !:
| aided To place two million of men in the
field TO put down the rebellion ; three hum
dred thousand have bitten the dust, and an
equal number are cripples throughout the
land and yet, with all this tremendous
effort and corresponding sacrifice, the
country, in my Judgment, is Swallowed with
the gloom Of darker hour than was Incl
dent to any crisis of the late war; This
latter expression of Mr.. StantOn's solicit
tude is given me with scrupulous exacti-
tude by a gentleman infinitely acquainted
with every circumstance in the premises,
and who further AYERS that the Secretary
seemed completely unnamed as he ut
tered the last remark, and abruptly turned
from his visitors to conceal his emotion"

Meeting OF the Grand Division OF the
sons OF temperance of the State Of
virginia.

This body, say the Petersburg papers,
held its REGULAR quarterly session last
Wednesday and Thursday in the city OF
Portsmouth.
A large delegation from Richmond and
other points was i'll attendance.
The reports of the grand officers ey-
hibited an encouraging degree of success
in tins Order, with fine prospects OF future
progress.
Rev. Philip B. Price was reelected O..
" L. in the place of W. W. Green, who
failed 10 he installed.
The delegates who passed through here
yesterday seemed TO have enjoyed plea
sant Soiourn, and are loud in their praise of
the /" Howard Division and the good peo-
pie of Portsmouth.
There was quite a large gathering of
both sexes at a public meeting Thursday
night. Rev. Philip B. Price, B. II. Berry,
Esq, and others, made able addresses in
behalf OF the cause, which were received
with great demonstrations by the audience.
After the speaking, the Grand Division
adjourned, having enjoyed brief but har-
monious session.
The address Of Grand Worthy Patriarch
?. X. Price, Of Richmond, is published in
the Petersburg papers. 1t complains of
The course pursued towards the Sons of
Temperance by the new Order of Friends
OF Temperance, and closes as follows:
Il have received most gratifying testi-
monv 10 the usefulness Of our Order in
tue State-tcStimory the more valuable
because il comes from those who are out
side OF il. The zeal of our members, and
their unity Of purpose, with the energy
displayed 10y some OF the Divisions, are all
hopeful signs.
THE immense increase Of the manutac-
ture and commerce Of intoxicating drinks
in Virginia calls Us to renewed eXertion.
" The little favor that is given to the
doctrine OF total abstinence by many men
Of Influence, as teachers and examples,
demands some effort like that to which the
Church of England Temperance Magazine
is devoted VIZ, the open recognition and
practice of T,eCtOtdliSm 10y leading men III
Church and State. Il is obvious that
while wine drinking has such patronage,
our young men are feartully exposed and
the traffic is strongly entrenched behind
powerful names; and the more pernicious
is this example, and the more powerful is
this favor, as the men who bear these
names are wise and good.
81 commend TO your notice the printed
Minutes Of the Grand Division at its ses-
sion last year. This pamphlet, which
should be carefully circulated, is credita-
bic to our Grand Scribe and Brother K.
II. Mullen, who assisted him in the work
ol preparation for the press. 1t will also
remind you of the kindness received from
some of the Sons OF Temperance of New
York, who, through our friend and brother
}. \. Stearrs, the Most Worthy Patriarch,
contributed fifty dollars towards its publ
cation.
a. recommend to our members generally
10 make arrangements, so far as they can
to attend as visitors the session of the Ma,
tional Division next June at Wilmington
Del. The trip will be pleasant, cheap, and
serviceablc to the cause.
Respectfully submitted,
