VIRGINIA STATS CONVENTION.
Reception of Major-General Robert E. Lee—
Eloquent Speech of John Janey, Esq., Presi
dent of the Convention—Gen. Lee's Reply.
In conformity with o resolution offered by Mr.
Mcl'nrlaod, in tho Convention, on Monday night,
tho 22d in at.. Col. Robert E. Lee, late of the
United States Army, waa formally received by
the Convention oa Tuesday, and the unanimous
confirmation of hie appointment to the office of
Majer-Geoerrai of the military ami naval forces
of Viiyinta, mode known to him by John Janey,
Esq., President of the Convention, in bubal f of
that assembly. We give the particular* of this
reception.
The Hon. A. U. Stephens, Vice-President of
the Confederate States, entered the Hailaccom*
panied by the Governor, and was introduced to
the President by Mr. Johnston, of Lee county,
n member ol the Committee appointed to invite
and conduct that gentleman to the Hall.
Mr. Johnston next introduced Judge Allen, a
member of tha Advisory Council to the Goter-
Mr. Critcher next introduced Col. Smith, of
the Virginia Military Institute.
Mr. Morton introduced Capt. F. M. Maury,
late of the United States Navy, who, with Col.
Smith, constituted tha other members of the Ad*
visory Council.
E «rory delegate was on his feet during this
ceremony.
The Governor and Mr. Stephens were as
signed seats on the right of the President, and
the three members of the Advisory Council on
tha left.
At Ibis time. MajorfGenera! Lee entered, lean
ing on the arm of Mr. Johnson, of Richmond.
Chairman of the Committee appointed to con
duct the distinguished military Chieftothe Hall.
As they reached the centre of the main aisle,
Mr. Johnson said: Mr. President: I have the
honor to present to you, and to the Convention,
Major-General Lee.
The President.-Major-General Lee: In the
name of the people of our native State, here
represented, 1 bid you a cordial and heart-felt
welcome to this Hall, in which we may yet al
most hear the echo of the voices of the states
men, the soldiers and sages of by-gone days,
who have borne your name, and whose blood
now flows in your veins.
We met in the month of February last,
charged with the solemn duty of protecting the
rights, tha honor and the interests of the people
of this Commonwealth. We differed for a time
as to the best means of accomplishing that ob
ject ; but there never was, at any moment, a
shade of difference among us as to the great ob
ject itself; and now Virginia, having taken her
position, as far as the power of this Convention
extends, we slapd animated by one desire and
one determination, and thet is. tbat she shall be
defended; and tbat no spot of her soil shall be
polluted by the foot of an invader.
When the necessity became apparent of hav
ing a leader for our forces, all hearts and all
eyes, by the impulses of an instinct, which is a
surer guide than reason itself, turned to the old
county of Westmoreland. We know how pro*
lific she bad been in other days of heroes and
statesmen. We know she had given birth to
the Father of his Coont»y-to Richard Henry
Lee, to Monroe, and last, though not least, to
your own gallant father, and we knew well, by
your own deeds, that her productive power was
not yet exhausted.
Sir. wa watched with the most profound and
intense interest the triumphal march of the
army led by General Scott, to which you were
attached, from Vera Crux to the Capital of
Mexico; we read of the sauguinary conflicts
and the bloodstained fields, in ail of wnich vic
tory perched upon our own banners; we know
of the unfading lustra that was shed upon the
American arms by that campaign, and we know

e glory of those achieve-
»to your valor and your military
that
ments was di
genius.
Sir, one of the proudest recollections of my
life will be the honor I yesterday had of sub
mitting to this body confirmation of the nomina
tion made by the Governor of this State, of you
as Commander-in-chief of the military and na
val forces of this Commonwealth I rose to
put the question, and when 1 asked if this body
would advise and consent to that appointment,
there rushed from the hearts to the tongues ol
all the members, an affirmative response that
told, with an emphasis that could leave no
doubt of the feeling whence it emanated. I put
the negative of the question, for form's sake,
but there was an unbroken silence.
Sir, we have by this unanimous vote, express*
ed our convictions tbat you are, at this day,
among the living citizens of Virginia, “ first in
war.’’ We pray to God most fervently, that you
may no conduct the operations committed to
yout chary a, ihqt it will soon be said of you,
that you RM •* first in peace,” and when that
time comes, yon will have earned the still
prouder distiaetion of being “ first in the hearts
of your countrymen."
f will close with one more remark.
When the Father of his eouutry made his
last will and testament, be gave his swords to
his favorite ftepbews, with a» iajunction that
tho? should never be drawn from their scab*
bards except in self-defence, or in defence of the
rights and liberties of their country, and that, if
drawn for the Latter purpose, they should fall
with them fa their hands, rather than relinquish
them.
Yesterday, your mother, Virginia, placed her
sword in your hand, upon the implied condition
that we know you will keep, to the letter and in
