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 IffCLUDIKO BARMQS ANGLAIS, ORQANDIES, pRINtotD JA CONBTS, la wvs, o o ne a DE CHINES, CM ALLIES, ’" SILKS, PRINTS, GINGHAMS, KMBR01DEBIB8, LACES, Ac., Ac.

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.
