Lee, tbe leader of the South ern armies, during onr late war. Tne letter was read by Governor Brown dur ing liis address "to the Legislature the evening previous to his election to tbe United States Senate, and the original is mow in his possession. It shows that those who favored a reconstsnction of the government, and a kind submission to tbe inevitable weie in sympathy with our great leader.

Lkxixctox, Va., April 3,1867. Mr Dear Major: 1 have read with attention the subject demanded the cle inclosed in your letter of the 23rd ultimo. I think there can be uo doubt in the minds of those who reflect, that conventions mast be held in tbe South ern State under the Sherman bill, that the people are placed in a position where no choice in the matter is left them, and that it is the duty of all who may be entitled to vote, to attend the polls and endeavor to elect the best represent them, and to available act for the interest of their States. The division of the people into parties is greatly to be reprehended and ought to be avoided by the willingness part of every one to yield minor points in order to secure these which are essen tial to tbe general welfare. Wisdom also dictates that the decision of the conventions should be cheerfully snb- celled: Mays, of Richmon, .
