rmy in the Valley of Mexico, during the war with that country, having resigned his office in the late United States Army, has returned to the bosom of his native State to offer to her, in this, her time of need, the homage of his unquestioned talent and genius. He arrived yesterday evening via the Central road from Gordonsville, and all along the route was cheered on his return. At the cars in this city his greeting was warm and enthusiastic. He was met by Judge John Robertson, Adjutant General Richardson, and other friends, and escorted to the Spotswood Hotel. Here there was an immense crowd of citizens congregated anxious to pay their respects, and after a brief retirement, he had to respond to their urgent entreaties by an appearance and a few remarks, in which he pledged himself to the performance of his duty and his whole duty to the land of his birth. Col. Lee's presence acted with magic influence on the citizens, who feel that in him they have secured indeed a prize of no

Sharp Shooters. --We understand that the Richmond Sharp Shooters, a body of stouthearted and determined Southerners, have been organized, (to the extent of 90 men,) under the leadership of Capt. Ro. A. Tompkins, two-thirds of them being uniformed already.--The corps had a drill and inspection Monday night at the armory. Bosher's Hall, corner 9th and Main streets, when they were reviewed by Col. John H. Richardson, of the 179th Regiment, who expressed a very favorable opinion as to their condition and qualifications for the service. The company roll embraces the names of quite a number of old volunteers, who "know the ropes," and from them we learn that when offered for service, as they will be in a few days, they will be ready to stand any test, not only as to size of men, but as to the knowledge of a soldier's duty in every situation, from a street parade to actual combat.

f the President, Col. Northorp, C. S. A., were among the President's suite. On the arrival of the cars at the depot in this city, the air resounded with the most deafening cheers, oft repeated, for Davis and the Southern Confederacy, from several thousand willing mouths, honest hearts, and warm hands. After the enthusiastic greeting of the President was over — indeed, while it was progressing, a salute of 15 guns, one for each Southern State, was fired by a detachment of men under Col. John H. Richardson. President Davis was then escorted to a carriage in waiting by Thos. W. Hoeninger, Esq., of the Spotswood Hotel, and was drawn towards that elegant "traveler's rest," by four splendid bays, His Excellency Gov. Letcher, Mayor Mayo, and Mr. Hoeninger, being seated with the President. His progress through the streets was marked with many affecting demonstrations of popular regard. People rushed up and would shake hands with the President, many of them doing so with tears of heartfelt
