BLAIR ON GrN. LEE Washinqton, Sept.
29.-In his letter, just published, Mont
gomery Blair has the following about Gen.
Lee /:
II was the fall of Sumter that produced
on the instant tho ordinance Of secession,
aud filled Virginia with troops from the
Gulf States, to carry it before the people.
Its effect upon ordinary nen may be CON
ceived by the influence it exertsd over
Gen. Leo. My father was authorized by
tho President and Mr.. Cameron, Secretary
of War, to con verse with Gen. Lee, and
ascertain whether he would take command
| of our army in tho field. The latter was
written for, and he met my father at my
house, where they conversed for an hour
or more. 1t was y few days before the or
| dinsnce of secession was passed. Gen
Leo concluded the conversation by saying,
secession was anarchy and added that II
| he owned the four millions Of slaves in
the South, he would cheerfully sacrifice
| them to save the Union, but he did not
| know how he could draw his sword on his
! State He sdid he would see Gen. Scott
on tho subject before he decided. A COM
mittse from the Virginia Convention,
while the General and my father con yersed,
were hunting for him through the city.
! They met him on his leaving the house.
He repaired with them to consult with
the Convention, rs | have since learned,
| about some mode Of settlement. The fall
of Sumter settled the question for him and
