Present for Gen. Robert E. Lee.

--A citizen of Albemarle county, Va., who emigrated to Illinois in 1857, has just returned. He concealed within the lining of his vest a beautiful pin-cushion, presented to Gen. Lee by a young lady of Wood county, Ill. One side of this "token" was white silk, on which was a Confederate flag, bearing the motto "Conquer or Dic." The other side was blue silk, with white dais, and the word "Love" in the centre.
