Boston, March 1 [1862]

Col. Lee and Dr. Revere, of the 20th Mass. regiment, arrived here last evening.  They were received at the depot by Gov. Andrew and staff, and a large crowd of citizens who greeted them with a hearty welcome and enthusiastic cheers.  The city government of Roxbury proposed giving Col. Lee a public reception some time since.
