Affairs on Az Kanawha.

Intelligence from Virginia by way of the
South, as well as from our own army,
shows that Gen. Lee has made junction
with Floyd, and both are advancing on
the forces of Generals Rosecrans and Cox.
a special despatch from Lynchburg, dated
September &c, to the Knoxville Daily Rey-
ister, has the following on this subject:
Intelligence of "a highly important move
ment in Western Virginia has been receiv-
ed. The reports already given, stating
that Gen. Lee is about to make junction
with Gen. Floyd, are fully confirmed
Reinforcements to the extent of sixty
four companies have been sent forward to
join Gen. Floyd's Brigade, and consider
able portion of his command has been or
dered to Lewtsburg. -
Information has been received here that
the forces of Generals Rosecrans and Cox
are retreating before the rebel troops,
whose number is estimated at 10000. Our
army has fallen back beyond Gauley. Col.
Piatts brigade ut Camp Enyart will re-en-
force it, and two additional Ohio regiments
are on the way. From our own adVices
we expect that ut convenient spot Gen.
Rosecrans will give battle to the enemy.
A dispatch from Jamestown, Nd, states
that the rebel forces have disappeared from
that vicinity, and conjectures that they
have joined Floyd. In that case it seems
most probable that the forces of Lee would
remain at Greenbriar river to keep Rey-
nolds employed, so as to prevent his CO.
operating with Rosecrans. The reliable
inaction Of our great army at Washington
enables the rebel Generals to send of
heavy detachments of their troops on dis
tant expeditions, relying on their being
able to return by the time they are wanted
to resist our advance.

p9rzASE srREET, Of THE .IsLASp.-For
many years, Zane street, tue great thor
gugbfars across the Island, has been in IA
miserable condition sometimes almost i'm
passablc. On Tuesday evening, in COun-
ell, MIR. Blair, the member from the Island,
called attention to the matter and asked
that some Improvement be made. Mr..
Jacob then explained that there was an
old contract between the Zane family and
the Bridge Company by the terms of which
the Bridge Company is bound to "keep in
repair good road, either gravelcd or
maeadamized, between the two bridges"
and that therefore the city ought to have
nothing to do with it. The city, of course,
has jurisdiction and authority over all the
streets of the Island, but in view of this
contract, it is thought that the Council,
instead of making the repairs, should take
measures to see that the Bridge Company
ful6lls its contract.
