Operations in the Kanawha valley. We have, this morning, a brief account of the engagement in which a part of Gen. Floyd's force routed the Yankees under Tyler. This account is not very explicit. But it shows that our forces were victorious after a rencontre, which, from the small loss involved, must have been short. The Yankees certainly got off promptly and rapidly, or our men would have wrought more extensive results.

We are indebted to a correspondent in Fayette county, Va. for the subjoined account of the defeat of Col. Tyler's Federal Regiment by a portion of General Floyd's brigade! An engagement took place to-day (August) 26th, between some eight hundred of the enemy under Col. Tyler, and General Floyd's forces, at a place called the "Cross Lanes," neaCol. Tyler, and General Floyd's forces, at a place called the "Cross Lanes," near the junction of Meadow and Gauley rivers, some twenty miles above the month of Gauley river. Gen. Floyd had the misfortune a few days ago to lose a boat and four of his men, viz: Dantel Mallory of Grayson, and Hugh Scott, John Jones and George Bare, of Symths, who were drowned by the boat going down into the rapids below the ferry.

The New York Times, on the strength of intelligence received by way of Cincinnati, accepts aighly probable the report already given of the surprise and defeat of the Federal forces under Col.

On the 12th, his column was at Paris; on the 15th, at Union, in Monroe county, and on the 17th, at Lewisburg, in Greenbrier county. From that point he crossed over the Flat Top Mountains, by the same route taken a few days afterwards by Gen. Lee's army, and proceeding to a spot near the Gauley Bridge, awaited the arrival of Gen. Lee. Joining their forces on the 24th instant, it would seem from accounts that the two Generals proceeded along the Gauley river, crossed that stream, attacked Col.
