Already, as we are told by the New York Times, Gen. Burnside has ordered the impressment of six thousand laborers from the negro population of Kentucky, to be employed in the construction of military roads in that State. It is intimated that the Central railroad, which extends from Covington (opposite Cincinnati) to a point fourteen miles south of Lexington, is to be continued across the Kentucky river, and that the Lebanon branch of the Louisville and Nashville railroad is to be continued southwardly, in the general direction of Knoxville, which place it is intended to reach, no doubt, by the proposed military highway.

k. In Southwestern Virginia all is quiet. It was reported on Saturday that the Yankees were advancing in heavy force on Bristol, and had driven in our pickets at Blountsville, Tenn., nine miles from there. This report, as will be seen from a telegram from our correspondent in that quarter is incorrect. Our pickets are beyond Blountsville and Zollicoffer. Gen. Averill, who was "out on a raid" with several thousand men, was met by our forces about six miles from Lewisburg, on the Covington road, last Thursday, and after a slight skirmish was driven back. He retired towards Beverly, in Randolph Co., from whence he started. His force is estimated at about 3,000 men. We have news from an unexpected quarter of a brilliant little affair. On the 16th inst. a company of partisan rangers, under the command of Major Edgar Burroughs, attacked the steamer J. B. White, on the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal captured and burnt her, together with a dredging machine and two lighters

Crensoss, of Columbus, formerly sutler in the 18th regulars, who were to lead the attack on Camp Chase; James D. Patton, of Covington, a regular agent of the rebel Government, who furnished money to detectives under the impression that they were spies, and, according to agreement, were to meet Cathcart and the others at Camp Chase, and assist in maturing the plan of attack.

The movements of Averill — reported Fight at Covington, Alleghany county. The Federal forces under Gen. Averill, who attacked and defeated Gen. Echols in Greenbrier county last week, left Lewisburg in the early part of the present week, a portion of them taking the Warm Spring road by which they could either pass back over the mountain, in the same direction they came, or move on Millboro' Depot, in Bath, county, and the other division taking the road leading to Covington, in Alleghany county. Passengers who arrived here last night from Staunton report that a letter had been received there stating that the division which took the Covington road appCovington road appeared in front of that place, which was then occupied by Gen. Imboden, on Tuesday evening. Gen. I's batteries were opened upon them, and unexpectedly finding the place occupied, the enemy retired, after a short engagement. Whether they retired with a view of recrossing the mountains, or to form a junction with the other division o

our own forces in consequence. When Gen. Imboden learned of Averill's advance into the counties of Pocahontas and Greenbrier, he moved rapidly to the aid of Gen-Echols and Col. Wm. L. Jackson, who had formed a junction at a point known as Droop Mountain, some 25 miles Northwest of Lewisburg. On the route Gen. L. was reinforced by the Home Guards of Rockbridge and the cadets of the Virginia Military Institute. The enemy having defeated Jackson and Echols, turned in the direction of Covington, about two miles from which point they were met by Imboden's forces. Fire was immediately opened upon the enemy's advance, which caused him to retire. Imboden's force being too small to justify a pursuit, he fell back, blockading the road, to Buffalo Gap, in Augusta county. The enemy are reported to have since made their appearance at Hightown, in Highland county, fifty miles west of Staunton. A letter received from Staunton yesterday states that the Yankees took possession of Woo
