Affairs in lower Eastern Virginia.

--The Petersburg Intelligencer, of Saturday, has the following intelligence from below. The reported 30,000 Yankees at Newport News is not at all likely:

‘ Passengers represent that a negro regiment is now garrisoning Craney Island, and that there are no Yankee soldiers in the vicinity of Suffolk, except one detachment at Wright's Mill and another at Bernard's Mill. A patrol of Yankees visit Suffolk every day. We regret to learn that Mr. John W. Ames, late one of the proprietors of the Bollingbrook Hotel, in attempting to visit his family within the Yankee lines, a day or two since, was nabbed by the miscreants and sent to Fort Norfolk. We were informed by a gentleman on yesterday that one of the Confederate detectives managed to get, a few days since, within two miles of Old Point, and on his return reported that he saw a transport land troops at Newport News, and heard a Yankee say that thirty thousand troops were at that point.
