LOUISVILLE, March 3.
Railroad communication between here and Nashville, except over a creek ten miles north of Nashville, damaged by the rising water on Saturday, will be resumed to-morrow night.
The election at Nashville yesterday for municipal officers passed off quietly. The retiring Mayor issued a proclamation assuring the people of protection by the Federal troops if they quietly pursued their accustomed avocations.
Twenty-five rebel prisoners have been brought to Nashville, and twenty-five negroes, seized by the rebels in the vicinity of Bowling Green have been recovered at Nashville and sent back.
Mail communication is established to Bowling Green, and for military purposes to Nashville. Col. J. J. Miller, government mail agent for Kentucky, is making energetic exertions to extend mail facilities to every part of Kentucky.
