Special to Chicago Tribune
CAIRO, March 30.
Your correspondent at Nashville reports all quiet in that direction. Railroad communication with Louisville is fully restored, and passengers and mails now arrived regularly by this route.
The Chattanooga Railroad which was nearly destroyed by the rebels in their flight, has been placed in full repair as far as Murfreesboro, by the Michigan Mechanic Fusileers, and is now being stocked from the North. It will be used for transportation purposes, as the army moves south. It is strongly urged on Gov. Johnson to levy a tax upon secession residents of Nashville and vicinity to replace the costly bridges destroyed by Floyd.
