Nashville political prisoners released.

--All the citizens confined in the Nashville penitentiary, for political offences, have been released by the Federal military authorities, to the great disgust of Andy Johnson, who is said to be on a ‘"bust"’ in consequence. This was due to the action of Gen. Bragg, who confined the Yankee prisoners taken at Hartsville and elsewhere in jail, until his demand upon Rosecrans for the release of the imprisoned citizens of Nashville was complied with.
