Matters in Nashville.

--The Nashville paper of the 7th announce the sale of fifty bales of cotton at 60 to 63 cents per pound. The Press says that, owing to an increased demand and but little offering for sale, the quotations for Tennessee, money have materially advanced in the last few days. Especially has this been the case with the notes of the State Bank. Brokers are paying, freely, sixty cents for the State Bank, and sixty-eight, and, in some instances, seventy cents for the notes the of Union and Planters' Banks.--In the penitentiary at Nashville 132 political prisoners are confined. On the 7th thirty-four were arrested and fifteen discharged. Twenty deserters were arrested, one hundred and eighty-eight prisoners sent North, and eighty-five now remain on hand. The Press also says that Captain Wm. Strong was badly wounded on the John A. Fisher, on her last trip, by a party of guerillas firing into his boat.
