State of affairs in Nashville.

Advices from Nashville up to Wednesday of last week represent the state of affairs, there as distressing indeed. Confederate guerrillas have succeeded in cutting off all communication by river and railroad with the cities of the North, and there are no supplies of food in the city. Very few of its citizens or soldiers, except in large numbers, dare to venture more than five miles from the city for the purchase of country produce or anything else. The distress consequent upon this state of affairs is said to be very great. The soldiers are as destitute of supplies as the citizens, and go about in squads through the streets and houses, seizing everything eatable they can find. Notwithstanding their sufferings the citizens are strong in the hope that Nashville will soon be numbered with the cities of the Confederacy.
