From Murfreesboro'
   The Murfreesboro' Rebel Banner of the 22d, has the following paragraphs:
   One by one the main avenues of railway and telegraphic communication which we enjoyed before the advent of Abolition rule are being reopened. The railroad line connecting this place and Huntsville, Ala. {Nashville & Chattanooga RR}, has been reopened, and trains are running daily.
   The train that left this place on Thursday night encountered obstructions near Normandy Station, and was thrown from the track. The locomotive was plunged into the woods, and over one hundred and fifty yards of rail tore up.
   The disaster is only serious from the trouble it affords our military and railroad authorities in the matter of transportation. We understand the railroad hence to Chattanooga will be in full working order today.
