Louisville & Nashville Railroad Blockade
   The Louisville Courier, of the 25th, says:
   The Nashville Railroad and Adams Express Company yesterday refused to take freights or packages for Tennessee or points further south without a permit from the Surveyor of Customs. The Nashville Railroad depot, however, is so crowded with freight that no more could be received in any event before Thursday or Friday night. In the meantime the matter will be brought before the courts, and we presume an early decision will be given as to the legality of the question.
