| From the Richmond Dispatch |

| The Louisville blockade |
| The Nashville Union takes what
seems to us a correct view of a dispatch received from Louisville a
few days ago. We quote a portion of the editorial: |
| A dispatch from Louisville
informs us that permits will not hereafter be required for the transportation
of articles, not contraband of war, over the Nashville &
Louisville {Louisville & Nashville}
Railroad--such as produce, bagging and rope, fabrics, &c., &c.
In other words, such articles as the would-be oppressors of the South
can make a fair profit, by sending among us, and that are not
particularly needed for war, they desire to force upon us. But such as
they suppose we cannot well manage to dispense with, they pronounce to
be unlawful and will not permit to reach us. Wherever they know we
have an abundance of an article, or can find a substitute for it, they
wish to force upon us the hateful competition of their trade. |
