LOUISVILLE, June S.-A dispatch dated
Louisville, May 18th, conveys the impression
that packages for the Confederate States are
opened and inspected at Louisville by Adams
Express Co. This is a mistake. The Louis
vile office of this Company has in no respect
deviated from the customary regulations;
taking whatever is offered for points South.
The outrages alluded to, occurred North of
the Ohio river, and only under legal compul-
o.
Louisville take letters for seeded States en-
closed in United States envelopes at Is
cents, the Company accounting to the Con-
federates for their postage. Letters destined
North from seeded States, when enclosed in
United States envelopes, are forwarded, the
sender accounting to the COntederates for
postage.
1t is understood that Postmaster Speed has
instructions, which he will obey, to deliver
no letters from seeded States and Tennes-
see, now in the office or to come, but to for
ward them to the Dead Letter Office. This
is creating quiet but intense feeling among
merchants. The equity upon which the Of
ficials base so palpable violation of con-
tract, is that postage stamps have been sup
piled to seeding Postmasters, for which the
Department can get no returns.
