The following from the Louisville COur-
ier-JOuTdl of yesterday, applies quite as
well to Nashville: Notwithstanding our
repeated warnings, some persons will con-
tinue to mail newspapers without first pre-
paying the postage thereon in full. Scarce
" week passes b. without there being
detained at our Post-office at least a half
bushel of packages of short-paid printed
matter. We again furnish the following
information: The rate of postage on tran
sient newspapers is one cent for every two
ounces, or fraction thereof. Hence when
newspaper for the mail weighs fraction
over two ounces, the postage due on same
is two cents. Whenever there is any doubt
as to the weight of a package the same
should be landed to the Post-Office stamp
