From Louisville. Louisville, June 8. --A dispatch dated Louisville, May 25th, conveys the impression that packages for the Confederate States have been opened and inspected at Louisville, by Adams' Express Company. This is a mistake. The Louisville office of this company has in no respect deviated from the customary regulations, taking whatever is offered for points South. The outrages alluded to occur only North of the Ohio river, and only under legal compulsion. Louisville, June 8.--It is understood that Speed has instructions which he will obey, to deliver no more letters from seceded States, and Tennessee, now in the office, but to forward them to the Dead Letter office at Washington. This is creating quite an intense feeling among the merchants. The equity upon which the officials base so palpable a violation of contract, is that postage stamps have been supplied to seceding postmasters, for which the Department can get no returns.

alue, our guns' crews consisted only of volunteer militia, who stood their ground bravely. We had yesterday, in addition to our guns, a small rifled one from Captain Walker's battery, under the immediate command of Lieutenant Robertson, of Tennessee, which rendered efficient service. In connection with the transportation of the Columbiads to the summit of a lofty hill, I cannot speak in too highly commendable terms of the zeal and untiring energy of Lt. Chas. C. Simms. One of thery of four three-inch rifled guns opened fire from an eminence in our rear; and, although their shot fell short, they evidently diverged a portion of the fire of the enemy. On Saturday, one of the four guns was placed in battery here, and was well and bravely handled, under the immediate command of Lieutenant Robertson, a volunteer from Tennessee. I am, very respectfully, W. F. Lynch, Captain Va. Navy. Capt. S. Barron, in charge of Office of Naval Detail and Equipment, Richmond, Va.

Hon. John Bell. This stern old patriot of Tennessee made a succession of stirring speeches on the eve of the late election. He told them that now he was "a traitor to the United States;" that if they wanted to hang anybody, his neck was ready for the noose, and that old as he was he was prepared to shoulder the musket. What a contrast to the false and pusillanimous course of their Etheridge, Johnsons, &c., the vindictive little brood, whose only ambition seems to be to wear the cast-off clothes of Benedict Arnold!

Free States, and was told there were more than these on the Southern route. Disguising himself, he mixed with them a good deal, and learned the object of their settling in Texas, and why they were leaving it now, and a most happy riddance the State is having of them. Capt. H. has no doubt that eight hundred voters have left Grayson, Collin, Cook, Young, Wise and Denton counties. Many of them have left settled farms and cultivated fields. The right sort of immigration from Kentucky and Tennessee can get these farms cheap, and will be welcomed with open arms. Never was there such a chance for bettering fortunes as is now offered to the people of these States. The country is the finest in the world. Thirty bushels of wheat to the acre is no unusual crop, and that all harvested in May. Fine water is abundant, so is timber, &c. Regarding the protection of that country, we are assured that the civilized Indians of the Creek, Cherokee and Choctaw nations have assured the Con

The Minnie ball. --The Nashville Union states that at the trial made by the Military Board of the ordinary sporting rifle with the Minnie ball, that experiment was an admirable success, the Minnie ball holding with great force and precision for four hundred yards. The Military Board of Tennessee have, in consequence, had moulds prepared adapted to the bore of this weapon, and will prepare the balls for the use of such corps as may be armed with them.

ons arrived there on Tuesday. It is reported that all the cotton mills I Manchester, N. H. will stop running about two months during the summer, the operatives preferring such a course to running on short time a longer period. We learn from the Pensacola Observer, of the 3d instant, that Samuel Peter McKinley, a lad aged about 14 years, was killed in that town by the accidental discharge of a gun in the hands of a soldier. There are a thousand acres of barley in one field near San Antonio, Texas. Those who thirst for lager need not fear for malt in the South. The mackerel fishermen of Newburyport, Mass., are out of luck this season. Twenty barrels have been about the average of each vessel's catch thus far. The Louisville Journal alleges that a large quantity of arms have been recently carried from Tennessee to Kentucky, by the Secessionists. A dispatch from Toronto announces the loss of $40,000 worth of timber in rafts, during a gale on the 5th inst.
