From the north, Louisville, June 27
 
   The suit testing the legality of the blockade of the {Louisville &} Nashville Railroad has been withdrawn by the shippers prosecuting it. It is understood that Mr. Guthrie, the President of the road will assume the responsibility to decline receiving freight, unless the Collector's permit accompanies it.
   Large quantities of contraband goods are still said to be going over the road to the inland Kentucky towns, and thence find their way into Tennessee.
