Louisville, Kentucky, August 20th, 1861
   The travel on the Southern Rail Road {the Louisville & Nashville RR} is immense. The trains continue to arrive and depart regularly. It is understood that an order from the War Department is on its way here in the hands of an Officer, authorized to execute it, suspending Telegraph Communication with the South. The Managers of the Line from Louisville South refuse to suspend until their lines shall be forcibly or authoritatively closed by the Government, which will probably be done by the close of the week.
