The United States Post Office ordered the Louisville Courier excluded until further notice from the mails due to its demonstrated "hostility to the Government and authorities of the United States." Its proprietor, Walter Newman Haldeman, later fled to Confederate-held Bowling Green, Kentucky and published the paper there and later in Nashville. He returned to Louisville after the war and resumed publication of the Courier there once again. (By John Osborne)
