st. Louis, Jan. 10.
The steamer which left this port last
Friday morning, with commissary and
quartermaster stores for Gen. Dodge's
army At Corinth has Just returned. The
Captain reports that they arrived at Pitts
burg Landing Sunday morning and met
there company from Dodge's army, and
found that there were two companies Of
rebels encampcd within two miles of
them, one above and the other below,
and another large command across the
river. In the morning the troops to
guard the train arrived and Just saved
their capture. As the guard onlynmount-
ed to 400 men, and there was $500 reb-
els in the neighborhood, the Captain is
fearful that the train would be attacked
and captured before it reached Corinth.
There are large numbers Of rebel troops
OF both sides of the river. Col. Hundy
is encampsd close to Savannah with $500
of them, and they had sent for and were
to receive on Monday &c peices Of artil
lory to blockade the river. The Capt.

EDITOR CONSTITUTION In one of
your daily issues, of quite recent date,
appeared the statement, in editorial mat
ter, that Abolition Denmark had failed to
furnish her quota of volunteers under the
two last calls of the Presidtn'. / do not
pretend to give the Ir,cisc language en-
ployed, but the above is the gist of it,
and also implying that they had thus
failed to furnish their quota because Of
their Abolition proclivities. Having quite
an extensive acquaintance in that section
Of the county, and knowing something Of
the zeal which they have ever manifested
in the cause. and also something OF the
alacrity with which they have ever re-
spJndcd to the appeals of our Aid Soci-
cites for delicacies for our suffering sick
and wounded soldiers, | was unprepared
to believe the statement. Taking the
charitable view Of the matter, however,
that you had unwittingly done injustice
to Denmark, and that as soon as you
were convinced of this fact that you
would make the ameaae honorable. The
fatts in the case are as follows Denmark
township has $50 voters; men subject
to do military duty, 100, of which til,
township has furnished 10 volunteers, or
serenity per cent. of her able bodied men.
Here you see that abolition proclivities
not only does not tint to disloyalty or to
disloyal practices, but the very' opposite
Of this is shown by the above stated facts.
Can any other township in the county
show bett-r record. Suppose, MIR. Ed
itor, you compare the above showing with
what Democratic Madison or West Point
townships have done towards putting
down this great Shareholders rebellion,
and give your readers the result OF your
Investigations. JUSTICE.
