I .emphatically deny'tho truth of those statements, as much as the Danevirke people object to the idea of being branded as a pack of cowards who daro.not show their noses till the man in blue turns up.

Kindly grant the above remarks' a small space in , the columas. of yoiir paper. —I am, &&. ■■'■■'■ ■■•■ . '•.'■■■. :, Peteb Hemmesosest;'.-.
