Great Suffering in fke West

UNITED STATES SOLDIERS EATING rHE1B OWN CoMPANIoNs.-The following is an ex. tract from a private letter received by the edi- tor of the Military Argus:
 Fort Pierre, ~ r, March 15, 1S56-A most horrible affair happened between here and Sioux City in December last, which is almos, too hideous to relate. Three soldiers, named Rlgcrt, Wicker and Cornell, departed from companies D. and H., second dragons, about the first of December, and started down the r'ver On their way they overlook four per- sons from this place, who were proceeding in the same direction, and as self-perservation suggested the idea of strength in numbers, they mutually agreed to travel in company. Up to this tme and for some ten or twelve days after their junction, the weather was re- markedly mild and pleasant A few days af ter, however heavy snow-storms, accompanied with intense cold, set in, which continued with but little lntermlssion for thirty or forty days. during which time but little progress was made. At length their scanty stock of provisions gave out, and starvation seemed inevitable. for they were at least 200 miles in direct line from the nearest settlement.
 Tor SIX days without particle of food. they continued their course down the river. but made very little progress toward their dest- naton. Under these accumulated sufferings tne soldier named Cornell died, and the others to aPpease their hunger, cut up his body, and ate ms hesh. The following night one of the civilians died, and his body was disposed of in Ike manner. On the succeeding night two more of the civilians died, but as the party was discovered shortly after, the living were spared the necessity of making any further meals upon the dead bodies of their companions.
 They were found by party of Major Howe's command, and when first discovered

The Cat out of the Wallet.

There is one charge that has often been urged against the Know Nothing party, and neve yet successfully controverted. It is the fac that, should the order succeed in its designs against the Catholic religion, it will use it. power to crush some other sect The last Ga zette virtually confesses the charge
 After enumerating the increase of the mem bers of the various churches in the "United States and Territories" the Gazette, in it's las issue, says:
 1t may be easily perceived that those denomna tons whose church polity tends to arttocrucy ana mond'ch9, have increased ill greater ratio than tho others"
 We never before knew that there was any church in the Union that tended to a,1stocrocl 0, monarchy If there is a single one, we are ignorant of the fact. The Gazette speaks o ''Nose denominations" of course it means that there are more than one. The Know Nothing party then has it's evil eye upon more churches than the Catholic. This is what we have always charged.
 We now demand of the Gazette to know which are the churches in the United States "whose polity tends to arlstocracy and mon- archy?' We want an explicit answer. If there is an arstocratcal or monarchical church in our midst we desire to know it. We desire to know which religious sect is to be the next object of attack
The true Democrat., 1856-05-20
Will he Accept?

Various rumorS are atioat to whether Fillmore will accept or decline the Know Nothing nomination, and there is considerable uneasiness, in consequence, in the Know Nothing camp A correspondent of the Roch- ester Advertiser says:
 You may expect some stirring political news in few days. GEORGE LAW will be the American can ddate. FILLMORE will decline the nomination of the party given to him at Philadelphia He will de- cline because he Is not "Amelican" in the party sense in which that word is now used bv the Know Nothings. Information has been received from Mr. FILLMORE, within few days, to that effect He will give his reasons for not being one ot the dark lantern party"
 Our own opinion has ever been that Fillmore will decline the nomination.. He is too shrewd man to take passage upon a sinking ship lie has travelled too much. We do not believe his principles stand in the way of his accept ance, but we do believe that his fear of defeat will deter him.
 II he declines, what will become of the specially the South Americans? What will become of ANDREW JACKSON don. elsons Will Live Oak George do? We await coming events with good deal of curiosity.

The Cincinnati Slave Case.

Our readers have been informed of recent instance of conflict of authority at Cincinnati, between the courts of the State of Ohio and of the United States in the case of H. H. Rob- inson, esq, the United States Marshal, who was arragned before the probate court of Ham, ilton county for contempt of court in delivering the slaves in the Gains case to the owner in- stead of obeying the order of Judge Burgoyne to bring them before the probate court upon writ of habeas corpus. The Marshal answered that the slaves were delivered to the owners in compliance with an order of the United States district court, of which he is an officer Judge Burgoyne fined him $500, and ordered him to be committed until he obeyed the order of the court. The Marshal applied to Judge Leavitt, of the United States District court, to be liberated by writ of habeas corpus; and on Wednesday last, the case having been previous y fully argued, Judge Leavtt delivered his decision, releasing MT. Robinson from custody on the ground that in refusing to obey the or der of Judge Burgoyne, he was "acting under the authority of a law of the United States and in the discharge of his official duties

MARYLAND PoLITIcs.--The old line whigs of Maryland, through their state executive committee, have issued the following interest ing address:
 To the ach'gs of Maryland: The under, gned as members of the whg central committee of the State, have deemed 1t their duty to present this statement of their views. The whios of Maryland will, we have no doubt sustain this proceeding, and acqulesce in its proprietv. | It IS our decided conviction that the election contests In this country are already sufficiently exciting and absorbing in their character If the differences of opinion between the religions denomlnatlons are to be appealed to and to he used as incentives to party action, no man can foresee how terrible may be the result. Heretofore, after the elections have been sot- tied at the ballot-boX, calm has seceeded ina political storm. With the close of the contest have subslded the exciting and often anorv feelings which prevailed during its continuance hose who were allenated one from the other by political discussions have generally retur,.ed to thelr friendly relations after thes settlement Of the questions which divided them. But # Tn addition to the causes of discussion which ordinarily exist, religious controversy is to tale place, who can allay the excitement which those combined causes may produce, and when will such contest be finally settled?
 ln this country every man is permitted to worship his Maker in such way as his con. science may approve, Our laws and const;tr. ton were framed to secure to all this olorious privilege. The native and naturalized ct;zens are equally entitled to the blessings of onr oo. vernment. All are equal, and when a straneer takes up his abode here, and has remo;ped among us during the time prescribed by the naturalization laws, he has a right to become a ctlzen. and will be entitled to the privileges of our citizenship.
