the late rise of thirty per cent. in the
price of iron, and that the advance nav
agreed upon will afford no greater prof,
than the prices OF last year.

dren fell in behind the mourners. 1t needed not
the mantle Of death to cast its shadow DER the
little throng; their measured steps and bending
forms bespoke the Grape they wore. How the
frozen earth echoed the heavy treadngs of their
sorrow. Her surface seemed the lid of some
vast charnel house, the Gathering footsteps,
heaps of falling earth, covering the SHAMELESS
of her dead. Standing around the open grave

GOVERNOR McCLELLAND.

II is gratifying 10 the sterling and unchang-
ing democracy of Michigan to perceive that Gov.
Nee is appreciated elsewhere as he is here.
more able and incorruptbe officer, more up
right man, Gen. Pierce could not call to his aid.
The Milwaukee Ne,cs Of the 26th ult has the
following article on the subject:
"HoN ROBERT McCLELLAND.-We perceive
this gentleman is favorably spoken of by the
Eastern press as the probable recipient of Cab
met appointment from Gen. Pierce. The selec-
ton of Gov. McCeand to any important sta
ton by Gen Pierce, would be compliment that
the North-W West would appreciate, and the recip-
lent would reflect credit upon any situation he
could be induced to occupy
There are some points about which we have
not always agreed with Gov. McClelland; but,
take him in all his relations, we consider him one
of the soundest and most promising political
men of the day. That he is appreciated in Mich
igan is evident from the fattering manner he
has thrice been sent to Congress-twice made
Governor of the State-the last time unanim-
ously nominated and unanimously made Sena-
toral Delegate to Baltimore, and there, with
equal unanimity, made Chairman of the Michi-
gan Delegation. Governor McClelland has been,
and is,he devoted and tried friend of Cen Cass !;
and the democracy of Wisconsin remember,wih
feelings Of gratitude and pleasure, the eloquent,
earnest and effective efforts he made amongst
them in lS4S, in behalf of the noble standard
bearer of the national democracy from his State,
and in showing up the hollowness and folly of
sectional agitation and abolition hypocrisy In
this State, and in Ohio and Pennsylvania, the eff
forts of Gov. McClelland to keep the democrat
ic party together, made a deep impression, and
were most sensby felt by the friends of Gen.
Cass Indeed, the exertions ofGov. McClelland
in Pennsylvania were so effective, that we have
been assured by some Of the best politicians in
that State, that had he made his visit there three
weeks earlier, he would have saved the Old Key
stone-his native State-lhe disgrace of falling
into the hands of the Galphins."
