ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT.
Sometime previous to 1820 (the exact date not known) a family by the name of Kelly, settled in what is now the west part of the city. They were the first white inhabitants that disturbed the Indian in his peaceful possession. The first house was built by John Kelly, and was situated on the same spot where now stands the old frame dwell- ing, known as the " Garret House." Another one of the Kelly's built close to the spot where now stands the residence of Mrs. Trotter, and the third reared his humble cabin close to, if not upon, the identical place where Archer G. Herndon, Esq., now resides. The second fam- ily, if we are correctly informed, came here in the spring of 1820, and
18 SPRINGFIELD
settled in that part of the city known by the old inhabitants as " Newsomville," situated a little south and east of " Hutchinson's Burying Ground." Their names were Duggett. No other settle- ments were made in, or immediately around, what is now Springfield, until the spring of 1821, when several families were added to the " in- faut colony."
It is not our purpose to describe the toil and the labor they endured ; the difficulties and the dangers they surmounted-the deprivations and tiseries they suffered ;-- it is not our purpose to portray these, though it were well to have it done, to teach all " grumblers " of the present day ;- those who are continually croaking of the "hard times" and the difficulties by which they are surrounded, this one great truth ---- that their hearts ought to be continually filled with thankfulness for the ten thousand blessings they enjoy, compared with that band of pioneers, who prepared for us a pleasant place, in the then wilder- ness, and who are now sleeping very quietly over yonder, in the " Old City Grave-yard " -- and there let them rest! Let no Vandal hand disturb their last reposc. What though the city surrounds the " hal- lowed old spot"-spreads upon every hand-until that "grave-yard" becomes its very centre-still let the old pioneers rest. It is the place chosen by them, before most of us were born, and there, as one by one the old hero's gently passed to the "dreamless sleep," the tottering survivors laid them down to rest, in the chosen spot, by the side of those that had gone before, and there, we say again, let them rest, -- rest in peace, until the GREAT MASTER himself shall arouse them from their slumber. Wall in that "Old Grave-yard," wall it in well, and never let the sacriligious hand of avarice molest them in their " last peaceful home."
ITS SOCIAL LIFE.
It would be a pleasing duty for us, did our limits permit, to de- scribe the social life of Springfield a quarter of a century ago. What & strange contrast it would present to its social life now ! Then an Arcadian simplicity gave a charm to its rural existence. Shut out.

as Springfield was from nearly all the world-no town, of any size, within a hundred miles-no telegraph to flash its lightning news-no railroad to wake the echos as its car's thundered along-none of life's refinements or its luxuries, and barely enough of its necessities -- the few inhabitants of Springfield lived (what would be called now) a strangely unsophisticated and monotonous life ; and yet their's, in the main, was a gladsome existence. It is true that there was less re- finement, but then there was more humanity-less intellect, but more heart-less fashion, but more sociability. That was an age of calico dresses and sun bonnets-wool hats and jeans coats. That age has passed, and with it, we are constrained to believe, has gone much of life's honest simplicity. In its stcad, however, has come a more glo- rious period-an age of intellect, thought, and power-an age wherein man is asserting his supremacy over the traditions of the past-an age in which man is asserting his high birthright, proving his kindred and relationship to the ETERNAL ONE ;- for in this age man himself has become a very god, and the wild elements cower in gentle sub- servency to his will. The past was an age of heart and soul-this of intellect and brain. We are content with the change. Give us rather the cold, bright glories of the present than the warmer, but misty darkness, of the past.
ITS IMPROVEMENTS.
Want of space compels us to sum up, in a few brief sentences, a sketch of the improvements of Springfield. All the original houses were simply " log cabins," and years went by before such a thing was known as a frame house. The first brick house built still stands. It was built by John Taylor as a store-house. It is the little brick situated at the south side of Jefferson street, a little west of the resi- dence of. William Carpenter, Esq.
Springfield originally consisted of a little cluster of log cabins, sit- uated in the neighborhood of the Gas Works, It was a long time be-
20
SPRINGFIELD
fore the town made any progress in the direction where the principal part of the city now is.
It may seem strange that Springfield ever had a rival for the county seat ; yet, nevertheless, she had a very formidable opponent --- one that contested the matter with her most bravely-one who, for a long time, counted sure upon victory ; but, alas, for that rival now !- there is nothing left but its name, and that name is Sangamon. If we are correctly informed, not a single house is left in Sangamo Town to tell the sad history of its disappointed hopes-its desolation and decay.
The first tavern that Springfield could boast was kept by a person named Price. It was situated on the place where now stands the resi- dence of Charles Lorsch. It was an old-fashioned, two-story log house. We sometimes hear the over-fastidious complaining of our present hotel accommodations. All such should have spent a week at " Price's Tavern," and, we predict, that they would grumble never again.
. The first tavern of any pretension was the old " Indian Queen Ho- tel," built by our townsman-A. G. Herndon. It was the same house subsequently enlarged and improved by Joel Johnson, and was burnt to the ground several years ago.
The first store for the sale of dry goods in Springfield was opened and kept by Elijah Iles. It was situated upon the same ground now occupied by the residence of our old friend-John Hay.
In 1837 the seat of government for the State was removed from Vandalia to Springfield, and the first session of the Legislature here was in the winter of 1839 and '40. The Senate held its session in the Old Methodist Church, and the House of Representatives met in the Second Presbyterian Church.
For the last several years Springfield has advanced with a steady and healthy growth, and is destined, we believe, to be the finest inland city in the State.

Springfield has been strangely exempt from casualties. The only fire of any note we ever had was two years ago last May, when the west side of the square was mainly burnt; but, phoenix-like, it has arisen from its own ashes in renewed youth and beauty.
The most important event to Springfield was the completion of the Alton and Sangamon Railroad, now the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Railroad. The completion of that road breathed into us a new life, and, lately, the extension of the Great Western Railroad's connections to Toledo, has been of incalculable benefit to our city. We want two other railroad connections-the Springfield and Keokuk Rail- road, and a railroad in a south-eastern direction, striking the Central Railroad at, or near, Vandalia. Give us these, and no man can pre- dict to what position Springfield will attain.
CONCLUSION.
Our proposed task is done. We have already extended this brief history, perhaps, beyond what prudence and good taste will justify.
To us it was a pleasant theme-a thousand memories of our boy- hood have been crowding upon us, and we hope to be forgiven, if over these pleasing recollections we have lingured too long. But let us turn from the past-it is gone from us, and gone forever ! The facts that compose its history are fixed and changeless -- we cannot change them if we would. The great mistake which, as a city, we have made, it would be useless to regret. But the future is all our own. Its history we can shape as we will-our destiny is in our own hands, and we can make it, if we will, a glorious one. Then, let us' one and all, go forth, each to his appointed task, with a higher hope and a loftier aim. Let all miserable local considerations be forgotten-let all rise superior to the degrading promptings of a wretched selfish- ness-let the common heart pulsate for the common good-let a manly city pride ennoble every bosom, and, with a generous and gal- lant rivalry, let ns all struggle to promote a general prosperity, and then Springfield will become-what she ought long since to have been-our pride and cur boast !

This road was commenced in the month of August, 1850, and was then known by the title of the " Alton and Sangamon Railroad." During the summer of 1851 the work on it was nearly suspended, by reason of its financial difficulties. In December, 1851, the work was vigorously resumed, and, under the contract of B. Godfrey, Esq., it was finished from Alton to Springfield, and opened for traffic on the 10th of September, 1852. On the 18th of October, 1853, it was opened to Bloomington, and on the 1st of August, 1854, the first train run through to Joliet, since which time it has been doing a regular busi- ness between Chicago and St. Louis.
24 SPRINGFIELD
The managers of the road have encountered many difficulties, and seen hard times in money matters, but they now have a bright future. On the first day of October, 1857, J. A. Matteson (then governor of the State) accepted the presidency of the company ; and through his extraordinary energy, superior capacity, and great application to busi- ness, connected with his well-established personal character and in- fluence, he has succeeded in establishing the credit of the road, both in a financial and a commercial point of view, on a firm basis.
The mutterings and grumblings that were heard from one end of the line to the other during the years of 1854, '55, and '56 are no longer heard. The business community are rejoiced in their transactions with the agents of the road. The farmers along the line have been. or are being, settled with, for the stock that has been killed by the trains ; and what by many-less than one year since-was regarded as a curse, is now hailed as a blessing.
One other thing-which is of some importance to many of our citi- zens : Gov. Matteson will cause new certificates of stock to be issued to all the bona fide stockholders, and its productiveness cannot ad- mit of a question or a doubt-the increase of business on the road be- ing large and constant.
We are under obligations to V. Hickox, Esq., who has been con- nected with this road, in various capacities, since its first inception, for the above list of officers and brief history of the road up to the year 1854. May his shadow never grow less ! And long may the man- agers, officers, and stockholders of the St. Louis, Alton and Chicago Railroad live to enjoy the well-carned fruits of their labor.
