A newspaper which had changed its name four times in II years was evidently not a steadily prosperous affair, but " The Hampshire and Berk- shire Chronicle " had done well enough to tempt Isaiah Thomas into an- other venture here. In January, 1793, he set up his son-in-law, James R. Hutchins, as proprietor of "The Federal Spy;" and that killed "The Chronicle," and sent Edward Grey over to West Springfield to buy out "The American Intelligencer," which existed there for three years. But Son-in- law Hutchins was not a good permanent investment for Mr. Thomas; for it is said that he absconded not long after, and John Worthington Hooker and Francis Stebbins took the property. Mr. Stebbins became sole proprietor in May, 1796, and kept the paper until Sept. 26, 1799; then Timothy Ashley ran it until 1801, when Henry Brewer became his partner; Mr. Brewer owned "The Spy" from 1803 to 1806, then Thomas Dickman of Green- field bought it. With the new editor came another, and politically descrip- tive name, " The Hampshire Federalist ; " and Dickman continued in charge 13 years. Lawyer Frederick A. Packard next bought "The Federalist;" A. G. Tannatt of Boston went in with him, and the firm of A. G. Tannatt & Co. continued until 1822. The rival "Hampden Patriot" was established in 1818 by Dr. Ira Daniels ; and it lived six years, Mr. Tannatt owning it for the last two. In 1829 Mr. Tannatt bought out the "Federalist" establish- ment, -the name of the paper having been changed to "The Hampden Journal," - and conducted it for six years ; and in 1835 "The Journal " was swallowed by "The Springfield Republican," which had been founded by Samuel Bowles in 1824.
An interesting glimpse of local journalism at this period is given by William Hyde of Ware, who came to Springfield near the close of 1828. There were two papers here then, "The Hampden Journal," and "The Springfield Republican :" they were of essentially the same political char- acter ; as the old Federal and Democratic parties had become mixed, and the National Republican party (which afterwards became the Whig party) was

the leading one. When the Jackson party (later the regular Democratic party) arose, its adherents wanted a local organ; and John B. Eldridge, who had edited a newspaper at Westfield, began to publish "The Hampden Whig" on the Hill in 1830. Lawyer E. D. Beach bought him out in 1835, then David F. Ashley became a partner, and Alanson Hawley was editor in 1843. But these details outrun the sequence of our story. To go back: In 1831 George W. Callender, Henry Kirkham, and Lewis Briggs established " The Springfield Gazette," with Mr. Hyde, who had previously done some work for " The Hampden Journal," as editor. He was paid $100 a year, by the way. To the four papers then existing, J. B. Clapp added a fifth, in 1831, -"The Hampden Intelligencer," an anti-Masonic sheet, which died young. At the end of Editor Hyde's first year of service, Briggs, Josiah Hooker, and Hyde bought " The Gazette ;" when the second year had closed, Mr. Hyde went into the law exclusively, and Lawyer Josiah Hooker became the editor ; in 1837 Josiah Taylor took " The Gazette; " and three years later it passed into the hands of William Stowe, afterwards postmaster, and a bril- liant politician. Apollus Munn, who founded "The Independent Demo- crat" in 1841, seems to have been the Brick Pomeroy of the local journalism of his day. His paper was published on the Hill, and boosted him into a clerkship in the Boston custom-house, when he sold out to Dr. Elisha Ashley, who removed the publication-office to Elm Street; and " The Inde- pendent Democrat" was absorbed by "The Hampden Post" in 1844. Munn started "The Hampden Statesman " in 1845, and "The Post" bought that out in 1847. Mr. Munn wrote on the latter paper for a time, became interested in spiritualism, and soon died. We have thus hastily sketched the growth of the weekly press, omitting a few ephemeral sheets which took no hold on the local life.
We now come to the birth of daily newspapers in this city. Samuel Bowles, the second, was alert to the possibilities of his profession ; and the young man dreamed dreams, put in long days of the closest work, and was growing up to his opportunity. The elder Bowles had begun to print two " Republicans" a week, soon after "The Gazette" was started, one on Tuesdays to suit the post-riders, and another on Saturdays. Before 1833 the daily journals of this country were huge blanket sheets, wedded to party politics, and lumbered with dead advertising. They might more properly have been called political tracts than newspapers. Then came "The New-York Sun," born in 1833, and founded by a Springfield man, Benjamin H. Day; "The New-York Herald " came into being in 1835; in 1841 Horace Greeley's "New-York Tribune" saw the light, and the mod- ern newspaper was fairly started on its career of wonderful achievement. "The Daily Republican," conceived and created by the junior Bowles, was given to this city on the evening of April 1, 1844. It was pre-

eminently a child of faith, for it began without a subscriber; but it was not an April enthusiasm. "The Springfield Gazette," under Mr. Stowe, began to publish an evening daily, two years after " The Daily Republican " en- tered the field. Both were Whig in politics, and in 1848 "The Republican" absorbed "The Gazette." "The Springfield Sentinel," a Democratic semi- weekly, edited by Mr. Hawley, came here in 1847 from Palmer, lived a few years, and was then sold to " The Northampton Courier." Valuable details about the newspapers of that time are given by Lawyer William L. Smith, who came here in 1847, after some experience in Boston journalism, and was editor of "The Daily Post," which was begun June 1, 1848. Before "The Republican " bought out the "Gazette " list, "The Post" was the strongest daily. An editor's life was a busy one then as now; and Mr. Smith did his own local reporting and editorial writing, besides scissoring miscellany. When, therefore, in 1853, Gov. Clifford proposed to make Editor Smith register of probate, the office was accepted as a welcome relief from newspaper drudgery. Mr. Ashley at the same time wanted to sell the " Post" property to Mr. Smith, and, failing in that, leased it to Trench & Dwight. The new editor, Lawyer Henry W. Dwight of Stock- bridge, was a bright, companionable man, but averse to "boning down." After eight months he gave up "The Post:" in 1853 Mr. Ashley took it back, the property ran down, and in 1854 " The Post" died. The next effort to establish a Democratic daily was in 1856, when Elon Comstock came from "The Albany Argus." Abundant money was raised for him, and "The Springfield Daily Argus " began with a fine job-office plant near "The Repub- lican " on Sanford Street. Comstock had a promising opportunity ; but he was afflicted with an itch for office, neglected business, and "The Argus" lasted only a year or more, when the local Democrats paid its losses. Samuel Bowles & Co. offered to buy the establishment for William L. Smith, be- lieving that some opposition was desirable; but he had become settled in the law, and his recollections of the amount of work involved in publishing a daily did not tempt him to go back to newspaper life. He believes that a great opportunity was thrown away when " The Argus " was permitted to die.
"The Springfield Republican" is still conducted by Samuel Bowles. The first editor of that name founded "The Weekly Republican " in 1824; his son developed "The Daily Republican " into a newspaper of national character and influence ; and the grandson established " The Sunday Repub- lican " in 1878. The establishment as it now stands is an educational insti- tution in the community, and from it the late Editor Bowles sent out what might be fairly enough called the ideal provincial newspaper of America. The first Bowles was 27 years old when he tempted fortune here, bringing with him from Hartford the first lever-press the town had possessed. The

FACTS IN RELATION TO THE COM- MON SCHOOLS OF SPRINGFIELD.
We aro ablo to communicate to curircad, ers, the following facts and_'statisticszin rela- tiou to the Schools of this town, fur the past year ;- but we cannot say that we do it with' pride or even with a feeling of satisfaction - The fact berein stated, that the average?at- tendance has been only 1700, while ti:o num- bet of children in town of the proper ages, is about 3000, should bring a blush upon the cheek of every parent and guardian, aml in- cile them to redoubled efforts in order to change the melancholy picture. Will it noi do it ? The farewell advice of Washington, should never beabsent from the minds of ev- ery one of us ; -- " Promote as objects of primo. ry importonce, institutions for the general dif- fusion of knowledge."
The whole numher of scholars in all tho schools in the Suinmer was 2645 : in the Wini- ter, 2916. The average attendance in tho Sununer was 1604; in the Winter, 1771 .- The entiro number of children between the ages of four and sixteen in the town'on the first of May last, was 29813_ About 50 have attended school who were under four, and 231 who were over sixteen. The whole amuunt of time occupied by all the schools has not been less than 326 months, which is an ave. rage of about 10 months to a school ;-- there having been at the commencement of the school year 31 schools,' and there now boing 35. In the Summer, 5 male ' teachers were employed, and 40 female ; and in the Winter, 19 inale teachers and' 27 female, including assistants. The amount of money, from all sources, applicable to the schools during the year was $10, 163 89, which is not quite $3 50 for each scholar. It will be seen from this statement that a large amount of time and money is lost by ahsenec from the schools .- While we have in the town about 3000 children between the ages of four ond sixteen, the ore- roge ottendance upon the schools for the yeor has been only obout 1700!
More than 100 schnlars have attended pri- rate schools within the limits of the town, at an expense of between $2000 and $3000.
From the N. Y. Com. Adc. LATE AND INTERESTING FROM OREGON.
At the meeting of the Board of Managers of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal church-licht far trening-Jate and interesting communications were receiv- eit from the Rev. Jason Lee, the" euperinten- deut of the Oregun mission." The dates aro to the 28th of October, and came via Pensa- cola. Three detachments of emigrants from the Westem section of the United States had errived at the Columbia river, some of whoin had suffereil severely by sickness, and want of provisions. . One man in the last detach- ment had died ou the way, fand hie widow and four children had arrived at the mission station on the Williametle.
The emigrante, on their arrival at the Wil- liamette Valley, expressed their surprise at finding tho religious state of the inhabitants so much better than they expected to find it. Many of them, after their arrival, had attend- ed tho ministry of the missionaries and had given evidence of a desire to change their mode of life. Some had joined the Church on probation, and it was evident that their ex. ample had its effect on many others,
Tho Rev. Dr. Whitman, belonging to the American Board of Missions, who recently. visited the United States, had returned to his charge on the Columbia, in good beakth.
An excellent etate of christian' fellowship pervaded the untiro-family of the Methodis! inission, and the prospects of its success wem never before so flattering. They have euf- fered both by sickness and death, but when these letters wore despatched, Mr. Leesays, those who had been sick were recovaring .- Mr. Brewer je spoken of as having been dans goronsly ill.
The Rev. Bir. Perkins bad beon. assaulteilf by one of the Indians from the interior .. The chiefs had assembled in council, assisted by Dr. White, the United States agent, and. de- termined that the Indian should be publicly whipped, and he received twenty-five lashos. Mr. Perkins interneded for the prisoner and was anxious that he should be pardored, but it was thought that prudence required anex- ample.
ANECDOTE OF MR. CLAY.
The following anecdote of Henry Clay, so eminently characterietio of the mae, and so henorable to the statesman, we havo upon the authority of a distinguished Sonator of the United States. Wa give it as nearly as wr aro able in the language in which we hed it Imin the lips of tbe Itonorable Sonatur him-
It was during the lasl Session of Mr. Clay's service in the Senate-that session during which the namination of Edward Ererett, as minister to England, was confirmed. It will be remembered that, for a number of weeks efter the nomination of Mr. Evorett, great eusponse aud antioty were felt throughout the country, as to the course which the Sense
tor might take upon the question of histcon- firmation. The Southem members, tor,"at leası. a portion of them demanded his rejec. tion, on the ground uf his having expressed seiRiments upon the subject of abolition, high- Jy offensive to the South, and such as the South was called apon, both directly and in. directly, to rebuke and condemn. Matiurs Flood thus, when, at the cluse, or near ther rlosc, of one of the Executive sessions of the Seuate, on a long Summer's day, Mr. Clap hail Jeft his seat and taking up his broad briannel straw hat which he was accustomed to wear in the warm seaum, began walking slowly backward and forward near the door of the Senate, expecting rvrry moment wben an adjournmeut would take place. Just then a Senator from the South, whose name the arntlemian to whom we are indrbledl for these farts did not feel himself af hberty lo men- tion, rue in his place, and called the oneution of the Seuair to a published correspondenco which he kell in his band, between Mr. Ev. erett and contain abolitionists who had ad- ilressed to him a series of questions touchiog the subject of slavery' The correspondence had taken place at a time when, if we recol- Icet rightly, Mr. Everett was candidate for Governor of Maxsuchusells, The language useil by Mr. Everett, sakl the narrator, was strong, stronger than we of - should consifer to have been justifiable. The Sent Rtor having read the correspondence, 'made it the test of a strong, denunciatory speech against Mr. Everett, cemostly and vehement- ly "appealing to the representatives of the Southern interests and institutions' of that body, to record Ilwir sentence of condemna- tion against such dangerous seutiments, by rejecting the nomiantion of the man by whom they were pat forth. This correspondence, together with the speech of the Senator who brought it forward, arrested the ottention of the whole Senate and awakened. new and strong apprehensione among the friends of Mr. Everett as to the fate of his nomination. Soon after the Senator in question had arisen from hi's seat and commenced speaking, Mr. Clay was observeil in pauso in his walk; in and fro, and as the Senator. front tho South proceeded in his speech, he (Mr. C.) became, evidently, mure and more interested till, af length, he gradually returned-to hie accus- tomeil seat, and was stårkling by it when the gentleman who was occupying the floor, fin- isbed kis speech with the following emphatic language :- " If. under tareo eirenm lances, Mr. J'resident, the Senate shall confirm, the nomination of Mr. Everett, I considerzthe Union virtually dissolved !""
" And I-say, sir," saidl Mr. Clay, instanily taking up the words of tho llonorable Sens. tor " that if this Senage, sitting on the nomi- nation of Mr. Everett, or any other man,229 Minister to a foreign Coart shalltake upon it- self to reject that nominetion,'on the ground that the person nominated, has expressed, to his neighbors und fellow citizens of the State to which he belongs," sentiments. not, in ac- cordance with oor own, yet in no'wey. im- peaching his character, or affecting hie quali- fications for the post to which he is nomina- ted, then, Sir," said Mr. Clay, elevating him- nelf lo hie fullheight and raising hie voice' to that clarion-like tone of impassioned. elo- quenen for which he, above all living men; is so justly ilistinguished, "then, Siral tell the Honorable gentleman and the Senate THAT WE HAVE NO LONGER .ANY-UNION TO DISSO1.VE!" Proceeding hom! this point, Ma. C. poured forth, for the space of about ten minutes, the most eloquent speech I ever heard from him in all my life. " And thut speech," said the gentleman from whom these farts wore derived, "settled the question of Mr .. Everett's nomination !""
