lSHAYs' REBEIIIoN.-The present recalls
country, and among others, Shays' famous
rebellion in Massachusetts,. Daniel Shays
was born in HOplkintOn, Mass, in 1747, served
at Bunker Hill, and became q captain during
the revolution, Although not prominent in
the first movements Of the rebellion, Shays
was chosen commander. The Insurgents
cnmplained that he governors salary
was too high, the Senate aristOcratic, the
lawyers extortiOnate, and taxes too burden
some to bear; and they demanded an issue
Of paper money, and the removal Of the leg
islature general COURT from Boston. An eff
fort was made to allay the dIscOntent by the
collection of debts and allow certain back
taxes and debts 70 be paid in produce, but
the mob was not satisfied. Bodies of armed
men interrupted the sessions Of the courts in
several counties, and in December, lTS6.
Shaya appeared with q large force at WOr-
cester and Springfield, and prevented the
holding of the court at those places. In
january following, ut the head Of nearly
1000 men, he marched to capture the arsenal
at Springfield, but was opposed by the mill
tia under Gen Shepherd, and the insurgents
were fred upon and fled, leaving three
killed and one wounded upon the field. Next
day they were pursued by large force under
Gen. Lincoln, aud, at Petersham, $50 were
taken prisoners. the remainder dispersed,
aud the leaders made their escape into New
Hampshire. A free pardon offered to all who
would lay down their arms was generally
accepted; fourteen were tried and sentenced
TO death, but were pardOned. Shays sought
safety for about year in Vermont, and, at
his petition, was afterwards pardOned and
settled in Sparta.-N. Y. Sun.
