The First Printed Book.

1t is a remarkable and most interesting
fact, says secular paper, that the very first
use to which the discovery of printing was
applied was the production of the Bible.
This was accomplished at Mentz, between
the years 1850 and 1455. Guttenbnrg was
the inventor of the art, and Faust, a gold
smith, furnished the necessary funds. Had
it been a single page or an entire sheet,
which was then produced, there might have
been less occasion to have noticed it but
there was something in the whole charac-
ter of the affair which, if moi unprecedent-
ed, rendered it singular in the current of
human events. This Bible was in two TO-
lio volumes, which have been Justly praised
for the beauty aad strength of the paper,
the exactness of the register, and the lus-
ire of the ink. The work contained twelve
hundred and eighty-two pages, and being
the first ever printed, of course involved a
long period of time, and an immense amo1lt
of mental, manual and mechanical labor /;
and yet, for long time after it had been
flashed and offered for sale, not single
human being, save the artists themselves,
knew how it had been accomplished.
Of the first printed Bible, eighteen cop
les are now known to be in existence four
of which are printed OF vellum. Two Of
these are in England, one being in the
Grenville collection one is ip the Royal
Library at Berlin; and one in the Royal Lii
brary of Paris; of the remaining fourteen
copies, ten are in Epgland-there being a
copy in Oxford, Edinburgh, London, and
seven in the collection of different noble
men. The vellum copy has been sold as
high as eight hundred dollars Weekly
Argus.

THE TREASURES OF MEMORY

On! many and rich are the treasures that lie
In Meuory's magic hall
And light from the dim old Past, coming down
Through the misty night is around them thrown
And ghmmers upon them all
We walk among them, and scarce can see
Through the midst of binding tears;
Fhere are gems of beauty, cankered by rust,
ana rarest jewels covered with dust
The treasures of vanished years.
Ihere are faces, and voices and gsnces, and songs
Sung in ife's early day;
There's fathers blessing, mothers PRAYER
God save my child PAS she brsathed'it there
And gently passed away.
There's house by the brook, with its rusty porch,
And the shady ems at the door;
There are chldrens voices that sung there with gee
And one-oh! how sweet the melody
Ere death swept the harp-strings DER!
There's the meadow-path where we loved to walk,
When the toll of the day was DER.
With no one beside OH how we yearn
Foe the loved and the dead who may not return,
With smiles to greet us more!
Oh many and rich are the treasures that lie
In Memory's secret cell!
And voices come sounding sad and low
From the shadowy realms of the sIong ago.
Like songs from some fairy shell.

The meaning Of 'Hurrah "A great
many people have shouted 'Hurrahp many
a time and oft, but comparatively few know
its derivation and primary meaning. It
originated among the Eastern nations,
where it was used as war cry-from the
belief that every man who died in the bat
tie for his country went to heaven. 1t is
derived from the Scalvonic word 'Hurrag,
which means TO Paradise.

Terrible Effects Ofthc Rain in

SAN FRANcIsco, Jan. "A During the
past fifty hours it has raincd hard almost
inccssantly. The storm still continues.
Yesterday noon the water at Sacramento
commenced rising again and third COM
potc inundation was unavoidable. The
area of land now ovcrilowcd in the State
is twenty miles broad and $50 miles
long, taking upwards of three millions
of acres, mostly arabic, considerable
portion being actually fenced and titled,
1t estimated that $500 cattle and
sheep have been drowned since winter
commenced.
Tho unprecedented succession of trc-
mcnduous storms has washed the min,
ing regions where the ground was pro-
viously upturncd and dug over, producing
great changes and rendering probable q
large increase of the gold product from

'Hhc Death Of General XOlIiCOf-
fcr--1EiS Last words with CO.
EOncl Fry, who Shot Him.

Last evening we had conversation
with reliable gentleman who arrived
direct from Somerset, Ky, via LeXing-
ton, and from him we gather the follow
ing particulars of the death of General
Iollicoller, the leader of the rebel forces
at Mill Springs, Ky, on Sunday last.
Our informant obtained the particulars
from Colonel Fry, of the Fourth Ken
tucky Regiment, who killed Iollicoiio,. =.
Colonel Fry was lying in ambush with a
squa Of his regiment, when Xollicoirer
approached at the head of detachment
OF troops, which detachment was march
ing rapidly in advance of the main con-
iederatc forces. When the General with
his advance had arrivel within twenty
feet of the ambush where Fry and his men
were concca led, the Colonel sprang for
ward and drew his navy revolver and
presented it at the Confederate General.
We may here state, parcnthetically, that
Colonel Fry, who halls from Lexington,
and General Iollcofer were for many
years personal friends, and in their
youthful days associates in the same
school.
Upon discovering Col. Fry across his
path, General Iolicoilcr threw up both
hands and exclaimed : "llold, Fry, you
would not shoot your old friend, would
you ?" Then placing his right hand on
his pistol and pointing back to his com,
mand, continued : "Look, there are all
your friends" which remark was evident.
ly intended to draw Fry's attention away
from him, while he would improve the
occasion by shooting Fry dead in hi
tracks. The brave Colonel did not heed
the remark, but said 81 will attend tt
you first" and pulling the trigger, Iol'
licotler fell with ball pierced through
his breast: His last words were, 81 an
killed; all S WE'LL" and with groan ex
pircd The detachment then turned OF
their heels and rotreated to the main bod,
of the army. Those Of the Confederate
who were taken prisoners censure Gener
al Iollicofler for his impotuosity, rash
ness and precipitato indiscretion, and al
lege that the defeat of the rebels at Mil
Springs was in consequence of the deatl
of their leader in the beginning of TIN

The Burnside ExpcditiOM--LOss
Of Vessels, Horses, and Mu-
hitiOnS Of War.

FonrREss MONROE, Jan. 27.--Thc ar
rival of the steamer Eastern State we
have the first dispatch and official intelli
gencc of the Burnside expedition.
The Eastern left llatteras Inlet last
night and arrived here late this II. Nj.
The recent storms were unusually severe
at Hattoras and considerably delayed and
crippled the expedition, but when the
Eastern State lett everything looked ia
vorablc.
The Burnside expedition sailed from
Hampton Roads on the 1lth and l2tll
inst, and consisted of l2o vessels of all
classes. They arrived at llatteras be-
tween the 18th and l7th inst, having
been greatly retarded by storms and ad-
verse winds which prevailed during that
time. After their arrival at llatteras
they experienced a series of unparalleled
storms that at times it was impossible to
hold communication between any two
vessels of the fleet.
After the storm it was discovered nc
vessel drawing over 7 feet inches coulj
pass into Pamlico Sound.
No vessel either could pass outside the
bar drawing over Is feet of water unless
very skilliully pilotcd, consequently TIT
CHyQf New York struck on the outside
of the bar. She had cargo valued a
$500, 900. ofpowdcr, rifles bombs &c. ant
proved u total loss. Her crew was saved
The steamer PocahontdS went ashore
near the light house and became tota
wreck. Ninety valuble horses belong
ing to the e2hode Island Battery were OF
board of h1 and were all drowned, inclu
ding several valued at $500 each.
The grape shot parted her howser an,
went down at sea. Her crew were saved
An unknown schooner with oats ant
and another schooner name unknown
with six of her crew were lost on tn
beach The steamer Louisiana struck
on the bar whore she still remains, The
report Of her burning is incorrect sh'
may yet get off.
The Eastern Queen and the poglt'uneI
are also ashore tho latter will probably
get off,

three terms or until 1860, with no little
credit He was a leading champion of the
Bell and Everett ticket in 1860.
When the rebellion broke out and was
likely to gain the upper hand in Teunes-
she, Xollicotler joined the insurgents, and
in September was made Brigader- Gen
eral and sent into East Tennessee as com
mander in that department. Statesman
