Queen vfct0rin's BO0k-A New k0yul Auth0r.
Queen Victoria has added her name to the
list of royal authors. But no other royal author,
from King Solomon to Emperor Napoleon I'LL,
the eulogist of Cesar, can lay claim to the rare
and peculiar distinction her Majesty has won
by the book which she has dedicated TO the
memory of his Royal Highness the Prince Con-
sort. Several extracts from this book were
presented in the account of it published in yes
terday's HERALD. II fills unique and unoccu-
pied place in literature. As revelation Of
the woman's heart that beats in the bosom OF
the sovereign Of mighty empire; as q recog-
milton Of the pure and ennobling love which
may penetrate like light both palace and cot
ta0e; as an affectionate tribute to the qualities
and disposition Of the late Prince Consort, and
as an important contribution 10 the history Of
England since the accession Of Queen Victoria
to the throne. this is work Of extraordinary
interest and value.
Originally designed only for the members Of
the royal family and their immediate relatives,
ii partly owes its publication to the dreaded
possibility Of the appearance at some time OF
asurreptitious, and, perhaps, mutlated edition.;
and its publication is also due to the justiiia-
BILE confidence with which the royal widow
must have relied on the sympathy, not only OF
her own subjects, but Of every one whose
sympathy or good opinion is to be desired"
Its charming picture of a happy married life
is unwittingly an eloquent REPUTATION Of certain
modern theories which are insidiously hostile
to the institution Of marriage. women's rights
women may learn from 1t that the experience
Of the very one Of their sex who holds the
highest possible public station verihes the
remark made u her Majesty by Lord Mel.

For The EeStcrn Denl0crnt.

Mr.. EDITOR:-We desire, through your col
umns, to notice the literary exercises at the ex-
animation, on the 9th instant at Sardis Academy.
located miles South east of Charlotte.
This Academy is under the supervision of Mr. H.
&. Reid, graduate of Davidson College, N. C..
The day was fair and pleasant. and at the hour
of 10 O'Clock. about forty students. together with
a number of gentlemen and ladies assembled to
witness the performances. The English classes
came first and gave the best evidences of thorough
training in all the branches far as they had
progressed. We were informed that four of the
students had not missed single word in the daily
exercises of spelling for the last five months.
The Classical Students, of whom there are
about fourteen, read the languages fuently and
parsed them correctly We do not remember to
have ever seen boys acquit themselves better
The hour of twelve having come, recess was
announced, and the ladies in q few minutes spread
a table with all the luxuries usual on such occa-
sions. general invitation given and all
present participated in the refreshments.
Again we found ourselves in the school room.
1t was truly delightful to see the little boys and
girls. from twelve to fourteen years of age,
figuring out sums in interest with such perfect
accuracy and repeating the rules correctly. The
more advanced classes were drilled in the higher
branches of Mathematical science. They work ed
out their problems Understandings in both Alge-
bra and Geometry. There is something cheering
i'm seeing these scenes of former days returning
once more. These exercises closed the examin-
alton.
The speeches and compositions were very
creditable, without exception to the students. We
thought we saw in the declamat ION of the young
men evidences of oratory that might be welded
for good in the future both in the political and
moral world.
This Academy is situated in healthy and
moral community. Mr. Reid, the Principal. is
graduate of Davidson College. \. c. He is
man of tirmness and good diseiplinaran. may
be inferred from the fact that not single instance
OF punishment for lresspassng on the rules has
been necessary since the school commenced.
During the last session FIVE young men left this
school TO enter College. Two went to Davidson
CoIlege,-N. G., and three to Erskine College, S.

IMPORTANT AcTIoN.--It will be seen by the
proceedings of the u s. Senate on the 1lth that
MIR Drake, Of Missouri introduced an amendment
TO the reconstruction bill demanding additional
"guarantees" before Representa- tves from the
Southern States should be admitted. The Sem
ate refused to entertain the amendment by vote
of ~ to ID.
And MIR Stevens, in the House, tried to get the
Impeachment question up and failed signay
that luz declared his purpose to abandon the
matter. 1t is a cheering sign to see that extreme
men like Stevens have not as much influence in
the House as formerly. The action of the Senate
and House indicate a determination to restore
the Union as speedily possible. The sooner
the better for both sections and all classes.
