ton House." and prospectus for her works,

Louisa Elemjay.
This talented lady, whose rising fame bids fair
to outstrip that Of most female writer's, is in our
city. Her writings.evince unmistakable eviden-
ces-of indomitable energy, satirical wit, brilliant
intellect, and unbounded self-reliance. She has
too much independence, to buy for herself an I'M
merited celebrity, but is destined to enjoy an en-
viable reputation, to stand high in the temple Of
genius, by her own exertions and merit. Louis

This lady whose name is not unknown TO

roism under the most adverse circumstances, COM
mand alike our sympathy and admiration, is now
in our city, establish beyond cavil that "truth is
stranger than fiction" Mrs. Elemjay is lady
in the most acceptable sense Of the term, whose
merits as writer endorsed by the leading lit
erary characters of our country. We ask our
citizens to turn out en- nasse and hear a true wo-
mans history. As dpropos TO this we quote the
following from the Boston Courier:
Louisa EIesdiay and her works.
This name, SO "widely and favorably known
in the South and West" is new here, except 10
editors and the more distinguished literati, who
received copies Of her "Letters and Miscellanes,"
after the prospect of revised and enlarged ed-
ton was indefinitely postponed Though no lit.
erary rocket, which must be all or nothing in a
day, il has much merit, chiefly literary-though
peeping out here and there, like lattice FIR ON TO-
liage, or apropos to some local or personal remin-
iscence, is story too, (for those that can find t)
and many an amusing and deeply pathetic incl
dent-but altogether too much merit we should
say, to remain permanently out Of print.
The Louisville Journal, one Of the best literary
authorities in the country, endorses its writer
"lady of STRONG erhubersnt thought" and the
chary critic of the Boston Post adds, 'sof educa-
cdtiou, genius, ken observation, race and rich
ness Of style, and versatility Of talent hich Is
remarkable" In our opinion she is omething
more. We have all heerd of Woman's rights, bu,
such another example Of woman energies and
moral hersism, the'world, we can safely say, has
seldom seen. Think, poor, Pitful snivler over
hard times, Of feeble, harmless Invalid, made
penniless and INsoLvENT, and changed in the
same evil hour, from can elegant, beautiful wo-
man." to painful spectacle Of human infrmity-
then Of the almost superhuman effort and sacrif.
ces which made the mere fact OF publication, "ar
achievement ,corty to be recorded in letersio, gold
on her after life" See her again when the ex.
hibit of accounts and suppression OF receipts ("a
most infamous expedient,') had defeated its Sec
ond or third reissue within the year, and with it,
that of still more profitable work then in press
Shouts of victory ringing on one ear, taunts OF
failure Kissed into the other the little health
credit and reputation so hardly earned, again
stricken down, by the very hands too, which had
enforced the literary suicide of sales by the a,l.

No! "Disaster may crush-never conquer the
brave. The day is not lost while the cry is 'Ap-

set my foot on its neck as conquered subject!''
And our word for il, she will. To a spirit nerv-

Her "Censor-ia Lictor-iG," isl hasty, half.

dramatic form. A grotesque mosaic
OF wit, sentiment, satire and epigram, perfectly
unique in style, and equal, in our opinion, TO any

little too "crab"hke, perhaps, not to puzzle many
readers with its many-sided meanings; but they
are there, ga perfect embarrass of riches" anc

of our eminent publishers stick pin there, anc
