SELECTED POETRY.
ASA HARTZ.

We copy the following exquisite je~ dc es-
prit with great pleasure. 1t is seldom that
poetry and humor, sentiment and drollcry
are found combined to such an extent in so
small a compass. The spirit, too, that would
give birth to such an effusiOn under such cir
cumstances is worthy of all our admiration.
We are still further interested in hearing that
the author is native Of this city: and is now
an officer on Gen. Loring's staff:
The accomplished humorist, known as Asa
Hartz, was captured some months ago and
taken to Johnson's Island. Although crib
bed, cabined and confined, the irrcpressible
genius of Asa will assert itself. Witness the
following lines which were handed us by a
friend Of the gifted captive. They will be
read with pleasure by Asa's thousand of ad-
mirers in the Southwest, and, We trust, bring
tears to the ''love-lit eye of his ladye love-

Love Undiminishedb by Amputation

Love Undiminished by Amputation.
There is an affecting aud thrilling story
told, in illustration of our theme, says
an exchange, of Commodore Barclay,
who fought the battle of Lake Erie
against Perry. He was engaged to be
married to fine English girl. At Ira
falgar, with Nelson, he had lost an arm.
At Lake Erie he lost leg. On return
ing to England feeling his condition very
acutely, he sent friend to his betrothed
to tell her that, under the circumstances
in which he found himself, he considered
her released from all engagements to
him.
The lady heard the message, then said
to the friend:
edward thinks I may wish our en-
gagement to be broken because of his
mistortuucs, does he? Tell him if he
brings back to England body enough to
hold the soul he carried away with him,
I'll marry him."

Seward and Louis Napoleon.

Seward and Louis Napoleon. -
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times says that the French Gov.
crnment has bean ~0Iicially notified that
it "will--.e held responsible for any
damage the Rarpahannock may do to
Yankee commerce" We do not believe.
anything Of the kind. The Yankee cabinet
hayc found that they may trihc with the
English authorities Ns- they please-that
they may pull Lord John Russell by the
nose, threat, fumc, apologize, and end a
smothered fire in smoke-but neither
Lincoln, Seward, Stanton or any other
Lcderal bully has the hardihood, for one
moment, to throw an insult in the teeth
Of that prompt, vigorous and dangerous
little Frcnchman, who is doing the brain
work of the whole continent of Europe.
Napoleon is not a man to be trihed
with, and no people are as apt to learn
this character in an antagonist as cow
ards. When the French Emperor al
lowed the Rappahannock to depart from
lis ports, lie did so with full know
ledge Of her mission, and well-set de-
tcrmiuationto shoulder the responsibilities
connected with that act. His sympathy
for months has been with our cause, and
the preliminary steps have been taken
which locks to the ultimate recognition,
by his empire, Of the Southern Confed-
eracy as q sister nation. IF in this con-
ditiou CT affairs quarrel is forced upon
Napoleon, it will find him ripe for ali of
its emergencies, and the last man in the
world to follow the example of the Bri-
tish Premier in trucking to the policy of
the Yankee Cayottnian.

LIQUOR at the Present Day.

Some ten or fifteen years ago the intem-
perate man was only known by his rubi-
cund nose. Then, as he continued to
indulge his appetite, the nasal organ
first assumed a suspicious redness, that
gradually grew brighter and brighter until
the carmine tints corrugated into spots
and assumed the growing brilliancy of
rubics then Nature, in her profuseness,
threaded these splendid settings with
azure veins, and the nose, once so comely
and pale, projected out in front as bea-
con light, Informing all men that its
owner carried the sign Of q consumer of
good liquor; and when said nose was
gathered homo to it's fathers, it warmed
up, as with a ray Of sunshine the sur
rounding pallor, aud even to the last shed
a genial glow over the use of the social
glass. But now, how changed? In these
degenerate days the intempcrate man,
however much be may try to hide the
habit from the world, is known by his
sunkeu eye, bis attenuated cheek, his
shrivellcd up and contracted nose, that,
by its very death like look, shows too
plainly of ruin going on in the system.
The reason is, not that human nature
has changed, but that ardent spirit have
and what vas once thing that made
"thc heart glad" is now slow but sure
poison. What once made the face glow
with health, now prepares it with the
expression Of the grave.

Exchange of Prisoners.

We learn another flag of truce boat is
expected to arrive at City Point in few
days, with another lot of Confedcrae
prisoners for exchange, but the precise
time is not yet ascrtained. A proposition
is pending, we understand, which, if
mutually agreed to, will result in the
exchange of several thousand at once,
and probably relieve Danville of the large
number quartered there for some time
past. The arrangement will be quite as
convenient to both sides, and to the
enemy especially, as their great facilities
for transportation enable them to bring
up several thousand as easily as the
number recently sent to City Point.
Owing to the recognition of Butler,
and the absence of official communication
on the subject, except through Major
Mulfsrd, the Assistant Federal Commits
sioner, it is impossible to predict with
anything like certainty, the arrival of a
truce boat from one time to another.
The Richmond Wig is grati6ed to
state, however, that the probabilities are
favorable to the continuance of the ex-
change, and that our gallant soldiers yet
in the hands of the enemy will soon be
restored to their families and friends.

1t is the fixed condition of the coun-
try that the approaching campaign will
extinguish the rebellion or give it new
lease Of life; it is the belief of the coun-
try that our armies in the field, with our
powerful cooperating fleets, are abun.
dainty able to put an end to the Davis
Ccrfederacy in this campaign. This is
the opinion of the country and the army.
The administration is aware of it; Gen.
Grant knows it, and we doubt not shares
in this opinion, and is shaping his plans
accordingly. He has some difficulties
before him; but the immense advantages
which he has gained, and which he now
holds, makes him the undoubted master
of the military situation.
Let the movements Of cur armies,
therefore, in the interval Of the me stiug
of the Baltimore Republican Convention
in June, strengthen Or sustain the mill
tory reputation of Gen. Grant, and the
Convention will be irresistibly borne
along to his nomination. We believe,
too, that between this day and the 7th
Of June such victories will be gained by
our armies as will electrify the country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
