The feeling in New York.

--The New York Day Book, of Tuesday afternoon, contains the following items:

A man was at the barracks in the Park yesterday, charged with desertion. When asked why he deserted, he replied: ‘"I learned that since I left for the war, that my two children had been sent to the Almshouse, and my wife turned a beggar in the street. I deserted to rescue them. Do your worst with me."’

A hard working mechanic of this city recently asked a prominent Republican politician: ‘" What have we working men got by voting for Lincoln? We are totally ruined, and there is nothing left for us but to leave our families to starve, and go to the war to be shot like dogs. "’
