Eo A correspondent of the New York World

gives the following account of a ccnversa-

Well my friend. what do the country
people think of public affairs--the war,
and So ono" Well, sir, we hain't sup
posed to know much about such things
/ spose, but l tell you what it is, neigh.
Dor: if you was Abe Lincoln, and should
put such a question as that to me, I'd
turn round and say to him, says I-Mr.
Lincoln, what the devil are you driving
at? Who's boss? What in thunder's
goin, on any how? Where are we?
Where are we comm out ? What's gettin
donc?"''" Your people feel impatient
then, do they I? You don't feel satisfied
with the present condition of things?"
l"No, sir To tell the truth, we feel a
little sharky sometimes. But we don't
want to rush things. We don't mind
things goin' slow, but we want to see em
move just little, anyhow" '"What do
you think of the tax question. This war
is costing us snug little sum, you know,
and we shall have to raise it in some way
or other?" Very good neighbor; very
good. We don't mind the tax. We ex-
pect it. haven't heard farmer say a
word against it'; but whats the use Of
blowing about it so long Why don't
they pile it on? We can stand it--stand
anything for the stars and stripes but
they won't let us. If they'd only tell us
what to do, we'd do it, But hang it all,
pears to me they jest sot there in Wash
ington, seem how little they can do
They speechify to the glorious eagle. when
they'd better be feeding him and protect
ing him; fur, / tell you what tits, my
friend, between John Bull and jeff Davis,
they'll have all the feathers off Of that old
bird yet allow are your people on the
emancipation question:" Thunder and
Mars there it is again niggers pniggers
nothing but niggers! Why don't they
crack away, and let the niggers take care
Of themselves, just as the rest on US do ?
Some wants to protect 'em, and some wants
to sec 'em free; why don't they let 'em
alone? Let 'em run Ct they want to run,
and let 'em stay ef they want to stay; but
pitch into the rebels Use everything
we can get hold of against them. AS old
Bonapart used to say, Use everything
that God and mater has put into our hands.
Down with the rebellion that's my motto,
and you'll find us country people square
as a brick on that. 49i We 60 for crushing

CoLTs ON A HARD, FLooR.--Some peo-
pie state that colts should stand on a hard
