meeting of notification, assembled here
yesterday and will proceed to Albany TO
officially appriss Tiiden of his nomina-
ton. A feeling prevailed among some
of the members Of the committee that

is not strictly correct. Tilden, they say,
was nominated as a citizen OF New York
and not as Governor of the Empire
State; they hoped to meet him ut his
private residence in the metropolis.

New YORK, July 1.-The Herald has
the following additional particulars of
the Custer fight: Took the flying savages
in the flank or doubling back on Reno.
Reno crossed the Little Horn and charged
down the valley one mile and half, fol-
lowing what seemed to bs flying Indians.
Certainly they were on the dead run, but
all at once turned and charged on the
command and engaged the Indians. The
fires were terrific and reminded those
present OF the engagement OF the Wilder
ness. Reno says he never heard firing
more terrible. In moment his CON-
mand was completely surrounded by

short range. Charley Reynolds, a we'll
known scout afterwards killed. exclaimed

opinion. He ordered his men to mount,
and leading the way they cut forward.
Porter's attention was attracted by fly.

who was shot through the heart. The
cavalry was flying, pursued on every
side by Indians. Porter sprang to his
horse and throwing his arms around its
neck, he goaded it forward, passing and
being passed by Indians in their chase
for scalps. They reached the ford with
little loss. Mcintosh, mounted on bis
horse which had been wounded, was
overtaken, pulled from his horse and
plugged with pistol shots while lying al
the feet OF his murderers. In this state
of confusion three companies reached
