A Rebel Soldiers opinion of Gen.
eral Custer.

The Richmond (Va.) Wing says that a
gentleman of that city, an old member of
the Otey battery, relates the following Of
General Custer: "The afternoon previous
to the surrender at Appomattox, detach-
ment of the Otey battery, with some other
artillerists, numbering in all about one hun
dred and fifty men, who had been armed as
infantry, foug ght the whole of Custer's COM
mand during that afternoon, and from the
numbers engaged on either sile it was one
of the hottest contested fights on record
during tho war. Next day, when Clusters
men reached Lynchburg, they wanted to
know what brigade they were fighting the
afternoon previous, supposing from the way
the Otey boys and others fought that it was
a brigade fighting them. A member Of the
Otey battery says that Custer was one Of
the bravest men he ever saw, and that he
was at the head of his men most of the
time. The gentleman states that he fred
at Custer deliberately three times, as did
some of the other men also, but the distance
and their inexperience as infantry must &C.
count for his not being HIT"

NIGHT SCENE IN NEW YORK.
How Denizens or the Tenementx
Pass the Weary Hours.

Before nine o'clock last night thousands
OF persons In the Five Points quarter had
gene out into the open streets to remain un-
til morning. All along Baxter and the ad-
)acent streets the inner edges of the side
walks were lined with blankets and bed
ticks, upon which half-nude children were
sleeping SO close together that it was i'm
possible to step between them. They almost
laid over one another, entirely without cov-
erlng, and in many cases with cellar door,
or even the stone tagging alone for bed.
In one placo eight children were asleep on
patch of wooden pavement, six feet long
by three wide, and babes scarcely six
months old, with naked limbs, lay exposed
to the sky on pieces of blakets thrown over
rel!er doors.
An hour later 1t was curious to see the
women and girls sitting on the curbstones,
ana making their toilet for the night by
twisting up their hair and throwing shawl
around them. One after another they lay
oown In the open air, beside the children
ana regardless Of the noisy throng that al
most Josted them in passing, to all appear
ance dropped comfortably asleep. Gradu-
any the noise in the stteets died out A
oevy OF young girls, who had been singing
Inc Star Spangled Banner" and other pa
'riolc airs fell asleep one after another on a
Gellar Se door, and the sounds Of shouting and
laughter ceased.
inc men pulled off their boots, and while
some placed beds on the sidewalk to sleep
", others laid pown on the stones or boards,
ana ana rev braced themselves up in the cor
lers OF the doors to act as sentinels over
the sleepers.
