ANOTHER BAND OF CHEYENNES SURRENDER.
A Camp Robinson, Neb., dispatch of
Oct. 2Sth says, The famished savages,
after defying the troops, cold and hun
cry for nearly forty-eight hours, came
forth from under the bank of
Chadron creek yesterday at noon, Cart
Ion having sent them word the previ-
GUS day by his guide that if they
did not come forth and surrender
before noon he would blow every one

A RELIEF FUND FOR THE WIDOW OF LIEUT..
BENNER.
The southern relief committee of the
chamber of commerce, of New York,
says telegram of Oct. 2Sth, set aside
s., 1000 as the necleus of fund to be
had in trust for the widow and orphans
of Lieut.. Benner, and say in an appeal
to the public; it seems fit to adopt the
widow and her orphan children as wards
of the people. The sum we have do
mated has been deposited with theCent1al
Trust Company of this city, and it is
hoped that further sums may be added
to it until trust fund shall be gathered
and invested in United States four per
cent. bonds which shall amply provide
for the future support Of the widow and
the education of her children. We
respectfully suggest to other
relief societies, which may still have
Incorporated balances, and to indi-
viduals who are interested in this ap-
peal, to send to the secretary of this
committee whatever to them may
seem proper, which will be duly &C
knowledged in trust under our charge.
