Correspondence Of the Conere gatlonal Journal.
RICHMOND, Va, Saturday, June %.
Mr.. VIM Ragland of Caroline County, In
thi, State, died bachelor IN the summer OF 1919,
leaving 90 Slaves and about 100000 IN other pro-
pertv. after the payment Of all his debts.
He left Will. which provides that al his slaves

Of the properly which they had helped hlm 10 ac-
cumulae. with this alternate provision, that II the
settlement OF n emancpateC slaves upon his panta-
on under trustees should be contrary 10 the policy
of the law which requires that emanclpated slaves
shall be carried out OF the state, then ms executors
shall convert ms estate real and perGonal slaves OF
course excepted into money, pay ms debts, ana
with the balance OF the money PROBABLY 33OOOO,
settle his slaves in some free State. This VIII has
been contested by the relatives Of Mr. Rasd IN the
Courts Of Caroline. and recently established IN favor
OF the Slaves by the Supreme Court IN the cry OF
Richmond. The case was argued with great ability
on both sides and the decision meets the general
appreciation of the community. There are few,
however, who think that a viii which provides
for the emancipation OF slaves as Mr.. kagidn1s
does, Is quite conclusive proof of the insanity oil the
tcstator.
These slaves who have thus become free by the
Justice and humanity Of Mr.. Ragldnd, Will be re.
moved soon as practicable, to some free state OF
this Union or to Liberia. May the Lord dispose

The Indians are still encamped at their strong po

miles beyond Johnsons to the number OF at least
700 and their forces constantly increasing. IL Is
known that they have at least $50 guns and are con-

approach Of our forces.
The effective force now under Col. Rodgers makes
80 men. They were all IN fine condition, well

WoMAN's RIGHTs.-Mrs. Swisshelm, who
attended the Woman's Rights Convention,
at Akron, in debating the subject of the

"fhe physical right TO he taken care Of

er yield. Our physical weakness will ever
he oEr strongest Argument for claiming all
legal, intellectual aud moral war, we ask no
quarter on account of wuiuanhood but of
every man we meet we claim physical pro-
lection, just because he is a man aud we are
a woman. As TO meeting in Convention to
discuss womaD's right to engage in any oc-
cupaiion for which she has capacity, II is
sheer nonsense. There is no law TO pre-
vent women's following almost any bust
ness, and why do they not take their right
to work at anything they please Mrs.
CDe urged that women have right to be
captains of ships Well, why are they not
captains There is no law 10 prevent it,
If we believed it right, and thought we had
the capacity, we would soon command a
vessel and no doubt but the world would
acknowledge our right to do. 1t would
have taken deal of talk to convince the
world Joan of Arc and Jagiello bad n right
to be soldiers, bur without any argufyiDg on
the subject. they proved their title to niche
in the warriors temple of fame. "A man
of words aud not of deeds, is like garden
full of Weeds and a woman Of that kind is
very much like him. There is no use claim
ing rights for those who do not want to use
them, and those who do, should just take
ihem.'

II is very certain that the Iroquois were
among their ancient enemies. Though the
Dakotas assert that Mile Lac was their
original home yet document recently
transcribed at Paris 10y Mr.. Broadhead, and
published in the Documentary History of
New York, enumerates hands of Sioux Who
lived in the woods south of Lake Superior
Coke in his Carolancc, calls Lake Superior
the Lake of the Nadouessons, and SAYS il
was named after a powerful tribe of that
name. Charlevolx remarks that the word
Sioux is a contradiction of Nadouessous,
the name by which the ID akotas were known
among other savages.
In map that has been lately reprinted
by the Historical Society of Louisiana,
which was originally published more than
hundred years ago, and designed TO show
the relative situation of all the tribes west
of Lake Erie, and from the Gulf of Mexi-
co to the far North, the Olibwas are repre-
sented as then living at La Ponte; the Ma
deuessous on the south shore of Lake Su-
perior, and just above the Winneba goes,
who are repi esented as living on Green
Bay. The conclusions then to which we
come are,
l. That the Upper Mississippi was fire.
quently visited between the time of Henne-
pin, the Franciscan, and the British officer,
jonathan Carver.
9. That the Dakoias hunted and warred
in a southerIy district.
8. That they ,lwelt two centuries ago in
the neighborhood Of Lake Superior
If the facts and conclusions are incorrect,
it is to he hoped that some lover of history
better Informed than the writer will bring
them to the notice of The citizens of Min
nesota, who desire To learn all that can be
learned concerning the ulden time in this
Territory.
