IN JUSTICE To THE Inoeums.

I have read with interest the review in the Spectator, March lfith,-page 427,- of George M. Wrong's book, Rise and Fall of Nero France, and I take exception to the reviewer abusing the Iroquois as peculiarly cruel and treacherous:- and saying• the French and English did horrible cruelties in their border raids. They were rather cruel, but the white Coureurs de bois or Frontiersmen were equally so, and swiped and murdered quite as much; and the tomahawks werq made in Britain ! And there was one thing, no Indians ever violated white women prisoners ! You are welcome to print this letter.—Mrs. MINE-HOME, Kanee Irfio, Chieftainess of the Iroquois.-
