FRox FLoRIDA.--The Tallahassee Sentinel Of
April lst, contains the following statement:
"Governor Broome left last night in the stage
for the city of Washington. His visit is connected
with our Indian difficulties. Despairing of accom-
plishing anything by correspondence. he has gone
to Washington to state the case in person to the
President and Secretary Of War. If he can sue
ceed in enlisting the sympathies of the admins
tration in the case, ways and means for the reno
val Of the Indians may be forthwith provided. If
he fails in this, however, and fails to get the au-
thorities to do anything more than has already
been done, we understand that his Excellency cen
templates the painful necessity Of convcning the
raising money. He is powerless, and cannot af
ford adequate protection to the frontersmen with
out authority of law"
"A DEFENCE OF THE AMERICAN PoLIcY."-We
have received, through the kindness of the author
a neat octave volume, entitled :" A defence of the
American policy" published by De Witt and Da-
venport, and just issued from their press. The
author of this very interesting work is the Hon.
Thomas r. Whitney, M. G. from the city of New
York, gentleman who has both written and spo-
ken much and ably in defence of American princi-
pies and policy, during the last few years The
work before u.s. and which we have read with great
pleasure, is divided into some five and twenty
chapters, embracing the various matters involved
in the American Reformation, its causes, princi-
Piles and objects, and 1t ought to be placed In the
hands of all who desire to inform themselves of the
merits Of the American movement, and we doubt
not it will have an extensive circulation and pro-
dace beneficial influence in the present contest.

pages-By Laura j. Curtis Though this is appa-
rently the authors first work, we feel confident
that she has written before, much and well, on va
rious subjects, for she is evidently thoroughly
practiced and experienced writer of no common
ability. She has evidently written this book with
purpose, and to its accomplishment has devoted
the earnest powers of her cultivated mind and the
high talents that nature has bestowed upon her
namely, to- show by most powerfully written and
thrilling story, some of the evils that beset the path
| Of women in society. The temptations and trials
With which she has too often to struggle and which,
ahs! sometimes prove too strong for her feeble
strength to withstand. The fair authoress shows
ais, how rugged path woman has to pursue, il
| she endeavors to become what the hne organiza-
ton given her by nature evidently intended her to
be, highly accomplished, finely educated, fasc-
mating person, and not the nambypamby, sickly
sentimentalist that the general fashionable eduea
ton now given to girls, is well calculated to form.
