The Tallahassee Sentinel, of the goth ult.,
says: Governor Broome, we understand, left
last night in the stage for the city of Washing
ton. His visit is connected with our Indian diff
fculties. Despairing Of accomplishing anything
by correspondence, he has gone to Washington
to state the case in person to the president and
secretary of war We sincerely hope that his
mission to the federal city may result in the ac-
complishment Of something more satisfactory
than he has been able to effect by protracted
correspondence. lfhe can succeed in enlsting
the sympathies of the administration the case,
ways and means for the removal ofthe Indians
may be forthwith provided. If he fails in this,
however, and fails to get the authorities to do
anything more than has already been done, we
understand that his excelency contem plates
the painful necessity of convening the legisla-
ture. He has no money, and no means of rails
ing money. He is poWerless and cannot afford
adequate protection to the frontersmen without
authority of law *s$o5e$ Nj &5 ~
