SENATE. WASHINGTON, July 23, 1856
Mr.. SEWARD presented invitation from Mr..
Vande rbilt to Senators to visit Saturday morning,
his new ocean steamer, lying off the arsenal stating
that facilities would be offered for that purpose.
The House bill relative to the Improvement of the
Savannah River was passed.

fairs reported joint resolution, authorizing the &C.
Ceptarte by Lieut.. Maury and other naval officers, OF
medals from foreign Governments for services to
science and humanity. Passed.
A lOlg debate followed concerning the priority Of
busint 81 during which Mr. WELLER said that to-day
had been igned by the Democratic Caucus for the
coDsio alton of the Pacific Railroad bill.
Mr.. TRUMBULL protested against the majority
meeting in eecret to decide the order of business.
They might as well expel the minority at once.
MI. WELLER explained that the object was to de
patch business in systematic way, instead Of wasting
time in discussing its priority.
Mr.. CLAYTON said for the remainder OF bis public
life he should always vote as he pleased without being
me save OF any party
Mr. DOUGLAS justified the caucus inforder to de.
feat the policy of the Opposition, who desire action on
public business.
Mr.. FESSENDEN, on behalf of the minority, de-
MED that they ever avOwed such policy OF were
actuated by such desire.
Mr.. DOUGLAS thought everybody who had wit.
Messed the course Of the minority would have right
TO infer from their action that such their policy
He was willing that the peblc should decide the ques

Mr.. WELLER withdrew bis motion TO take up the
Pacific Railroad bill, finding that the day was likely to
be frutessy consumed.

LATER FROM FLORIDA.

Intelligence from Florida, BY means Of letter dated
Fort Myers, July T. confirms the reports published in
The TRIBUNE Of July lo) of an action between the
Semnoles and detachment Of Florida Volunteers on
Pesse Creek. The accounts published in the local
papers were very much exaggerated. one Of them
placing the number Of Indians as high as twenty-five,
and tho killed at sixteen; whereas there not half
that number. AL accounts agree, however, in repre-.
senting the conduct of the Volunteers to have been
very gallant and their action one Of the most credit
able to themselves Of any that have occurred.
On account Of the great numFr at Fort Myers,
there beirg over hundred daily on the sick report,
orders had been received from Washington removing
all those effected with chronic diseases to Fort Colum.

and will be accompanied BY one regimentsl and one
medical officer. Who will be detailed fo- this service
lie not yet certainly known but probably Assistant
Surgeon Edgar, of the Medicsl Staff and First Lieut.
G. L Hartsuff, Second Artillery.
The officers at this post nearly all staunch Re-
publicans Though many Of them, like the gallant
leader Of the Republican Lost, were born at The South

THE TRIBUNE KANSAS FUND.

We are happy to say that responses to the ap.
peal made in our daily paper, for special sub
scription of the subscribers and readers of THE
TRIBUNE in aid Of the cause Of Freedom in
Kansas, come in with the most cheering prompt.
ness ard hbersity. Il is proposed that every
reader Of THE TRIBUNE, who is 30 inclined, shall
give one dollar for this sacred purpose; the fund
TO be applied in the mode which the conductors Of
this journal shall judge most efficacious and use-
full. Should every reader Of THE TRIBUNE con-
tribute to this fund, it would far exceed one million
Of dollars, which we pledge ourselves shall be SO
applied that no Border Ruiian shall be benefited
by cent of it. AS it is only proper thar
THE TRISCNE itself should do its part toward the
formation of such q fund, we take occasion to say
that We will give toward it the sum of one thou
sand dollars. We add, that while one dollar has
been suggested as the minimum subscription to the
fund, it is by no means the maximum; but
