IN TowS.-Hon. James Gamble, the new
Judge, and Hon. Al. White, the Lecomptonite
who was defeated by Judge Hale last fall, ar
rived here yesterday evening. From the ma
h9uVres thls morning, it is evident that they
are on an electioneering excursion, and White
has doubtless accompanied the Judge for the
purpose of fixing up matters with the Iecomp-
ton wing of the party in this county. The
Judge, though an affable and courteous gen
tleman, is, however, bound to be defeated.

The reception of Horace Greeley at Sacra-
mento, California, was an ovation such as the
white-coated philosopher never before receiv-
ed. He increased his popularity by making a
strong speech for the Pacific Railroad, with
out reference to the route, so that II was be-
tween some place in the Mississippi States and
California. The curiosity of the people rc-
garding him was very great.

SCHOOL CELEBRATION AND PICNIC.

4 school celebration and pic mic was held by
the citizens of Pennfeld and vicinity, at Penn
field, on August 26th. a few days since, a
number of Pennfields PATRIOTIC citizens delib-
eratey concluded that the prolonged monot
ny of this place should be broken; and that a
celebration and picnic should be the neaDs OF
disturbing the usual routine of this quiet vi
cinity. Their conclusions being made known,
the Inhabitants at once acquiesced; and pic
mic was echoed by every one.
Every person Immediately set themselves TO
work making preparations for the coming fes-
tival. The place selected for the picnic was
beautiful grove of apple trees, seemingly
constructed by nature expressly for occasions
OF this nature; seats. tables, and all the ct
.ceteras necessary for the celebration were con-
structed and flags, banners, wreaths, &C., in
great profusion, served as ornaments for the
OCCASION On the morning of the eventfui
day, at IL O'Clock, the company assembled at
the school house near Mr.. Hiram oodward s

vicinity were arranged in procession with their
teachers in front; each school carrying ban

The procession, numbering tTo hundred and
fifty, then proceeded to the grove, and being
arranged in Seats by the marshals, listened to
lecture by DR.. c. r. Early, on the snhject of
the common school saystem Of Pennsylvania.
The DR.. addressed us in his usual, familiar,
and interesting manner, and was listened to
with marked attention by all. The company
then proceeded in order to the table, which
was bountifuly spread with the good things of
earth, rejecting much credit to the ladies'. A
blessing being asked by Grandfather Hewitt,
each one fegaled himself on the bounties
spread before him in manner which showed
that the labOrs of the ladies were appreciated.

SALEM, ONO, JANUARY 20. 1858.
THE OHIO SENATE ON SLAVE HUNTING.

We have recently sent on to the Ohio Legislature
about 700 names of petitioners for the passage of
a law to prevent slave hunting and slave rendition
in this State. These have been promptly present.
ed and referred to the committee on Federal Rela.
tions both in the House and in the Senate.
Those presented in the Senate on Friday last,
by Senator McCleary of this District, produced
quite a patriotic hare'up among the Senatorial
Democrats, as will be seen by the following ex.
tracts from Columbus papers.
The Ohio State Journal, tho Republican paper,
in its report of legislative proceedings has the fol,
lowing
by Mr.. McCleary, the petition of Elisha but.
ton and As others, citizens Of Colum biana county,
for the enactment Of a law prohibiting the rendi,
ton Of fugitive slaves. Referred to the committee
on Federal Relations.
Mr.. Winans offered for adoption the following :.
R~esolred, That the committee on Fedora! Rela-
tons, to whom was referred the petition of Elisha
Dutton and 10 others, citizens of Columbiana coun.
ty, praying an enactment that no person who
has been held as a slave shall be delivered IN by
any officer or court, state or federal, within this
commonwealth to any one claiming him on the
ground that he owe service or labor to such claim.
ant, by the laws of one of the slave States of this
Union" be instructed to report the reasons why
the prayer of said petition should not be granted.
The introduction of this resolution gave rise to
an animated discussion, in which several Senators
participated, but to'day's proceedings are SO vo-
luminous, the Reporter has not time to sketch it.
Mr.. Winans was understood to claim that be intro.
duced the resolution that the people presenting
such petition may be informed thA it is out of the
power OF this legislature to grant their request,
and why. This he was persuaded was the uniyer-
sal voice of the senate.
Mr.. Reid moved that said resolution be referred
to the committee on Federal Relations.
Mr.. Caldwell moved to amend the resolution BY
inserting the following words "if any" otter the
word reasons in the second line from the bottom.
Lost.
Mr.. Taylor moved to amend the motion to refer,
by adding, 'and that they be instructed to report
a bill prohibiting officers acting under the author
ity Of ,his State from engaging in the business of
slave catching"
On which amendment the yeas and Lays were
demanded.
