M4RTISsBURG MATTERS.
From the Natesmdn.

From the Statesman;
Mrs Jane Burke died at her son-in-law's
residence Mr.. Theodore Friskey, on Maple
Avenue in this city, Tuesday, January 2lst,
aged SO years.
Mrs. Daniel PittsnogIe, of Hedgesville,
died at her home in that place on Monday
last. Aged about 80 years. She was a
daughter of Mr.. John I. Miller of near that
place.
Mr.. Elijah Ramsburg, living on the road
leading from this place to Kearneysville,
died of la grippe on Monday morning last,
at his home. He was quiet, peaceable
citizen, and was generally respected. Aged
about 65 years. He leaves a wife, but no
children.
From the Senate proceedings of Saturday
as reported by the Wheeling Register we
take the following;
Senator Van Pelt moved to take up out of
It's order House bill to protect the rights of
counties and towns subscribing to the stock
of corporations At the same time he stated
that the bill was intended to protect Jefier-
son county particularly.
The county had subscribed S25O,OO0 to the
stock of a railroad. Its subscrip ion built
the entire line, but the company was now
contemplating the sale of the road, and the
interest of the county would thus be total
loss. Senators Gettinger and Knott both
strongly appealed to the Senate to take up
the measure. as it was matter OF vast i'm
portance. Maxwell and Morris both showed
great deal of i'll temper, but the motion
finally prevailed The bill was then taken
up on its first reading, and amid food of
s0uabbles, contentious and points of order,
it was passed. the title slightly amended,
and Senator Gettinger bore it back proudly
to the House.
In the House of Delegates Colonel Chew
offered resolution authorizing the Covert
or to obtain land books and copies of certain
land books from the State of Virginia ;
which was adopted.
A bill appropriating $4,000 to be expend-
ed for the formation and instruction OF
Farmers Institutes, was reached, few
days ago. Col Chew is said to have spoken
"eloquently and vigorously" in its support.
He said that the farmers had asked little OF
this Legislature. Now, as a farmer himself
and in the name of the farmers, he demand
ed this appropriation. In the name of the
men who owned three-fourths of the prop
erty and paid four-hfths of the taxes in the
State, he demanded it. This appropriation
was to be made in order to better the farm
ers' condition, and the Legislature could not
refuse it. 1t was passed-the democrats
solid and joined by few republicans.

Mr.. ingalls, subsequently, to his late great
est effort Of his life,' IN reply to the sugges-
ton that the L. 5 authorities have no Ju-
risdiction as to certain alleged msltreatment
in Mississippi of a citizen Of Indiana, en-
phatically declares-that had the alleged
victim been citizen Of Kansas, and 1t
should appear that the authorities OF Mis-
sissippi would not ayenge the wrong, and
the u. :. was powerless to prevent such
wrong, he would guarantee that the citi-
zeus of the State of Kansas would take 1t IN
to their own hands TO resent it and to exact
a reparation Il Is fortunate, perhaps,
that these words were uttered by truly
loval Senator of the North, and not by a
rebel brisadier Of the disloyal south
Had they been, the Sergeant-at-arms might
have been ordered to arrest him on the spot.
