THIRD TAR THE ST. PETERs.-The steamer
Anthony Wayne has, within a few days, made a
third trip of exploration up the St. Peters river.
The point reached was fifteen miles below the
mouth of the Blue Earth river, higher up than any
previously obtained. After passing the spot ar
rived at the week previous, by the Nominee, the
account of the excursion says that the country be-
yond presented a complete change from the lower
part of the valley, both regards the soil and the
character and varieties Of the timber. The sugar
maple, white ash, white and black walnut, wild
cherry, and blackberry abounded. The wild grape
grew luxurantly in the forest, the vines, in some
instances, being eight and nine inches in diameter
at the root, and extending 10 the tops Of the aest
trees.
Bottom prairie5 occasionally broke the density of
the forest, extending over six hundred, and some
times thousand acres, entirely level, with herb
age six feet high. These lands are elevated sufF-
GENTLY for cultivation.

TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY

~ oF hEN Y.
The President, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, has appointed me Attorney
General of the United States, and has been pleased
IN hatering terms, to invite my acceptance of the
appointment.
+ have, on full consideration, determined to &C
cept it, and il therefore becomes necessary for me
to resign, have this day done, the office of Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
To you am indebted for the office which | thus
rclinqush, the highest and most honorable in your
gift; and have therefore thought it suitable to the
occasion, and respectful TO you, to make known,
IN this public manner, my resignation and the
cause of it.
very soon after my election, our late President,
the good and the illustrious General Taylor, of
fered me place-the first place--in his Cabinet
declined 1t, and, among the that influ-
enced me, not the least was, the apprehension that
so sudden an abandonment of the office to which
you had just elected me might be regarded as a
want OF duty TO the State, and proper respect for
the great honor you had conferred upon me. But
now, that have served nearly two years, and that
my term OF Office, shortened by the new constitu
ton, IS approaching it's termination, think may
without reproach or censure, be permitted to re-
sign, and that, considering all the circumstances,
you will approve my course.
In the new station to which | am about to 60, |
hope that may, in some humble degree, be SER
viccable to you and our common country. OF one
thing you may be assured that, in whatever email
degree may be able to effect any thing, my best
exertions will always be directed to the quoting
of the unhappy discussions that now prevail,
and above all things, to the preservation of the
Union.
or my administration as Governor, you will
judge; and have only this to say, that have en-
deavored to do the best and that have served you
faithfully, If not wisely.
My resignation can occasion damage to the
Commonwealth. The high character and eminent
qualifications of the gentleman, (Lieutenant Gov
ernor Heinz who succeeds me, give to the Com
monwealth the greatest assurance of an able, WISE
and faithful administration of its government.
In terminating my present official relations with
you, permit me to crafty my heart by saying,
that whatever of affection, loyalty, or gratitude
any human being feel or owe to you, and to
Kentucky, that do | feel and that do owe. The
dtbt Is my great treasure
am your grateful fellow-citi

Death OF Commodore Jones.

Commodore Jacob Jones, whose very dangerous
illness we mentioned on Saturday morning, we are
now panied TO announce, expired during the same
evening, at his residence on Chcsnut street. He
died in his eighty third year, and therefore, full
of age as Of honor. His name has long stood third
on the list Of captains Of the navy of the United
States, Commodores Barron and Stewart being his
only Seniors.
At the late hour at which receive the intclli-
gence OF his demise, it Is not in power 10 pre-
pare detailed sketch Of his life and services such
as would properly accompany this announcement
We arc only able to mention that he was born in
the State OF Delaware, which will long be proud Of
his memory, and to refer 20 the glorious fight
which his fame il founded the affair of the Wasp
and Frolc, which his country will never allow TO
be forgotten This action fought the 18th
Of October, 1872, and hence of the earliest
well as one of the most brilliant, Of the naval
victories Of tho war.
II was deemed Of so striking and important a
character that the Legislatures Of New York, Mae
sachusetts, Delaware and, we believe, other States,
voted Captain Jones their thanks, with swords and
pieces OF plate; that Congress conferred upon him.
