ST. LOUIS, July g.

 Death of Cor. EdaeafdS. Letters from Belleyille announce the death of LYMAN EDWARDS, Esq. late Governor of Illinois. He expired on Saturday morning last, of Cholera. at his residence Fl thatplaee.

 Gov. EDWARDS was a man of uncom- mon abilities and exercised, for long ---l-.io,s oIrlIEs Powrf oyef rne Pofitfe- al affairs of Illinois. Under both the Ter ritorial and State Governments, he filled the most important offices. He was Gov ernor of Illinois at the time of her admis- sion into the Union, and for some years previous. After the organization of the State Government, he was elected to the Senate of the United States, for two suc- cessfve terms. An unlucky political ma n@uyre, about the time of his receiving the commission of Minister to Mexico, compelled him to abandon that Mission, and for while clouded his political pros poets. Subsequently, however, he was e lected Governor of the State; and this, we believe, was the last public office held by him. A man of varied and profound know ledge, he was able to meet successfully the most able statesmen of the day. To his numerous family and friends, and to his neighbors, his death must prove a severe af1liction; and the State itself suffers the loss of an enterprising and valuable citi- .zen.-Rep.
