NATIONAL AFFAIRS. wt Our Washington Correspondence, Wasutnorow, Nov. 21, 1853. Af feat of Gen. Foote in Mississippi and Gov. Cobb in Georgia—Bhe Reasons Why— Probable Effect Upon the Cabinet and upon the Democratic , Factions in Congress—Gow. Cobh and the French Mission—Curious History, §c. The recent election in Mississippi was a contest between Gen. Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, and Gen. Foote,on the remains of the old Union question; aud Gen. Foote has been signally defeated. The recent election in Georgia was a contest between the remains of the Uuion party of ‘51, and the ra- organized democracy under the lead of the fire-eat- ers; and the result is the assassigation of Gov. Cobb in the house of his friends—the very thing which he might have expected. Gen, Foote and Gov. Cobb are both done for; but | their overthrow only teuds to complicate, instead of quieting, the existing troubles in the democrati> party. Mr. Cobb, im 1851, ran as the Union candidate for | Governor of Georgia, against Charles J. McDonald, | President of the Nashville Disunion Convention, and | a violent fire ester, when Cobb was elected by a majority of some 15,000. The Union party was composed of the balk of the whigs and a fraction of the democrats, and the secession party of the mass of the democrats and a fraction of the whigs. The coalition of the Union party was for the Spoils as well as upon principles, and hence, while Mr. Cobb, demoerat, was made Governor, Mr. Toombs, whig, was elected to the United States Senate for six years. And here the work of the Unien party ter- minated. They had vindicated the compromise measures, they had completed the bargain among themselves, and they had nothiog further to do. The Presidential election was coming on. The demoorats of the Union party abandoned the whigs to their fate, and setting themselves up as the true democracy, appointed a set of delegates to the Bal- timore Democratic Convention; but the secessionists, or the great mass of the Georgia democra’s, repu- diated the Cobb men, and sent a delegation of their own to Baltimore, and the secessionists were delibe- rately, by the convention, declared to be the legiti- mate delegates from Georgia, though the Cobb Union men were graciously allowed to mix in. Goy. Cobb, however, dd no} stomach this sort of thing. He held back in the Presideatial canvass, and his exact position was not known till the de- livery of the President's inaagural, when the Gover- | uor wrote a strong letter of approbation of that ster- ling democratic document, and also indica i petition to give a cordial supporé to the tion of Gen. Pierce. He surreadered, in ovher wor at diseretion, to the secessioni: overwhelming majority of the Geo from hav- ing been the vic! net them, he became their h : that’s the way his full Dissatisfied with the large stices fishes given to the Yan Buren free soilers and the Georgia secessionists, and especially with tue cool disregard manifested by the adainistratior claims of Gov.

GOVEBNOR STEVENS’ EXPLORING BXPEDITION. {From the Boston Post, Nov. 22.] Fort Breyton. (Upper Missouri,) Sept. 16, 1853. Since I_wrote you from Union my advance parties from the Mississippi ard the Pacific have met on the ri of the Rocky Mountains, A pass has been fou and there seems scarcely a doubt of the entire practica tility of the great Northern railroad, Our subsequent etiorts examination of th‘s pass in the mountains, and of others in the intermediate range to the Pacific, vix.: the Bitter Root snd Caccade ranges. I have long been satisfied that between the head waters of the Missouri and Columbia rivers there must be good passes, lower ano more practi- | cable than the South Pass. Our attention had especially been given to the passes from the forks of the Missouri— those from tre forks of the Mariss, and the intermediate one in which my advance parties met. Before leaving Washington it was determi to cirect the explorationa upon this pars first, and Lieut. Sexton, acon of Massachu. retts, in command of the advance party from the Pacific, had orders 10 entablish a depot at the St. Mary’s village, just west of the mcustains, and to cross ‘tains and meet me at Fort Bentov. I arrived here on ¢! firet day of this month. and not hearivg from him I se: forward 4 small party, under Lieut. Grover, to reconnoitra the pass avd ascertain whetber he had reached the St. Mary’s village. They met juSt this side of the ridge. The pass in excellence exceeds every expectation, The ascent in both directions is gentie, and it would seem that the whote range hac beensunkat this polnt for the express pur pose of allowing the passage of a railroad. According te the barometer it ia more than tyo thourand five hundred feet below the South Pass; but I would not venture to prenounce it more than one thousand feet lower until the Tesult is testec by fubsequent examinations, ‘To day the main party, under Lieut. Donelson—a son of Major Donel- son, the former editor of the Washington Union—moved forward to carefully examine thi pasr, with an experienced scientific and engineer corps. Lieut. Mullen is now exploring a pass from tee forks of the Missouri, But the pass north, leading from the forks of the Marias river to the Columbia, vill, itsrems to me, be found to be the best of the three. I bad assigned to Mr. Lander, one of the civil engi- neers, the duty of examining thia pass; but learni Lieut. Sexton that Cadot’s pass 8 excellent, ana that much work remained to be done west of the mouctains, [ determined to push my whole force through it, i to insure reaching the Pacific before the close of the sea- son. Lieut. Mullen had been despatched before Lieut. Saxton’s arrival, and the express giving information of his comivg overtock me sixty-five miles on my way from Foxt Benton to the Blackfoot camp, where I was going with Mr. Lander to procure guides, and get detailed in- formation a» to the best route through the Marisa Pass. The great difficulty in exploring the passes of the Rocky Mountains and the country west is in the immease quan- tity of timber, obstructing a view of the country and the trails pursue by the Indians. This is particularly the case with the Marias Pass,and more time would have | been aeguieed in the examinatioa than I had at my dis- sal. e mountains west of the Rocky Mountains, viz., the Bitter Root and Cascade ranges, are also densely wooded, snd snows on the Cividisg ridge occur the last of October. The Indians crors these mountains with their families ‘ll early in November, bat a proper survey ix yery difficult at a later period.’ Hence the nesessity of despatch in crossing the mountains and surveying the region west. Lieut, Saxton depicts in glowing colors the magnificent scenery, fertile valleys, beautiful rivers, and the ex:raor- Ginary forest growth, of Washington territory. Out of the very luxuriance of rature atises the principal o> struction to the exploration cf the country. Vast forasts cover the hill tops and fill the valleys, mating it dificult to make one’s way. The beautiful St. Mary’s Valley, at the western base of the Rock: Mountains, is fertile he- yord deseription, bas @ mild cilmate, snd cattle keap fat in winter ag well aa in cumamer, on its nutritious graus ‘This val'ey connects all tho passes, and is ouly five or + ney from the falls of the Missouri river.
