The thanks of the South are due to Gov. Branch, for the prompt attention, and for the liberality, which he has display ed towards subjects of deep interest to the growers of cotton especially, anil to the country at large. They are equally due to <icn. Williams for the enterprise, perse verance, industr), and public spirit with which he has attempted to revive in some degree the drooping energies of his State, which ought to unite the common exertions ?df ever)* citltcn. The following remarks accompanied the' documents which wc add below. Altho', perhaps, intended only for our own eye, they are well worth the serious attention of the public; "It appear* to toe there h too much apathy among the cotton-growers general ly, In relation to the consumption of arti 'j<-9 made of that material.

In the ?;afty part ol my life X had tome intercourse i with ships, sailors, and rope-makers, and if I have not wholly forgotten every thing in i relation to them, there are only a very few | purposes to which hemp cordage is applied "n which it may not be advantageously sn pcrcecded by that of cotton.

Tho next session of the Congrcva of the United States, in preparing a conflict on two great political questions cither of which may prove fatal to the preaent union of tlie states. The Tariff question alone, erhapa would not involve so suddenly the entire break of which tho agitation of tho other question ought to produce, and will. If the discussion ot tlie acquisition of Tcxae brings on tho agitation of the slave question, as we are sure that it will, a rtpture with the northern states will become almost inevi table.

We do not insert the reply, because, tho' able, it is sonuwhat too extended for our columns, and becausc we deem any defence of Dr. Cooper's political career very unnecessary. At any late a few wotds will infllce. These we add, only because the subject has been thus brought to our view.

Diebitsch, with a joint representation of the Ambas sadora to the Russian General, pledging themselves for the pacific disposition ortho Sultan, and urging the neceaaity of an im mediate suspension of hoatiliticH. Tho Pleni|K>tentiariea and M. do Kuster reached Adrianople on the 27th of August, snd on the 29th General Diebitsch gave or ders for n cessation of hoetitities on the whole line of tho Russian operations.?The preliminaries of peaoo had not been signed but both parties wore perfectly satisfied with tho dispoaition manifested on either side, and little doubt waa entertained that the tcrrae would be settled in ? few day* It is true that this news to not offlctal from Constantinople, any farther than could have I wen communicated by Sir R. Gor don in his despatches of the 24th of August. And it appears by tho Morning Chronicle of the 23d of September, that despatches were the day previously received In Lon don, from Sir R. Gordon, dated August 20th, which added nothing to the impor tant facts respocting the opening of ncgo ciations. and the cessation of hostilities be tween tho belligerents. Noither did they mention, says the Chronicle, the report, that a Russian corns had occupied Rodostor although, if Gen. Roth had been despatch from Adrianople, on the 21st, for that pur pose, the intelligence of the event must nave reached Constantinople by the 26th. Other reports, varying, though not cssen tially?contradicting the preceding state nfbntH from the Courier, are, that Gen. Di ebitsch I tad left Adrianople on the 28th of August, to advance upon the Turkish cap ital; and a Frankfort paper of the mh September state*, on the authority of a let ter from Vienna, oftht 1Mb, that the armiy Uoe wae concludcd on the 90th of Auguet in the camp of the Piwin Qsoeial before Couktantinople. It ie remarkable that the Prussian State Gazette of September 10th is wholjr silent upon the subject. 80 says the London Atlas of the ?7th of September. Still, the main fifct that, through the inter vention of the European Ministers at Con stantinoplo, an armistice has been arran ged, is derived through no many channel?, that it is not to bo questioned. At to tha terms, however, upon whioh the peace in to be negotiated, nothing certain is known* Cut lut Sultan having been eo anvkxitf lor peace as to have left the conditions en tirely to the Emperor of Ruseia, we may infer that the latter has lost no advantage* which he could obtain withoutexdtfajl un pleasant jealousies on the pert of hie Euro pean Allies, with whom we have never entertained a doubt, he has from the begin ing been disponed to maintain the most per fect good faith. A Berlin paper of the IotT. September expresses Its disappointment at not finding in the State Gacetteof that morning something of the news brought by the Courier from Constantinople; nut adds, a reason for this silence, that the dia BMtchcfl have probably been eent to his ?ajesty who in absent from the capital. Meantime the Hamburgh* papers, of tho 18th September, give ae the most impor tant rumor which followed the arrival of the Courier in Berlin, that the preliminaries of the peace had been definitively conchi- | ded, upon the following ta "l.
