A HINT TO THE SoUTH.-We copy an account of the transfer of a woolen es- tablishment from Englaud to New York. Why cannotwe persuade few English cotton manufacturers to move their looms and spindles over here l? They will get rid of the import duties and get back the three cent tax in a drawback. They can bring the labor in part, and we can furnish the rcmain- der. Let our Legislatures open the proposal to them:
 TRANSFER OF A WooLEN EsTABLIsH- MENT FROM SCOTLAND TO BUFFALo- Some time since we noticed the faet that a wealthy British wooden manufac- turer, removing his establishment to this country, had determined upon it's location in Buffalo, as the most advan- tageous point for carrying on the large manufacture which he contemplates We are now able to state that all ar engagements are concluded, and that the gentleman in question, 8lr. McAIillan who is q ScotcllInan, of large capital and experience in the business, has now returned to New Y ork to bring on the machinery which he hadlef in that city while selecting the location for his fac tory It is his purpose to establish the general manufacture of woolen goods here upon an extensive scale, making q speciality for the present of plaid goods and Balmoral skirts.-Buflalo Express.

No Union Desired by the North.

Does the North desire in earnest to be united to the South? We question it, and we have reason to do so, from the continued denunciation of the Southern people which is heard at every Radical meeting, and by the exhibition on banners at political meetings of the most offensive and libelous epithets which can de Conceived by the demon of hate and discord. Witness such as the following, which was conspicuously displayed at a Radical meeting in New York, on Monday night last:
 ..... ...............s-.4-.
 Our Murdered Dead Castle Thunder
 Belle Island Andersonyille
 ........,......... ............-.. -......,1.
 Does not the North well known that the South can more than offset this by referring to Johnson's Island, Camp Douglass, Point Lookout, Ship Island, Fort Delaware and Rock Island Both sides can refer to its murdered dead and official documents prove on which side most murders were wantouly com mitted.
 Tf.the North desire Union with the South on any terms or conditions, what does it hope or expect to gain in that direction by it's persistent denun- citation of alleged crimes which it is more guilty of committing than those whom it denounces? We never see banners at Radical meeting, display ing sentiments which invite union. har- mony and good feelings with the South.
 On the contrary, it is the same now as it alway has been since Radicalism con- ceived the idea that the Union was a league with hell. This is just what the Radicals believe to-day, as they have ever done 1; and it is upon this idea all their actions towards the South are St.Louis Times.
