MoWillie says: '-There is, according to rny experience, nothing easier than to avoid the skipper and all worms and tugs that usually infest and destroy bacon. It is simply to keep jour eaioko house, dark, and the moth that de posits the egg will never cuter it. For the past twouty-5ve years I have atten ded to this and never have had my ba con troubled with any insect. I have now hanging in ray sinoke bouse, bams one, two and three years old, aud the. oldct arc as free from insects as when first bun,; up. I am not aware of other causes for the exception of my bacon from insect-, but simply the fact that my smoke house is always dark Before adopting this plan I had tried many experiment-, but always cither without success or with iojury to the flavor of my t aeon. I hiiioke with green hickory; this is impor tant, a the tlnvor of bacon is often utter ly destroyed by smoking it with improp er wood." Plaster for Potatoes.

Ouc of the greatest cu riosities is the pegj:iug machine, which in berts the awl, cut out tho pegs from a strip ofood, aud d lives them in, all at one operation, and so rapidly that it will peg two rows arounJ the sole of a shoe in twenty seconds.

So far from its being a fact that the north does not n.cd or desiro for its industry the protective policy, the dominant party attained its power be-lu-c it proclaimed itself the ehampion of protection. It is well known that the t.reat commonwealth of Pennsylvania, aud her gallant little sister, New Jersey, sup portca Mr. Linco'u not for the bake of the negro, but for the sake of tho tariff. It is also well known that throughout all tho manufacturing States Mr. Lincoln had numerous supporters, without whoso votes he never could have beeu elected tariff men, rallying to his support to se cure the triumph of the protective policy : rather than from any hostility to tbe iu- titution of the south, except in so far as , Jn.r.tn,:on ha, b,,en mado thc occa sion of hostility to the protective policy.

T vtcsw it is oasv to understand j ud lbo;(C wbo sUpp0se this mighty but unfortunate struggle to have originated in any dislike on the part of the northern people towards those of tho south, or in should inaugurate aud carry forward a desperate and protracted struggle, and no less dangerous than desperate, and which might issifo iu the destrtiesidn of all their best interests. No'! No! Thisstrugglo is related to great materia! interests, and not to mere moral or religious ideas and antipathies. Tho triumph of tho protec tive polioy, a necessity to tho develop ment and progress of northern iduatry, U thc grand object of thc struggle. Tho second objection which has met me is that the "south will not concede to thc north tho protective system, nor tho north to the south the security of its in dustrial system. My reply is, 1st. That the north and the south, when they come lay asido the tho passions of the moment, and give themselves to calm reflection, will be just to each other; and happily the solution of all our difficulties requires nothing more nothing less, than thi. It is thc obvious duty of every govern ment so to direct its policy a? to secure and develop tho great leading interests of its people; aud any government which fails in this, fails to accomplish the ends for which it was instituted. Ocnco it follows that our government, in order to perform its just functions, must adminis ter to thc needs of both of these great in dustries thc northern and the southern, fror the south to practically deny this, iu refusing to permit thc government to ad minister a policy which norlhorn industry essentially needs; and for tho north to. deny it, in refusing to tho south equal rights in the Union and the security of its industry, arc each equally uujust, and in violation of thc priujiple which should animate a people bound together in one commou aud glorious nationality. 2d Because the south is reviewing her opiuious respecting the tariff, and is com ing to perceive her true relations to it to understand, as I have shown in anoth er part of this letter, that she ows it to herself to stand by thc manufacturing in tercats of the country, lest otherwise she be gradually driveu to cease producing cotto'n, for want of a market iu which to sell at remunerative prices. Not only this, but tbe ground upon which the south has ever resisted the tar iff that under it she equally bears its burdeu with thc north, while ehe reaps none of its advantages is a fallacy which the south is coming to appreciate. It is begining to perceive, 1st, that this is tbe cheapest method for the south in respect of its contributions to tho necessary rev enues for carrying ou the government For it i- well known that tbe small farm ers, tbe mechanicrt, the tradesmen, the salary men, &e., at the north consume, on an average, about an equal quantity of duty paying gooda as are couumed by southern planters. The former are large in numbers, but small in estate; while thc latter are larc in estate, but compara tively small in numbers UnJcr the tar iff system, the people contribute to the revenue in proportion to numbers;. but under tho fyst-m of direct taxation for raising revenue (thc result of free trade) they contribute iu proportion to estate It mut bo clear, thut as, upou an average, the estates at the south arc much larger than at the north, the south will find it self paying many times more for revenue purposes, under the free trade system thau under that of the tariff. If the southern States would become really great and powerful commonwealths, it is entirely within their power to do so not out of tbe Union, but in it not by diffusion over an immense tract of coun try, enlarging its area by acquisitions, but by tusiting population and wealth not by a system of agriculture which, by exhausting plantation after plantation, desolates the fairest and most fertile por tion of God's earth, but by a system which improves every cultivated aero -with every year. Its whole agricultural policy must bo reversed ; improvement must take tho placo of exhaustion; coo-' ccntration the place of diffusion; popula tion tbe placo of depopulation; and then the glorious tbo gallant, the chivalrous south wili increase in wealth aud power with every coding year. Let us assume that thc south had. giv en up the idea of cxtcusion of territory and diffusion of population, aud in its stead accepted that of concentration; that it had repudiated tho agricultural poliey of exhausting one plantation aud th6n o pening a new one, in its turn to bo worn out in a few years, and abandoued, for that of enriching aud improving tho soil; instead of devoting itself exclusively to agricu'turo, iuvito manufactures, aud di versify its employment then how chan ged, as if by magio, would become thc as pect of tho south bow rapidly it would spring forward ou tho road to prosperity and power. , England, not so well adapted by na ture as the south to the support of popu lation now sustains a population of to the square mile With a like ratio of population the south can sustain i jj.uuu, (JOO souls.
