The Columbia Stn tc gives warning of an approaching scarcity ol'corn and calls upon fanners thus carly to make, opt hoir minds toplunta heavy crop this year. Various causea are conspir ing; to bring about the predial ml scarc ity. The lust crop fell short of what was expected, a greater quantity than ever before is being ftnl to hogs, but, more than all, the European demand is increasing at a rate beyond all prece* dent and expectation. Fanners should make a note nf these conditions, and let corn have a large place in thc plans they are now laying for another year. -- <? o ? A Confederate Veteran Camp in New Vork has adopted the following reso lution, which, we believe, expresses the teal ami lin ti nt sentiment of the South: '.Resolved, That t In-Con feder ate Veteran Camp ..t New Vork con demns in uninea>ureil let ins the efforts ofSenatm Ruthi, .il North Carolina, (who is not a Confederate veteran) to debauch the uiauhouil ul the South In seeking to obtain pensions fur ex-Con federate soldiers fluni the United States, ami that uni similar effort In any Southern mem bei nf Congress will be abhorrent to the camp and meet with unqualified condemnation." -i . ? A great ninny would-be funny para graphers usually bave much to say o'a ?ut new year resolutions, and tho folly of making them, when such a 1 irge per cent are broken before their swaddling clothes nrc discarded-all of which is entirely wrong and calculated t ? binder many a poor fellow from at 1 'ant milking an honest, earnest effort tn mend bis ways, lu our humble judgment it is better to resolve to do better and fail, than it itt to fail to make the resolution, lt nt least shows the desire to leave off some bad habit, or tako up some laudable work, cou pled with a determination, however ivonk or strong ii may be, to execute t'ie desire. The value of a new year r?solution, of coin se, depends upon the Tv'.ll-powcr of I be maker, und wi' must aimil that a good n solution, based on a wonk will-power, and opposed by p evious perverse habits, ta a rather shaky guarantee of future rectitude.
