The Meeting To.morrow.

AS per notice, there will be meeting
OF the citizens Of Fairfield District, in
Winnsboro, tomorrow, "wednesday J
Tor the purpose of restoring the civil
government of the State of South Caro-.
lima. We hope every One who isaawwarrse
OF the contemplated meeting will make
1t his business to attend, and to inform
his neighbors and friends of the fact, so
that we may have a turn out en- masse,
of the citizens of our District.
A'word or two upon this subject may
not be out of place. All will admit thas
the principle for which, the late civil war
was wagcd, has faded, and that we have
gone under; and it behooves us, as a
great and good people, without one feel
ing of resentment at Our condi,ioI, past
or present. to cast about and see upon
what footing the best plan for the resto-
ration Of our civil government, and our
political rights, can be guaranteed unto
us.
AS citizen of the State of South
Carolina, as citizen of the. United States
of America,-as one loving peace and
harmony in our State. and wishing her
to enjoy all the benefits and immunities
accruing from an association of confcde.
rated States, we believe the object of the
meeting, the restoration of the civil
government Of the State of South Caro-.
lina,--is one full of interest to every
Carolinian; and we therefore again OK.
press the opinion that every one of our
citizens should be present. and lend his
ard and council in restoring to her origi.
nal status our State.
The meeting, we believe, to be right
and proper Who of us that wishes to
live under military rule ? And until
the voice of tho people of South Caro-.
lima is heard, from every nook and cor.
ner of the State by meetings Of the
kind,-the military will predominate, and
civil law and political right will not be
enjoyed. Therefore. let every one of
our citizens who have had a notice of
the meeting, represent and take part in
the restoration of our civil Government.

"I'M YOUNG GIRL FROM THE COUNT n,
AND You CAN'T GET OVER NE -.

"I'M A YOUNG GIRL FROM THE COUNT ny,
AND You CAN'T GET OVER Me-
A country girl once came to town,
The wondrous sig ghts to see,
And thought that she would play coquette,
Wherever she might be,
Says she, III tease these city chaps
With graces lis hit and free,
" I'm young girl from the country,
But they can't get over me. -
Full soon the lovers came around,
But she selected three,
One was gallant soldier boy,
Another loved the sea;
The other plain citizen;
Says she, III fool all three,
I'm young girl from the country,
But you can't get over me-
The gallant soldier first proposed,
In language bold and free,
And says, 81 know she will accept;
She's very proud Of me-
She looked Into his crying eyes,
Aud sung with voice Of glee,
"I'm young girl from the country,
And you can't get over me. -
The sailor next put on his best,
And swung himself to lee,
And thought he'd anchor out for life,
When she his mate should he.
He popped the question, but she smiled,
With shaking head, says she,
"Im young girl from the cOuntry.
But you can't get over me. ~
The citizen was more acute,
Before he reached her door,
He bought himself u splendid suit
At the Peoples Clothing Store.
He came, he saw, he conquered, too,
And then proposed. Says she,
"I'm young girl from the country,
But You are the boylor me, -
For you buy your clothes at J. II. Smith Is, tn
