aucuiuuagoi Fort Sumter was raised over 
that fortress on the 14th, just four years after 
it had been lowered by Gen. Anderson. The 
proceedings are represented as very interesting. 
We can give but a summary of the event! 
Gen. Anderson, previous to the raising of the 
flag, spoke as follows: 
Friends and fellow citizens and brother eol- 
diers:—By the considerate appointment of the 
Hon. Secretary ol Aar, I am here to fulfil 
the cherished wish of my heart through four 
°- Dg 1 y ' ia ^ f M t0 rc6tore to its proper

day, and to be here to perform this duty to mv

^iwl iven } 1 , 8 blessings beyond measure. May 
President pro tempore. 
In case of the death of the Vice-President, the 
[ law of 1792 provides for a new election for Presi¬ 
dent and Vice-President as follows: 
Sec 10. And be it further enacted That, when- 
of Resident, and Vice-President 
shall both become vacant, tbc Secretary of State 
shall forthwith cause a notification thereof to be 
made to the Executive of every State, and shall 
ah o cause ihe same to be published jn at least 
one of the newspapers printed in each State 
specifying that Electors of the President of the 
united States shall lie appointed or chosen in 
the several States within thirty-four days ore- 
cedmg the first Wednesday in Dpcember then 
next ensuing: Providing, There shall be the 
space of two months between the date of such 
notification and the said first Wednesday in De¬ 
cember; but. if there shall not be the space of two 
* b<! ^ e r e « lht ; date of such notification 
and the first Wednesday in December, and if the 
term tar *Inch the President and Vice-Prchd.-nt 
aat in office were elect ed shall not expire on the 
thud day oi March next enduing, then tb« Secre- 
tary of Slate shall specify In the notification that. 
! m Electors shall be appointed or chosen within 
thirty-four days preceding the first Wednesday 
m December in the year next ensuing, within 
winch time the Electors shall accordingly be un¬ 
pointed or chosen; and the Electors shall meet 
and give their votes on the said first Wednesday 
iu December, and the proceedings and duties of 1 
the said Electors and others shall be pursuant to < 
the directions prescribed in tins act. • 
By this section it will be seen That In case of a 5 
new election occurring during any portion of I 
the current Presidential term, save the last por- £ 
tion of its last year, the length of such term 1 
will be cut short one or more years. Thus, in 1 
case of Mr. Johnson’s death at anytime prior to 7 
two months before the first Wednesday of De- c 
comber next, the next Presidential term would 
begin on the 4th of March, 1866. The new 0

mendous shout. It was an inspiring moment 
grand and sublime, never to be experienced 
again. 
Our flag was there, its crimson folds regen¬ 
erated and baptised anew in the fires of liberty 
Gen. Anderson could, with difficulty, restrain 
his emotion, and whilst some shouted them¬ 
selves hoarse, others embraced like children. 
When the flag reached its height, with a wreath 
of roses, the vast multitude continued for some 
moments to gaze at its fluttering folds. The 
cheers had not subsided when the salute of 
100 guns from Sumter and the National salute 
from the fleet, forte Moultrie and Battery Bee 
on Sullivan s Hland, and fort Putnam on John¬ 
son’s Island, and fort Johnson on James’ Island 
places conspicuous in the inauguration of the 
rebellion and eminently appropriate to take 
part, not less prominent in this National 
rejoicing over the restoration of National au¬ 
thority. 
National airs were also played by the band 
which was followed by singing the “Star Span¬ 
gled Banner, the whole audience joining and 
producing an effect truly thrilling.
