Flag Raising and Annual Camp Fire in New York. 

New York, April 14. –The 30th anniversary of the official re-raising of the national flag on Fort Sumter was celebrated by the hoisting ot the flag at the battery at sunrise this morning by the Anderson Zouaves, 62d regiment New York volunteers, and Anderson-Williams post 394, G.A.R. The flag used on this occasion was made a present many years ago by the widow of Maj. Gen, Robert Anderson to the Anderson Zouaves, to be expressly used for this purpose, and has been raised on Sumter day by the Zouaves for the last six years.

The day will be further celebrated by the annual camp fire and entertainment of the Anderson battalion this evening.
