There was no organised general celebrations of the day and no parade of any magnitude. The incident of greatest interest in the lower part of the city was the raising of the Stars and Stripes at sunrise at the Battery by the Anderson Zouaves, Capt. Morse, and Anderson Williams Post, G.A.R., Adjt. Hendrickson. These two bodies formed at Military Hall, in the Bowery, before daylight, and, headed by the Sixty-ninth Regiment band, marched to the Battery, where they drew up in company front on opposite sides of the pole. The band played “America” and “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and then two Sergeants, one from each company, drew to the top of the pole a new flag, bought for the occasion by the men engaged in the raising. The band played “The Red, White and Blue,” and Judge Kemple of Virginia made an address.
