THE POLICY OF PRESIDENT JOHNSTON.

AT meeting of the citizens of Iowa, held in
Washington on the day of President Lincoln IS
death, Governor Stone said he had Just had a
long conversation with President johnson in re-
gard to his policy as Chief Magistrate, and in
that conversation President johnson said that
while he would deal kindly and leniently with
the mass of the people of the South, and the
rank and file of their armies; regarding them
as he did, merely as the victims and sufferers of
rebellion; he nevertheless would be careful
not to pursue any policy which would prevent
the Government from visiting punishment ON
the guilty, as the cause of the rebellion.
The President regarded as due to the loyal
people of the country, and to the thousands Of
brave men who had fallen in the defense of the
Union during this struggle, and to the claims of
justice and freedom throughout the world, that
treason should still be regarded as the highest
crime under our Constitution and flag, and that
treason should be rendered infamous for all time
to come.
While he entertained these views he should
endesyor 10 gain the confidence of the deceived
and betrayed masses of the Southern people re-
garding them as the proper material for recon-
structing the insurgent States, and to restore
them to their proper relations to the Govern
ment. He would neither recognize nor hold of
fetal communication with those who had occu-
pied official stations or acknowledged the SOW
ereignty of the rebel Government. For four
years he had fought the rebel Government with
all the energy of his character.

RAISING THE OLD FLAG ON sun.


New York, April l7-The United States
steamer Vanderbilt has arrived.
Charleston, March 15.-The news of the sur
render of Lee caused the liveliest demonstra-
tiOns of Joy.
The great event of raising the ''old flag" on
Sumter attracted large numbers of visitors to
Charleston. Long before ten 0 clock the streets
and wharves were thronged with people. The
negroes turned out by thousands, and white cit
izens were largely in attendance. All the ves-
sells were decked with colors and salutes fired
at eight in honor of the capitulation. The mon
itors had never been up to the city before, and
the curiosity to see them was great. The whole
forenoon was occupied in transporting the im-
mense number of visitors TO Fort Sumter.
Marines and sailors, and the survivors of the
assault on Fort Sumter, with the 127th New
York and the 35th Massachusetts, volunteers,
were drawn up ON the levee at the landing TO
receive visitors. s
Some time passed in examining the fort be-
fore the ceremonies commenced. Three to four
thousand persons we're present including about
five hundred of the old citizens of Charleston.
Generals Gilmore and Anderson arrived at
noon. The latter's eyes filled with tears of Joy
as he glanced at the flagstaff where he was to
hoist the stars and stripes. Beecher arrived at
half-past twelve.
The ceremonies commenced by cheers and a
song entitled "Victory at last. /" Prayer by the
venerable Rev. Harris, chaplain in the army,
the same who offered prayer when Major Ander-
son removed his command TO Sumter, on De-
cember 9th, 1860 Then followed the reading
of psalm by the Rev. DIR. Storrs and the peO-
pie alternately. Major Anderson's dispatches,
announcing the fall of Sumter, sent by General
Townsend, were read. The flag was then rails
ed by General Anderson, after some remarks
suitable to the occasion. Tumultuous shouts
welcomed the throwing of the flag to the breeze.
A salute of one hundred guns from Sumter, and
a national salute from the fleet and other forts
in the harbor followed. The singing of the
Star Spangled Banner ensued, the whole audi
ence joining. Mr. Beecher delivered an elo-
ouent address.
