 History of Fort Sumter Flag.
 Reference was made a few days ago to a Fort Sumter flag which it was expected the veterans would carry in the procession on the Fourth. The history of this flag is briefly as fol- lows: It was the ensign of the Steamer W. W. Colt. Gen. Gilmore's staff boat. which was the first to run up Charleston harbor after the rebels had abandoned the fort. Possession was at once taken of Fort Sumter and this flag was hauled down from the steamer to be hoisted over the abandoned work. Capt. W. W. Colt of this city, owner of the steamer, had the flag carefully preserved as an honor of the times of the great rebel lion.
