He was elected by a decisive majority, including every Union member, so that the triumph is not a Republican triumph, but one of a higher ond broader nature. Mr. Colfax is in every way qualified for an office so responsible. He has been a Representative of the Ninth Indiana Congressional district for eight years, and adds to thorough knowledge of parliamentary business the indispensable qualities of strict integrity, firmness, impartiality, and courtesy.

The morning dawns beautifully, j w and there lies our iroops, silent and coni-paritively self-conscious of safety. Gen.

D, the latter having mounted the enemy’s breast work, sword in band and demanded a surrender in the face ofpublic business, and protect the dignity and order of the House. But, independently of this special fitness for the high position which the Union members have unanimously given him, Mr. Colfax has, by a loyal and active course, well earned the confidence of the country. Born inNew York city in March, 1823, he became a printer when a boy, and always studying and improving, removed to Indiana in 1836, and there established tbe South Bend Register, a journal which he still controls. More than half of his life has been spent in public service, and few men have served so faithfully and well.The 11th corps filed away to ihe left and in the reserve of our corps last evening; but the 12th corps is not here Well, let us presume that Gen.

He has won the undying regard of all who know him, as he is a brave heroic spirit, a prompt and efficient surgeon.Col. \V. W.

During Ihe storming of the Ridge, and whilst nearing its top, he was successively wounded in three or four I places, and w as unhorsed. A soldier of the 5th Kentucky, noting the situation of his brave end dauntless leader, called to some of his comrades to assist in bearingthe Colonel to 1 he foot of the hill. “Carry me up, boys if you carry me any place! ’ exclaimed the model hero, smarting with the pain of several severe wounds.

The 1st brigade of this division (Gen. Willich commanding) formed on our left. Gen.Sheridan’s troops fought on out tight. Tht; position assumed was fraught with great danger; but the men fell in with an alacrity ■worthy of emulation. No question was asked—no conjecture made—but every heart seemed pulsing for action. And soon it came. Gen. Willich, who seemed full of fight, opened the ball, when the skirmish soon became general along the line. Ourregiment was exposed to a murderous crossfire of musketry for a brief interval; and the 93d Ohio, which was on our right, and more closely pressing the enemy, suffered severely. However, in less than an hour we had succeeded in driving the enemy’s pickets, and in taking his first line of rifle-pits. During all this time a heavy skirmish fire was kept up on both sides; but the shells and solid shot thrown at intervals from Forts Wood and Negley served to cover our advance. The rebel batteries on Mission Ridge did not open upon our men until they had taken the first line of rifle-pits, which brought them within range of their guns. It was now about 2% o’clock, P. M.f and the reserve lines coming up adesperate and bloody conflict ensued for a brief period. Some of the rebels fought desperately, and others did not seem disposed to fight at all. We took 138 prisoners in one squad, and our brigade look 400 in all. Most of the prisoners were Alabamians, and they yielded without reluctance, some of them throwing down their arms, yelling, and throwing up their hats, whilst others fell flat on the ground to avoid the fire of our approaching men. Firing on both sides ceased about dusk, our men remaining victors of the field. They immediately went to work throwing up a rude breastwork, composed of logs and rocks, lor a tem/wrry shelter. In this skirmish, which was only intended as a reconnois-sance and to cover the landing ot Gen. Sherman but which subsequently terminated in a glorious triumph, as you will Jearn our regii?ient bad fifteen men wounded.

Our line extends from what we term the northwest extremity, near ibis foot of T.nokoui, running in the direction above described, until it nears the river on the northeast, consequently being subjected to an enfilading fire whilst advancing. The view is not clear, there being a piece of low timber partially intervening.

I)o you observe that stand of colors flaunting in the breeze, and do you see those minature looking masses immediately opposite, bearing on their shouldiers objects that glisten in the sun’s rays?
