group, led by a color, steadily made its way up. These colors were often shot down — those of the First Ohio six times — but they were at once seized and borne along. But the Nationals did not waver for a moment. They pressed on, and Lieutenant-Colonel Langdon, of the First Ohio, with a group of men of his own regiment and several others, who were foremost in the chase, sprang forward and made the first lodgment on the hill-top, within five hundred yards of Bragg's Headquarters, with shouts that were repeated by thousands of voices. Lieutenant-Colonel Langdon received a shot through his face and neck at the moment when he reached the hill-top, which felled him to the ground. He at once rose, the blood streaming from his wounds, and shouting Forward! again fell. His hurt, though severe, was not mortal. This gap in the Confederate line speedily widened as the assailants pressed up, and it was not long before the entire battle-line of the Missionaries' Ridge was in possession of

At eight o'clock, General Weitzel and staff rode in, at the head of Ripley's brigade of negro troops, who had the honor of first entering the late Confederate capital, These troops were received with demonstrations of great joy by the negro population. when Lieutenant De Peyster, ascended to the roof of the Virginia State-House, in which the Confederate. Congress had so lately held its sessions, and, assisted by Captain Langdon, Weitzel's chief of artillery, hoisted over it the grand old flag of the Republic. The flag used on that occasion was a storm-flag, which General Shepley had brought from Norfolk. It had formerly belonged to the Twelfth Maine Volunteers, of which he had originally been colonel. It had floated over the St. Charles Hotel, in New Orleans, when General Butler made that house his Headquarters. Shepley had made the remark, one day, in the hearing of young De Peyster, that it would do to
