The correctly punctuated sentence is:

"After driving all day and night, we finally reached our destination, and we happily went to sleep."

The other sentences contain punctuation issues. For instance, the first sentence is a run-on sentence lacking proper punctuation before "but," and the last sentence incorrectly punctuates the phrase involving "eight new students."
