A Deserved Tribute to Col. Patton. The following well merited tribute to Col. D. H. Patton, unsolicited, was furnished the Goodland Herald, in 1886, when a candid ate tor State Senator, by his “old friend and comrade," Col. B. F. Scribner: New Albany Ind.,) Aug. 30, 1886. j Editor Herald: I notice in your issue of Aug. 7th last, an article concerning my old friend and comrade, Col. David H. Patton, and his candidacy for State Senator. It affords me great pie isure to thus learn that this brave end efficient soldier is appreciated by his neighbors at home. lam sure they can add to Col. Patton's good qualities as a soldier those of a modest,|educated gentleman; and while I do not know anything about his political opinions, not having the gratification of meeting him but once since the war, yet I am confident that his fellow citizens will honor themselves by placing any trust in his hands. He is one of the survivors of the famous 38th Ind. Vol., color guard at Perryville, and the only one I know of. He afterwards rose by his merits to the grades of Lieutenant, Captain, Colonel, and brigade commander. At Jonesboro he especially distinguished himself, but at Perryville he, passed through a fiery ordeal. The regiment went into this battle with 500 men, and lost 27 killed, 127 wounded, and 7 prisoners, making an aggregate of 161, over 30 per cent, of their number. Two of the wounded afterwards died of their wounds. I will here quote from my official report of the brttle of Perryville; ’ “The severity of this engagement may be appreciated by the fact that of the nine men who composed the color guard, five were killed, the color-bearer was wounded in two places, two had their clothes penetrated by bullets, leaving only one of them unscathed. The flag was riddled almost into shreds, the top of the staff was shot away, two bullets struck the staff, causing it to break after thejbattle at these places. ’ in your article above referred to you suggest that the flag be sent for the inspection of the old soldiers and their friends. I will therefore send it. so that all may see for themselves the dangers Col. Patton has escaped from. The old flag has been quilted upon a white backgroundwhich is just its original size, therefore the white exposed to view shows the missing parts of the flag. In conclusion, I will add that I consider it a privilege to be permitted to add my testimony to yours concerning this faithful soldier and honest man. B. F. SCRIBNER, Late Col. 38th Ind. Vet. Vols., and Commander of Brigade in Ist Div, 14th A. C. Army of the Cumberland. Now bring on the testimony of those with whom Billy Owens has stood shoulder to shoulder with reference to his courage and patriotism. The only thing we can get from them is from press reports, which indicate that Billy thought ho saw a chance for speculation, gave his notes for the privilege, courage oozes out, refuses to pay, and that they are compelled to bring suit demanding ten or twelve thousand dollars. —— . -*»- A full line of all wool double width cloth Dress Goods, from 25 cents to $1.45 yer yard.
