Who CAPTURED It3

LAGRANGE. Tenn, Nov. 26, 1854
Editors Chicago Tribune:
Believing it is your wish to do Justice to all,
We would ask you to do US the favor OF Insert
ing the following in your valuable paper.
In your Issue Of the 21st inst. appears IN
article, headed Flag Presentation to the City
By Bottoms Battery" Now for the facts, IS
regards the rightful owners, or capturs7s, Of
said flag, in which shan be as concise as pos
sible- Atthe eyer-memorable battle Of Hatchie,
or "Matamora," q member Of my company
| {E), Corporal Reaughr, being in rear Of the
| regiment, IS We advanced towards the hill,
ION which, and beyond which, the battery was
that Captain Bolton claims to have captured
knapsack lying on the ground, which he open
cd and upon examining the contents. found
inside one ly Of q pair Of dra,ucrs, flag, On
which Was inscribed "Clark County Farmers"
! This flag he handed to Lieut.. J. P. Campbell,
by whom it WAS retained until ne reached
| on an order from Major General Hurlbut. It
had not been unturled that day, Until mE boys
spread it to the breeze; and the fact Of Its
| being found between the battery aud the
river, exactly the opposite direction from the
way the enemy fled when they left the bat
tery, and the fact Of its being found In a KNAPP
sack, Is conclusive evidence that Bolton does
not deserve the honor, If there was any, Of
/ taking that flag
When the order came for the flag, it WAS
represented that it was only wanted in order
that all the flags taken might be noted,
| never once dreaming that any one would dis
| putc onr right to the worthless rag. What
was our surprise when We heard that it had
been presented to Co. L, Bottoms Battery,
and by them presented to the city Of Chicago!
I hare no objections to Bottoms Battery be-
ing considered q good battery, which opinion
it merits; but when Cspt Bolton brings back
that flag, that he must know that he has no
right to, and delivers 1t to Co. E, 32d Regi-
ment Illinois Infantry, will consider him a
captain worthy Of commanding Co. L.
We are willing and would be pleased for
| The City Council Of Chicago to spread On their
recbrds lhe reports Of Gems. Hurlbut, Veatch,
or any other General; but Us to the flag in
question, We hope they will wait until Bolton
shows that he captured it, before they give
him or his Battery that credit
shall send Communication to Maj. Gen,
Hur1but, requesting an Investigation Of OH
| rights, which We can sustain by the testimony
| ii large number of witnesses, among whom
appear The field and staff officers Of this regi

Hoping you will do US justice By inserting
