State, If inferior to the general government, is
superior to the church, as Harriet Roane, a

went to Shiloh Church, and while enjoying the
envy which her gorgeous apparel excited
among the sable bellies there coogregated, was

COL. OLIVER A. PATTON.
How Former NaShViIIeRn Married n
Cousin OF Gen. Grant without Know
ing II

NOW ~ oEDAGE
Cousin OF Gen. Grant without Know
ing IL.
Sunday last we alluded to Col. Oliver
A. Patton, ex-COnfederate, who settled
among US Just after the war, practicing
law, and also, in partnership with his
father, conducting a commission business
on South Market street for & couple Of
wears, after which he moved TO Louisville
and subsequentlySmarried a West Virginia
heiress, whose family name we did not
mention. A correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, however, completely
identifies the former lawyer and merchant
of Nashville with the Col. Oliver \. Pat
ton recently appointed Register of the
Land Office at Salt Lake, and also settles
how be became one Of Grants numerous
relatives. This correspondent writing from
Charleston, West Virginia, says Col. Pat
ton married the sister Of G. &. TOmpkins
of that place, who is an own first cousin of
the President and, having been duly ap-
pointed in consequence Marshal Of the
Territory of Colorado, may loom up as a
senatorial aspirant when it comes to Or
ganizing q State under the bill passed by
the last Congress.
This fresh vein Of Presidential cousins
and cousins-in-law, in West Virginia, from
which to supply the country with office
holders, seems to be a very recent discO7-
cry, and Col. Patton may have married
into the reigning family without knowing
it. While sojomning in our city he was
accepted and treated as an ex-COnfederate
Colonel Of unquestiOned record, and he
claimed tie credit of taking out the first
Kentucky regiment that Joined the South
ern forces. Some ghOul Of the Kansas
Times, however, gives the fOlloWingversiOn
Of his military exploits:
ale left Kentucky in 1862 to Join the
rebel army, but never joined it. He got
his friends at home into numerous difficult
ties by making them long visits under pre-
tence of recruiting for the rebel army, but
he never got any reCTOits. At last he was
picked up by a Federal scouting party, and
ianguished for time on Government I'd
tiOns as a prisoner Of war. This was the
only service he ever performed as a rebel
soldier, and he thought it entitled him TO
be exchanged IS q Lieutenant Colonel.
His succass.in getting himself exchanged
on those terms involved him in difficulties
with the Confederate authorities, and dur
Ing the last two years Of the war he lodged
about between the cOntending hosts, avoid
ing both and living upon rebel sympaLhiz-
ers as an escaped prisoner trying TO make
his way back to his regiment. He kept this
I'D until his name became terror to owners
of hOrsehesh. The close of the war found
! him in Flemingsburg Jail, with about six
| teen indictments for horse stealing hang
/ ing over him. Saved from the Peniten-
tiary by Executive clemency, he emigrated
| to West Virginia, and there he is singled
out by President Grant as worthy of still
J further Executive favor.n
