The Goth Tennessee Regiment was
a special favorite of General Breckin-
ridge, to whose Division the regiment
belonged, and as mark of his esteem
for and confidence in this regiment
under Col. Battle, he presented it a
handsome flag made of his wife's
wedding dress.
| Col. Battle led the gallant old 20th
at the battle of Shiloh, and was in the
thickest and hottest of. the fight, dur
ing which he had three horses shot
from under him. During the first
days fight his oldest son, William,
was killed. His second son was by
his side throughout the fight, though
yet suffering from his wounds receiv-
ed at Fishing Creek. During the
second days fight the Federals were
heavily reinforced, and the Confeder-
ates were forced to fall back. During
the first of the retreat on the evening
Of the second day Col. Battles grief
was doubled by the death of his sec
ond son, Joel a., who was killed
while the Confederates were being
withdrawn from the field at Shiloh
in the hottest part of the second days
fight.
AS the regiment came to its en-
campment, Joel A. was missing, and
upon being informed by a soldier
that the son had fallen during the re-
treat, Col. Battle returned to look fol
his missing boy and was captured by
the enemy. On the following morn
ing the body of the son was found
and buried by some of his comrades
Col. Battle was held prisoner for 6
long while, and after his exchange he
was appointed by Gov. Harris to the
position of Treasurer of the State O
Tennessee.
At the close of the war Col. Battle
returned to Nashville and engaged il
: business and labored hard to better
his condition, and restore as much az
possible his depleted fortune. HI
had sacrificed much in the cause O
the South. He had fought hard il
her battles, and two of his sons haC
fallen by his side.
In 1872 Gov. Brown appointed hin
Superintendent of the State Prison
and he occupied this position to tn,
day of his death. He died in Nash
vile on the 23d day of August, 1872
: AS his remains were taken through
, the city to their final resting plac
they were followed by the member

Col. Joel A. Battle, of the Goth Regi-
ment Tennessee Volunteers, was born
in Davidson county, Tenn, Sept. 10,
1911. His ancestors were from North
Carolina, and at the death Of his
mother he inherited considerable
landed property. Being left an or
phan at an early age, his education
was confined to the facilities of the
schools in his vicinity, at which he
acquired a limited education.
Col. Battle was married in his Goth
year to Miss Sarah Searcy, of Ruther-
ford county, who died two years af-
terward, leaving an only son. Shortly
after the death of his wife he enlisted
a company in Davidson county, and
was elected captain of the same.
With this company he served through
the Florida war.
A few years after his return home
he was married to Miss Adaline S.
Mosely, of Davidson county. After
his second marriage he resided at the
home of his ancestors and engaged in
agriculture.
In 1885 he was elected Brigadier-
General of the State militia, and in
1851 was chosen to represent David
son county in the State Legislature.
In politics Col. Battle was a Whig,
and man of great influence. He
was man of strong and unwavering
attachments faithful friend, and a
gentleman of spotless integrity and
unblemished character.
AS a soldier, he commanded the
Goth Tennessee Volunteers in the wal
between the States, and his regiment
served under Gen. Zollicoffer. His
first engagement with the enemy was
at Barboursville, KY, where he sue
ceeded in deceiving the enemy as tC
his strength. AS his regiment charg-
ed the enemy fled, under the belize
that Col. Battle had artillery.
At the battle of Fishing Creek, Col
Battle led the Goth Tennessee with
his accustomed coolness and valor
The regiment suffered severely ir
this battle. After the fall of Genera
Zollicoffer in this battle the command
devolved upon Col. Walthall, of the
18th Mississippi Regiment. The Con
federates were forced to retreat, anC
the 10th Tennessee Regiment was GU
off from the rest of the command by
a strong force Of the enemy. ThC
skill and gallantry of its commander
Col. Battle, prevented its being cap
tured. In this battle Joel A. Battle
Jr., son Of Col. Battle, was seriously
wounded.

sumed this morning. At the request Of

allow each side an extension of time in
which to close their. arguments
Humphreys, representing the Globe
Company, read an affidavit by Pres.-
dent Goodwin = of that company, in
answer to the affidavit of Mr.. Temp
kins, touching the alleged negotiations
by the Bell Company for the
purchase of Meuccis' claim. Included
in the affidavit were copies of the
correspondence occurring between K
b. Welsh, of Boston, and Meuccis' reI-
resentatives in 1888. Mr.. Humphreys
stated that Welsh was connected with
the Bell Company Mr.. Dickerson de-
MED the statement and added that
Welsh was one of the agents of the
other side. Mr.. Goodwin deposes in his
affidavits that the Bell representatives
metioned the sum of 81 900. 900. The
ecretarylinquired if the gentlemen had
any evidence that Welsh represented
the Bell Company and Mr.. Humphreys
said that they would produce evidence.
Professor Gray then read an answer
to the affidavit of Mr.. Baldwin read on
Saturday. He said it seemed proper for
HIM { Professor Cray to explain his ap-
pllcation in7 regard to his caveat.
How, in correspondence submitted by
Baldwin, he declared that he had had
the fullest confidence in his counsel's
integrity and ability, and had acted en-
tirely upon his advice in refraining from
contestlng Bells application. It appeared
now that he was mistaken. He declares
that Bells invention, as set out in his
specifications, was imperative and that
no one, in the condition of electrical
science at that day, could have made
the instrument speak.
Counsel were given ten days in which
to file briefs and the hearing adjourned.
