Death of Colonel Patton.
--A letter in the Norfolk (Va.) Regime, speaking of the death of Colonel Patton, (late of Richmond,) after the battle of Fisher's Hill, says:‘ "He was mortally wounded in the fight on Monday, and carried to Mr. Williams's house, in this town, from whence he will be buried some time to-day.--General Early sent a flag of truce to General Sheridan to inquire respecting him. Believing that he was mortally wounded and not likely to recover, he requested that he might be buried in such a manner that a citizen designated in his communication would be able to identify his remains, at the same time requesting such information concerning his condition as General Sheridan might find it convenient to communicate. In accordance with instructions from General Sheridan, Colonel Edwards has forwarded all the facts in the case, which will doubtless be conveyed to Early in due season by flag of truce."
