29th Texas Cavalry Flag Presentation

Browsing around on Genealogybank website the other day I came across this short article in the "Dallas Harald" dated 21 January 1863: "A handsome battleflag was was presented to the 29th Texas Cavalry on the 18th ult. at Clarksville by Miss Ida DeMorce. The presentation address by Miss DeM. together with the reply of Lieut Col. O.G. Welch is published in the Standard of the 8th Inst."
Genealogybank does not have the 8 January 1863 issue of the Standard on file, so I am assuming it was not preserved unless someone out there has information about it.
I suppose this would be the battleflag believed shot down by the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry and carried off by the 2nd Indian Home Guard. Anyone ever hear about what happened to this flag?
