Yes, I have the Athens Post, Knoxville Whig, Brownlow Rebel Ventilator,and the Chattanooga Daily Rebel on microfilm, but find little on the Militia.
I lost your email address, so will pass this on which may be of use in your present flag work.

BRECKINRIDGE FLAG TO THE 20TH TENNESSEE. In a personal letter to a friend Comrade James Archer Turpin, of Waterproof, La., writes: "I see in the last issue of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN that a committee of ladies has been appointed to find the flag presented to Col. Thomas B. Smith's regiment, the 20th Tennessee, in January, 1863, at Tullahoma, Tenn., by Gen. John C. Breckinridge. I was present when this flag was presented and heard the presentation speeches of General Breckinridge and his staff officer, Theo O'Hara. General Breckinridge said the flag was made by the hands of his wife, and in it was a portion of her wedding dress. It was a large, beautiful flag, as I recollect. Colonel Smith in receiving the flag presented to General Breckinridge the old flag which had been borne in many a battle and had been riddled with bullets, and he made a beautiful speech also in receiving the flag. I have kept up with General Smith ever since the war. What a s?d fate was his!"
