If you draw the patch on the desired area, then drag it where you want it, you should get what you're looking for.

I have more success using the "selection marquee" to create a square or rectangle around an area of the pattern that is good. Once selected, do a "copy" and then do a "paste". The selected area copied will not be on a new layer. Highlight (select) the new layer that has the "copy" on it and use the "move" tool to place it over the area that you want to change or cover up.
Because the copied section of pattern is on its own layer, you can move it, scale it, or change any of its attributes (transparency, mode, ect.). With the "copy" layer selected, you can "add a mask" to it. By clicking on the mask icon on the "copy" layer you can use your paint brush to paint white or black to hide or reveal portions of the "copy" patch to blend it into the backgrounds pattern.
I find that using the "pattern" clone tool is very difficult to produce good results for the brushes are either too soft (blurs) or too hard (leaves noticeable edges). Also it is very difficult to match surrounding patterns that change in size as they progress in the image (meaning like railroad tracks appear to get closer to each other as they appear to go further away). Also, the clone tool is only as good as your ability to control the source origin which can either move along with the brush or be locked in place.
