FRon THE THIRD Iowa BArrERY.-We have
received somewhat lengthy communica-
ton from a correspondent in the Third Iowa
Battery. He pitches into coppcrheads rough
shod, but as the present article is mostly rep
etition Of views and feelings as expressed in
a letter published by us few weeks since
from the same gentleman, we shall have to
decline publishing it--not because VIC do not
agree with the opinions advanced by the
writer, but more on account of our limited
space, and for the reason above stated. If
the gentleman will favor US with short and
concise letters, treating Of general intelli-
gence connected with the army, the country,
situation, prospects, ETC., we shall be pleased
to hear from him often. One portion of our
correspondents letter, however, is worthy of
attention. He states that connected with the
Battery, is a certain E. w. Maggie, of Dubu-
que, and formerly Justice of the Peace, in
that city, who is rank copperhead; and
that upon several occasions he has publicly
stated that he was q :. Southern Sympa-
thiser, and that he should render to seces-
sion all the aid he possibly could. Our cor
respondent also states that this said Nagle is
in the habit Of writing letters to the Chicago
Times and Dubuque. Herald falsifying and
vilifying the members of the Battery, and
endeavoring to cast rcproach upon the whole
army and the cause generally. The boys
had better send him over to the side where
heo belongs, and let him fight in the cause
which has his sympathics. @.<,ta %. Eeo
CAVALRY FIGHT. -The greatest Cavalry
fight Of the war took place on the Rappahan-
mock on lTuesday.--of last week. 1t having
become known to Gen. Hooker that the rebel
cavalry under Gen. J. E. B. Stuart were
preparing for bold raid into Union territory
Gen. Pleasanton, now commanding the cav
airy of the Army of the Potomac, was re-
quested to look into the business. And that
Genera! lost no time in making his observa.
tons. Hastily assembling force sufficient
for his purpose, he dashed across the Kappa
hammock, and fell like thunderbolt upon
the astonished Rebels just as they were tax.
ING the saddle for their great raid. The fight
is represented to have been the most desperate
cavalry encounter Of the war, hand to- hand
contest, in which the saber on our side and
the revolver on the other did the work
After an hour or two Of wavering fortune
our men got the better Of the foe, driving
them Eve or six miles and strewing the
ground with their killed and wounded.
Our men made more than dozen charges
into the midst Of the Rebel ranks, relying al
most entirely upon the saber, which they
used with terrible effect. The enemy on the
other hand repeatedly charged, also, relying
ontheir revolvers for the most part however.
Both, sides were repeatedly driven back in
the course Of the battle. t. ~. =. ~, 4
