ARMY LETTER 
    The 3d Ohio Cavalry- Where it is and What it is Doing.
 
    In Front of Marietta, Georgia Camp 3d O.V.C., June 29, 1864. Ed. Democrat.
 Dear Sir: Knowing that some of the readers of your paper feel a deep interest
 in the welfare of the members of Co. H, I propose dropping a few lines in
 regard to them, and the regiment in general. Since the brigade left Columbia,
 Tennessee, on May 22nd there has been very few days of rest for us. Some of the
 time we were in a country where there was no forage, at other times where it
 was plenty, consequently our horse have suffered more than ourselves. After
 crossing the river at Decatur, we have been in four or five skirmishes,
 generally resulting in our favor. At Moulton, Alabama, the rebels tried to
 surprise us, but did not accomplish much, the fight resulted in a loss to them
 of 15 killed, 100 wounded, and 30 prisoners, including three commissioned
 officers. Our entire loss was 4 killed and 10 wounded, one taken prisoner.
 Company M, 3d, had one man killed; F, one slightly wounded. We joined the main
 army on the 8th inst., since that time we have been operating on the left, with
 varying success, but generally advancing. Our lines have advanced considerably
 since that time, and everything appears to be working well. Three of Company H
 were wounded on the 15th inst.-Sanford Moss, John Abnatha and Seth Hamblin. The
 latter had his left hand so badly shattered with a piece of shell, that
 amputation became necessary. Abnatha's wound is slight. I learned yesterday
 that Moss died of his wound, on the 22nd inst., in hospital near Big Shanty

Station. This division of cavalry went out day before yesterday and made a
 demonstration. I have since learned that it was done in order to attract
 attention while the right and center advanced. It is reported that three lines
 of breastworks were carried and held. The health of the company is good.
 
    Yours, &c. John Spencer
