Disaster to the 8th Iowa Cavalry

It was the misfortune of a part of this regiment to be in the late Stoneman raid, (something of which we published last week) and if reports are true they have been severely handled. The most of those in the engagement are said to be taken prisoners, killed, or wounded. Wm. Christy, formerly a member of the 15th, received four or five wounds and is a prisoner. He was reported killed but this is contradicted by letters received just before going to press.
