We publish interesting letters, this week, from our correspondents, Mr. Reep and Lieut. Wright, with the 5th and 9th Regiments. We have also an excellent letter from our friend J. L. Loomis, dated in the advance of Gen. Pope's army, Booneville, Mississippi, June 7th. We shall be compelled, however, for want of room, to lay the letter over to next week. Friend Reep sends us the secesh love letter of which he speaks, but aside from its bad spelling we do not conceive that it would prove more interesting than such letters in general. Lieut. Wright writes us a few items of additional news in a private note. Capt. Bull and Adj. Scott had just arrived safe at camp. Company C. had but one man on the sick list, J. N. King, of Buffalo Grove, who was left at Batesville, with Corporal Bennett detailed to attend him. Edwin Fay, left at West Plains, was reported dead.
