Col. E. S. Joslyn and Capt. M.L. Joslyn

Col E. S. Joslyn and Capt. M. L. Joslyn left for St. Louis on Monday, expecting to meet their regiment at Cape Girardeau. The letters we publish to-day, show what a tramp the boys have had. They are expected at the Cape everyday. They may stay there a few days to recruit, as they are ragged and barefoot.

Col. Joslyn seems quite recovered, and goes back looking fine and hearty. The same may be said of the Judge. The trip home has rejuvenated them and prepared them for another campaign.

LATER,-- The regiment arrived at Cape Girardeau on Friday, and went on board a boat at once and started for Corinth. They went up the Tennessee on Saturday, and are now in the great army before Corinth.
