AMERICA.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)

LIVERPOOL, Monday.
The screw steamer Heels, from New York on the
9th inst., arrived here this afternoon. Her news
has been generally anticipated.
The New Fork World of the Bth does not place
perfect reliance on the report of the capture of Vicks•
burg . It sa3s :
" There is one point in connexion with the news
from Vicksburg which suggests some doubts re-
specting its correctness. The report purports to
come by a despatch boat which left Vicksburg at
10 a.m. on the sth inst., and reached Cairo on the
7th inst. before noon. As the distance between these
two points is 640 miles, it follows that this boat
must have run against the current of the Mississippi
at the rate of over 13 miles an hour, which is tre-
mendous travelling, as all know who have sailed up
that river. The despatch boat time is usually two
days between Vicksburg and Memphis, and it may
be that this news reaches us via Cairo, as the tele-
graph line is in operation between these two cities;
but it is not stated in the despatch. It is strange,
also, that Admiral Porter should make the announce-
ment of the surrender instead of General Grant, to
whom in courtesy and of right it belongtd. We
hope the report is all right."
The following are the details of the repulse of
the Confederates at Helena, Arkansas :

CAIRO, July 7.

• _
Between 8,000 and 9,000 Confederates, under Ge-
neral Holmes Price and Marmaduke, made an
attack on Helena on the morning of the 4th. They
advanced in three columns, but the roughness of
the ground prevented the rebels bringing up their
artillery, and they attempted to carry their works
by assault. The entire column charged in the di-
rection of Fort Curtis, and took three lines of rifle
pits. The flank attack was not s successful, which
subjected the centre to an enfilading fire which
swept them down in great numbers. They were
soon surrounded, and one whole brigade, numbering
840, was captured, 740 of whom arrived here this

marring.
" General Prentiss was aware of the contemplated
attack and was prepared. He had about 4,000 men,
and was assisted by the gunboat Tyler.
" Prisoners say the attack will be renewed. The
battle commenced at 4 a.m. The rebel loss was 1,500
in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The entire Union
loss was not over 100.

" General Prentiss is confident that he can repel
assault made.

"It is thc ught the rebel depredations near Lake
Providence were to draw the gunboats to that
point, thus to give them a better opportunity at
Helena."
