from Our Special Cores2ondent
Sr. Louis, July II, 1863.
In the absence Of any war news from tbs State,
our citizens rejoice with loyal men e'erywhere over
the e,celleu. news from East aud South. All honor
to Gen. Meade ard tho glorious Army OF the Poto-
mac Glory to Gen. Grant and his gallant men.
God speed the right, and insure tho speedy crushing
Of the Rebellion.
A few days ago, the steamer Silver Moon arrived
here, with 800 prisoners captured ct Helena, by
Gen. Prentiss. The steamer tied mp to the leyee
awhile, aud immense crowds visited the spot-some
to sympa,hize with the prisoners, and throw them
applcs, oranges, and csko-bu. the minority from
sheer curiosity. The sights on board were the
same "a usual on such an occasion. Tho prisoners
werc fl,hy aud morose. One Of the officers good
humoredy related 10 squad Of the Provost Guard
officers hi surprise and that OF bis companions at
the unexpected deaoHtmeEt at Helena. They were
80 sure Of victory over the hanolli OF troops sIs-
toned thee, that soDe oI the officers gave away
cir extra ahiris and cl0h hee 20 their men eXpecCR
10 csp,urc enough at Helena for all. Their game
was 10 use the siege guns at ussna In battery ~
