Meeting of the st. Louis Chamber of
Commerce.

ST. LOUIS, June Is.
There was a meeting OF the Chamber of
Commerce to-day on the subject of memorial
izing Secretary Chase in regard to the restric-
tions in trade with the Northern States. Gen.
Walbridge, of New York, made a speech, in
which he expressed the opinion that it would
be wise for the government as fast as they took
possession of any portion Of the Southern
States, to throw it open to commerce with
the least possible restrictions, since our armies
go to extend the blessings of the federal con-
stitution which was itself founded on the
necessities of commerce.
The enrolled militia of the State have been
ordered to drill daily until further orders.
Eleven hundred prisoners were sent from

BALTIMORE, June Is

BALTIMORE, June Is.
The Americans special report from Har-
per's Ferry says Gen. Milroy succeeded in
cutting his way through the rebel lines and
reached there this forenoon. After evacuating
Winchester the fighting was desperate and the
rebels were repulsed repeatedly with heavy
loss. Finally they were largely reinforced,
and Gen. Milroy made his arrangements on
Sunday to abandon Winchester, finding the
rebels were endeavoring closely TO invest the
place. He lost some 1000 in killed, wounded
and prisoners.
Military movements are in progress to check
the rebels in this direction, which it would be
improper to particularize.
