First you are going ot have ot check the wiring for any potential damage, this will entail you doing a continuity test and voltage test. you need to verify that you did not damage the wires in a way that will prevent them from delivering the charge to the starter. You will need to test the battery and make sure you did not damage any of the cells in the battery a simple voltage test with a multimeter will verify it is operating ( you will need between 11.8 and 12.6 volts) after you have made sure everything is in operating condition. Just as a side note you will want to be sure that all the fuses and relays are not damaged from the smoke out.
Once you have made sure all the wires and components are in good shape you will be able to repair the starter situation. When you try to reinstall the starter you will need to make sure that you are connecting the starter 'hot' (the battery positive) in the correct place on the starter, i imagine that you placed the battery hot on the wrong terminal of the starter and let the smoke out that way.
