OF Georgia troops commanded by Gen. Phillips

some misunderstanding between the Richmond

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The President has issued proclamation to the
effect that the RebelliOus States Of the South,
having refused to obey his command to return to
their allegiance, are in insurrecton against the
National Government, aud that all commercial
relations between them and the loyal States must
hereafter be suspended. All goods, and the
vehicles or ships conveying them, which are taken
in the act Of passing between the two sections,
are to be forfeited; and all vessels owned in
whole or in part by persons in rebellion found in
our waters after fifteen days from the date Of
this proclamation are to be also forfeited
From Missouri we learn that Ben McCuloch
is really dead, having as already reported, been
killed in the recent battle. The total loss on
our side in that fight is ascerained to be not
more than 400 in killed and wounded. Gen.
Sigel expected to reach Rolla on Friday. He
had rot been molested on the way.
There were yesterday rumors at Washington
of q fight at Acquia Creek. It appeared how.
ever, upon investigation that the foundations for
the reports were slight The Rebels had fired
with riAed cannon on the Pawnee, which yessel
returned the fire. The distance, however, was
too great, and no damage was done on either
side.
On Thursday the Resolute was sent from
Washington to make a reconnaissance Of Matthias
Point. Near PersimmCn Point, on the Virginia
shore. boat was seen filled with barrels; from
the ResOlutc boat with six men WAS sent to
capture it, aud when close upon it a volley Of
mu,ketry was fired from some busbes on the
shore instantly killing three Of the crew, and
woundng another. The attacking party, num-
bering about thirty. was disodged with loss by
the guns Of the Resolute. 1t is suggested that
tho bushes elOng the river be burned, as they
afford too convenient a cover for ambuscsding
parties.
Kentucky and Tennessee have been formed
into the Department of the Cumberland, aud
placed under the command of Gen. Robert
Anderson.
One hundred ani forty members Of The 10Th
New-YOrk Regiment did not answer to their
names at roll-calI yesterday morning and half
dozen we're arrested in the attempt 10 escape in
disguise. The case Of the mutinccrs Of tie
18th Nes-York aud I'd Maine regiments has
been definitely settled by Gen. Mcdowell with
the authority Of Gems. Scott and Mcclellan.
They are TO be sent at once 70 the Tortugas.
Gen. Mcclellan has issued an order rcy0Aing
the passes now out allowing persons TO pass over
the Potomac within the lines Of the army. Per-
mission to visit the camps is hereafter to be-
more sparngly given.
As an example of the valuable news from the
North current in the lard of Rebels We publish
this morning report from Richmcnd, By way OF
New Orleans to the effect that on Wednesday
morning 4 fight occurred at Leesburs, Va. BE-
