The Rebel Retreat from Mill Spring.--In the course of a eulogistic notice of Capt. C. C. Spiller, the Republican Banner gives the following particulars of the rebel retreat from Mill Spring:

Before the fight, he asked permission to lead his company, but General Zollicoffer ordered him to remain at the river, in charge of operations there.
