"THE CATHOLIC BISHOP or NAsHYLLE."-
We republished yesterday, from the Cincinnati
Commercial, a t~elegraphic dispatch from Louis
vile, in which the Catholic bishop Of Nashville,
who had Just arrived ia the latter city, is given
as authority for statements in regard to affairs
here, which would indicate that the bishop is a
Unionist, and as such inimical TO the southern
Contederacy. Upon inquiry, we are satisfied
that the telegrapher from Louisville did him the
greatest injasdee-attribUting to him statements
wmch he never made. The bishop was an early
friend of the cause of southern Independence, and
has constantly and consistently supported It. He
voted for separation in june last, and was the
cause Of numbers Of olhers casting their influence
ana sutrages in the same direction. Since that
time he has regarded the Independence Of the
Confederate States as an accomplished fact and
sustained the war as necessary and proper on
our part. His mission to Bowling Green was
that OF a Christian, to give consolation to the
sick soldiers ofhis church in our camps, and his
visit to Louisville is of a nature which should
not have subjected him to The injurious imputa-
tons of the Commercials correspondent. One
OF the strongest proofs he gave of his identity
with the South was the removal Of his mother
here from the North to share with him the for
tunes Of the South-NaShUIte Patriot

peeial Dispatch to the Memphis Appeal

Special Dispatch to the Memphis Appeal
KNOXVILLE, January 23.-The intelligence
reached here to-day that our forces, six thousand
strong, met about fourteen thousand Of the
enemy at seven O'Clock on the morning of the
18th inst, at Mills Springs a few miles below
Somerset, Kentucky. A terrible and hard
contested fight ensued We drove them back
three times, but were finally cutaanked after
a whole days fight, and forced to retreat to cur
intTenchments.
Gen. Zollicofer was killed early in the action,
being greatly exposed by his personal daring.
Gen. Cnttenden was wounded, and the command
then devolved upon Gen. William H CAIRO Il, of
your city, who with Battles and Strotha ms reg
iments, and other forces, made a desperate stand
against the foe and r~ecrossed Cumberland river
in good order. The crossing was protected by
Whites Tennessee regiment in a brave and dar-
ing manner.
Our loss is represented as being very lheavy.
That of the enemy is supposed to be greater.
Gen. Carroll is still falling back before largely
superior numbers, but will probably make a
stand at the mountain pass in his rear. Rut-
ledge's and Meetings. batteries of artillery were
lost in the retreat. MOnsarrat's battery is safe.

GLE FIRsr DISASTER.

We are called upon this morning to record the
first sad reverse of southern arms that has so far
marked the progress Of the war. A battle has
been fought at Mills Spring, Eastern kentucky,
some thirty miles above the Tennessee line, in
which the gallant Z%oLLICoFFER has fallen upon
the field, and defeat and disaster has overtaken
his army. It is useless to look upon the matter
in any other light than that of truth. We have
been badly defeated. The forces of the enemy,
in our opinion, consisted of about eight regi-
ments-the dispatches enormously state from
ten thousand to fourteen thousand sIong-un-
der command of Gen. THOMAS, and were strong
" fortified at he time Of attack. Gen. CRIT
TENDEN, who was commander-in-chief Of the
Confederate forces, probably had seven
regiments Of infantry and several companies
of artillery in the fight, and WIS the
attacking party. From the several accounts
which we publish, cur readers can wiEnow out
facts from falsehood as well as ourself We pre-
sumo that cur loss is over three hundred, and the
enemy's possibly less, from the fact that they
were protected by their intrenchments. 1t is to
be hoped that some Of the excited lugitiyes from
the field have highly colored the extent Of our
disaster, which now is made to look SO discredi-
table to southern valor. We will be satisfied
with ths present lights before US, if it does not
prove a Bull Run stampede.

The stone FIee1 Amin.
From the Rio Grnnde.

The New Orleans Delta has received the
Brownsville Flag of the ID instant, from which
it learns that the siege of Matamoras was still
going on with but little known change in the
relative advantages Of besiegers and besieged.
There was very lively fighting the whole of
Christmas day, but subsequently very little was
done on either side. The Flag says:
We regret to learn that Col. Fitzpatrick. con-
sui of the Confederate States, is confined to his
rooms from q severe attack of illness. His resi-
dence is on the outskirts of Matamoras, and con-
seqUently is in the inside of CaravaiaPs camp.
We understand that Col. Fitzpatrick very prop
erly holds on To, the records Of the old United
States consulate, on the ground that the Confed-
crate States are interested in the same.
An individual named Price, or Pierce, has
turned up IN Matamoras among the besieged, who
claims to be the consular representative of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and those who have seen him say
he is fit for the position. We congratulate the
MatamOreans that they have a man among them
who is ANXIOUS to admit that a nigger is as good
as they are.
The numbered buildings actually destroyed
by fire so far is stated at forty-fve. Many other
houses have eeen sadly injured, but they can be
repaired with some little outlay.
From a publication in our Spanish columns it
will be observed that the President Of Mexico
has recognized Serna as the legitimate governor
OF Tamaulipas.
Senior CUeYas has established a custom-house
IN CaraYaJaIs camp, and trade with the interior
is gradually recommending.
We are told that there are about thirty desert
ers from the Confederate army in the camp of
Caravajal, and that they are very well satisfied.

SURVEILLANCE OF THE SOUTH
EEgW REs

The A0aiaaehe of yesterday publishes the bin
recently reported by the military committee in
Congress proposing to impose certain restric-
tons upon the press Of the Confederate States,
and e~onlesses seeing no valid objection to its be-
coming a law. 1t adds:
Il newspaper correspondents are allowed to 90
into our camps and make public the programme
of our army, its effect is to forearm our enc
my by forewsrning them. Early in this war the
deleterious effects Of newspaper publications
were complained Of by some of the ablest jour
mails IN the Contederacy, and on more than one
occasion the plans Of our generals were forced
to be changed, by an imprudent and premature
exposition of them by the press. In a contest Of
the character ia which we are engaged, we be
heve that the public safety is the highest law.
The provision in the Confederate Constitution,
guaranteeing the freedom Of the press, is no i'm
munitY for It's licentiousness. We cannot con
ceive how a press can be truly friendly 10 the
Coniederacy, whicE, however good its motive
may be, gives information which strengthens
and encourages the enemy.
We fuIg agree with our c~otsuporary in cen
surfing severely a want Of proper decIetion and
reticence on the part of newspapers in the men
ton Of army movements. Our files viii attest
the fact that since the necessities of the military
situation first demanded it, we have scrupu-
lousy RETAINED from the publication in this jour
nal Of any intelligence calculated to furnish the
least information to the enemy, in or out Of our
midst Yet we cannot give this despotic and
unconstitutional measure eur appreciation. The
ostensible end sough. to be accomplished by it is
a laudable one, but it is an impiogs dogma Of
Jesuitism that the end justi6es the means. We
believe that Congress has no right under the
Constitution to legislate on this subject what
ever, and should be kept strictly within the limit
Gifts powers delegated by that instrument. Let

say how much farther it may 60 upon the ty-

the press IN its frequent expositions Of official
inbeefity, incompetency, and negligence. A

a war upon the liberty Of the people, and we

msnts upon 1t, or Of congressional usurpation Of

was the panic and alarm into which Nhe entire
army was thrown, that instant fight was ordered
TO save them from mutiny and the dreaded
" Stone Wall" which was said ts be eneom-
passing them round about. In their haste to
leave, many of their valuable stores fell into our
possession. Amongst other things, 400 tents,
1000 Overcoats, all of their papers, accounts,
etc, besides a considerable lot of provisions
-four, beef bacon, and groceries. The flight
took place before our troops were within a days
march Of the place. Upon their flight, they are
said to have destroyed a large amount of private
property upon their route the North River

RICHMOND, Januaay Is, 1862.
An universal feeliI g of profound sorrow was
awakened this morning by the announcement
of the death Of Ex-President Tyler. This
mournful event to-k place last night at twelve
o'clock at the Exchange Hotel. It was wholly
unexpected. A week ago to-day Mr. Tyler was
taken suddenly i'll at the breakfast table and
was conveyed to his chamber, after which time
he was never out Of doors. But the anxiety Gre
ated by this attack was quickly alayed by the
tidings that the old man had rallied, and thathis
physicians were not alarmed at his situation.
The principle of vitality was very strong in him,
and up to his last illness, his step was so elastic
and his frame 50 vigorous, that it was though.
his lease Of life had yet some time to run. The
public career OF Nj. Tyler constitutes an impor-
tant part of the history of the United States.
He filed many Offices, from the lowest to the
highest in the gift Of the people, and in all be
evidence Of fidelity and talent Il is re-
maTkable that he never filed any Office which

The Steamship R~inaIdo-Fears for Her

- ~ NJ
The New York HorJd Of the 18th has the fol-
lowing speculations concerning the British
steamer Rinaldo, upon which vessel our readers
viii remember MessTs. Mason and Sidel took
passage after their release:
The safety of the British steamer Rinaldo,
with her cargo Of rebels, is beginning to be a
matter Of doubt. The general impression was.
when she left Provincetown, that she would
proceed by the usual route to Halifax, when Ma
son and Sidel would be transferred TO a mail
steamer for England, but the latest arrival from
the former place brings no tidings of her. The
length Of time which has elapsed warrants the
conclusion that. if Halifax was the destined port,
the RinaldO must have been lost in that unpre-
csdented fury during the night Of the LIST inst,
and the following day.
The Riualdo left PgOvincetown at 6 P. NJ, Of
the lst inst, and only two hours alterward the
gale commenced all along that vicinity. All
those who Witnessed il, and sailors who were
out at that time, concur in representing it as
the most furious that has been experienced on
the eastern coast for years. The losses to ship
ping on the high seas were numerous, as the
long table Of disasters in the ship news column
of the Borid, Immediately subsequent to the
storm. have already chronicled. Two vessels,
the schooner Edward N. Clark, of Hartford.
and another of unknown name, are Known to
have sunk with all on board during that fearful
night.
The scores Of other eases that are not yet
known can only be imagined by looking at the
long list Of vessels due, many of which should
have been in port during the first few days Of
the present month. The Rinaldo may have
steered for st. Thomas on leaving Cape Cod, but
such q course would seem Uncalled for and sin
gulaT. She sailed, as the British consul in this
city states, under sealed orders, which Capt
Hewett, her commander, was to open after leav-
ing port. The Rinaldo had a heaEy armament
of guns, which would naturally tend to disable
the vessel IN a storm. They were also mounted
on the main deck, q fact which will still further
tend to incapacitate the vessel for weathering a
storm. Two Of her cannon weighed ten
thousand pounds each, and the remaining fifteen
were all thirty-twO Founders. The Rinaldo is,
or was, as the case may be, a screw steamer,
with engines Of two hundred horse power,
manned by two hundred hands, under the fol-
lowing officers: Hewett, commander A. Airing
ton, first lieutenant; X. Turton, second lieuten-
ant; G.. Smythe, master; A. Archer, surgeon; A.
Thompson, paymaster A Nelson, assistant sur
geon. If the steamer took the st. Thomas route
Tor England, and arrived safely at the former
port, we shall probably not hear Of the fact until
ten or fifteen days longer.
