what is the current when you charge a 12v battery by 50V?
(50-12)/R, what's the value of R. Is it the resistance of the battery?

Yes, according to ohm's law V/R=I, but that won't help you here. The amount of current going in is completly dependant on the mill. A 10' turbine will put more amps in a battery at 12v than a 2' one so your question is impossible to answer with such limited information. If you want to know for sure how much current you are generating, get your multimeter out and measure it.
