Chicago, April 19.--When Gen. Mitchel reached Decatur, Alabama, on his bridge expedition, he took possession of the telegraph-office and cut the wires, leaving Decatur and Corinth only in telegraph communication.
Subsequently Beauregard sent a message to Jeff Davis, demanding reinforcements for Corinth, and declaring that otherwise he could not hold his position.
General Mitchel answered the despatch and promised the reinforcements.--Chicago Tribune, April 19.
