Lady Clairvoyant in Trouble.—
Miss Tennessee Claffln, a clairvoyant phy
sician, is in trouble in Chloago. The papers
of that city give the particulars of the affair,
of which, the following is the substance: _ln
October last a simple-minded man of lie*
mont, 111,, named Edward Silver, employed
Miss Tennessee to prescribe ior his wife,
who was lying dangerously ill. The fee in
the case was fixed at sBooy/and a promis
sory note given for that amount, payable to
Miss Tennessee’s order, and by her depo
sited in a bank as collateral for a loan which
she had negotiated. The new physician
commenced the treatment of the lady, who
in a few days expired. Since all this tran
spired, Mr. Silver has come to the sensible
conviction that he has been defrauded of his
money. More than that, the terrible proba
bility bas been forced upon his mind that
his sad bereavement came all the sooner for
the unchristian arts of the clairvoyant phy
sician. He filed a bill in the Circuit Court
P'
praying for an injunction to restrain Ten
nessee Claffin and the bank for taking any
steps which might render him liable to pay
the note above mentioned. The case having
been argned, an injunction, as prayed for,
was granted.

New Obleans, Dec. 12.—The City Co tm

aside a room in the City Hall and all its

Congressional Committee to investigate the
New Orleans riots.
Important from Mexico.
New Orleans, Dec. 12. —The New Or
leans papers contain to-day additional Mexi
can news, furnished by CoL John G. Fisher.
Gen. Gastelnan arrived at Vera Cruz, jnst
as Ger. Donaly, with his troops, (in the lat
ter part ol October), was about embarking.
The troops immediately returned to the
city of Mexico, and left for Oaxaca on the
261 nof November, recapturing that place
from Diaz,who had taken from the Austrian
trcops about 3,500-men in brigades, on the
march to Oaxaca.
Maximilian has about 2.000 Belgians,
15,000 Ausirians, 30,C00 Mexican Imperial
’s's, and 25,000 French troops, armed, cloth
ed, fed and paid (including officers), ffitsen
days in advance.
On the 3d cf December, Maximilian is
sued a proclamation deciding his intention
to remain in Mexico.
A great inducement for Maximilian to re
main was the arrival of Miramon and Mar
quez from Europe. They pledged them-
Eelves to a war with Mejia against the Lib
erais.
Marquez’s headquarters were at Puebla,
and Miramon’s at Gugmapuita. Mejia wrs
at San Luis Potosi, where he now is.
General Vidanrri has been appointed
Special Commissary of the Department of
Monterey.
The States in Mexico are no longer known
bb such, the imperial rule having converted
them into Departments, several Slates to
compose a Department.:
The statement that General Sherman has
denied admission in Vera Crnz is untrue.
It was supposed that he wished to hold a
conference with Cestelnau, and orders were
given to the Prefect to pnt an extra train at
his disposal, and afterwards a guard coach
w-om the railroad terminus, with a hundred
French soldiers, and. thus conduct him to
the city of Mexico.
The Susquehanna anchored about six
miles from Vera Cruz, but did not go into
the harbor;
Instead of the troops going away, there
was good reason for believing that more
are on :the way. The prospects of Maximil
ian were improving.
