Oct. 4,18G6.—ly ATTORNEYS AT LAW, IMPORTER OF BRANDIES, WINES, GINS, &c.. &c In a letter from Dr. Channing to a young clergyman he discusses diffidence and the " way of getting the better of it," as follows : " What a mystery this diffidence is? We shrink before people whom e cannot respect, perhaps whom we despise. I is no sien of cowardice tor very brave men to C scover it. It is no sign ot hu milily, tor I th lk I have eeeu it in the proud and asp ring. Dne would say at first sight, that it is an indici'HC;ii jf selfishness, a proof that a man is busy :ii ways with himself, anxious bow he shall be viewed : and yet is if not to be seen sometimes in the disinterested? It is a great mystery. Do study it I believe this is a way of getting the better of it We say, in common speech, that a man masters a subject wh icb he comprehends, and real knowledge has a great deal of power in it. Is diffidence a primitive fueling, or does it grow out of others ? Its commonness in childhood seems to indicate that it is primitive. If so, what are its nses ? or what is itaoonnection with our whole nature? You see I would set yon to thinking about this tyrant within yoa. I confess I do not not understand it, though it hu palsied and unmanned me often enough to made itself known. There are two means of overcoming it The first is mixing freely with soeial society, fighting with it on its own ground, hardening ourselves by facing those whom we fear, the process which make* veterans out of raw recruits. The second method of eonqaering this invisible .foe is far nobler. It is the rational and moral one. It consists in self culture and self respect; in resolving to be, not to seem worthy of regard; in estimating ourselves wisely, and feeling that others' judgement makes us neither better nor worse; in comprehending how little others think of us, and how little they are capable of knowing us; in becoming self-forgetful, by taking a generous interest in others; in adopting noble principles of action, and adhering to them through good report and evil report; in learning the weaknesses and follies of those whom we dread, whilst at the same time we are just to their good qualities; in patting down the passion tor distinction, and rising to a sense of God's presence with us. I am sore that these rational means are of great efficacy. Unhappily diffidence is apt to produce a despair of our power to conquer it; but whilst a strong nstural diffidence is never wholly subdued, I know that its blighting, palsying influence over ns ma y be greatly neutralised."

Sir : I have noticed in several newspapers a statement that Mr. Stanton, on assuming the duties of Secretary of War yesterday, appeared at the office of the Pay Clerk and drew bis pay nearly $3,000, for the time he bas been suspended from office. The statement is entirely without foundation. Mr. Stanton has not only not applied to draw pay for the period of his suspension, but bas informed me that he does not consider himself entitled to any pay for that period umier the Act of Congress.

PITTSTON, PENN'A., A statement which came direct from President Johnson was printed yesterday to the effect that he (Johnson) and Gen. Grant bad an understanding some time ago, which was occasionally renewed, and repeated no later than last Saturday, that should the Senate decide to restore Stanton he (Gen. Grant) would either retain possession of the Department until a decision could be had in the Supreme Court, or give timely notioe of his intention to resign so that he (Johnson) could appoint a  would resist the claims of Stanton, and not surrender without judicial order. It was also stated, on the same high authority, it was not know what cause induced Gen. Grant to change his mind, or to withdraw from the arrangement. Dispatches of similar import to the above were widely published, and oaused a great deal of discussion and comment The friends of Gen. Grant indignantly denied that any such arrangement ever existed. There was no doubt whatever that the President had made the published statements within the last few days, and there was evidently a mistake, to use the mildest phrase, on the same side. Late in the evening the matter was set at rest A high official called on President Johnson to ascertain the truth of the dispatches, when the President denied the entire affair, thus placing himself in a very unenviable position. We are authorized also to deny, on the part of Gen. Grant, that he bad any understanding whatever with the President, and certainly none of the character which yesterday's dispatches would indicate.— It may be stated that Mr. Johnson wished to throw on Mr. Stanton the burden of proving the constitutionality of the Tenure-of-Office bill by refusing to abide the action of the Senate.— Gen. Grant's friends are very much incensed against the President for this, as they call it, cowardly uttempt to injure him in the estimation of the public. It is not denied that Grant talked with the President on the subject, but it was merely in » casual way; and on Monday last Gen. Grant said to the President that he had been studying the law bearing npon the suspension, and was of opinion that it was his duty to yield to the decision of the Senate.
