The Pennsylvania Election.

Secretary Stanton sent to Col. Forney the following congratulatory letter about the result of the election in Pennsylvania:—

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14th, 1863.
To John W. Forney, Esq.

Thanks for your telegram.  All honor to the Keystone State!  She upheld the federal arch in July, and with steel and cannon-shot drove the invaders from her soil; and now, in October she has again rallied for the Union, and overwhelmed the foe at the ballot-box.

EDWIN M. STANTON.
