DAILY POST. PITTSBURGH S.4TURDAY XIORNING, OCT. 17, 1+63 Where there IN no Law there hi no Freedoni. The Union as it Was, The Constitution as It Is WO AT THE ELECTION DECIDED. Fonx ET made a speech in Philadelphia on the night of the election, in which he announced 4s-follows what the Aboli tion re-election of CuaxlN decided : "You have declared to favor of the entirelporicY ef the Fed, rat A dministration. Ycu have de clared in favor of that much maligned and mis represented draft. You have declared in fa vor of the eplendid financial policy of Yr. Crum You have declared in favor of the vigor ous. h nes: an intrepid management of the War Department, by Mr. STINTON. You have de clared tha• whether in the Administration of the Federal 140vornment or out of it, no man that be longs to the Republican party shall dare to set himself no attamer the Federal Government or against thepokitat of that party. Whether that man be a ward politician or a cabinet officer, you have, by thiegreat vote of to-des. decided that ho whn is not with us is a g ainst. Rs " Before the election came off, the Aboli tionists insisted that the contest was sim ply one of "loyalty against disloyalty," in which every citizen, no matter what his peculiar opinions were, in relation to other questions, was cordially invited to partici pate. But now, the• a sufficient number of Democrats were fooled into the "Union" trap, to carry the election for the Aboli tionists, we are informed authoritatively by the President's dog, that the election not only endorsed all the infamous meas ures of the Administration, but that it also announced that no man belonging to the "Republican party shall dare to set himself up against the Federal Govern went, or the policy of that party." Without stopping to congratulate the "loyal Democrats," who deserted their honest old party to assist in electing a set of Abolition conspirators against the in tegrity of our Government, we desire to direct attention to what we conceive to be the true significance of FORNEY'S declara tion. It is already known that there are rival candidates for the Presidency in the President's Cabinet, besides the President himself. Secretary CHASE iv the radical favorite in whose interests FORNEY is. IL is also well understood that the CHASE in• terest did not favor the nomination of CURTIN, but wauled him " postponed ;" bat new that CURTIS is.rp elected, the ex treme Abolitionists are determined to use it for the interest of their extreme fac tion. Those of the Republicans who favor a less radical policy than CHASE, are rep resented by Postmaster Gc-neral BLAIR, who in a speech the o:her day iu Maryland denounced CHASE'S extreme opinions, and alluded to some of his organs as followi: " imultanemmly three leading organs: the Chronicle at Wo,shingten, boasting a sort of oittoinl sanction the Missouri Dcmoc.at, the ultra abol idler of Fremont graft at ot. Lerch and the At /antic Monthly, which lends to the parent stock at Boston all it can boast of literary strength and el egance, a trE STRUCK THE KEY NOT 6 OF FLEVoLtr- Tnx, the sheer abo'ition of ,State cc.nstitteione the region coffering under the rod of the rebelion."" The Chronicle, mentioned by Mr. BLAIR is FORIO:Y'S court organ, and is t'he special mouthpiece of CHASE and STANTON; the Missouri Democrat is the organ of the FREMONT German infidels of Missouri, and the Atlantic Monthly is the organ of the revolutionary doctrines of CHARLES SUMCER. The radical 'Abolition element, which favors the continuance of war, not for the restoration of the Union, bat for its destruction, expects to control the next Congress and the next Peesiden tial nomination, and hence FortNuT's an nouncement that no "Republican shall dare to set himself up against the policy of that party." The conservative Repub licans, who like the Democrats, desire to prosecute hostilities in order .to save the Union, are informed by one in the coun sels of the SUMMERS and STEVENS .that they must not even question the infallibili ty of their intentinna. But we very much doubt whether the indomitable pinch of the BLAIRS is likely to quail before the threats or the thrusts of such pigmies and poltroons as FORNE7 and SUMNER. Bred in the stubborn school of JACESON, they are not likely to give way to the destrnc tive schemes of Abolition anarchists, whose aim now is to destroy the sovereignty of the States, and carry on hostilities until the people of the South are utterly extermin a:ed. When that is accomplished, and England 'Leh with the spoils made off ,he Nation's misery, we may then reap ize the development of the last act in the Abolition drama, which will be the erec don of a monarchy or a despotism upon the ruins of cur once stupendous Repub lic.. That SUMNER and his school aims at something of the kind there can be no question. To resist it will be the duty of every patriot. But, in the meantime we can not but congratulate those "loyal Democrats," whose votes enabled FORNEY to make the announcement he did, when he ascertained that CURTIN wag re elected THE VOTING IN THE FIRST WARD, PITTSBURGH.

A.s we stated on a 'former occasion, iE is unnecessary to contradictthis any further, especially as the allegation comes through a channel for which no one is willing to be held responsible. We cannot, however, refrain from noticing the following brief paragraph, in the Commercial's reiterat ion of its falsehood : "The Fovea editorial of yesterday'demands a re- Ply. The allegation that we are a 'mysterious, anknoim and ir, esp tmsible comb:nation :of bro ken doWnpotitieal hacks alt.! traders is politics' neither alarms or molests us. We oan afford to becallad hard names by the condaotors of the Post, and neither lose our self respect or that of our community." We had no idea, when we alluded to the "Commercial Printing Comp:oV," that anything wt could say would either alarm or molest them. Political adventurers, whose reputations are 80 damagediaa to re quire masquing are not easily alarmed, and as for losing their self-respect, it is entirely imposablefor them to lose what they never had, lithe burly valentine, who, in open day, announced to a mass meeting in Al• Mgheny, that Judge WOOD wean wee sorry because his own son was not killed at Gettysburg, be an embodiment of the "self respect" of the Pittsburgh Commercial Printing Company we would advise the balance of them to remain incognito for the balance of their lives. Bat if these adventurers in masquerade, will let the community know what they intend, what their secret intentions are, and why they are ashamed to be known, we shall then condescend to administer such chastisement for their falsehoods as we think they severally mer it. In the meantime, we wish to assure the Company behind:falee-faces, of our en tertaining for tnem the loftiest and most profound contempt. THE PROBABLE RESULT We have labored diligently to arrive at the probable result in the State at th 2 late election.

Here are written two words of cur ion gitrage, sounding very much alike. but which, all the world over, and from the earliest times, have evoked the greatest possible difference in feeling. To he fe irly beaten, on any issue, where the fight is fair, creates regret in the human mind but to be foully cheated out of success, provokes men more than any other cir cumstance that can befall them. We be lieve that the Democrats have been delib• erately, wickedly, and systematically CHEATED in the late election. We know some things, ourselves. on which to base this opinion, and we feel sure that io very few days, frauds upon the right of suffrage will be developed, all over the State, that will make the cheeks of those who claim a Victory for Curtin, tingle with shame, if they have a drop of honest blood in their veins, or an honest fibre in their bodies. This. is not written in a paroxysm of mortification, because, at the moment, it seems that the Democratic State ticket is nonelected—but it:is written from a certain conviction that most stupendous frauds have been perpetrated upon theiDemocrat ic party, and upon the purity of the elec tion franchise--frauds which render in significant the election outrages of 1838, upon which Stevens. Ritner & Co. at tempted to usurp the State Govern ment—trands, which in their boldness. extent, and cunning execution, make the returns of Millerstown and Youngwomans town (in 1838,) blush for the bunglers who planned them. We shall say no more now, than to give notice to unscrnpnlons rogues who have dared to trample on the rights of the freemen of Pennsylvania, that their game is not yet playediont, and if their tricks are not completely covered, (as they cannot be) they will find that no sort of rascality can be practiced very long with impunity A.

A DEAD MAN'S FINGER •---Thero has seldom been recorded a wif .tosser instance of superstition than ws disclosed in the c ,aglagall (county An• trial of a case at L trim) Petty Sessi- 4 James Hagan was ", summoned by h' l3 e, Sarah Hagan, for gross ill.t m .cment, the cause of which was ( as described by the correspondent of th e Daily Express) the loss of• a very di w isting talisman, which Hagan belicv sd enabled him to become invisible at c. r tain times and places. This mysterious power is communicated by the possesei in of a "dead man's finger !" It certainly must once have been part of a very bad man. for its possessor used it for very bad purposes, his wife having sworn that he ken( it because by means of it he could enter any man's dwelling, go behind his counter and rob his drawers without being observed or detected. This was her evi dence but she could not say if the finger had ever been so employed. No doubt to a thief such a relic would be 'valuable. Hagan :regarded it in that light ; it en dowed him with a charmed existence, and because his wile could not account for it he gave her a most unmerciful beating, and threatened to take her life. The troth appears to be that the poor woman be came alarmed at the conduct of her hus band carrying about the finger, and she buried it in a neighbors' field and forgot the place of iutermeat. No excuse would satisfy Hagan. He would have the finger and nothing but the finger, so the po3r woman, tailing to discover it, felt the power of his five fingers in every unnial ly way. The Bench, having commented severely on the fellow's misconduct and gross superstition, ordered him to lid bail to keep the peace for twelve months. INGILAR DEATH.—A young man nam ed B—, residing in the Avenue de Clichy, lost his life, a few days since, while attempting to save a favorite cat which had fallen into a deep draw well. On being informed of his poor cat's acci dent, he immediately determined to fetch her up, a rather dangerous operation f him as he had hut one leg, having lest the other when in the army. In spite of aphis neighbors could say, he insisted on being let dowil by a rope into the wel, and be succeeded in bringing the cat up ; but while he was handing her to his assist ants, the rDpe broke and he fell to the bottom. Some time was lost in procuring another rope, and when B-- was drawn from the well lifa was extinct. An extraordinary case of imposture has been brought under the notice of the ma,-; istrates at Wolverhampton. A you: g woman, apparently in great distress, was found in the street by a policeman, to whom she related a shocking case of out rage, alleging, also, that poison had beer administered to her. The man involved in these charges was apprehended; but a StatllJt d police officer informed the magi Crates that the woman was a gross impos ter. lie mentioned two or three similar eases, in which she had figured as inft.r mans, and in every instance her story was proved to be palpably false. The woman was remanded. Mr. Hobbs, formerly a chairmaker at Path, emigrated, with his wife and family of six, to Algiers. Being disappointed, he engaged a return passage on board the Robert Draper schooner, bound for the Thames. Owing to the warmth of th wi miler, the family, at their own requeit, berthed in the longboat on deck. Heavy westher was exp. rill - need, and the family .ff c• .1 dreadfully from sickness, a•id could icit partake, cif lood, or shift their quarters.

Itu. elan Rule al Poland — Fearful s ef ...i.e at Warsaw.- A cones." ondeut of the-London Post, ' wr i t i n „ irom Warsaw on the 20th ultimo, give a vivid sketch . of the scene which' ,allowed the attempt made to assassinate the Russian General Berg, by flinging an Orsini bomb. at him as ,he was riding through the streets of Warsaw "The missile was thrown in the narrow est part of the street, between the house of Count Andrew Zamoyski and the Saxon Palace. When the smoke cleared away, Gen. Barg was found to be unhurt in hie carriage. Trustwordri witnesses of the scene, who were at their windows at the time, declared that it was I erfectly impos sible either for them or Gen. Berg, blind ed with the smoke, or for. hie escort, to see whence the bomb fell. The police at the corner of the street were so frightened that they concealed themselves, BO that they could not even have a suspicion of the house where the author of the attempt was.' It was a moment of suspense, fear and uncertainty. Meanwhile, Berg, hay ing arrived at the orderly room, gave cer tain orders, whose nature subsequent events disclosed, and afterwards, sur rounded by a fresh convoy, rode home. One thousand infantry and cavalry now proceeded in a wide column from the orderly room in the direction of the spot where the attempt had been made. On the road they arrested, in the most brutal manner, every person they met, driving all before them with their bayonets. They then entered both the houses of C ,ant Zalllo7Blii, one of which is strictly a pri rate house, occupied by his household exclusively, and the othe f r. perhaps the most magnificent house in Warsaw, fitted up in a moat luxurious style, and occupied by yearly one hundred opulent and highly respectable families. That the bomb should have been thrown from one of these houses was most improbable. and I have already pointed out that it was impossible to know which was the house whence it was thrown. What were the scenes enact ed in these, perhaps the most respectable lioness in Warsaw, between five in the afternoon and twelve at night, God only knows. The crowd outside saw the win• Bows all smashed, and the furniture, books, pictures, mirrors, pianos, dresses, and cupboards thrown into the street, and ;Sey heard, in the midst of the yells of the savage soldiery, the noise of the creaking of furniture, and the despairing cries and groans of women. After seven hours of destruction, the soldiery dragged the male inhabitants, upwards of two hun dred in number, covered with wounds and contnsions, to the citadel. These poor people were without hats or coats, and their clothes were nearly torn off their backs. Among them were several old men, whose weary and despairicg looks moved the bystanders to tears. In Mio dowa street, where there is a church. these unfortunate people knelt down to Bay a silent prayer, but the soldiery rushed upon them with their bayonets, tore them from their kneeling position, and forced them to march on. Meanwhile the women and children, thus deprived of their natural protectors, were exposed to the insults and obscene jokes of the drunken sril diery, without a hone—even without warm clothing against the cold. About eleven o'clock p. m , a short time before the men were taken to the citadel, a lurid light was seen in the sky above the spot where these scenes occurred. It was thought that this must be a fire, caused either by accident or despeir. fhe lire brig desimmediately collected tr_rn all parts f the town, but the eeldiera who were posted in the street would nut allow them to enter it, and even anew furniture into the flames as fuel. ['he fire lasted all night, and this morning ihree heaps of ashes are all that remains of the residences and homes of nearly one hundred families. Among the victims I gilt only mention Prince Thaddeus I,u bornireki and Count Stanislaue Zsmoyski ( brother of Count Andrew). The ri ai dences of both have been razed to ihe ground, and boil-, are now in prison. Ths well-known Oriental scholar Kowalewaii, rector of the, University, owed his -person al safety to the accident cf his abaence from home, but of his furniture, his rooms, and his magnificent Oriental library—the trait of some thirty years' judicious collec -ion--nothing remains. 'rhe very vain able library of Prince Thaddeus Laboal re ki, who has for some time been occupied In writing a history of Poland. has been completely destroyed in the fire. As for other articles, which, in the eyes of the barbarous soldiery, were pf more value— such as furs, dresses, gilt furniture, &c they were taken to the citadel, there is no doubt, to be divided among those who showed the most zeal in the work of de aturuction. The immense. stores of the wine merchant Krnpecki have been com pletely destroyed." The Attempt to Destroy the Iron sides Unsuccessful—She is Con sidored Torpedo Proof. FORTRESS Mosaox, October 14.—The steam transport Yankee, from Charleston Bar 10th instant, (Saturday,) arrived here this morning. She had in tow, the wood eu gunboat Madgie, coming north for re pc.irs, which sunk off the Frying Par, Shoals on Sunday la7d. Her crew were all saved. They report the result of the rebel attempt to destroy the Ironsides as follows:—The rebels attempted to destroy the Ironsides on the night of the oth in stant by approaching her in a small steam er and exploding a torpedo amidships. The concussion was tremendous, knock ing down a bull head and injuring oat man. The Ironsides' hull was uninjured, and she is considered torpedo proof. The enemy's steamer was badly damaged, and several of her men knocked aver hoard and drowned. On the night of the Gth another attempt wits made to destroy tha frigate, but the enemy were discovered and driven off. A heavy reward is said t., have been of fered by the cozens of ri,,rleston for the destruction of the "Irensides." Active operations are daily expected It, be resumed by the army and navy. Additional Particulars CHARLFSTON Flitisort, October 10.—On Monday night last a daring but unsuccesful attempt was made by the rebels to destroy the frigate New Ironsides, lying near Fort Moultrie, by a torpedo. They employed for the purpose a small and very swift steamer, cigar shaped, and showing but a small portion above the water. She was manned by a crew of four persons, con• sisting of Lieutenant Glassett, who was the commander of the party, an engineer named Toombs, a fireman named Scot, and a pilot, whose name is unknown at the preset t writing. She eluded the pick et boats of our fleet by passing close in to 'the shore of Sullivan's Island. She then made directly across the harbor, and came up to the vessel without attracting any at tention. She struck the Ironsides fairly amidships, exploding a torpedo, contain ing sixty pounds of rifle powder, at the moment of contact. The rebel steamer was ithdoubted:y sunk ; either by force of collision or oar shot. Lieut. Giessen, her commander, jucni.ed overboard and swam to a school: er. He and the fireman, Scott; are now prisoners on board the guard•ship. Lieut. Glassett was formerly in oar navy. says thati the explosion of the torpedo drove the steamer under until water ran in her smoke-pipe and put our her fires. The torpedo was suspended to the bows of the rebel vessel, so es to strike the Iron sides under the water. The explosion was severely felt on the Ironaides, but no ma terial damage was done to her hull, engine, or armament: One man had his leg Imo , ken, and'one of the bulkheads of the yes eel was knocked down, which can be re paired here. The Ironsides was prepared for -action by Captain Rowan immediately, and is as eflectiie for offensive operations as ever. She is now regard, d here ea torpedo proof. She , opena, e .with muskets on the rebel - vessel; and in a &w minutes fired two of her larger guns. A mushet fired from the rebel steamer dangerously wounded Acting Ensign Charles Howard, of the Ironsides, who was officer of the deck at the time. The bottom of the Ironsides has been examin ed by divers and found to be wholly un injured. The rebel engineer, Toombs, formerly of our navy: and the pilot of the rebel steamer are supposed to have been drownded On Tuesday night it was supposed the rebels meditated a second attack on the Ironsides. A boat of some kind, believ ed to have been a small steamer, ap proached our picket line, but was dis covered and driven off after some firing. The rebels greatly dread the Ironsides, and it is said that the Charleston people have offered a reward of $60,000 in gold for her destruction. General Gilmore and Admiral Dahl— gren, have both paid a brief visit to Port Royal. Whilst there General Gilmore visited the flagship with a band and sere naded the Admiral. This incident shows how little truth there is in the story of ill leeling between these two distinguished c dicers. They are and always have been in hourly intercourse by signals. There has been the usual firing during the past week, principally by the rebel batteries. Gen. Gilmore occasionally re• plies to the James Island batteries or throws a few shells into Fort Sumter. The signs are encouraging for an early renewal of active operations. —American Correspondent. Washington Telegrams Dr. Hambleton Again Arrested. Dr. Hambleton, formerly of the Atlanta 4Ga ) Confederacy was arrested here to day and consigned to the Old capitol prison. He was for some time surgeon of the Thirty-fifth Georgia regi•aent, and came up through our lines in the VI esters deparfment. After being confined in Fort Lafayette he was Released on parole, and arrangements mad'i for his return South by flag of truce.

The Recent Attack on Vldalla An official report states that in the re cent attack upon our forces at Vidalia. opposite Natchez, the object of the rebels was to capture the negroes recruited for Colonel Farrar's regiment and destroy a pontoon train. The negroes, however, had all been transferred to the other aide of the river, excepting those doing picket duty, and the pontoon train was awaiting transportation. Farrar, with a few men, attacked the enemy so vigorously that they had not time to accomplish their object, but in twenty minutes after their first tip peargnce were in full retreat.

It is said that at first the Austrian Government declined to sanction the use of Prince Maximilian's name in connection with the empire of Mexico, and held out until the French Minister at Vienna adroitly reminded the Austrian Court of the insult put upon that .ouniry by the American government in Mr. Webster's famous ietter to Chevalier Hnlseman. It will be remembered that :his letter was in relation to the seizure by Commodore Ingraham, of an Austrian named KoFzta, who was taken in an Aus trian harbor as an American citizen al though he had only declared his intentions to become one. The Austrians at that time regarded the splendid letter of Mr. Webster merely as an insult. Having but one harbor, Trier - de, and no naval power, they ware compelled to submit to the arrogance of the American govern mentiltid have felt sore about it ever since. 4. This state of feeling was taken i,eivantage of by Louis - Napoleon to in duce the Austrian Court to countenance its Mexican project, which is a much mose revere insult to the Austrian govern. in, IA than seas the letter of Webster, thr.ough Hulseman to the Austrian goy et ~ m, ot. The Army Testimonial to McClellan. There is no other thing which the radi Face made such noise shout of late as the proposed army testimonial to Gen. McCle Ist. The constant cry, that it has proved a failure, is on par with all their other falsehoods iu regard to that gallant officer, and is further proof that they fear McClellan's ability, Were he so poor an officer, and possessed so little talent as they claim he does, there would be no at tacks upon Mm. The fact is, they know he is one of the ablest Union generals Hence their constant attack upon him to poison the public mind. In regard to the testimonial by the army to McClellan, its success was far beyond the anticipations of the friends of that general. The basis for subscriptions for privates was ten cents each ; but in many ins.ances they refused to Emit themselves to that figure. In most instances the rank and file took hold of it with great enthu siasm. In one division alone the sum of ten thousand dollars was raised. The only instance where there were any objec tions raised were in a New York regiment, whose colonel when raising his regiment, publicly announced that be would have no One but abolitionists in his regiment, and a Michigan regiment and one from the West. These regiments were all that made any ohj-ctious. When the order was issued putting a step to the subscrip— tion the round sum of thirty thousand dollars bad been subscribed. Here is the secret of the order being issued, and the animosity of Stanton and company. Had the plan proved a failure no order would I have ever been issued to prevent the cir culation of the subscription papers in the army. The failure of the men to sub— scribe, would have been just the evidence the radicals wanted against McClellan; hint 'heir hold of It with enthu— siasm roused the anger and petty jealousies of Stanton and his clique. In order, therefore, to prevent toe fact that the army still adhered to their devotion to .their former gallant commander being known, an order was issued to prevent the subscription being taken, and the .money wls refunded. Moat of the officers contributed liber ..lly ; c risers manifested their regrets that they were so situated that they dared not take hold of the matter and push it as they desired tn, fearing that if they did they would be degraded by the War Office at Washington. The treatment of Col onel Davis, of the staff of General Meade, shows how well founded were their sus picions. Colonel Davis held a position on Gen eral Meade'atitaff, with the rank of Col onel- Beige = ardent admirer of General McClellan, he took an active part in cir enlisting the paper and swelling the amount subscribed. The retn't is that Colonel j Davis' rank was reduced to that of Miler, and he taken from Gen. Meade's staff and sent off to Santa Fe. Other officers are being treated in a similar manner, and .efforts are being made to degrade all officers who took prominent part in the work. Could party meanness, petty jeal, onsies and despotic power go further. ALLEGHENY Corr, October 16:1863.
