Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
the election in Montgomery.

Christianssure, May 24, 1861.
--Our election came off on yesterday in a very quiet manner, and old Montgomery, as usual, has proved true to her interest, and to the cause of the South. We have heard from all the precincts except one, and there has not been a single vote against the ratification of the Ordinance of Secession. We are of opinion that the entire vote in favor of ratification will be about 1,350. I understand that the vote in Floyd county was unanimous in favor of the Ordinance. Rice D. Montague was elected to the Legislature without opposition. M. D. R.
