The Congress of the Confederates States at Montgomery.

--Mr. Russell, the correspondent of the London Times, was present at one of the sittings of the Congress of the Confederate States at Montgomery. In a letter from that city to the Times, dated May 8, he says:

‘ As far as I could judge, an assembly of more calm, determined, and judicial-looking men could not be found in any country in the world. No one who casts his eye over those grave heads, some massive and full, others keen, compact, energetic, could doubt that he was in the presence of men with a great work on hand, and with great capabilities for the execution of their task.
