The doctor gives the following interesting items:- "The Missionary collection has been better than usual, and there has been an increase in the Conference of near two thousand. The Rev. Jos. Cross, A.M., late of Poydras-street church, New Orleans, has been appointed Professor of English Literature in Transylvania University. He is here, and will enter immediately on the discharge of his new duties."
