Mere of Wheeler's Movement, NASHVILLE, Sept. 2.—Seyeral miles of the Nashville and attanooga railroad were burned by Wheeler’s force yesterday General Rousseau drove the rebel forces within three miles of Lavergne. He met with stubborn re- sistance. Persors just from Franklin report that the town isin the hands of Wheeler's forces, he having entered and captured it lastnight. Par- ticulars are not yet received. Our casualties in yesterday’s skirmishing were five killed, and fifty or fifty-five ‘wounded. A small body of rebels fired on a train at the Tennessee and Atlanta railroad, at Brentwood, eight miles from here. ‘The rebel loss yesterday was eight killed and fifteen wounded.

Bid- wellfrom the northern district. This is re- garded as an excellent ticket. An arrival from Honolulu brings dates to the 13th of August. King Kamehameha, on the 13th of August, after an excited speech, abro- gated the Sandwich Island constitution of 1852, and declared the constitutional con vention dis- solved.

A Word AxnouT PRAYER-MEETINGS.—Under this heading the Rev. T. L. Cuyler contributes to the Independeut some remarks on the man- agement of prayer-meetings. he says: Many churches are well filled on the sabbath whose weekly meetings are so thin that if a musket were fired through the room it would endanger no Ohristian life. Those who at- tend are seldom any other than church-officers, and “of deyout and honorable women quitea few.’ The meetings are nsually formal and stereotyped; they begin with “Mear’ and “On- toxville,” or “Old Hundred,” then a chapter lazily read, then a deacon, then “an opportu- nity for remarks,” then a silent pause, then a bymn or @ deacon, and the closing prayer dis- misses the handful to their homes. Do such solemn somnambulisms build upacharch? Do they bring spiritual baptism and promote revi- vals? Do they attract the young, the thought- less, the backslider, or any classes that need to be prayed for? MatonEs.—The mannfacture of friction matches commenced in this country in 1835, and the business has now become immense. A firm in Boston consumes over five thousand cords of wood per year, mostly young pines, and make fourteen million tour hundred and forty thousand matches perday!
