[Chamber a Journal.] THE FLAG OF THE PBOPHET. i.. .. i??? ll,. v?l. T_:t .1 Ill (I lOVbUl w; llio ilDIT UlUUIIt', Uil" ted, Constantinople, August 3, is given the following description of the Flag wf the I'rophet, and the influence it would have upon the Turkish people if the Sultan should decide to bring it out: There have been many rumors that the holy flag of the Prophet would bo brought out a? a rallying point for the whole nation, in view of the aspect of affairs. In fact, it is said that the Sultan has so long resisted * the pressure of tho people fer this, that the veuorable flag has threo times undertaken t<i shame him by going forth of its own accoid u flight from the window. For ton days tho Christians of this city have been iu terror by reason of this rumor, as they bolicvc that the appearaneo of the flag would be tha signal for a general attack on Christians.? Three times my servants have come to uio with white laces to say that such a day had boon lixed for tho massacre?the bioaduiun said so?aud every tirno they put unshaken faftli in the new computation of dates, liko the Adventists in matters of the cud of the world. The Turks, also, are iu terror much of the tirno, lest the Christians rise aud massacre them. Thus many of tli6 people of this city lead lives that are wretched from fear. The flag which has caused such tcr? ror in the kitchens of Constantinople?the Sau-jak-i-Sherif it is called?is an innocent piece of rottou and faded silk, which used to be covered with sucrod writings, nndoncc was greeu in color. The only legible word remaining upon it is "Aleni" (world,) which appears in a secluded fold near the stall*.? This flag is never unfurled?nor, indeed, can ne, iroiu rouenne.ss?a cuaructunsr.ic which moralists may use for the basis of u shnilo connected with the nation to whom the 11 ig belongs. The (lag is kept rolled on its st.-.lT and covered with a green satin cover, the whole packed away in a gold or gil ded box. When the holy standard is to be bro.tght out, it is carried in its green covei through the streets of Constantinople, and after the city walls arc passed, it is "in the field." It is then stowed away in tho gilded box once more, aud this is carried with the artny, much as the Jews used to tak? th? Ark of tho Covonaut to the wars. When it is in tho field every Moslem is in dutybound to go to the wars, li is not, commonly, a signal for a general attuok on Christians, although it does mean that no quarter will be giveu iu buttle. The danger of its display is, that the people, bciug called upon in a general way to make war, do so each after his own style. The bringing out of the great flag in this war would be au abrogation of the Geneva Convention for the amelioration ?f sutl'ering on the battlo-licld.

Their names aro Pittacus, Bias, Solon, Thales, Chilon, Cleobulus, and Poriauder. Tho reason of their being called wise is given difiereutly by various authors; but the most approved accounts state that, us some Ooaus were tishiug, certain strangers from Miletus bought whatever should be in the nets without seeing it.? When the nets were drawn iu they were found to eontaiu a golden tripod, which . Helen, as she sailed from Troy, is supposed to have thrown there.
