OBITU AIRY.

From the R,chnlond enquirer.
DIED on Wednesday night the 2olh Of March.
q, the age Of 80 years, the Rev. ABNER w.
CLOPTON, Of Charlo'te county, Virginia.
Mr.. Copton fell victim TO a violen. attack Of
Catarrhal fever, which all the skill Of his physi-
clans could not arrest. He died on tire 10Th day,
perfectly calm and resigned, without u struggle a
groan.-lf respectable BIRTH and personal ondow
ments if amiabe manners, and extensive benevo-
ence if carly and exemplary iicty, and unrcmit-
ted zeal during long and laborous life if any, or
all of these qualities combined can give weight
and neres, to character, Abner w. Ciopon must
be ranked amongst the most eniment persons OF
the day In which he lived.
Mr.. Ciopton was educated at the University of
North Carolina, and continued there some years at
ter he finished his acadcmcu studies, in character
as an instructor. But Iheoioey was all along
his iavorite study. He adhered strictly to his pur
pose in this, mistaken by the view of any worldly
disadvantage lie could sustain by means Of IT and
after no obtained licence to preach the Gospel he
came and settled in this county abou, tho ycas 1872,

From Ire Richmond Whtg.
Gentlemen In your remarks of yesterday on tho

the proceeding from btgining TO end-we alludc
to Colonel Morgan, eilntendcnt of the peniten

is extracted, until il was pointed ont to me this

appear this evening therefore give you the fol

feel authorized, am sure, TO confirm wla,
you have stated in the above extract, and 10 say
that believe the idea of making State flag, grew
out OF a conversation between the Governor and
myself about the Coat of Arms of the State and the
Has under which our troops defended tie Common
wealth during the early part Of the Revolutionary
Wal. In the absence of certain information, we
came 10 the conclusion, that the front design of

THE FROZEN CREW.

There are fearful wonders upon the
ocean-wonders in the tempest and in
the calm, in the tropical heat, and in the
cold and frozen seas. Thousands and
tens of thousands GO down in the deep,
and are no more seen forever. A more
fearful fate has belalen thousand sons
Of the ocean. Long before the idea of
the existence of new world was con-
templated by Europeans, the northern
seas had been traversed in every direc-
ton by the daring freebooters of the
north, who often bore the title of The
Kings or'the ea."-They had discov-
cred Iceland, and the settlement there
Termed became an asylum for the hosts
of northern, who were driven from Scan
dinavia, by the gradual approach of
southern civilization.
In time, Iceland also sent forth her
colonies, and early in the tenth century
effected a settlement on the coast OF
Greenland. 1t long languished for want
of sufficient population-in 9SS, Ericke
Randc. an Iceiandic chieftain, fitted out
an expedition Of twenty-five gallies at
iSnaefcN, and having manned them with
sufficient crews of colonists, set forth
from Iceland, bound to what appeared
20 them TO be more cOngenial climate
They sailed upon the ocean fifteen days
and they saw no land. The next day
brought with it storm, aud many a
gallant vessel sunk in the deep. Noun
tains of ice covered the waters as far as
| Al oh I.,s g..
Of the fleet escaped distru ction. The
morning of the 18th day was clear and
cloudless. The sea was calm, and far
away to the north could be seen the
glare of the icefields rejecting on the
sky. The remains ofthe shattered fleet
gathered together to pursue their voyage.
But the galley of Ericke was not with
them. The crew Of a galley which was
driven farther north than the rest, re-
ported that as. the morning broke, the
huge fields of ice that had covered the
ocean, were driven by the current past
them, and that they beheld the galley OF
Ericke Rande, borne by resistlcss
force, and with the speed of the wind be-
fore tremendous flake Office. Her crew
/ had lost all control over her--they were
tossing their arms in wild agony,
Scarcely a moment elapsed ere it was
walled in by an hundred icy hills, and
the whole mass moved forward and was
soon beyond the horizon.--That the
galley of the narraiors of this story es
capped, was wonderful. II remained,
however, unoontradicted, and The vessels
of Ericke Randc was neyor'more seen.
Half century after this event, a Dam
ish colony was established upon the
western coast Of Greenland. The crew

Of the vessel that carried the colonists
,hither in their excursion 20 the interior,
crossed range of hills that stretched to
the northward-they had approached,
perhaps, nearer to the pole than any
succeeding adyenturcrs. :.
Upon looking down from the summit
of the hills, they beheld vast and al
most ihterminable field of ice, undula-
ting in various places and formed into a
thousand grotesque shapes. They saw,
far from the shore, the figure of an
icy vessel with a glittering icicle in place
Of mast rising from it. Curiosity
prompted them to approach, when they
beheld dismal sight. Figures of men
in every attitude of wo were upon the
deck, but they were icy things. One
figure alone stood erect, and with folded
arms leaning against the mast. A
hatchet was procured, and the ice split
away, and the features Of chieftan
were disclosed, pallid and deathly, but
free from decay. This was doubtless
the vessel, and that figure the form of
Ercke Rande. Benumbed with cold,
and in the agony Of despair, his crew
had fallen around him. He alone stood
erect while the chill of death passed over
him. The spray Of the ocean and the
falling sleetshad frozen MS it lighted up
on them, and covered each figure with
an icy robe which the short lived glance
of Greenland sun had not power to
remove.
The Danes gazed upon the spectacle
with horror. They knew not but that
the same might be their fate. They
kneeled upon the deck and muttered a
prayer in their native tongues for the
frozen crew, then hastily left the place,
for the night was fast approaching.
