It was a deaperato undertaking, and Payne was certainly endowed with great determination and courage. We quote from the Century : ••The assassin left behind him In his night hi* blood-stained knife, hi* revolver— or father the fragments of it, for ho hod beaten it to pieces over tha head of if reU- erick beware—-and his hat. This last cp" porently trivial loss cost him and one ot his fellow-conspirators tht ir lives; for as toon os he had left the immediate scene oi bis crime, bis perceptions being qu.ckeucd by s murderer's avenging fears, it occurred U> him that Uie lack of a hat would expose him to suspicion wherever he was seen; so instead 01 making good bis escape, be abandoned his h»rao and hid himself for two days in the woods east of Washington Driven by hunger be at last resolved tr re turn to the city, to the bouse on II street which had been the headquarters ot the conspiracy. Hu made himself a cap from the sleeve of hU woolen shirt, threw over his shoulder a pickax he bud found in it trench, and coming into town uuder cover of the darkness knocked about mid night St Mrs. tturralt’s door. As his fate would liuvu it, the house was full of ofllcvra, who had that moment arrested all the tumults and were about 10 take them to the otficoot the provost-marshal. Payne thus fell into the bauds of Justice, and the utterance nf half a dozen words by him and the unhappy woman whose shelter he bad sought was the death wariant of both. Being asked by Major Smith to give an ac count ol himself, he said he had been hired by Mrs. Surratt to dig a drain for her. 8ha was called out and asked if she knew him. Not being aware of what lie had said, sbo raised her right hand, with un called-for solemnity, and said, “ Before growth- lu responw 10 his defiant words we said turn we earl been to d lhai Liucoiti’s bia) tr hud l et-u captureu; but that, >bough we did not sanclioii mb .ct a» uu a-.Mi>sin, „c were no; iuen to take "btocd L ooey ; ami that hatingpiom.s-x! his fiteud, wuo proved to be iTt-rohi, to X ke tliem act* -- the nvcrjo... place of sitety, we would do so.

I had Jell's ho.'sn tske-n from the stable, and, pl.tcing a guard over irni, we it-'laced our stops towards G<tr- reu’*. L’pon reaching Garrett’s orc'-.ard fence I hailed, and in company with Ih-iiins and the detectives, took « survey of the orem- ises. I had tne lecce taken down.

Tisa gab's sis front of the house w«« quietly opeetd, anil in a m.1,- ute, tho whole premises wort- surrounded. I dsstnocnUw. "id knocked loudly.at the front dour. Old Mr. G-ureti c-.tne out.

I have a in sn hens I found ia the corn-crib" It v as .\otsng Garrett, and I demanded the.whertubrmto of the fugitives. He replied, Tn the b,-rm” Leaving a tew men iVioend the house, we proceeded to the bafe, wb cli li-red intense patu all the lime llieio was | we surrounded. I k-cked «u Ibe door of God, I do not know him, uever saw him, and uever hired him." These words, the evidence of a guilty secret shared betwero thorn, started a train of evidence which led them both to the scaffold. "Booth was recognized bydoz nsol people as he stood before the footlights and brandished bis dripping dagger in u Brutus attitude.- Hia swift horse quickly carried him beyond Ibe reach ol any haphazard pursuit. He gnmed the-navy yard bridge in a few minutes, was bailed by a sentry, but persuaded the sergeant of the guard that he was returning to his home k, Charles c ouuty and (that he had waited in Washington till the moon should rise. Ho was allowed to pass, and shortly afterwards llerold came to the bridge and passed over with similar explanations. The assassin and hia wretched acolyte came at midnight to Mrs. Surratt’s tavsrn. Booth, whose broken leg was by this time giving him excruciating torture, remained outside on his horse, and Herold went in, shouting to the iun-keeper to give him ’ those things.’ Lloyd, knowing what was meant, without a word brought the whisky, carbines and field-glass which the Sarr-dts had depos ited there. Herold told Lloyd they had killed the President, and ibev rode away, leaving Lloyd, who was a sodden drunk ard mod contrabandist, unnerved by the news and by his muddy perception of his own complicity in the crime. He held bis tongue for a day or two; but at lost over come by fear, told qjl that he knew to the authorities. Booth and Herold pushed on through the moonlight to the Loose of an acquaintance of Booth, a surgeon named Samuel Mudd. Tbe pain 'of his broken bone had become intolerable and day was approaching; aid and shelter had become pleasingly necessary. Mudd received them kindly, set Booth’s leg, and gave him a room where he rested until the middle of the afternoon; Mudd had a crutch made for him, and in tbe evening sent them od their desolate way to the South. ** After parting with Dr. Mudd, he and Herold went to the residence of Samuel r*r Cox, near Port Tobacco, and were given by him into the charge of Thomas Jones, a contraband trader between Maryland and Richmond. He kept Booth and Herold in biding at the pen! of his own life, for more than a week, feeding and caring for them In tbe woods near his house, watching for an opportunity to ferry them across the Potomac. He did this while every wood- path was haunted by Government detec tives, while his own neighborhood was un der strong suspicion, knowing that death would promptly follow his own detection, and that a reward was offered for the cap ture of bis hiipless charge which would make a rich mm of any one wbo'gave him tup. So clone was the search that Herold killed the hones on which they had ridden not of Washington, for fear a nel&h might betray them." Major M. B. Buggies, of Mosby’s command, gives the following ac- cooiit- of tbe adventures of Booth after escaping from cue Potomac swamps. It will be seen that Major Buggies refutes the claims of Boston Corbett that he fired the bullet that I killed the slayer of Lincoln, and he.

FiUi- iug in this bed elded at the lust moment us i. were, ;o strike deadly blows at Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Seward,anu General Gran;. In the plot to kill, Payne alone was im plicated wiili h;m, not even Herold kuow- mg what was to he dcue. Atzerotd Kin-w nothing of the intended assissraulien, tor did, according to Booth’s statement 10 n.>; f.ny other txccpt’ug Payne. The name of lire. Sutrail was cot mentioned by him lie said that Pa./ue was to s rike a dea'h hloW at S-.-cre a y Seward, and lie, favored hy the fact that Fre idi-nt Liucolu and G< ner.J Grant were to attend the theatre together,was to kill both of them. Gen eral Gram’s having been celled away alouebaved bie own life, for, said Booth, •'I would have made no failure with either as 1 had laid my plaus for success on y. ’ That Andrew Johns'.n might appear to be, implicated in the plot of assassination' Booth said he had left that morning a uote j at the hotel where \Jie Vic* -Presifient'liv- J ed, to compromise him. He bad no idea, be said, Loin toe information receiveu abou; Washington, that the wur had leaily ended; lor had he nut believed that it would have bet J kept up by the South, he would not have struck the blow as he did. After getting safety out of Washington, hie intention was to cross the ii-je, e* quickly as possible, into ’‘te Corfederacy. Joining Herald at a rendtztfous, they had ridden bard through tbe uigbt to 2uin a place of safety; but having a broken leg. and learning after sever.il days, through toe papers, tout the wa- was ieai:y at an end, he determined to make Ins way to the stiver mines of Mexico, teeling that the South would be no place of ret uge for him. it has been said that Both had plen y 01 money with him; but he showed me Hi roe five dollar bills, ali that he had, excepting a kill of exchange; while Herold had cot as much. I asked him why he did not ni- to Europe, and (his arswer was that there was no asylum for such as he where moaarebs ruled, as tbeyfearei thtir own lives m ght he in danger trom Urn exam ple he had set. It is generally believed that Herold shot his own Booth’s horse; but Booth told me that after weighting them down, they let! them into the Potomac the night they em barked in the boat to cross, and drawing their heads over the gunwale cut their throats aud saw them sink from sight. From tbe examination that I made of bis broken leg, aided by some expeiier.ee 1 bod bad with wounds, I feel confident that amputation would have b. cn necessaay to save bis life, and perhaps that would not have prevented a speedy death. Soon after mj long conversation with 'Booth, Bainbrtdge and myself bade bint aid Bvrold good-by and went on our way, remaining that night in toe pices, aud nex day goiog to R .bo’s, where we learned that a compsuy of United Stitts cavalry were scouring the country and had captured the fugitives in Garrett s barn. Knowing to- barn web, end judging from *U the cii- cunjatmicts conn cud wife tbe burniug ot it, I feel convinced that Sergeant Boston C *bi tt has a reputation uudirsived as the slayer of Mr. Lincoln's ass .s ia. From the spot where SeTseaot Corbett was he could not Hive seen Booth where he stood, and certs ir ly could not have been able to shoot him iv the back of the bead. Having ask ed Capt. Doherty to fall back fifty paces wilb his men and give him a chance to come out, and very properly and naturally being refused his rrqfirA by Hurt gallant officer, decried hy Herold, tbe barn on fire, aud seeing that be must perish in the taken to Washington »nd hopeless, alone, and st bay, I to tbe bock of bis bead, the barn several times wi'hout receiving a reply. Meantime, another son nf Garrett’s bad been captured. The barn wits secured with a padloc k, H.id young Garrett carried the key. I unlocked the door, and again summoned the inmates of toe building to surrender. After some-. delay, Booth said, “For whom do you take.me?” 1 re plied, ‘ U deesa’t make any d.ffeiunee. Gome out.” He said, “I urn a cripple and a ont.” 1 said, "I know who is witu you, and yon tuid belie, sur.eodor.” Ha replied, “I utay be taken by luy friends, but r.oi by my foes.” I said, Tf you don't come obt, I'll burn the buildin;;.!' I directed a cor poral 10 pile up s.-uiu Lay in a entekr in the wall of the barn; aud set lb- building on fire. As the corporal wiU pirt-ing.up the hay and biusb,Booth said, “If yen come back here, 1 will put a bullet torough you." I then motioned to the connirai to desist, aud decided to watt for daylight, and the to enter toe;barn by both doors and o.-e power the assas ins. Booth thtii said,’in a drawling voice, "O Capt.-dri! tUe.-o is i- man in here who wants to hu:.toiler awful b-td.” I replied, “You had beder fellow his ex>-nipie-ii' ' come oui.' Hi, answer was, “No, l have not iii'-.d'j up my mi :d; but draw your men tip fifty p ees oil, asnt give me a cliat.ce forme life. 5 told liitr* 1 had not c unt tight; that l t.td fifty men, and could ii-ke him. Then he said, “Weil, my brave boys, prepare me a stretcher, and p' -ce another stein on onr glorious banner-'’ At tins moment, Herold readied the door. I asked him to hand out his aims; he replied that lie bad none. 1 told him 1 knew exactly what weapons he had. Booth replied, “1 own ail toe it .up, red may liAve iolise I hem on yon, genilcmeu.’' I then said to Herold, -‘Lot me roe your hands." He put them, tn >U"h the partly opened door, and 1 seized him by tbe wr-sta. I handed bi.nover So n non-com missioned officer. Just at tins moment, 1 heard tr shot, ifnd thought Booth had shot hints if. Throwing open the door, I saw that tho straw and hay behind Booth wetc on fire. He wt-> half-turning towards it. Hehad acrutcii, and he held a carbine 10 his hand.' 1 lushed into Hie burning hum, followed hy my men, and as he was falliog, caught him ujnler tin* arms and pull d him out of the barn. The burning building becoming too hot, 1 bad torn ried to the veranda cf G a Ten's botise. Booth asked me hy signs to raise hands. I IHir-d them tiff, and he gasped, ‘‘Useless, useless!” We pave him brat ' and water, but he could not f.wa'lpw it. sent to Port Iloyal for a physician, w coulJ do nothing-when he ctuue, and at 7 o’clock Booth breathed his last.
