GEN. VIM. H. PAYNE.

The death of Gen. Wm. II. Payne,
which occurred in Washington on the
18th uit.. removes one of the most
striking and remarkable Virginia
characters. Gen. Payne had a war
record equal to the best, he was gal
lantry itself, and what he did whilst
II accomplished by some would have
been blazoned eyeryw here, when ac-
complished by him in SO far as he was
concerned, passed into oblivion. He
never wrote of his life, though few
could have written more Interestingly
Still many of his friends know his
deeds and we trust they may yet be
Inscribed where they will not fade from
memory. One episode in bis life which
should be made historical was when
being prisoner in Washington be was
being taken through the streets, and
it being just at the time of the assassi
nation OF President Lincoln, and one
of the assassins being named Paine,
Gen. Payne was mistaken for the as
sassin and an Infatuated mob sought
to take him from the guards and lynch
him. The guard. however, succeeded
in preventing this and Gen. Payne's
life was saved. This incident should
have been recOunted in his own Ian.
guage, but it was not. so far as we
have heard.
