Sad accident at Warrington

--We take the following extract from a letter dated at Pensacola, the 4th inst, from the Mobile Evening News, of the 5th:

‘ "There was a great accident at Warrington camp yesterday afternoon. Two corporals and one private of the green sort, who came from Mississippi lately, whilst playing, (as they thought) and hammering away on the cap of a loaded bomb shell, it exploded, killing the two corporals instantly, and severely, perhaps fatally, wounding the private. The shell was one of those thrown by the enemy during the recent fight."
