Bad Accident.
A gloom was cast over the citizens of New Castle, on Saturday evening last, on learning of the death o Mr. George Painter, a member of the Weyman Greys, of New Castle. – He went to Pittsburg on the Thursday previous with his company to escort the Lawrence Guards, companies H and F, home, and when on his way home, near Baden, he was standing on the platform of the Rail Road cars, when under full headway, admiring the surrounding country, holding to the break wheel; observing the brakeman upon the opposite platform kick the catch, he undertook to do the same, when the wheel revolved with such rapidity as to throw him some distance from the cars causing instant death. His remains were brought by the Guards, to New Castle, on Saturday night, and on Sunday they were committed to the tomb escorted by our different military companies, and an unusual concourse of citizens. The deceased was about thirty two years of age – leaves a wife and one child – was an official member of the Methodist Episcopal church in this place, and was much esteemed by all who knew him. He was a good man.
John B. Nicklin, Jr.
We are pained to state that our young friend and apprentice who volunteered in April last, to defend his country, in the United States Army, and whose time had just expired met with a severe assault on Wednesday night last in New Brighton, while on his way home, form a man named Lloyd of Fallston. It appears that there had been some difficulty at a drinking saloon, near the boat landing, about the time Nicklin came there when he was assaulted by Lloyd as one of the New Castle boys, who dealt a murderous blow upon the back part of his head, with a billet of wood, which injured the skull and felled him to the floor. His wound was dressed by Dr. Leasure, his Captain, who rendered him all the medical assistance in his power; but, he remained insensible of his situation until Thursday morning. He was brought to New Castle on the boat with his military companions, was taken from it to the Washington House, where his brother and sister were stopping awaiting his arrival, and in the evening he was removed to the residence of Dr. Leasure, who desired to have him under his immediate charge. His symptoms on Friday morning were more favorable for his recovery, and it is to be hoped he may survive. Every body here know that John Nicklin is a clever, inoffensive young man, vivacious in his manner and was much esteemed by his companions in arms, who certainly would have lynched Lloyd had he not made his escape.
We are authorized to return thanks to the citizens and military, for their kind attentions to make our young friend comfortable in his critical situation.
Camp Kettle.
This is the title of a little sheet, published every opportunity, by the Field and Staff officers of the Roundhead Regiment, Col. LEASURE, Commanding. We have received the first number. The Kettle is published as often as the exigencies of the service will permit, and is designed to be the vehicle through which much valuable information will be conveyed to the soldiers on all subjects, relative to camp life, from mounting guard to cleaning a musket. Of course, the Kettle is very small – not larger than two leaves of the spelling book; but the first No. contains a good tin cup full of important information for each soldier of the regiment. The articles are carefully written, so as to convey the most information in the fewest words, and we have no doubt the whole regiment will thank Col. Leasure for paying so much attention to their want.
We learn from its columns that the Regiment is fully armed, equipped and clothed, “except coats, pantaloons and overcoats.” Rather an important exception; but it is said they will have all these in a few days. The health of the men is generally good, and the character of the Regiment for the sobriety and good morals is becoming a subject of remark. There has been no case of discipline or drunkenness, since Regiment left home, no soldier in the Guard house, and the officers and men keep up the observances of the religion of their fathers in the camp, as they did at home. We hope the Kettle may always sing as pleasant a tune. The Chaplin, Rev. Browne is with them, and preaches twice on Sabbath and conducts a prayer meeting in the evenings which nearly all the officers and men are generally present.
The following “orders” will show how the boys spend their time.

Tidball, Esq., will go to Pittsburgh one week from next Monday, with all who enlist, where they will be taken charge of by Lieut. Col. Ekin, who will forward them to Washington.
The Rolls.
We have exerted ourselves to procure a copy of the muster rolls of the military companies that have left this place; but find it a difficult task just at present. We have the promise of all of them and they will be forthcoming as soon as the companies are full. We have received this week, the following two, which we publish and will give the others as soon as we get them.
