FIGHT AT KILMALLoCK.
Between and 6 clock Tuesday morn
ing, the police occupying barrack, situa..
ted about half way between Kilmalock and
the railway station, and in en- isolated posi-
ton, were alarmed by sudden volley fol-
lowed by shouts, and found themselves be-
besieged by body of FenianS,
estimated at about 100 men, led By person
in conspicuous uniform The police, un-
der their officer, Mr.. Millen, prepared to
defend the barracks, and several exchanges
of musketry ensued, the Fenians firing In
extended order from such cover as the
front afforded, and also from the open
ground, while the police replied with their
revolvers and guns from the shelters OF the
windows Three of the attacking party
were shot dead, and number calculated at
from ten to fifteen wounded but then 1t Is
at present impossible accurately to state as
to the wounded men borne away by their
companions, who, finding their attack fu-
tile, retired One policeman is reported
wounded, and a DIR. Cleary killed. Troops
were instantly telegraphed for to the juno
| ton, and a strong detachment of the Sixty
| second were dispatched to the spot. Last
night at midnight l4O men of the same
regiment followed from the Junction, and
an hour later another special conveyed an
/ additional party. 1t was supposed the
authorities expected another demonstra-
ton last night, but the movement is, no
doubt, intended to push the troops after the
tugitives.
| MIDDLETON.
| The district including Cloyne, Middleton,
Castlemartyr, and Ballymacoda has from
an early period in the history of FenIanisn,
! been known as one Of its greatest strong
! holds, and the conStabulary Of the locality
| have long held the opinion that, if a rising
| did occur, it would be the scene of the first
disturbances. ln it's own action, however,
| it has shown systematic union OF action
| that contrasts strongly with the late futile
| attempt In the county OF Kerry.
| The first proceeding took place at knocka-
doom, about six miles from oughal, on the
| coast, where there was q coastguard station,
| occupied by five men and chief boatman.
| As early as nine o clock last evening the
coastguard station was attacked by body
| of armed men, numbering about sixty, led
| by horseman. They were well armed.
The coastguards surrendered in the face of
overwhelming numbers and they were, with
the exception Of one sick man, taken prls-
oners, and marched off by tho Fenlans, who
carried with them all the arms and ammu-
milton in the station. They then proceeded
to Middleton, where they encountered a
patrol of police, whom they called upon to
surrender to the Irish Republic.
| When the police did not obey the call,
! DAILY, the Fenlan leader, seized Sub-COn-
stables . Donnell's rifle, and presenting a
! revolver at his head, fired. o Donneli at
the same time pushed Daily slightly FROM
! him, and thus caused the pistol bail to
| glance round the back of his head, the
powder smuggling his hair. At the same
moment the party of Fenians fired volley.
| y ball entered Sub Constable Sheedy S
| breast, low down near the stomach, on the
| right side, and after running short dis
| lance up the chapel road, he fell and prob
/ ably bed TO death. The remainder of them
! then fled, leaving arms, &c, In the hands
OF the Fenlans. They are reported TO be
/ dressed in uniform, and armed with swords,
rifles and pistols DAILY was shot dead
while leading on his men. He leaves large
| family.
The firing at Middleton is said to have
| been as regular as disciplined troops. The
party had come with baggage all the men
| seemed to wear haversacks containing pro
| Visions and as we'll as the police could see
them through the windows, they had rifles
! nd hn,, oh al
''sioped," in true military style.
TRALEE
Wednesday evening. -Intelligcnce Tps
received here to-day that the Millstreet
railway station was attacked last night, by
! party Of armed men, who demanded OF
the night porter the keys Of the station.
In his refusal to deliver them up, a revol-
yer was placed to his breast, and he was OBJ
Eged to forego his intention to resist their
demand, aud hand over the keys to them.
1t stated that the assailants broke the tel
egraph machine, and took away with them
gun, some pickaxes, and other instru-
! ments. Intense excitement here.
The insurgents are Selling arms and am,
munition wherever it is to be got +; eight
men boarded ship lying in Cork Harbor
on Wednesday, and, demanding arms, car
ried off six fine muskets. Railway COM
munications between Cork and Dublin has
been broken and repaired, and at last ac-
counts had been broken again. The Fen
ians struck the line at different places, and
LII bodies of from 80 to 500 men. All is
excitement, uncertainty, and doubt.
The papers contain accounts of numerous
other engagements having taken place
