 and Foreigners in west Virginia.
 Cincinnati. June 23.--A special from Clarksburg. W. Va, says:
 War has broken out in the camps at Lfoga. Nicholas county, on the. Cram berry river. between American and for eign laborers. The trouble originated over the displacement of Americans by foreigners in good positions. When the Americans were tousted they re- sorted to their firearms and the result was that pitched battle was fought between the two factions, which re. suited in the death of one foreigner and the fatal woundfhg of another. Several were slightly hurt
 :. The news spread through the noun tain regions like wild fire. Camden learned 1t first and having had simi- lar experiences with the foreign ele- rnent 100 men armed with their rifles, yesterday started across the mountains to aid the Americans The foreigners had pickets watching. and sighting the advance of the armed men, gave the alarm and nearly all of the foreign element at Lioga fled to Redwood, fifty miles away for safety.
 The Camden men arrived later in the day and offered their services but as the foreigners were gone no disturb ance occurred.
 The Americans threatened to anni- hilate any band of foreigners they may see. The mill owners have determined to assist the foreigners. but as they are all leaving. the help will avail nothing. < The Americans declare they will not hermit the forelgners to return to work. The mill owners aver they will dis.. charge every man who interferes ana fill his place with foreigner More trouble is expected. q
