Guerrilla Fighting in the West.

--We copy the following from the Tazewell Democrat, of May 8d:

‘ A force of 150 Lincoln cavalry in Logan county, Virginia, met a defeat, a few days since, at the hands of Captain Dick Stratton and his men, numbering about 90. The Lincolnites marched on Brittain with the design of cutting him off. Anticipating their design, be suddenly fell upon their rear, dispersed them and killed fifty of their number.
