More Lawlessness.—We learn from the Savannah News that some days since a party of women, numbering from twelve to fifteen, went to the Government warehouse at Valdosta, on the Gulf Railroad, and headed by one of their party who was armed with a pistol, broke into the building and took from it a quantity of bacon. No resistance was made, and the triumphant party loaded their plunder in a wagon and drove off.

In the same neighborhood a number of women entered a store and desired to purchase cotton yarns. The proprietor refused to sell for money, but was willing to exchange for bacon. As the women had no bacon to exchange, they forcibly took all the yarns in the store.

When you gotta have bacon--- you gotta have bacon.
