At Richmond, lately, a number of women, headed by a market woman, went through the streets accompanied by a number of rowdies, and went into several stores, presenting pistols and knives and helping themselves to goods. They pretended to want food, but stole calico, cloth and everything but breadstuffs. Several such scenes have occurred in other southern cities, and there is good reason to believe it is part of a system organized at the North, and carried into effect through Lincoln emissaries in Dixie. The northern papers make a great bluster over this, and point to it as an evidence of our desperate condition.
