An Amazon.--The Gettysburg correspondent of the Detroit Tribune gives the following account of a female soldier:

"I talked with Mary Lippey this morning. She is the French woman who has followed the 11th Pennsylvania regiment since it entered the service. She is an interesting character. She wears the regular Zouave uniform; the only one thing indicating her sex is her dress in a short skirt. She wears red pants and top boots, carries a revolver, and sometimes a musket, if one of the boys gets too tired to carry his. She is the idol of the regiment, and they have good cause to revere her. She gave me an amusing account of her arrest by the Lieutenant Colonel in command here, a few days after the fight. Mary was coming in from camp for supplies for the wounded, and was arrested and taken to jail. She said he was a militia colonel, and did not know his duty. She showed her pass, but it would not do, and he was about to search her, when, with pistol in hand, she ordered him to 'stand off.' 'I am a woman,' said she, 'but I can teach you your duty; lay a hand on me and I will shoot you.' The colonel soon saw he had made a mistake, and ordered her release. She is known as Mary all through the camp, and has saved the life of many a poor fellow. She had followed the French army seven years, went through the Crimean campaign, and has served nineteen months in this war."
