Bowie-Knives not used.

--A correspondent writing from Leesburg, says bowie-knives were not used, though the cavalry, under Capt. Ball, who had dismounted and were fighting on foot, used their revolvers with considerable effect. I have heard several accounts of rencontres with the bayonet, but probably more than two or three actually took place. The Yankees ran before our boys could get within perforating distance.
