Having been put in possession of the following official report of Maj. Andrews, giving an interesting account of a recent scout of a portion of this regiment, we publish it, as well for the gratification of the friends of the regiment, as to place the gallantry of its men in a proper light, which has been at times unjustifiably assailed

Headquarters 19th Regiment N. C. T.,
Warrenton, Va., Oct 20th, 1862.

To His Excellency Gov. Vance :

Sir—I have the honor to report to you the success of the 2d N. C. Cavalry in a recent scout through the enemy’s lines about Centreville, Va.

With six companies of the regiment, I was ordered to make the scout Soon after sun up on Saturday morning, (having ridden for 18 hours without rest,) I advanced to the Centreville pike, and there saw evident signs of a force having passed. I learned from citizens that a force of cavalry and artillery had passed early in the night, and that it was followed by a guarded train of Yankee wagons. I got the forces all right and commenced the chase.
