No. 157. — Report of Maj. Isaac Rogers, 110th Pennsylvania Infantry.

NEAR WARRENTON, VA., August 4, 1863.
SIR: I have the honor to report to Major-General Birney, through you, the part the One hundred and tenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers took in the battle of Gettysburg, Pa., on July 2 and 3.

After arriving as far to the front as was deemed prudent, the regiment was moved off the road with the brigade in the edge of a woods to the right.

At 1 p.m. Lieutenant-Colonel Jones, commanding regiment, was ordered to move forward to a piece of woods and form a line of battle. After this was done, he was ordered to move within supporting distance of our skirmishers, which was promptly and calmly done under fire of artillery.

After being in this position until 3.30 p.m., the lieutenant-colonel was ordered by a staff officer to advance 50 paces and join the brigade on the right, under a heavy fire of artillery, which was done with much coolness. After getting established in this position, the skirmishers were driven back, when the general engagement commenced at 4 p.m.

Here Lieut. Col. David M. Jones was severely wounded, and the command of the regiment was given over to me. The battle continued with a determination on both sides to conquer or die until 6 p.m., when the enemy in our front fell back, and the order to cease firing was given. This being done, I was ordered by a staff officer to fall back and give place to fresh troops, which was done, moving through apiece of woods, where the brigade was bivouacked for the night. Here my command was prepared for action on the following day.

Early on the morning of the 3d, I was ordered to move a short distance to the right, behind a piece of woods and near corps headquarters.

After being in this position forty minutes, I was ordered to take up a position on the same ground occupied by this regiment the day before, previous to going into action.

At 1.30 p.m. I-was ordered to move forward to a stone fence. Soon after being in this position, I was ordered to change position, and was conducted to the right, behind a battery, where I remained during the afternoon. The fire of the artillery was kept up all afternoon. The casualties in my command, though, were trifling, 2 men being slightly wounded.
At 8 p.m. I was ordered to move forward to act as a picket during the night, which was done. Here we remained until morning behind temporary earthworks.

My command behaved well during the two days’ battle, and as all did well and deserve praise, I will not particularly speak of any one.
