THE FIRST TROOP PHILADELPHIA CITY CAVALRY.
TN September, 1774, the first General Continental Congress met at Philadel-
phia, and troops from Europe arrived in America to enforce the arbitrary measures of the mother country, to erect fortifications, and seize and secure the military stores of her Colonies. In this alarming crisis, when the storm was about to burst and rage with violence in the Revolutionary war, the following named twenty-eight gentlemen, of the highest respectability and fortunes, vol- untarily associated on the 17th day of November, 1774, and constituted The Philadelphia Troop of Light Horse, now The First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry :
Abraham Markoe. .Captain.

They equipped at their own expense, volunteered their services to the Con- tinental Congress, and served during the entire Revolutionary war. While General Washington was in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, in 1776 and 1777, the Troop were his body guard. They served also with distinction in the war 1812.
On the 15th of April, 1861, the day of the President's call for seventy-five thousand men, the Troop tendered their services to Governor Curtin; but the government not requiring cavalry, it was only after great difficulty that they ob- tained, through the influence of Major General Patterson, a special order from the War Department in their favor, and were mustered into service on the 13th day of May, 1861, for three months. The following constituted the company :

As soon as they could be furnished with equipments, they were ordered to Carlisle. Leaving Philadelphia on the 29th of May, they reached the latter place on the night of the 30th, and were attached to the command of Colonel George H. Thomas. On the morning of the 31st, they moved, remaining over night at Shippensburg, where they were handsomely entertained by the ladies of that place, and reaching Chambersburg the next day, went into Camp
M'Clure. For four days it rained incessantly, and the material composing the
troop was fully tested, receiving unqualified praise from Colonel Thomas, who stated "that they had set an example to the Regulars, and one which he was pleased to say, had had very happy results." On the 7th of June, they moved from Chambersburg to Greencastle, where they remained five days, and thence to Williamsport. On the 17th, General Cadwalader being ordered to cross the Potomac, his command advanced as far as Falling Waters, where a slight skir- mish took place, and the confederates retreated. In the evening the division was ordered back to the river, but owing to some error in the orders, the troop and Colonel Dare's regiment remained out until the next day. Major General Patterson here joined, and took personal command of the column, and on the 2d of July, the entire army re-crossed the river. Proceeding about four miles, the enemy's out-posts were encountered; a section of Captain Perkins' battery under Lieutenant Hudson, was brought promptly into action, and was sup- ported by the troop. Early in the morning, the advance came suddenly npon the confederate lines, which opened with a heavy and destructive fire; at this moment General Patterson rode to the front, and gave an example that cnspirited and nerved his troops, it being the first time they had been under fire of either artillery or musketry. The next day, July 3d, Martinsburg was taken without opposition. The army remained there until three o'clock on the morning of the 16th, when they advanced to Bunker Hill, the Troop being this day in their saddles over fifteen hours. At two o'clock A. M. of the 17th, the advance was continued, and about noon they occupied Charlestown. On the 21st July, the entire command moved to Harper's Ferry, and on the 3d of Sep- tember the Troop crossed the river to Sandy Hook, where they remained until ordered to Philadelphia. While at this point, they guarded Kelly's and An-

PHILADELPHIIA CITY CAVALRY.
tietam fords and Charlestown road, and with Captain William M'Mullin's Ran- gers, were the only three months' troops remaining.
The Troop were mustered out of service on the 17th day of August, 1861, with the strongest and kindest encomiums paid by their commander, Colonel Thomas, for military capacity, strict attention to duty, promptness and bra- very. On this, as on every previous occasion, they were mounted and equipped at their own cost. Sixty-three of their number returned as officers in the Na- tional army, all of whom served with distinction in the different positions which they occupied, from Lieutenants to Generals. Many sacrificed their lives to . save their country and put down rebellion, among whom were Captain Thomas C. James, Colonel of the Ninth Pennsylvania cavalry, General David B. Bir- ney, Majors Taggart and Morris, and Captains Ash and Kuhn.
The Troop promptly tendered their services in May, 1862, under the requi- sition of the President for more troops, and the call of the Governor of Penn- sylvania, following close upon the disasters in the second battle of Bull Run, which, however, were not accepted. No sooner had the news of the second invasion of Pennsylvania by Lce, in June, 1863, reached the city, than the Troop proceeded promptly to Harrisburg, and tendered their services on the 16th of June; they were accepted on the 18th, and ordered by Major Gen- cral Couch to Gettysburg, to impede and observe the movements of the ap- proaching enemy. They were driven from South Mountain and Gettysburg on the 26th, and the next day from York to Wrightsville. After a slight skir- mish, they retreated across the Susquehanna river to Columbia.
On the same day, Captain Samuel J. Randall was appointed Provost Mar- shal of Columbia, where the Troop remained on duty until the 4th of July, when they proceeded to Harrisburg. On the 2d of July Sergeant Robert E. Randall was ordered to cross the river with thirty men, and to follow and watch the movements of the retreating rebels, which was continued until they reached Gettysburg on the night of the 3d of July. They did not, however, take part in the battle. On the 31st of July, 1863, they were, by order of General Cad- walader, relieved from duty. The following are the names of those who consti- tuted the Troop during this term of service :
