169. General Patterson's defence.
The First Troop of Philadelphia (Pa.) City Cavalry dined together on Saturday, November 16th, at the Continental Hotel, to commemorate their foundation in 1775. Captain James presided, and Dr. Goddard, as Surgeon of the Troop, acted as vice-president.
Among the guests were Major-Generals Patterson and Cadwalader.
The dinner was altogether a delightful one.
When the cloth was removed, the health of Major-General Patterson was proposed by Lieutenant A. K. Arnold, attached to the United States Cavalry, who was with the General during the whole campaign on the Potomac, and in response to an enthusiastic call, he made a speech.
He returned thanks for the compliment paid him, and for the manner in which it had been received.
He said that he was not in the habit of giving reasons for any thing he did or did not do, but in the presence of men of so much intelligence as the members of the First City Troop, a part of his command in the short camp

204. experience of Lieut. Worden
Release of the First prisoner of war.
Lieutenant John P. Worden, of the United States Navy, who was arrested by the rebels at Montgomery, in April, 1861, is a resident of Duchess County, in the State of New York.
He graduated at Philadelphia, Pa., and has been twenty-eight years in the navy.
He was the first prisoner of war, and his arrest created considerable excitement at the time.
Lieut. Worden left Washington on the 7th of April, 1861, as bearer of despatches to Captain Adams, of the frigate Sabine, in command of the fleet at Pensacola.
The fleet had previously been sent to Fort Pickens, with two companies of artillery, for the purpose of reinforcing the fort when so ordered, and the despatches carried by Mr. Worden contained orders to that effect.
Lieut. Worden arrived at Pensacola by way of Richmond and Montgomery, on the 11th, having committed the despatches to memory, and torn them up for fear of arrest and search, owing
