ARRIVAL or IiEtT. KURT IN PHILAnELPEiA.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Client. Kurtz OF
the United states navy, whose arrival IL
Washington from Richmond on his parole OF
honor, has been previously noticed IS COW
stopping IN this city. HIS parole, which is
for ffty days, was obtaiueG chiefly through
the IntercassIOn of ex- Senator Mallory after
enduring fer several weeks, in company with
q fellow prisoner, Lieut.. Selden, also of the
navy, the horrors of Richmond cell
The chief object Of the rebel authorities for
granting his parole was to obtain Lieutan-
ant hurtz's influence with the Washington
Cabinet TO arrange for an exchange of prs
oners, including himself; and /, is under
stood that he has 40 far enlisted the sYmpa-
thles OF The Government by his description
OF the Ill treatment OF the Union prisoners
as 10 have received from Secretary Seward
and Secretary Ne'ie>, as well AS the Pre>i-
dent, the assurance that the Cabinet would
give the matter the deepest consideration
without delay, with Ae prospect of succeed
ing in etfact!ng some amicaDie Arrangement
which Will m eel the views of the rebels and
a. the same time preserve the dignity of the
Government
Lieut.. kurtz will probably be exchanged
with DR.. Sharp, now prisoner at Fort Nc
Henry.
