 the rebels in Virginia, and Georgia, and else where in the South. will be rejoiced to learn that an arrangement has been concluded be- tween the Commissioners of Exchange by which the sufferings of the prisoners will be greatly aleviated. We, are to be permitted to send south for ous troops in captivity, clothing and food, being limited to such things as are necessary, such as clothing, blankets, meat, bread, coffee, sugar, vinegar and tobacco and the rebels are to be permitted to supply their troops who are prisoners, iR the same manner. The rebels have the privilege of purchasing their supplies abroad. An officer from each side will be specially detailed and paroled to see to the faithful execution of the plan.- Neither party are by this agreement freed from the obligation to feed and clothe the pris- oners held by them respectively. The propo-- sltion comes from Judge Ould, the rebel Com missioner of Exchange. and was at once ac- cepted by our military authorities. The news will bring joy to the hearts of many families at the North whose dear ones have been Ian gushing and suffering for many months under tn eh arsh and cruel treatment of the rebel au- | thorities. We only hope that this mitigation of their sufferings is but the first step towards general exchange of prisoners.
