From the Syracuse fN. " Journal.
The record Of great expectations realized
and Of fortunes achieved in an almost incred.
IDLE short period, in the oil regions Of Penn
sylvania, is like . romance Of the Arabian
Nights order. Reports current here for
several days, which make former resident
in tho most humble circumstances q verita-
BILE millionaire, prove to be correct. John
son b. Brown, for years journevman tail
or, and subsequently Lieutenant Colonel in
the lOlst N. Y. volunteers is the fortunate
individual. After q long season Of prospec-
ting in the oil region, which apparently re-
suited in nothing more than sadd.ing him
with obligations which promised nothing
but hopeless ruin, he left that region with
scarce money enough to tax him out Of the
State. He made his way to Chicago, and
soon after started on his way t. this State.
At Buffalo he was met by several oil specu-
lators who aston'shed him by offering him
800, 1000 for his interest in track of land at
Pit Hole on Oil Creek. But like the true
oil Spectator, Brown declined the offer and
vowed he would get more or bust On to
the oil region he went. and there found that
his interest in . newly developed flowing
we'll was highly valuable. The result was
that inside Of three days from that time,
Brown lesrred that he was not beggar, he
was possessed Of . round million of dollars
in greenberks, which we're readily paid him
by New York parties. Brown, the PENN
less tailor, has become Brown the million
aire.

In reference to report circulated by a
Quebec correspondent that the news had
been received from Washington OF the with
drawal Of the obnoxious passport order, and
Of desire on the part Of the federal author
tiles to meet the Canadian government in
friendly spirit, an American exchange says:
I'VE learn from well-informed quarter that
the statement on the part Of our govern
ment to relax the passport system till it
shall become much more clear than now.
that 1t IL not necessary to our protection"
L il understood that Mr.. Seward has posi-
lively refused to abolish the passport sys-
tenn unless the st. Adams raiders are given
up, and number Of prominent southern
refugees in Canada expelled from the coun-
try; and the monstrous demand will,
Of course, be granted. The southern
families, who came among US for the pro-
lection which they innocently believed our
laws afforded to the prosecuted Of foreign
states, will be driven out Under the alien act,
ana the unfortunate raiders will doubtless
share the fate Of Burley.

As general thing we detest PAROLES, but we can
not resist the temptation to copy the following, which
think the best of its kind have ever seem
Some portions are oily well written but truly
poetic:
MY DEBORAH LEE.
IT'S dozen or so of years ago,
Somewhere in the West countree,
That nice girl lived, We HOLSTERS know,
BY the name of Deborah Lee;
Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe,
But Deborah by me.
Now was green and she was green.
AS summers squash might be,
And we loved warmly as other folks,
I and my Deborah Lee
Witha love that the lasses Of Hoosierdom
Gov eted her and me-
But somehow ii happened long ago,
In the agueish West countree.
That chill March morning gave the sIakss
To my beautiful Deborah Lee;
And the grim steam doctor Coarse him) came
And bore her away from
The doctor ard death; old partners they,
In the a2ueish countree.
The angels wanted her in heaven,
fBut they never asked for me;)
And that ia the reason, rather guess,
In the agueish West countree,
That the cold March wind and the doctor and death
Took off my Deborah Lee
Nv beautiful Deborah Lee
From the warm sunshine and the opening flower,
And bore her away from me.
Our love was as strong as six-horse team,
Or the love of folks older than We,
And possibly wiser than we;
But DEATH with the aid of doctor and steam,
Was rather too many for me:
He closed the peppers and silenced the breath
OF my sweetheart DeborahnLee;
And her for m lies cold in the prairie mold,
Silent an culd-ah, me!
The foot of the hunter shallpress her grave,
And the praiiie's sweet wild flowers.
In their oderous bespty around it wave,
Through all the sunny hours;
The still, bright summer hours,
And the birds shall sing in the tufted grass,
And the nectar-laden bee,
With his dreamy hum on his gauze wings pass,
She wakes no more TO me;
All, never more to me!
Tho The wild birds sing and the wild flowers spring
She wakes no more to me.
Yet oft in the hush of the dim, still night,
vision of beauty see,
Gliding soft to my bedsde-a phantom Of light,
Dear, beautiful Deborah Lee
My bride that to be,
And wake 20 mourn that the doctor and DEATH
Aud the cold March wind, shouldstop the breath
my darling Deborah Lee
Adorable Deborah Lee;
That angels should want her up in heaven
Before they wanted me
