We are indebted-TO bnMrtgffiy esteemed fel-
low-citizeq, Robert L. Harris, Esq., for a copy
of the "A (/teuton," dated Athens, December 2,
1828. published every Tuesday by O. P. Shaw.
All out oldet citizfrao remember Col. Shaw.—
Ho was at tha bead m one of tboiargest mer
cantlle establishments in tho town, when we
first knew the place, (1845 )
There are many matters of interest in this
old paper. John Forsyth was then Governor,
and Gen. Jackson had been elected President,
but tho editor complains that tho returns were
not all in ! They had no railroads or tele
graphs then.
A paragraph copied from the Augusta Courier
states that •• Mr. John Moore, of Lexington,
will not attend tho Electoral College, because
ho cannot consistently with his judgment vote
for Gen. Jackson.
The Legislature was in session at the time
referred to, and Mr. Branham presented a
resolution to reduce the per diem of members
from four to three dollars per day—which was
lost, ayes 27, nays 37.
By an article copied from the Georgia Jour

The Wrong Man.
It will be remembered that we published,
some two weeks ago, a statement to the effect
that two “ commercial travelers” had behav
ed improperly on the outgoing night train on
the Georgia Railroad. This statement was
furnished by one of oar most reliable citizens,
and we did- not pretend to know anything
about it, nor do we now, except such informa
tion as we derive from others.
It would appear by the following letter to
Mr. A. S. Dorsey that Mr. John DeWilde, one
of the paitivs named, denies having any con
necnou with the affair, but admits the truth
of the statement as published, so far as others
were concerned. We regret that the wrong
name was furnished ns, and cheerfully pub
lish the correction ol Mr. DeWilde, and need
scarcely add that we do out wish to injure
him or the bouse he represents :
Mr. A. S. Dorsey:— I am very much sur
prised aud pained by a statement in one ol
your papers the •• Athens Watchman,” which
oas been copied by a number of other papers
in Georgia, in which my name is mentioned
as being connected with an affair which hap
