From the Wilmington Journal

The Piedmont Railroad
   The Danville Appeal states that the contractors are vigorously prosecuting this important work. The entire grading is to be completed by the 1st of May next, under a heavy penalty. Already a mile or so of it is done, and a large number of hands are engaged upon it every day. The number of hands will be increased shortly to fifteen hundred, and it is said the grading will be done by Christmas, perhaps.
