| We are informed that the
trains on the Piedmont railroad will be run entirely through, from
Danville to Greensboro, by the 1st of June. At present they are running
from Greensboro, nine and a half miles. There remains only about
fourteen miles of the track to be laid, the greater portion being
already graded. The guage of the Piedmont railroad is the same as that
of the North Carolina. This connection is important, not only as a
supplement to our military communications, but it will shorten the
distance between Richmond and Charlotte more than a hundred miles. |
