Piedmont Railroad
   The cars are said to be running on the Piedmont Railroad to the distance of nine and a half miles from Greensboro'. The trains run as far as to Reidsville, twenty-five miles from Danville, and the track is laid some mile and a half beyond Reidsville. Thus, there remains only about fourteen miles of the track yet uncompleted, which it is thought, will be ready for the cars in the course of two months. There remains to be graded only six or seven miles. By the 1st of June, it is expected (says the Danville Register) that the trains will be running through from Danville to Greensboro'.
   The foregoing from the Richmond Sentinel fully sustains the statement we made sometime ago upon the authority of a contractor on that road in regard to it. He said they talked about getting the work done in June, but it would be September or October before it would be completed.
