| Piedmont Railroad |
| We are gratified to learn from
the Greensboro' Patriot that this important Railroad connection will
soon be completed. The cars are now daily running from Danville to
Reidsville. |
| The track has already been put
down for five miles from this place, and material is being daily
conveyed over the same. |
| The distance at present of
unfinished grading, we learn, is about six miles, with about eighteen
miles of unlaid rail. |
| We further learn that Captain
Morrow, the Telegraph Superintendent for this and other roads, is making
all necessary arrangements to remove the old line, and will soon
establish a new telegraph line, immediately on the road, from one end to
the other. We shall expect to see the whole work complete in a few
weeks, and trust the Government will not allow the contractors to remain
idle for the want of materials. |
