The Championship OF the Onr-Cuffee
Oh his Muscle,

Some months ago, when the Oxford. Har-
ward rowing match was first projected, The
NEWS offered mild suggestion that an op
portunity be given to picked crew of the
lusty black oarsmen of our sea islands to
show what they could do in one Of their
own peculiar racc-boats in contest of
power, endurance and skill, with the crack
crews who claim to represent in its perfec-
tion the rowing science Of the two CONT
nents. Wo know that the trained boatmen
of the plantations, whose lives had been
spent on the water, had acquired style Of
rowing which, previous to the war haI been
the wonder ard admiration Of oil strangers
who were competent to judge of such mat
ters, and We had hoped that no mawkish
prejudice as to trace, color or previous con-
edition" would have denied to stthe man
sand brother tho chance to assert his
claim to the championship of the oar. Our
Proposition was reproduced in the North
ern papers with various comments; but
nothing ever came of il, and no invitation
was extended to Cuffee to take port In the
Great Race. We understand, however, that
Northern gentleman Of means, who is
extensively engaged in planting on the sea
islands, struck with the remarkable speed
which he saw attained by s,me Of the me-
gro boatmeu in his employ, has now deter
mined to extend in their behalf to the row
ing clubs of the world challenge to an
other grand contest Wo trust that the
offer of Cuffee to exhibit his muscle will,
this time, meet with moro cordial well
come.

CHI A r L E S r O N.
THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 1e. 1869.
The immigrants.

The Ncwberry Immigration Society is
still actively pushing forward the important
work which it inaugurated last year with
SO much success. A letter from Mr.. T. g.
Boinest, the president Of the society, an
nounces that it has already brought in
about three hundred immigrants, the largo
majority of whom have proved excellent
laborers. In view of the probable scarcity
of labor next year, the society anticipates
more orders for immigrants than it will be
able to fill. Those who wish to obtain
laborers through this channel are tn erefore
urged TO fle their orders as soon as possi-
BILE. The sooiety's agent will 60 to Castle
Garden early in November and remain
there until near the end of December, and
secure all the laborers who can be induced
to come South; and these will be given to
parties who have ordered, the operations of
the society being conducted upon the 'irst
oome-frst served" principle. II is hoped
that some of the immigrants will be sent on
as early as the middle of November, 60 as
to be of service in securing the cotton crop.
Negotiations are now in progress to induce
all the railroads in the State to transport
immigrants at reduced rates. God speed
the movement!
