The Enterprise is entered at the postoffice as second class majl mat¬ ter but a first class newspaper.

Whisky pifist go, but wild just at this opportune been moment a coffee lias found which “makes drunk come quick and stay a longtime.” The president lias appointed his wire’s Cousin Hen to a good fat consulship. This may remind read¬ ers of “David Copperfield” of the circumstances under which Old Doctor Strong obtained hisyoung Wife’s cousin a distant appointment. In all accounts of the terrible distress from drought, prairie fires and the recent gulf storm in 'Texas great stress is laid upon the fee' that the Texas steer is in troui |e. If large numbers of people perish the fact is sometimes inci- dentally mentioned in connection with the cattle; biff it seems in tlie average Texan’s creed that it were better that ninety and nine ordi¬ nary Wien, women and children Should’ hot escape than that one broad-horn steer should suffer. President Cleveland lias received many invitations to come south from various fairs,commercial volitions, expositions, etc. Jlc in¬ variably professes to be anxious to come and promises to “consider” tlvo jpafter \ hljt he always refuses. We once mot his n pred¬ ecessor down in tiie Florida ever¬ glades fishing—and he had splendid luck, too—tint Mr. Cleveland can’t get so far from home. It really looks as if he is afraid to risk his precious <)}d Ayriifdltpois among thc’peojde who elected him. The Commission Miim <•». A properly constructed railroad commission is capable, perhaps, of doing some good, but not under the present unjust and oppressive law. Railroads have’built up antVdevel- pped tiie resources of this state bqore than all absolute other enterprises combined. The authority given tiie three men composing the commission is, as they have already sho\yn, extremely dangerous to tiie best interests q( tip, state,. v (kmipe¬ tition will regulate charges and keep them just ami reasonable. No tribunal can exist in this state that denies to citiaens the riglit of ap ' peal. The commission is'Wy.mg ;, in principle, and lias proven u just and oppressive in operation.

TliF. FI.OOD AT SAB1XEPAS8. The latest new.-, from the dissis- te^iit S'abiW Rass fully sustains the worst rumors that have preced¬ ed it. The tidal wave which swept away the town came with a sud¬ denness that left but little time for incident. The list of the dead is appalling. The number of lives lost in proportion to the number expdbed is remarkably large. It is known that at Sabine Pass and Johnson’s bayou as many as ‘221 lives were lost. The survivors are destitute. They have lost ail—even their clothing. Their homes are swept away, and it is doubtful if the lots on whieh their homes stood would npw cqir mand enough to pay the taxes for which they are assessed. (iAt'NT KAMINK. In the counties of Jones and Stone- wall, Texas, rain lias not fallen for fourteen months. The majority of the settlers have left there, and about four lnin'dred faiiiilies who are unable to go are in extreuip destitution. The region lias been transformed into a desert, Tiie sufferings occasioned by this terri¬ ble drought have left the cattle in a very weak condition, so much so that they can not possibly survive tin coming winter.

The Farmers’ llpiipf Association of Schley county meets in the court house on the fourth Saturday in this month. Farmers generally are invited to meet at 10 o’clock. I.EU AND U KANT. It must he admitted, says a writer in tiie Southern Bivouac, that when the two great Captains met face to face upi.n the Rapidan, in May, 1861, Lews reputation rested upon more battles fought—bloody, terri¬ ble battles—and victories won against greater odds than could be claimed for Grant. For three iopk 4 caps vyliqie power of the federal government, with it* unlimited resources, had not been able to reach the capital of tin* confederacy, and when Grant took command of all the northern armies, Richmond seemed to lie really less in danger than Wash¬ ington. The maxim, “better is the place of the defendant,” is as true in war as in law, and is especially npplica- 1,lP ,n !*ko that bet ween oyer, tiie Racial; liUKleru and fiurtiiworks, flu-Janies. defended More- by modern artilVerj’ and reppatteg rifles, are much more difficult of successful assault than were go, Radajoz or Aibuera, wliereWel jnignui won so much yenown in his PeniKsular eampaign. * .

He could have placed his army south of the James three months sooner than he did, and without flit, loss of the sixty thousand men who fouglit their last battle between the llupidan and the James, and that, too, without danger to Washington, After the siege of Richmond began the repeated and unavailing as- siiults ,>f the union army upon the confederate lines, extending as they did for a distance of over thirty miles, and defended by less than ■>0,IMM) nieii, are the best evidence of tiie skill of their commander as well aa the valo» of the besieged. Not until the following year, and until his base of supplies was threatened by other converging ,mien armies, was Lee compelled to evaeuate the city. Had it not been for the approach of Sherman from the south and the tirilliant and effective campaign Sheridan, in which lie easily routed the force sent by’Lee to protect Ids communicatioli will, Iivi.chburg, there is no telling how long the federate capital might have held Ollt. Tiie defense ef Richmond will al- ways stand out in history as one of tiie most remarkable military achievements of any age. it is true that Grant’s men had confidence in their commander and in ids ultimate success. It is not true that they' had equal confidence in his strategy. His pounding methods, so prodigal of life, inspired no personal enthusiasm or attach¬ ment. Lee, on the contrary, laid theprofoundest sympathy, even the heartfelt affections ol his men. They would die for him e\ en sooner than for the cause ort which they had staked their all. He embodied their ideal, both of manhood ami military skill. The confederate camp was full <h stories, true ns well as false, prov¬ ing his personal sympathy with them in their sufferings, and his masterly superiority as a general, This enthusiastic confidence, in a measure, supplied the place of num¬ bers and achieved victories wjtei e defeat seemed inevitable. In this highest military quality’ that in¬ spires the ‘ unquestioning devotion of liis soldiers, Lee wqs indeed one of the most remarkable generals of any age. In comparing the military history of these two men, the historian of another 'generation will say that they were strikingly alike in those characteristics that lit' at the foun¬ dation of military success, in quiet confidence, in that combination of moral and physical courage, that heroic persistence which pq t in,un¬ ity can defeat, whieh feels the as¬ surance of victory in the very hour of disaster. He will also say that in mental power, in the capacity for rapid combination, in strategic invention, which is seen in the skill¬ ful disposition of his troops before and in a battle, in the go ins that enables a general with inferior numbers to gain tiie stronger posi¬ tion, and to have more men at the point and moment, and e.s- peeiallv in the power of personally inspiring ills men to endure and achieve, L,'e was beyond all ques- tion tiie greater commander.
