MARYLAND.
The Free Constitution AdoDted

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.-THE returns are all In
and the home vote foots up II, S29 against ,2i6
for the new constitution, showing deficiency
on the home vote OF 1874.
The soldiers vote thus far received is 2,i63,
making a majority for the new constitution Of
$50 votes, which will be increased, it is thought,
not less than 500 more.
Thus the constitution is clearly adopted, and
Maryland enceforth ranks as tree State.

FROM GEN. GRANTS ARMY.
From the Army Of the James-A Recon.


nOissance North Of the James.
Especial Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune. !
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE JAMES, NEAR
RICHMOND, Oct. ia reconnaissance in force
was made on our extreme right to-day by the
First and Third Divisions of the Tenth Army
Corps and a portion of Kautz's Cavalry, for
the purpose Of developing the position of the
enemy in that quarter, and to arrest the build
ing of q new line OF works which they were
believed to be engaged in constructing on the
Darbytown road, about three miles from Rich
mond. ..Gaa.
Our forces advanced in fine style early this
morning, coming upon the rebel forces when
in good style for a couple OF miles. Owing to
the rapidity OF our advance, the rebels fell
back in such haste and confusion as to be una
BILE to occupy the line Of entrenchments ex-
tending across the Darbytown road, where the
fight occurred on the 9TH instant, and which
have since been occupied by the troops of
neither side They made stand, however, at
and our forces finding them Of considerable
strength, after feeling Of their position, were
ordered by Gen. Terry to fall back to the line
from whence Kautz's dismounted cavalry
were driven on the 9TH inst. The rebels, sup
posing our forces were retreating, made q
charge upon them as they fell back TO this line,
and received murderous fire from our artil-
lery, now for the first time brought into ac-
ton, and from which they retired with heavy
loss and great confusion, leaving the line Of
enuenchments In our possession
Our losses in the desultory engagements, ex.
tending several hours, amount IN killed and
wounded to some two hundred, no prisoners
in an unsuccessful effort made by Gen. Ames
to penetrate point in the enemy's line OF en-.
trenchments, near the Darbytown road, sup.
position beinc fonnd Of considerable strength,
General Terry ordered that it should NOT be
pressed and troops retired s,s5 to the poslon
as stated above, and which is not likely to be
again relinq uished. .-.-....-.-.. ~

HOME.

Home 5 not merely four square walls,
Though with pictures hung and gilded;
Eome IS where affection calls,
Filled with shrines the heart hath builded
Home go watch the gentle dove,
Sailing in the heaven above us
Home is where there's one to love,
Home is where there's one to love Us.
Home 5 not mer .ly roof and room,
1t needs something to endear it;
Home is where the heart can bloom,
Where there's some kind lip to cheerit.
What IS home with noae to meet,
None to welcome, monet to greet Us
Homc is sweet and only sweet
Where there's one we love, to meet Us.

WHY NOT ENLIST.

Why don't I enlist? All, you see
Ihave reasons that answer me well;
But there is my neighbor, young C.,
Why he stays no person can tell;
So hearty and rugged and brave,
And little TO do here, you know,
lie hasn't a house nor a field,
And there isn't reason to show.
'Tis true he's pretty young wife,
With a sweet little babe in her arms,
But shall man risk Nations dear life
Because a frail woman hath charms:
All, if he comprehended our need,
His wife and his babe would be kissed,
He would tear their white arms from his neck
And CO ne promptly up and enlist.
But have a farm and a house,
And cattle and sheep on the hills;
How can turn from profit and loss,
To think of a sick Nations ills?
What money Isrose if went.
What chances for traffic and gain
Then think Of the comforts Of home,
And the camp and the carnage and slain!
But there young Truman LeLoss,
Whose mother is widowed and old,
And ne has but little to do
Since their farm by the sheriff was sold.
II he should enlist and get shot,
smany a one has before,
His mother could come on the town,
Or ask aims at the wealthy mans door.
IT'S shameful such fellows as he
Should turn a deaf ear to the call.
That some should be slain by the fire
Cannot be the fortune Of all
If 1 only stood in his shoes,
With no fortune or kin to protect,
IF 1 faltered to shoulder my gun,
ought to be shot for neglect.
am ready TO cheer the old flag,
And toss up my hat in the air
So long as it costs not a cent,
BY the Union I'm ready to swear,
Let the blood Of the Nation flow out
Like river to vanquish its foe,
Let each father and brother turn out,
